    James Becker on building a sphere-based business model and navigating the valley of despair

    James Becker on building a sphere-based business model and navigating the valley of despair In this episode of the RealTrending Podcast, host Tracey Velt speaks with James Becker, founder of Fusion, a company  that helps real estate agents grow their businesses. Becker shares how he developed a program at his brokerage to provide comprehensive support to agents, allowing them to focus on their core business while he and his team handled the operational aspects.  He’s left the brokerage world and continued to hone his growth program. Becker discusses the concept of the 'valley of despair' that agents often face when starting new initiatives, highlighting the need for persistence and the willingness to learn from failures to achieve long-term success. The conversation delves into the critical role of building relationships over chasing leads, advocating for a sphere-based business model. Becker stresses that agents should focus on nurturing their networks and developing genuine connections, which can lead to sustainable success.  Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: You have to put yourself out there and take risks. The valley of despair is where many agents quit too soon. Relationships are built over a long period of time and lost in an instant. You must be the CEO of your own business. If you want to be better, you must be held accountable. Caring for your clients is the key to success. Focus on nurturing relationships, not just chasing leads. Every agent goes through a cycle of uninformed optimism to informed pessimism. You have to measure your time and energy to see where it's going. The number one fundamental is to become the agent you would hire yourself.
