Takeaways:
Passion for your work is crucial. If you're genuinely interested in what you do, it shows, and it makes your job easier and more enjoyable. This passion is also what helps you persevere through challenges.
Success often comes from doing simple things repeatedly. You don’t need complicated strategies; just consistently meet the basic needs of your clients.
It's essential to know the unique needs and challenges of builders. This includes understanding the importance of timely funding, project timelines, and the specifics of new construction. This knowledge allows you to provide better service and build stronger relationships.
Finding mentors or successful professionals in your niche is invaluable. Learning from their experiences and mistakes can save you time and help you achieve success faster. Apprenticeships and coaching can provide practical insights and guidance.
Quotes:
"If you try to fake being passionate about something, it never works. It never, ever, ever worked. Maybe short time, but the saying fake it till you make it in this sense just doesn't work."
"A lot of it's very simple, but simple often times isn't what's exciting for people that are wired like we are. We get attracted to complexity and attracted to shiny."
"Becoming excellent at understanding what builders need is when the magic happens."
"It literally is simple repetition, never coming off or down off that wall. And just literally, I hate to use grinding it out, because I don't ever feel like I'm grinding. I just love what I do."
