Top Takeaways:  "When you've done it so long, no matter what it is you're doing… you evolve into a place of unconscious competence." - [Jim Walberg] "We're in the relationship business… it's not about Jim… it's about 'how is it that we can build deep and wide long-lasting relationships, and how is it that those relationships can be served?'" - [Jim Walberg] "Today, I look at the Inman group as part of my professional village and my professional family, so for me, it's like going to a family reunion." - [Jim Walberg] "I may be wrong, but I don't believe it's possible to have a successful Real estate practice without an audience and an audience that you're going to be able to serve." - [Jim Walberg] Episode Highlights: [01:07] Intro [01:22] Meets today's guest, Jim Walberg.  [02:02] Jim reflects on his relationship with Nate Ellis, who passed away following an illness.  [04:36] About Jim's background [07:03] How Jim got started in Real Estate [11:30] About Pacific Union - Christie's International Real Estate.  [13:56] Jim talks about his interest in Caribbean Real Estate.

Bill discloses that he is a "Colon cancer thriver," not just a survivor, and Jim is also a "Prostate cancer thriver."  Growing up on Redondo Beach in California allowed enjoying life on the oceanside even though Jim's family was not financially buoyant. After this, Jim moved to California State University Long Beach, initially thinking he would become a high school teacher. He, however, moved to San Francisco to join a friend who was starting a company, which he later owned.  On how Jim got into Real Estate, he discusses initially starting as a spec home builder for personal investment, with massive success due to the growth rate in the Bay Area at the time. His first contact with the real estate space was as a client, but he was utterly unimpressed with the overpromising and under-delivery of agents. With no interest in being a realtor, Jim had also turned down an offer to be a partner at a Real Estate company but was convinced to join solely functioning on the management side. The company started with the name United California Brokers. While working there, he saw an opportunity to create an experience for clients better than the disappointing one he endured. Jim got his broker's license and finally got into Real Estate.  Discussing the structure at Pacific Union - Christie's International Real Estate, Jim shares that Christie's, originally an art auction house, decided to partner with unique Real Estate boutique brokerages in 2009 to take advantage of the benefits of hanging the art in homes. Pacific Union is one of the 132 such partnerships globally, including Asia, Europe, and South America.  Jim shares how he built up interest in Real...

The path to success and fulfilment for an entrepreneur is full of challenges.

He was a working student. He got so intrigued by one of his co-workers, who seems to be happy all the time.  Jim found out that he was excited about a nutrition product and a network market opportunity behind it. He tried to venture into it, and he made enough money. It was then that he realized that he was not really interested in becoming a dentist or a doctor.  At age 20, he worked for Tony Robbins, and he travelled the world teaching and selling information. The Power of a Belief System for an Entrepreneur “If you change your beliefs, you can change your life.”  In understanding your inner game, you get to understand your belief system. You begin to realize that the financial results that you're producing are a byproduct of the beliefs that you have. Your beliefs drive your behaviour. The Impact of the Environment The outer game is also essential, as well as your environment. If you don't do your environments properly, and if you're not doing it by design, then you are doing it by default. Success is a byproduct of the people with which you invest the most time. It is vital to go out of your comfort zone and expand your boundaries. “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” How An Entrepreneur Can Keep His Drive To Succeed It depends on where you are in your life  There are particular challenges that entrepreneurs go through. Surround yourself with people who are a little further down the road to help you overcome those challenges. What Motivates People?  Basic needs Personal needs Wants After achieving all of them, start working on your values or subconscious drivers. Importance of Values For An Entrepreneur They are like an unwritten software that drives your behaviors When you start to identify your values, the aspects of your life shall be aligned, and it shall be like a fuel that never runs out.  You shall always wake up inspired and with high spirits  Your vision, mission, purpose in life shall be aligned. If this happens, your company, your family, and your life will be fulfilling in general.  Learn to say no.  Overcoming the Challenges of Entrepreneurship It's a steep path. You need to step outside your norm and lead, and it comes with a certain set of lessons. The lessons are documented and easy to overcome, but if you don't see them coming, they can catch you. Most entrepreneurs do not go financially bankrupt first. First, they go spiritually bankrupt, and then the finances follow. Challenges are meant to take our level of understanding and awareness to another level. The universe will not give you anything that you cannot handle. The Importance of Purpose and Creating with Value For An Entrepreneur The moment you can figure out your purpose, your life will change for the better Jim stuck to his purpose of helping people change their lives for every challenge that he encountered. If you're not creating money, you are not producing enough value. If you're creating value for people, they exchange it with stored energy or money. Entrepreneurship as Personal Development Entrepreneurship is a path of personal development. You have to fix yourself, your values, and your beliefs. You also need to consider your habits and routines to accomplish your goals. Your business is a byproduct of your lifestyle. Your lifestyle is a byproduct of who you are and how you choose to live. Habit Stacking You can change your keystone habit. Pick one area of your life to focus on. After that, stack your next habit, and so on. You need to develop habits for sustainable success. Quintessential Habits for Success Simplify your success. Understand that it takes time. Look for your benchmarks, those people who were successful, and look into the path that they took to prepare. Understand that fear is a necessity, and panic is deadly. You need to practice, rehearse, and have the right coaches and mentors. Final Notes When he makes a decision, he quits doing other things. Decision-making means to cut away from something. There is no other person in the world having that wave and experience that the universe created just for you. Find your balance. Focus on three things every day: your happiness, your health, and your wealth.   P.S.

Elise’s guest today is Jim Masterson, creator of the Masterson Equine Bodywork — an innovative form of equine massage that allows the horse to release pain and tension in muscles and connective tissue. It’s based on the use of light touch and gentle movement in a relaxed state, as well as careful observation of the horse’s response. It not only helps with a horse’s overall wellness, but it also improves the communication and relationship between a horse and their rider.    Jim has applied his method of equine massage on behalf of the U.S. Equestrian Team’s Endurance Team and for horses competing in FEI World Cup, Pan American, and World Games competitions. He has also worked on equine competitors on the U.S. Hunter-Jumper Show circuit, including top events such as the USEF and Maclay Medal series, and FEI Grand Prix, Nation’s Cup, Pan American, and World Cup jumping events. And Jim has helped members of the USET Singles Driving Team and of the USET Jumping team.    An international clinician, Jim has presented to large crowds of enthusiastic horse owners around the world, including the Equitana Asia Pacific and Equine Affaire equine conventions and Your Horse Live event in the UK.   In this week’s episode, Elise and Jim discuss the Masterson Method in detail and some of the most significant results it brings.

About Guest Jim Linthicum (1:00) Jim Linthicum is the Director of Mobility Management and Project Implementation for SANDAG.  He is heading up a $9 billion dollar capital program with many different transportation programs in it and he has been 40 years in the industry this August. Jim worked for 23 years with Caltrans and has now been with SANDAG for 17 years.   Jim’s Journey to Becoming the Director of Mobility Management at SANDAG (1:50) It’s been a quick 40 years for Jim.  He started at Caltrans working in a construction management position to construction inspector, resident engineer, project manager, and head of construction and now Jim is the head of the capital program at SANDAG.   What Has Made Jim an Effective Leader (2:50)   Construction management and resident engineer skills prepared him well to be a great leader (3:00) When decisions have to be made quickly and you have to work with people day after day, you learn to develop leadership skills (3:20) When he was young he kept his eyes open and watched a lot of what was going on around him he developed skills that he kept with him his entire career (3:40)   How Community Mediation Has Helped Jim (4:30) Construction is fast-paced with thin profit margins, and that causes a lot of conflicts To be able to come in with a mediator background and skills helps make conversations easier   The Skills Jim Has Learned and How to Apply Them (5:44) The model of mediation that Jim uses preserves the relationship by making sure the conflict isn’t personalized by each of the parties In mediation, you learn the importance of fully vetting and understanding the other side’s position You do this by spending less time making your own case and more time understanding what the people you’re negotiating with want or need You have to agree on the problem before you can reach a solution What is the value of good will on a project? When you create good will you increase trust   Where and How Jim Implements His Skills Within His Own Program (14:15) There are a few layers between Jim and a Resident Engineer, but he is a volunteer mediator on the side. Jim has a good relationship with those he works with and does mediate with them. When you work together, the job is more successful and it’s more fun.   Where Someone Might Go to Get Mediation Skills (16:40) Jim went to the National Conflict Resolution Center (NCRC), they provide training nationally and internationally and you can find more information on their website com Some states have community-based mediation training, as well as some universities Jim learned mediation in small claims court in San Diego, about 20 years ago   About SANDAG and Jim’s Construction Project (19:15) The program is $9 billion and multi-year, both light rail and heavy rail. The project also includes bus rapid transit and freeway projects. About two years ago, SANDAG completed their first Design/Build projects and now SANDAG is doing its first CM/GC (or CM at Risk) job. The vast majority of projects are low bid, but the majority of dollars are alternative procurement.   About Jim’s $2.2 Billion Light Rail Project (21:58)   The project is the biggest transportation project ever done in San Diego done and the first project SANDAG has done as CM/GC The job is going smoothly and it’s the highest performing team Jim’s ever been associated with The job is halfway done, on a typical day there are about 600 workers on that job (an 11-mile long project) They just celebrated and they just had a “topping out ceremony” with the last pre-cast girder (out of 144) that got set at 2:00 am   What’s Making Jim’s Light Rail Project So Successful (23:57)   They brought the contractor on board for preconstruction services about a year and a half ahead of time. They brought in experts and had joint training sessions with the contractor. They had day-long classes such as CM/GC 101 and CM/GC 202. They set a minimum profit margin at 5% and had regular sessions with the team executives to ensure their buy-in. They sent their staff to a few transit agencies that had done CM/GC successfully to talk to their counterparts to get best practices and make connections.    The Biggest Challenge Jim’s Faced in His Career (29:45)   The job was to retrofit a freeway-to-freeway interchange and viaduct for earthquakes. About halfway through the project having completed ~80,000 rebar welds which were all encased in concrete, and then they found out that their rebar welds were not sufficient.  They had to start over; blast out all of the concrete, take off all of the rebar and re-weld them.  The FBI, the state Department of Transportation, and the Federal Department of Transportation Inspector General all got involved. This ended in a multi-million-dollar dispute.   The Best Advice Jim Has Gotten (35:50)   Be as flexible as possible and as nimble with your resources and your processes as you can. Take advantage of the talent of the team (the resources) and set up processes that suit the project. If you have a good history with the contractors, engineers and/or project managers you can do things concurrently on a construction project and you will be nimbler. You will improve the project and your relationships.   How to Develop Your Leadership Style (38:30) Observe what leaders do and don’t do that you find particularly effective, take notes and see if it fits into your style – it’s important for something to fit within your personality and style Watch what people do that is not effective and figure out why   Resources for our Listeners (39:51)   Read the Partner Your Project Book by Sue Dyer Check Out Leadership is an Art by Max Depree   Jim’s Favorite Piece of Tech (41:20)   The Headspace app for meditation and mindfulness.  And drones – drones are the best thing to happen for a construction site ever, because you can see up and around jobs almost in real time.   Contact Jim on LinkedIn   Jim’s Parting Advice for Construction Nation (43:44)   Really listen to people.  Don’t think about what you’re going to say next.  Practice active listening.  Let people know that you understand what they’re saying.   Construction Nation, Dream Teams don’t just happen they are built one step at a time.

Today, I had the pleasure of chatting with Jim and Christina from Mr. and Mrs. Romance, a travel blog from his and her perspective. These two are an absolute blast, and it is obvious that they love what they do. They are funny, honest, and yet very protective of the community of followers that have gathered. A community they see more as friends. The kind of friends you candidly recount stories to about your recent trip to Bali. Giving them the inside scoops on what is "Must See" and "Must Avoid". They highlight their reviews with the good and not so good which has been fundamental in the trust that they have earned. Here's the scoop on how Mr. & Mrs. Romance keep their readers coming back for more. Uniting and Bringing the Community Together Sharing a story through images and video is how Jim and Christina unite their community and it's through these images they take people on the journey with them. The stories are a way to connect everyone. Jim is the writer, and they've found men are attracted to a blog written in a male voice. The evolution of their community is thanks to telling stories through images and using an authentic voice. It has also grown their community into what feels like a group of trusted friends. Trust, Authenticity, and Passion Creates a Community Connection Jim and Christina now have a larger platform to share their travel adventures, and they take the trust of their readership very seriously. Trust is built through honest advice that in helpful and thorough. For them, seeing people come back to the site and share their own experiences of a place show them that they are connecting in a meaningful way. Their community extends to the places they visit, and the small businesses they support through sharing their experiences within them. They love nothing more than knowing people are visiting these small and sometimes remote places because of a review they've uploaded. Telling good stories by playing to their personal strengths of Christina focusing on photography and Jim focusing on the writing is what motivates readers to take action and follow their travel suggestions. They tell really good stories by expressing how they feel when they are in these places. The passion of their shared experiences is what people want to tap into and as such inspires Jim & Christina to continue to share their experiences. Kinship and Handling Negativity Having a positive mindset and sharing the results of the new adventure creates kinship in the community. When Jim blogs he imagines that he is blogging to a friend. Putting out positivity, they remain open minded and objective. In a way that creates a safe, but positive space. Successful Platform of Communication Everything revolves around the blog, but social media is where the engagement happens. The community likes to hang out on Instagram and Facebook. The social engagement on these platforms drives traffic back to the blog. Be The Drop - Top Communication Tip Being authentic works. Tell a genuine story and people will read it and come back for more and even take action. Honest information is fun. About Jim and Christina Jim and Christina met at random back in 2000. They soon realised that they shared many insights about the world around them and decided to explore it together. They are still together today, and blog about their adventures. They have a mutual love of eating, drinking, and exploring new places and sharing their adventures. Tweetables "We take people on our journey with us through our stories on our camera and connect everyone in our community" Christina "Trust is all you have, and we take it really seriously" Christina "Because we play to our strengths, we have the best of both worlds on the site" Jim To access the weekly podcast episodes as they are released: SUBSCRIBE to us in iTunes here.
