Today, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood aspects of high-performance real estate—the battle between vision and ego. Vision vs. Ego: The Real Battle Your vision is the promise you’ve made to yourself—the life you want, the impact you seek. Your ego is the external fuel—rankings, recognition, competition—that pushes you forward. 📌 When ego leads, you lose sight of your purpose. 📌 When vision lacks drive, you struggle to take action. I’ve lived both sides—from my real estate heart attack in 2008 to rebuilding my career and redefining success. Today, I’ll show you how to turn ego into fuel and ensure every step aligns with your true purpose. Are You Letting Ego Lead? Many advisors fall into ego-driven thoughts: 🔹 I need to be #1 to feel successful. 🔹 If I don’t beat my competitor, I’ve failed. 🔹 I must prove something to others. 🔹 I have to dominate at my age. 🔹 I need a comeback to silence doubters. 🔹 I’ll just grind—I don’t need a vision. If these thoughts drive you, you’re chasing an empty scoreboard. The game changes when ego fuels vision—not the other way around. Winning the Internal Battle Ask yourself: ❓ Are you focused on your progress or distracted by others? ❓ Are you making daily commitments or searching for excuses? ❓ Are you surrounding yourself with people who elevate you? Your mindset, habits, and strategy determine your results. If you wake up chasing external validation, you’re in a losing game. But if you’re committed to becoming the highest version of yourself, you’re on the right path. The Commitment to You vs. You This is why I created Take Flight—to help advisors win their battle. But here’s the truth: ➡️ The commitment must come from YOU. If you don’t commit to competing against yourself, you’ll eventually hit your own version of a real estate heart attack. 💡 The battle is won in your mind. It lasts years, not weeks. 💡 When you push past doubt and distraction, your life transforms. Lifting Others as You Climb As real estate award season begins, achievements are recognized, rankings are posted. But true success isn’t just about winning your battle—it’s about helping others win theirs. ➡️ Be the mentor. ➡️ Be the encouragement. ➡️ Be the inspiration. Take Flight: Your Next Level At Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty, 50 advisors are beginning their Take Flight journey—the coaching program I created to help advisors reach new heights. Personal and professional growth is a continuous journey. Now is the time to commit to your next level. 🏡 That house I thought I built in 2008? Looking back, I realize the truth—That house built me. Team, have a great week. I’ll talk to you next Monday. 🚀 Stay Connected with Jim Miller 📩 Join My Monday Morning Pep Talk Weekly Email → www.askjimmiller.com 📺 Subscribe on YouTube → www.youtube.com/channel/UCe3o0Wp1nE8dV_r1TFRb_Uw 📲 Follow on Instagram → www.instagram.com/askjimmiller 🔗 Connect on LinkedIn → www.linkedin.com/in/jimmillerchicago

  • 🔑 The Business Plan That Changed Everything | Monday Morning Pep Talk #269 ✈️
    Feb 20 2025
    What if your entire business model came down to one simple principle: give, give, give? In Monday Morning Pep Talk #269, I’m revisiting the 2011 business plan that completely changed my career trajectory. That year, I made a bold decision to build my business purely on relationships—no transaction goals, no GCI targets, just a relentless focus on adding value. It was the foundation of Take Flight, and the principles I learned then are even more relevant today. The real estate industry was in crisis—36% of all transactions in Chicago and Cook County were short sales or foreclosures, and we had 12-15+ months of inventory. Traditional lead generation tactics weren’t working. Instead of cold calling, I doubled down on helping people. By consistently providing insights and staying present when others disappeared, my business doubled for the second time in three years. That momentum shaped everything I teach today. If you’re looking for a predictable and enjoyable way to grow your business—without the constant peaks and valleys—this episode is for you. What You'll Learn: ✅ How 2011 taught me to build a career, not just chase transactions ✅ Why a relationship-based business is more sustainable than prospecting ✅ How top advisors stay top-of-mind by engaging their five lists ✅ The critical role of a CRM in scaling a relationship-based model ✅ Why giving isn’t about bartering—it’s about influence ✅ How leading indicators (client engagement, conversations) drive long-term success ✅ Why today's top brands win by giving first before asking for business The 2011 Playbook – Still Relevant Today: 📌 Give, give, give—then give more 📌 Your business is built in conversations, not contracts 📌 Stop thinking in transactions, start thinking in decades 📌 If you feel helpless, be helpful—but systematize it 📌 No CRM? No business. CRM = Stability & Scale 📌 Your influence is built on authentic giving, not expectation 📌 Leading indicators (meaningful conversations) predict success, not lagging ones (closings) Final Thought: The Modern Version of Giving Today’s most successful brands give value before they ever ask for business. The same applies to a relationship-based real estate business. If you’re not consistently nurturing your network, engaging your past clients, and staying top-of-mind, you’ll always be forced into transactional prospecting instead of a sustainable, repeat business model. If you want to create predictable success, watch this episode and start implementing these principles today. 📩 Get More Coaching & Resources 📬 Join My Weekly Email List → www.askjimmiller.com 📧 Email Me → Jim@askjimmiller.com 📲 Follow Me on Instagram → www.instagram.com/askjimmiller 🔗 Connect on LinkedIn → www.linkedin.com/in/jimmillerchicago 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts → podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ask-jim-miller/id1490481207 🎵 Stream on Spotify → open.spotify.com/show/639ZlTcWjTNW9Cdq8QkwQJ 🔔 Don’t Forget to: 👍 Like this video if you found it helpful 💬 Drop a comment: What’s your biggest takeaway? 📢 Share this episode with someone who would benefit 🔔 Subscribe & turn on notifications for weekly coaching content
