In the competitive world of real estate, standing out requires not just skill and knowledge but also an unyielding spirit and the ability to innovate. In this Episode of FIRED UP Podcast, me and my real estate buddy Gogo Bethke, share our journey from modest beginnings to becoming powerhouses in the real estate industry. In this candid conversation, we dive into the innovative marketing strategies that set us apart, the importance of diversifying income streams for long-term success, and the life-changing power of making bold decisions. Our paths, though unique, share common threads of resilience and determination. Starting with next to nothing, Gogo and I built our careers on the foundation of hard work and a vision for something greater. From attending Tony Robbins' masterminds to pushing past our comfort zones, we've both embraced growth and learning at every turn. One of the pivotal moments in our careers was the decision to innovate in how we market ourselves and our properties. Recognizing the power of social media early on, we leveraged platforms like Facebook to connect with clients in a more personal and engaging way. This approach wasn't just about selling houses; it was about building trust and establishing a brand that resonates with today's digital-savvy clients. Diversifying our income was another game-changer. Moving beyond traditional sales, we explored other avenues within the industry, from building teams to joining forward-thinking organizations like eXp Realty. This not only amplified our earnings but also allowed us to impact the industry on a larger scale. Our conversation also touched on the invaluable role of self-education and the willingness to adapt. Rejecting traditional paths that often lead to substantial debt, we chose to learn through experience, mentors, and the vast resources available online. This self-driven approach to education has been instrumental in staying ahead in a fast-evolving industry. Making strategic decisions, even when they're tough, has been a cornerstone of our success. Whether it's choosing to embrace a new technology, diversifying income streams, or making a career pivot, we've learned the importance of being bold and decisive. As we wrapped up our conversation, we reflected on the impact of our journeys not just on our careers but on our personal lives as well. The real estate industry has taught us invaluable lessons about resilience, adaptability, and the importance of building genuine connections. For those aspiring to make their mark in real estate or any field, our message is clear: embrace innovation, diversify your strategies, commit to lifelong learning, and above all, be bold in your decisions. The path to success is paved with challenges, but with the right mindset and approach, it's a journey well worth taking. #realestate #innovation #resilience #success #entrepreneur #business #investment #property #development #growth #realtor #realestateagent #motivation #leadership #realtorlife #realestateinvesting #inspiration #architecture #realestategoals #luxuryrealestate 📱 Follow Gogo Bethke 📱 👉🏼 Website: https://www.gogobethke.com/ 👉🏼 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile?id=100063732442267 👉🏼 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gogosrealestate/ 👉🏼 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/GogoBethke  ----------------------------------------------------------- 📚Join my next Unstoppable Agent Masterclass📚 https://kristamashore.com/unstoppable-youtube 📱Follow Krista Mashore 📱 👉🏼Website: https://www.KristaMashore.com 👉🏼Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristamashore 👉🏼Instagram: http://instagram.com/kristamashore 🔴Subscribe to this channel🔴 http://bit.ly/303HZV2 🎧Listen to my podcast🎧 https://fire.kristamashore.com/podcast #newrealtortips #realestateagenttraining #realestatemarketingideas
