“If you want to be truly successful invest in yourself to get the knowledge you need to find your unique factor. When you find it and focus on it and persevere your success will blossom.” – Sidney Madwed
In the Productivity Nugget, I share why I’m at the Sea-tac airport heading to Phoenix.
Reason #1 Family
My parents bought a home in the Phoenix area awhile ago, so I’m looking forward to seeing their new home and playing golf with my dad. I haven’t seen him since we took our trip to Ireland.
Reason #2 RE BarCamp Phoenix
I’m looking forward to meeting IRL some people I’ve connected with online. I’m excited to share some things I’ve learned about video blogging and also look forward to learning about video from others and other topics.
All the other reasons
I’m investing in my business. I’m looking forward to talking to some agents I know and brokerages about the vision they have for their business and my services. The opportunity to have this conversation face to face will help us both identify if we would be a good match for each other.
How are you investing in your real estate business?
There are many reasons to cut expenses. Be careful not to cut the muscle while you are cutting the fat though. Investing in your real estate business and yourself are key factors to you staying in this game. Especially in this market and this new technological age we are in. You can’t afford to fall behind. You can’t afford not to invest in yourself or your business.
The question is not are you going to invest. The question is “What are you going to invest in?”

"If you aren't getting Darin's daily email, you are missing out." -- Chris Smith, Inman News Chief Evangelist
I wanted to start to build a team and with Darin's coaching I have added 2 full
time buyers agents and a virtual assistant. We are getting so organized
and now I am able to prospect for listings like I should have been doing
before.
Darin is a KICK ASS coach, motivator and a genius. Yes, he has a mind that is incredible.
I feel that Darin is vested in my success both personally and professionally. He is a dear friend and I am excited we are now partners.

“Have I told you lately that you’re the greatest thing since sliced cheese? And that at least every other day Matt and I tell each other out loud about how grateful we are to have found you?
You’re a true blessing and are helping us like no other coach to make impactful changes within our business, at a pace that makes sense. And you ‘GET’ technology, too! Coach D, you’re a dream come true. “

"I have been working with Darin for 10 weeks now, I was looking for a way to take my business to another level going into my second full year of real estate. I closed 32 deals in 2011 and so far with the help, guidance and motivation I am on pace to double my transactions in 2012. The most exciting part about working with Darin is I am able to increase my production without adding hours to my week, Darin has taught me how to leverage my time and use it more efficiently.
