So many agents get caught on the, they get caught on the commission hamster wheel, right? Where it's like they make a bunch of money and they don't do any work and then, yay, I'm rich. I'm rich. Oh no, I'm broke. I'm broke, I'm broke, I'm broke. It's, it's the roller coaster up and down. And if you can just work consistently in the business and put forth the right effort in the same, the right amount of effort compared to what the market is doing in your KPI's balance, well, now you have a steady stream of income and, and then you can turn those commissions instead of the end goal into the fuel that really fires the rocket ship. From the podcast that gets you from where you are to where you want to be Escaping the Drift, this is the Weekly Drop with John Gafford. No matter what platform you're watching or listening to us on, make sure you, like, subscribe and comment. And now the Drop. Welcome back to the program, everybody. This is the Weekly Drop. This is normally my little solo pod that I do on Thursdays, and this week, man, I'm doing it with somebody. I got a guest on the Weekly Drop, so I'm not doing a full Escaping the Drift. We're not going to go for 40 minutes. This is still going to be like 15 minutes. But there's something that I want to talk about that this dude is kind of the walking, talking example of this, and I wanted to bring him in. And if you're somebody that finds yourself burning the candle at both ends, you've got all kinds of things that you do, all kinds of stuff. There's an exercise that I do once a year and I just went through this and I didn't really sleep last night. Not because I was still doing the exercise, just because when I get done doing this, it's such an introspect at your life and it's such a way that you, you have, you're forced to go deep on looking at the things that you choose to do and whether or not they continue to serve you in the best possible way. And sometimes that requires some very tough choices and some choices that are still, still out there. For me you know, I ran numbers like crazy all day yesterday looking at the expenses I have and things, looking at return on time, how much time I spend on things, and whether or not those things serve me or continue to serve me. And this goes from, I mean, you know, angles in my business. It goes from overall businesses that we spun up, auxiliaries that we spin up, spun up around the company. It's this podcast. It's relationships with groups I go to. It's all types of different things. And if you are somebody that just kind of says yes to everything, which I like to say, yes, I get. I'm easily excitable. Man, that sounds a good idea. Let's do that. I definitely feel like I'm smarter than everybody else, unfortunately. So when I hear somebody being highly successful something, I'm like, if that dude can do it, I know I can do it. I know I can. And. And like I said, we're going to get a little more to my personal journey on it. But. But welcome to the program, ladies and gentlemen. This. This is one of the guys that works at our company, and he is one of. This is Jason Griggs.
