The Brutal Question Every Agent Needs to Ask Right Now w/ Dusty Oglesby | Episode 119

Real Producers

For the first time in a long time, the market’s so challenging, even top producers who’ve never struggled before are at a loss.

For years, we were on an upward trajectory. Huge results with little effort, buyers and sellers blowing up your phone, and deals seemingly falling out of the sky.

Now? Houses aren’t moving, homeowners don’t want to move, and buyers aren’t buying.

But before you start blaming the market for your results (or lack thereof), could something else be at play? Did you get so accustomed to success that you started slacking on the activities that led you to success?

Many top producers have. They are struggling because they got complacent.

But this is no longer a market that rewards talent, shiny objects, or just winging it. This is a market that rewards effort and consistency. A market that rewards boredom.

How do you know you’re not putting enough work into your business? What question should we ask ourselves when we aren’t getting the results we want?

In this episode, I’m joined by the founder of DEFINED Coaching, Dusty Oglesby.

He breaks down the hard questions every agent needs to ask themselves, and how to train yourself to thrive in a market that demands more.

You will perform at your level of preparation. You can’t just fly by anymore because you’re talented. -Dusty Oglesby

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

• Would you pay you? It’s easy to trick ourselves into thinking we’re working hard. How can we tell that we’re slacking off?
• Proof > promise In today’s skeptical market, promises aren’t enough. Why do we need to prove our value through past results? How do we make our success visible to the people who matter?
• Effort is the equalizer Talent got you this far, but now it’s effort that separates the thriving from the fading. What does it really take to outwork your excuses and reclaim momentum?
• Boring wins The agents who are still standing are the ones doing the boring stuff every single day. Are you doing the same?
