One of the many valuable discussions in this episode is when Adam, Jeff, and Kaylen break down the difference between Curiosity and Judgement and how this can make a difference in our personal and professional life.  Adam references Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Appreciate People, and reminds us how small acts of kindness can go a long way.  He says, “Share some love.  It costs you nothing, and you never run out of it.” In the business of real estate, things can sometimes be overwhelming and stressful.  Tune in to find out what Adam shares about Colonel John Boyd's OODA Loop.  This is a great tool to have in our toolbox. A highlight is when Kaylen references Chapter 3 of Adam's book.  He explains who or what ‘the Beast' is he refers to and tells us how we can have a party with it! Adam and Jeff give some key points at the end of the episode on how we can reset for 2022 and think positive!  Thank you Adam for coming on the show, for sharing your knowledge and insight that can help us all “Start with a Win!”  Connect with Adam Cantos: https://www.startwithawin.com/ https://www.facebook.com/REMAXAdamContos https://twitter.com/REMAXAdamContos https://www.instagram.com/REMAXadamcontos/ Connect with Jeff Krantz: Ig: @krantzandassociates fb: @krantzandassociatesRE/MAXlakeoftheozarks https://www.krantzproperties.com
