Run Your Business Like A Business

In this episode, Nate asks the question “who, not how” and addresses ways to balance business and personal life. He discusses some pain points a Real Estate Agent may experience when they attempt to tackle most components of their business solo. 

Nate talks about the sacrifices a Real Estate Agent makes and the impact they have on quality of life, relationships, and business operations. He explains why relinquishing control and building a like-minded Team are a part of the (rOS)™ Road Map - and how the People Pillar creates an incredible business with personal freedom.

In this episode, Nate discusses some general business issues that Real Estate Agents face.  The goal when identifying business issues here is to pinpoint areas of friction in your business, that are preventing you from getting wherever it is you are set out to go. Linking business issues to your Big Rocks and Quarterly Rocks, keeps you narrowly focused on your business priorities and action items that need your more immediate attention.

In this episode, Nate breaks down the (rOS)™ model to explain Rocks.  

Rocks are big picture tasks, projects, and goals, that you are looking to tackle and accomplish.  These Rocks are then taken and broken down into Quarterly-Rocks that are attainable goals that are measurable.  Accountability then becomes the work, rather than the daily to-do list. 

Nate then mentions the importance of limiting distractions, strategically prioritizing, and creating efficiencies. Implementing this mind-shift of a long-term vision, that you break down to 10-Years, then to 3-Years, and then into Quarterly rocks, allows you to achieve more and live a well-balanced life.

In this episode, Nate discusses the One-Year Plan and the magic of the (rOS)™ Road Map. He breaks down the difference between thinking of things you want to do and actually achieving your goals. Nate explains why writing your goals and having a clear Road Map takes you to a higher level of thinking with focused and purposeful action - that delivers results.
