    Marketing Before Admin – The First Hire That Changed Everything with Kim and Cody LeClair

    Ready to reclaim 10 hours a week in the next 90 days (while still growing your business)? The first step is to take our Resource Review. You can download your free copy along with our video training by following the link below:  📥 Get Your Resource Review Workbook + Video Training 🔹 Episode Summary: When most REALTORS® think about hiring help, they imagine a classic admin assistant—someone to manage the inbox, book showings, and keep the paperwork moving. But what if your first hire wasn’t about staying organized… and instead, was about building momentum? In Episode 011 of Breakthrough with Coach B, I sit down with real estate duo Kim and Cody LeClair, a mother-son team from RE/MAX in Sturgeon County, Alberta, who flipped the hiring script—and saw real results. After years of doing everything themselves (and doing it well), they didn’t bring on an assistant. They hired a marketing manager—and that one decision brought their database back to life, reactivated old referrals, and gave them breathing room in their business. We talk about what held them back from hiring for so long, what finally tipped the scales, and how doing things out of order turned out to be exactly the right move. 🔹 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:  ✅ How a marketing-first hire reactivated their referral pipeline  ✅ What hiring “small” actually looks like (spoiler: it’s not 40 hours a week)  ✅ How the LeClairs used tools + trust to delegate without micromanaging  ✅ The difference between staying busy and building momentum  ✅ Why outsourcing marketing helped them look—and feel—more professional 🔹 Bumper Sticker Worthy Quotes:  💡 “You can do it until you can’t—then you’re running behind.” – Cody LeClair  💡 “Momentum can cut both ways, but it’s sure nice when it’s pushing you in the right direction.” – Braden Wheatcroft  💡 “Your first hire doesn’t have to be forever or full time.” – Braden Wheatcroft  💡 “We picked the area we were failing at [to delegate]—and it wasn’t admin, it was marketing.” – Cody LeClair 🔹 Resources & Free Downloads:  📚 Who by Geoff Smart – a great read for smarter hiring decisions 🛠️ Tools the LeClairs use to manage their team: – Hippo Video – for screen-share instructions that scale – Exact – for tracking timelines and project flow 💡 Learn more about the Lifetime Referral System at Richard Robbins International 🔹 Next Steps: ✅ Ask yourself: Is admin really the area that’s holding me back? ✅ Make a short list of tasks you avoid or consistently leave undone ✅ Consider hiring part-time, project-based, or even from within your personal network ✅ Use screen recordings to teach once, trust often 🔹 Connect with Us:  🌎 Website: BradenWheatcroft.com 📱 Instagram: @bradenwheatcroft 📩 Email: braden@bradenwheatcroft.com

    Gift Giving That Actually Grows Your Business with Vonny Fast

    🔹 Episode Summary: Let’s be real—most closing gifts are an afterthought. A frantic trip to HomeSense or a generic gift card that screams panic purchase. But what if gifting wasn’t just a nice gesture at the end of a deal? What if it was a scalable, strategic, and dare we say—profitable—way to grow your business? In Episode 010 of Breakthrough with Coach B, I sit down with Vonny Fast, a 28-year Cutco veteran who has turned intentional gifting into a referral-generating machine. She shares about the business of relationships, the power of intentional gifting, and why learning to let go might be the thing that helps you scale your business. Vonny started like a lot of us—grinding for leads, winging it without a database, and just trying to keep up. But somewhere along the way, she made a shift: from hustle mode to systems thinking. You can too. 🔹 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:  ✅ Why what got you here might not get you to the next level ✅ The difference between 2x and 10x thinking (and why it matters) ✅ What “practical luxury” means—and why it blows gift cards out of the water ✅ How to build a client journey that actually builds loyalty  ✅ When to automate, when to personalize, and how to stop being the bottleneck 🔹 Bumper Sticker Worthy Quotes:  💡 “Giving starts the receiving process.” – Richard Robbins  💡 “Gifts for centuries have been a vehicle to show the value we place on a relationship.” – Vonny  💡 “Impactful doesn’t need to be epic.” – Vonny  💡 “Done is better than perfect.” – Braden 🔹 Resources & Free Downloads:  📚 Learn more about Vonny and Cutco’s gifting program  📚 Read the blog post How to Use Gifting as a Business Growth Strategy (Without Overthinking It) 🔹 Next Steps:  ✅ Sketch out your client gifting touchpoints (hint: don’t stop at closing)  ✅ Pick 1 or 2 “practical luxury” items to have on hand  ✅ Create a simple system—or better yet, delegate one  ✅ Remember: gifting is about connection, not perfection 🔹 Connect with Us:  🌎 Website: BradenWheatcroft.com 📱 Instagram: @bradenwheatcroft 📩 Email: braden@bradenwheatcroft.com

    How to Build a Lifestyle-Based Business (workshop audio)

    This week’s Breakthrough episode is a little different: I’m sharing the keynote I delivered at the 2025 RE/MAX Canada Young Leaders Network Conference in St. John’s, Newfoundland—a talk that’s as raw as it is real. It’s called Building a Lifestyle-Based Business, but it could just as easily be called How to Keep Going When You’re Burnt Out, Tapped Out, and Questioning Everything. I open up about my own mental health struggles—panic attacks, anxiety, depression—and what it means to be a “depressed motivational speaker” in a business that often rewards overwork and performance over well-being. If you’ve ever looked at a top producer and thought, I want their numbers but not their life, this one’s for you. 🔹 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why 9 out of 10 REALTORS® are secretly struggling  ✅ How to set financial goals that actually support your lifestyle  ✅ Why “balance” isn’t something you find—it’s something you do ✅ How to calculate your Effective Hourly Rate (and why it should guide your calendar) ✅ The 4 productivity zones: Swamp, Campfire, Climb, and Summit ✅ A simple exercise to get 10 hours a week back—without your business missing a beat 🔹 Bumper Sticker Worthy Quotes: 💡 “Balance as a noun is make believe. Balancing as a verb is achievable.” – Braden Wheatcroft  💡 “What good is a map if you don’t know where you are?” – Braden Wheatcroft (on goal setting)  💡 “Awards and recognition are a pat on the back on the way to what matters.” – Braden Wheatcroft  💡 “You need to let go to grow.” – Braden Wheatcroft 🔹 Resources & Free Downloads: 📚 Try the Life in 100 Dots & Wheel of Life exercises from the keynote 🧮 Use the Resource Review to calculate your Effective Hourly Rate 🤖 Access the custom GPT link to walk through your business/lifestyle math 🎓 Join the On Demand Academy for full access to Braden’s tools & trainings 🔹 Next Steps: Or rather, first steps… ✅ Audit your calendar: What gave you energy? What drained you? What paid you?  ✅ Write down everything you did last week—and assign a dollar-per-hour value  ✅ Revisit your financial goals through the lens of the lifestyle you want  ✅ Start eliminating low-impact, low-energy tasks (your “swamp”)  ✅ Shift your time toward your “summit” zone: high-impact, high-energy work 🔹 Connect with Us:🌎 Website: BradenWheatcroft.com 📱 Instagram: @bradenwheatcroft 📩 Email: braden@bradenwheatcroft.com

    How to Actually Make Real Estate Ads Work with Andrew Fogliato

    Let’s face it—most REALTORS® dabble in digital ads without ever seeing consistent results. This week on Breakthrough with Coach B, I’m joined by Andrew Fogliato, founder of Just Sell Homes, to unpack why that is... and what to do about it. Andrew doesn’t sugarcoat it: if 100 agents are running ads right now, maybe one is doing it well. The difference? Strategy, systems, and knowing how to manage a lead once it comes in. We get into the nitty-gritty of ad spend, lead handling, performance vs. brand marketing, and why throwing $500 at Facebook just isn’t going to cut it anymore. Whether you’re new to digital ads or ready to stop wasting money on boosted posts that go nowhere, this conversation will give you the clarity and confidence to invest wisely—and convert consistently. 🔹 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why most REALTORS® fail with Facebook ads ✅ What needs to be in place before you ever run a campaign ✅ Why boosting posts is a total waste of money (with one exception) ✅ The one question you must know the answer to before you scale: What’s your spend per transaction? ✅ Pro tips to stretch your ad budget (and avoid the 30% mobile tax!) 🔹 Bumper Sticker Worthy Quotes: 💡 “You don’t need crazy complicated lead magnets, you need the right message in front of the right person at the right time.” – Andrew Fogliato 💡 “If you don’t have a defined niche, you’re leaving money on the table.” – Andrew Fogliato 💡 “If you don’t pay, you don’t pay attention.” – Braden Wheatcroft 🔹 Resources & Free Downloads: 📚 Check out Andrew’s workshops at justsellhomes.com/workshops 📖 Read his latest marketing insights on REM 📲 Follow @andrewfogliato on Instagram for practical tips that actually work 🔹 Next Steps: ✅ Before running ads, map out your lead follow-up system—seriously  ✅ Audit your current ad spend and ask: what’s my ROI per transaction?  ✅ Subscribe to Breakthrough with Coach B for more no-fluff business strategies 🔹 Connect with Us: 🌎 Website: BradenWheatcroft.com 📱 Instagram: @bradenwheatcroft 📩 Email: braden@bradenwheatcroft.com
