“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?

- Julia Fishel
"We closed 80 transactions in 2009, started coaching with Darin in 2010, and ended the year with 124 closed transactions." - Incorvaia Team
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.

"Of the 20 years I've spent in real estate, I've never received the type of training and coaching that truly engages my clients in the way that creates results I was looking for. Darin's strategies are simple, powerful, inexpensive & most of all, productive beyond my expectations." - Stacey McVey 
“Since coaching with Darin, I got refocused and reconnected to my sphere. In the last 40 days I have made $53,000. Just took two new listings and I’m having fun again in business.” – Kris Cantrell
"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. If you are serious about taking your real estate career to a new level, it is a MUST to start working with Darin Persinger as soon as you possibly can." - Ryan Shields
We have now officially written 35% of last years business, in the first 2 months of 2012. We are on track for 50% of last years business by the end of this month, February. - Chuck & Christina Ethridge
I am the owner of a very young company that was growing faster than I was ready for. I had a head FULL of wonderful ideas and I had a vision. I found myself not being able to accomplish many of my goals, due to the lack of focus. I was jumping from one project to another, while completing none of them. I WAS the shiny object chaser. Thanks to Darin, I don't see shiny objects any longer...I have my eye on the one thing that counts...what works for me and what is best for MY company.
I made the commitment to coaching the moment I knew I could trust Darin. I felt like I needed someone that had been in the trenches and continued to educate themselves. I found all of that in Darin. - Elizabeth Cooper-Golden
"Levels is working great! It's really helping me stay very organized and scheduled. I just listed a house today, I'm doing another listing presentation tomorrow, I did showings Sunday and last night. I should be listing another property this week and a possible offer on a property." - Sonia Lyonnais
"In only 8 weeks, I've increased my bottom line by 27%." - Jonathan Rivera aka Real-Tech Guy of Official Real Estate Referral Group
"When this program had started, I had only 4 deals closed for the entire year. Since starting in Levels, I have added 3 listings, wrote 7 offers and will have closed 3 deals." - Rich Ganim
You can waste 10 minutes or you can make 10 minutes productive. Time management is a myth and yet you try. And chances are you’re failing. If you hear yourself saying things like this,
“I don’t have time for….
“I HAVE to…..
“I NEED to…
“You can do so much in 10 minutes time. Ten minutes, once gone, are gone for good. Divide your life into 10-minute units and sacrifice as few of them as possible in meaningless activity.” – Ingvar Kamprad, Founder of the furniture brand IKEA
The best way to become more productive and get the most out of time management is to focus on the essential and eliminate distractions. I know that is more difficult then ever. To eliminate distractions. There is so much coming at you, Chris Brogan calls it BLUR. And he is not referring to the band BLUR and Song 2, which as a side note is a great song to get you fired up.
Eliminate blur. Stop multitasking. Stop allowing everything in, if that’s not helping. – Chris Brogan
Eliminate Distractions
I ask people on twitter often how many browser windows do you have open and applications right now? Look at your own monitor.
How many things do you have open at once right now?
How can you possible focus on the essential when you have all those distractions sitting right in front of you?
- Eliminate distractions by closing down tweetdeck or hootsuite.
- Eliminate distractions by closing facebook.
- Eliminate distractions by closing your email.
Scott Stratten, of Un-Marketing.com had this tweet,
Scott knows he can control 95% of his distractions. Do you? Do you know that and still not control those distractions?
I have a feeling that you read a book somewhere or went to a training class that taught you to TIME BLOCK. The problem with time blocking is most of us can’t focus for the amount of time we are blocking. Usually an hour or two or more!
So, when you are starting to lose focus during the time block period of focus, a shiny object enters your world. That shiny object can be in disguise of an email, a phone call, a text message, an empty cup of coffee, etc. You chase after the shiny object, losing your focus.There is nothing wrong with admitting that you can’t hold focus for an hour.
How To Keep Focus For Longer Periods Of Time
Stop trying. Stop trying to keep focus for longer periods of time. You can’t focus for an hour. I’m giving you permission to stop beating yourself up over it. The same trainers and speakers that are telling the importance of time blocking are the same ones that do Train the Trainer courses telling us Trainers, “Change the style and methodology of your training every 9 minutes because your class will lose focus.”
No duh! So why are we telling people to time block for huge chunks of time and making them feel bad when they fail at doing that. If you are interested in learning how to become more productive and keep your focus check out my 7 Steps to Keeping Your Focus.
You really can do so much in 10 minutes. What will you do with your next 10 minutes?
