We've ALL been there—scrolling through social media, seeing everyone else's wins, and thinking, "Why them and not me?"

In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, we're tackling the comparison trap that's secretly sabotaging your confidence and goals. Instead of letting comparison burn you out, we'll show you exactly how to transform it into your greatest tool for creating success in your real estate business.

In this episode, you'll learn:

✅ Why comparing your Chapter 4 to someone else's Chapter 25 crushes your motivation (and how to fix it).

✅ The Warren Buffett investment lesson that will totally shift your perspective on comparison.

✅ How to leverage gratitude as your ultimate antidote to negative comparison (this one's a game-changer).

✅ Why surrounding yourself with people who are "better" than you is actually the secret sauce for faster growth.

✅ The ONLY comparison that genuinely matters for your personal and professional success.

Comparing your behind-the-scenes struggles to everyone else's highlight reel is so common - being on social media makes it challenging not to! But when you discover how to flip comparison from a destructive habit into a powerful growth strategy, everything will change!

Whether you're in real estate, entrepreneurship, or simply leveling up your personal life, this episode will help you break free from comparison anxiety and use it to accelerate your growth.

Ready to turn your greatest mental enemy into your secret weapon? Let's dive in.

Frustrated because your listings just sit there while everything else sells? Tired of watching your buyers get crushed offer after offer?

Facts: The market has shifted, and most agents are still playing by the old rules.

Reasonable offers are being rejected and some great listings are sitting with no action.

In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, we share what's really happening out there right now.

Spoiler alert: both buyers AND sellers are ready to deal—but only if you know how to read the game.

Here's what we get into:

• Why "list price minus $25K" stopped working (and what works instead)
• How to turn rejection into negotiation every single time
• The coaching approach that gets deals done in any market
• Real examples from agents crushing it right now

Learn to think like a strategist, and watch your close rate skyrocket.

Most people think you need to be an extrovert to succeed in real estate. The truth? Introverts actually have a massive advantage in building a successful real estate business, and it's time to own it.

In this episode, Matt and Garrett reveal why your natural introvert traits are actually superpowers in real estate. The secret isn't forcing yourself to network with hundreds of people or making endless small talk—it's about leveraging what you already do best.

Key takeaways:

• The "High Trust, Low Volume" business model that plays to introvert strengths
• Why most top producers actually have small core circles (not massive networks)
• How to systematize client connections without burning out
• The difference between chit chat and soul-level relationships that drive referrals
• How to find your ideal environment for authentic relationship building

Stop trying to be someone you're not. Your introvert superpowers—deep relationships, genuine connections, and quality over quantity—are exactly what today's clients are craving.

You know you should be more consistent, but how exactly?

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes systems that help real estate professionals and business owners grow faster—with less stress.

This is about more than checklists—it’s about crafting Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that bring clarity, save time, and unlock scale.

We get into

• Why most agents drop the ball on consistency
• How to build SOPs you’ll actually use
• A dead-simple framework to delegate without the chaos
• The role AI plays in creating next-level business systems
• How SOPs give you freedom—not friction

Whether you’re a solo agent or scaling a team, this episode will help you stop winging it and start building a business that works even when you’re off the clock.

🎯 Less burnout. More predictability. Faster growth. That’s the SOP advantage.

We should start by warning you, this might have you rethinking things.

In this episode, Matt and Garrett dive deep into a 15-minute short film called "Full Time" that completely shifted their perspective mid-recording.

In fact, they had such a major epiphany about what this film was really saying that they scrapped their entire first recording and started over.

Fair warning, they give away the entire film during their discussion. To get the full effect - which you want! - we recommend you watch it for yourself here, before you listen to the conversation. : https://vimeo.com/groups/storytellers/videos/903723252

This isn't just about employee vs. entrepreneur - it goes much deeper.

The film explores the hidden costs of staying in your comfort zone, the boxes we create for ourselves, and what happens when we trade our autonomy for the security of a paycheck. Whether you're building your own business or working for someone else, this conversation will challenge you to examine: Are you serving your mission, or just serving the system?

In this episode, we get into why copying successful agents is actually sabotaging your business—and what top producers do instead.

"Emulate the greats" sounds like a great strategy, until it's not!

What's inside this episode:

• Why 99% of agents who copy others stay stuck in second place
• The "model and modify" strategy that actually works
• How self-awareness becomes your biggest competitive advantage
• Why the most successful agents give away all their "secrets"
• The Simon Sinek exercise that reveals your authentic power

The truth? Nobody can compete with you being YOU. But first, you need to know who that is.

Stop playing someone else's game. It's time to build a business that's authentically yours.
