    How to Build a $200K Monthly Real Estate Business by Removing Emotions from Operations with Marshal Nathe

    Most real estate agents operate like emotional teenagers—prospecting when they feel motivated, avoiding calls when they're scared, and making excuses when the market gets tough. But what if there was a way to remove your feelings from your business operations entirely? In this episode, my business partner EK sits down with Marshal Nathe, a 7-year real estate veteran who just crushed a $200,000 monthly revenue by building what he calls "feeling-proof" systems. Marshal doesn't just talk about consistency—he's engineered his entire operation to function regardless of his emotional state, market conditions, or external circumstances. Key Themes and Takeaways: Why your schedule should be sacred, not suggestions—and how to operate when you don't feel like it The mathematics of systematic leverage: how Marshal's ISAs generate predictable results through precise activity tracking Why Marshal chose to burn down his successful solo operation to rebuild something exponentially bigger The spiritual component of high performance: demanding success from the universe while backing it up with relentless action Partnership multiplication: how two horses pulling together can move 34,000 pounds instead of 20,000 Building capacity by operating beyond your comfort zone until discomfort becomes your new normal The Bottom Line: Your competition is managing their feelings while you could be managing your results. Marshal's approach proves that systematic success doesn't depend on motivation, market conditions, or perfect circumstances—it depends on engineering operations that produce results regardless of how you feel about it.

    How Top Real Estate Leaders Build Teams That Actually Scale

    Think building a real estate team is just about hiring more agents? Think again. After 18 years of scaling teams and surviving every market condition, I'm breaking down the brutal truth about why most teams become expensive disasters instead of profit centers. This isn't another "rah-rah, build your empire" conversation. This is the real talk about what it actually takes to transition from solo producer to team leader—and why most agents aren't ready for what that really means. In this episode, you'll discover the one skill that separates thriving teams from costly mistakes, why treating hiring like an "event" instead of a process will sabotage everything you build, and the mindset shift that changed how I approach business growth entirely. Key Topics Covered: • Why most agents build teams for the wrong reasons (and how to know if you're ready) • The fatal flaw that kills teams before they start • How to set real standards vs. hopeful aspirations • The hiring process that actually works (and why you need more reps) • Why personal growth isn't optional for team leaders • The business-first relationship model that creates lasting loyalty • How market conditions expose weak team foundations Key Takeaways: • Recruiting is a process, not an event—you need interview reps like you need sales reps • Real standards focus on controllable activities, not outcomes like closings • Your team's ceiling is your ceiling—personal growth isn't negotiable • People will only stay as long as they see you as a vehicle for their success Whether you're thinking about building your first team or struggling to scale your current operation, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about leadership in real estate. Ready to stop guessing and start building teams that actually work? The strategies in this episode have been tested through multiple market cycles and can save you years of expensive mistakes.

    How to Break Free From the Real Estate Transaction Treadmill and Build Stress-Free Wealth (Even With Wildly Inconsistent Income)

    Making $400K a year but can't afford eXpCon? You're not alone, and financial coach Matt Plumer explains exactly why this happens to so many high-earning real estate agents. In this eye-opening conversation, Matt breaks down the "transaction treadmill" that keeps agents constantly chasing the next deal to fund their lifestyle instead of building real wealth. He shares his complete financial transformation system that's helped hundreds of agents flip the script from Sales - Expenses = Profit to Sales - Profit = Expenses. Matt's approach isn't just about budgeting better. It's about fundamentally rewiring how money flows through your business so you can pay yourself first, automate tax savings, and force your business to operate efficiently on what remains. He reveals why financial disorganization (not just inconsistent income) is causing the stress that's killing your dreams. Key Topics Covered: • Why the traditional accounting formula keeps agents broke despite big commission checks • The 5-account Profit First system that forces immediate profitability • How to "age your money" by setting aside funds for specific future goals • The real math behind financial freedom (spoiler: it's not just earning more) • Matt's personal transformation from 300 pounds and addicted to helping agents nationwide • Why most agents confuse cash flow with wealth building • The "Australia Test" - how knowing your exact goal changes everything about lead generation • How to create a "freedom spending plan" that works with entrepreneurial income • The difference between adults who plan and children who react to money This conversation will challenge everything you think you know about money management for real estate professionals. Matt doesn't just identify the problems - he provides the complete system to fix them. Ready to get off the transaction treadmill and start building wealth that works while you sleep?

    What Happens When You Run Your Real Estate Team Like an NBA Championship Squad

    What separates agents who build empires from those who stay trapped in solo success? Nashville powerhouse Erin Krueger went from selling 300+ homes as a solo agent to leading a team that's generated over $2.5 billion in sales. The difference wasn't luck, market timing, or connections—it was the courage to implement championship-level standards that most team leaders would never dare enforce. In this episode, Erin reveals the brutal truth about why most real estate teams fail and shares the specific systems, hiring processes, and cultural standards that transformed her from a burned-out solo operator into one of Tennessee's most successful team leaders.

    Real Estate Agent Personal Branding: How to Stop Hiding Behind Your Brokerage and Build an Unstoppable Identity That Follows You Anywhere

    Ever wonder why some agents thrive no matter what the market throws at them while others struggle to stay afloat? The secret isn't in their lead generation or closing techniques—it's in something most agents completely ignore: building a personal brand so strong it works harder than any market condition. In this game-changing episode, my business partner Katie DeWitt sits down with marketing powerhouse Carly Pederson to expose the personal branding strategies that separate next-level agents from the pack. Carly isn't just talking theory—she's living proof, selling more homes in today's challenging market than she did during the 2020 boom. Key Topics Covered: • The "Realtor + AND" formula that makes you instantly memorable in a crowded market • Why 99% of your clients don't know (or care) what brokerage you're with—and what this means for your career • The psychology behind choosing brand colors that attract your ideal clients (spoiler: it's not about what looks pretty) • How to build a personal brand that survives brokerage changes, market shifts, and industry disruption • The consistency factor that creates trust and recognition across every platform • Why your personal brand is your best recession insurance and client attraction system • The relationship-building secrets that generate referrals from people who've never met you This isn't about vanity or ego—it's about survival and success in an industry where being forgettable means being replaceable. While most agents hide behind corporate templates and wonder why their phones aren't ringing, the next-level performers are building personal empires that no market condition can touch. The Bottom Line If you're ready to stop being a commodity and start being a category of one, this episode gives you the exact blueprint to make it happen. Your market is waiting for an agent bold enough to stand out. The only question is: will that agent be you? Please leave us a review at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ratethispodcast.com/nla

    You know what works. The phone calls, the follow-up systems, the prospecting schedules that successful agents swear by. So why don't you do them? In this raw and honest solo episode, Kevin breaks down the psychology behind self-sabotage using insights from his business partner Chris Suarez.

Ready to stop being your own biggest obstacle? This episode will challenge you to recognize which barriers are running your show and commit to breaking through them. The proven models are there. The question is: are you ready to follow them? Listen now and then take action - identify which of the 10 barriers resonates most with you and make the decision to choose differently.
