Daniel Waters Tuesday Evening 2/24/26

One of the most vivid memories from my childhood was the day I was bucked off my pony, Macaroni. I was only six years old. We were in an arena where my mother was giving me my very first riding lessons.  Macaroni was stung by a bee, and she reacted by bucking. I couldn't hang on, and I landed hard on my back. It knocked the breath out of me. I gasped for air. Then, as I finally caught my breath, I started bawling at the shock of being involuntarily dismounted.  My mom caught the pony, led her back over to me, and gently told me to dust myself off and get back on. But by this time, I was sobbing the way kids do when they've cried so hard that they can't stop.  Failure is Just a Bruise I shook my head and refused to get back on the pony. My mother tried her best to calm me down and reason with me, but I still refused to get back on.  Then she took a different tactic and got tough. Her stern, direct tone of voice made it clear that she was not asking me to get back on the pony—she was telling me. That's what I remember the most because my mom had never talked to me like that before and has rarely ever used that tone and directness since.  “Get up, and get back on that pony now!” she admonished.  She was unmovable. Like Teflon. My tears and pleading made no difference. I knew I had no choice, so I stood up, shaking. Still trying to catch my breath, she helped me get back on the pony.  Right there in the riding ring, at six years old, I experienced one of the most pivotal lessons of my life. My mother taught me that failure is just a bruise, not a tattoo.  She wasn't being cruel; she was being protective—protective of my future self, the one who might otherwise have carried an irrational fear of horses, or an ingrained habit of backing down at the first taste of adversity into the rest of my life. She knew that if she had let me off the hook and let me walk away from that pony, there was a good chance that I'd never get back on again. That the fear I felt when I landed on my back in the sand would grow and gain a life of its own. That I would vow to never let the pain and embarrassment of falling off happen to me again, and with that, my brush with failure would become permanent.  Failure Can't Really Bite You The truth is, failure is usually a short-lived event. Yes, it's jarring, unexpected, and can momentarily knock the breath out of you. But it doesn't have to be the defining chapter of your story.  That's what my mother understood so well in that riding ring. She insisted that I face my fear, effectively telling me, “Hey, the worst part's over. Now that you've experienced fear and failure, get back on and prove to yourself you can handle it.”  Because once you push through that initial sting, you discover that the fear can't really bite you unless you give it teeth in your own mind.  When Failure Becomes Permanent For far too many people, though, the pain of failure does become permanent. Instead of allowing themselves a moment to dust off and try again, they walk away in defeat—often without fully grasping the long-term impact of that decision.  Rather than letting the bruise fade, they opt to memorialize failure in their minds, assigning it more meaning than it deserves. They replay the embarrassment and pain over and over, until it becomes an unspoken vow: “Never again.”  And in that single choice, a brief setback can morph into a defining moment in which they forfeit the chance to learn, grow, and eventually experience the sweetness of victory. Think about how this scenario plays out in everyday life. Maybe you dream of learning a new skill—painting, playing guitar, writing a book, starting a podcast—but in your first attempt, you falter or feel foolish. Rather than chalking it up to “beginner's missteps,” you decide: “I'm terrible at this; I'll never try again.” And that small bruise becomes a tattoo right there, on the spot. You miss out on the personal growth, the fun, and potentially incredible experiences you would have discovered if you'd simply dusted yourself off and tried again. Sales is a Tapestry of Failure In sales, this avoidance of failure is just as prevalent, if not more so, because the stakes often involve your income or your reputation at work.  One day, you run a sales call that goes terribly off the rails—the prospect is disinterested, you get flustered, or you stumble on a key question. You come away feeling embarrassed, incompetent, maybe even humiliated if it happened in front of your sales manager.  That single negative experience can color your perception of future calls. You avoid that type of call, that kind of prospect, or that particular approach. You remember that unpleasant feeling so vividly that you decide it's “safer” never to try again.  So many sales reps finally gain the courage to cold call a C-level executive at a high-value prospect. Then freeze when they get a hard objection, leaving them feeling small and insecure. Instead of analyzing what went wrong, adjusting their approach, and trying again, they vow, “I'm never calling anyone that high up again.”  And while that might spare them from momentary embarrassment and discomfort, the long-term consequences are enormous. Their pipeline shrinks and income tanks because they're playing it safe. And, ultimately, their career crashes because they're afraid to push outside of their comfort zone. Sales Failure: Where the Bruise Can Really Hurt Sales can be bruising. Each rejection takes a piece out of you and can feel like a blow to your self-worth. It's easy to internalize it. Over time, a string of “no's” can erode your confidence, making the idea of picking up the phone and calling prospects feel daunting. Our minds can often be drama queens. When something painful happens, we cling to that memory and replay it, each time piling on new layers of negativity—“I can't believe I said that,” “What was I thinking,” “I'm so stupid.” In reality, the prospect might barely remember it or might even respect your courage. But to you, it's all-consuming. But remember, a “no” in sales is rarely personal. Often, it's circumstantial—maybe the prospect is having a bad day, or their budget cycle doesn't align with your proposal, or they had a negative experience with a different vendor and brought that baggage with them into your presentation.  The more you detach your self-worth from the outcome, the less likely you are to see these “no's” as permanent markers of failure. Instead, you'll shift your mindset. You begin to view failure as data that you can use to gain insight into how to improve. You start to treat each rejection as a chance to refine your approach. Success Stories are Forged in Failure The true success stories in sales almost always come from people who learned to pick themselves up, analyze the failure, and adapt. They didn't let the fear of failure overshadow their potential for greatness.   The best salespeople—and frankly, the happiest people—know that failure is inevitable. Rather than avoiding it, they embrace it. They feel the pain just like anyone else, but recognize that bruises eventually fade. You just have to keep moving forward in order to heal. At the end of the day, resilience in the face of failure is a choice. It doesn't always feel like one, especially in the raw moments right after you've messed up, taken a big hit, or find yourself on your back in the dirt.  But as soon as you reclaim your power to stand up, brush off the dust, and climb back on—whether it's a literal or figurative pony—you'll find your perspective shifting. Failure no longer holds you hostage. It becomes a footnote in a broader story of your determination and personal growth. Failure is Only Final If You Make That Choice So, the next time you bomb a sales call, lose a deal you thought was a lock, get yelled at on a cold call, or face an embarrassing situation in front of your peers, remember: you get to choose. Will this be just a bruise, or will you sear it into your psyche, turning it into a tattoo of permanent self-doubt?  My challenge to you this week is when things go wrong, to look up and get up. Get back on the phone. Set another meeting. Propose the next big idea. Trust yourself to learn, adapt, and keep going. Will yourself to stop and make one more call.  Because failure is only final if you decide to never get back on that pony again.

Episode Overview: In this powerful episode, John sits down with Jimmy Nelson to unpack a critical shift happening in real estate: AI is everywhere, but emotional intelligence is the true separator. From automation overload to shiny-object syndrome, agents are drowning in technology while skipping the internal work required to build something sustainable. Jimmy shares why inconsistency isn't a discipline problem — it's a regulation problem — and how agents must master self-awareness, identity, and emotional alignment before scaling with AI. This conversation dives deep into Human Plus thinking: emotional intelligence before automation, identity before scaling, and vision before decisions. If you want to future-proof your business in an AI-driven world, this episode is a must-listen. Key Topics Covered The Fork in the Road: AI Efficiency vs Human Connection The rise of AI and what it means for real estate professionals Why technology accelerates chaos if you haven't mastered discipline The "cold automation" model vs the Ritz-Carlton-level experience Why the future belongs to professionals who combine AI efficiency with human excellence The 75% Problem in Real Estate Two years in a row, 70%+ of agents didn't sell a home Why information is no longer the value — wisdom is The thinning of the herd and the leveling up of professionalism Why buyers and sellers now believe they know more than their agent Emotional Intelligence Before AI (Human Plus Framework) Timmy introduces the Human Plus model: Self-awareness before automation Emotional regulation before scale Identity before production Operators of AI — not AI operating you If you don't know who you want to be, AI will amplify confusion instead of clarity. The "Have, Do, Be" Trap Many agents operate backward: They chase the "have" (money, closings, recognition) Without becoming the person who consistently does the work The shift: Decide who you want to be Align your actions Then the results follow Why Most Agents Set the Wrong Goals When asked how much they want to make, most agents say "$100,000." But why that number? Why not $90K? Why not $200K? What is the purpose behind the number? The key is breaking big goals down into daily behavior: Conversations per day Appointments per week Agreements per month Math doesn't lie — but identity determines execution. Inconsistency Isn't a Discipline Problem Timmy's insight: "Inconsistency isn't a discipline problem. It's a regulation problem." Agents bounce between shiny objects because: They don't trust themselves They're emotionally misaligned They're chasing relief instead of results Technology reveals discipline. It doesn't create it. AI as a Mirror, Not a Crutch AI can be powerful — if used correctly. Practical exercise discussed: Ask AI to challenge your business model Have it ask you tough questions Use voice input for honest reflection Request direct, unfiltered feedback But remember: AI will gas you up if you don't bring discernment and critical thinking. The Work-Life Blend (Not Balance) Real estate creates guilt loops: When you're home, you feel like you should be working When you're working, you feel like you should be home The solution: Long-term vision Clarity of lifestyle goals Designing a sustainable model Finding What Lights You Up Within real estate, there are countless paths: Sales Marketing Social media Systems Development Coaching Community building The question becomes: What could you do for the rest of your life — even if you weren't paid for it? Then build the business around that.

Final Takeaway AI is not your competitive advantage. Emotional intelligence is. The agents who thrive in the next decade won't just automate — they'll: Master self-awareness Align identity with action Build clarity before scale Lead with vision, not reaction As John reinforced in the episode: Vision drives decision. Decision drives action. No vision, no deal. And as Jimmy summarized: Emotional Intelligence before AI.

We continue our "Vision" series with Roger Morris teaching from Habakkuk 2:1–4 that you should ask God for your kingdom assignment, expect Him to answer, and then write the vision and make it plain. He explains that Habakkuk became frustrated and anxious about his circumstances, but his perspective changed through faith as he wrote the vision and looked ahead by faith even before anything changed. Roger emphasizes that you have been translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God's Son, so your life now includes a kingdom assignment on Earth, and you should set an "appointed time" (an appointment) with God to seek that vision.   He teaches that delays often come from you, not God, and that fear and anxiety are from the enemy, while faith is how you move forward. Roger defines imagination as the ability to see what is not physically present and connects hope to a positive imagination—a blueprint for what you want in life—illustrating with personal stories about dreaming for a home, and God providing needs and desires like appliances and a large TV through reward points.   The message includes encouragement that God is not mad or disappointed in you, and it closes with an invitation to make Jesus Lord, a salvation prayer, and directions to connect with Bill & Roger at billandroger.com for events, the store, YouTube messages, and partnership support.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Kingdom Assignment: You've Been Translated—Now Ask for Your Vision 00:23 Welcome + Why You Need Your Bible (and a Funny 'Job' Story) 03:10 Habakkuk's Frustration to Faith: The Setup for 'Write the Vision' 04:09 Habakkuk 2:1–3 — God Answers When You Ask 05:58 'Write the Vision': Seeing It in Your Imagination & Kingdom Purpose 08:15 The 'Appointed Time' (Moed): Make an Appointment with God 10:52 When Vision 'Tarries': Faith, Tradition, and What 'Wait on the Lord' Means 15:22 Your Self-Talk Shapes Your Life: God Isn't Mad at You 17:32 Fear vs. Faith: Anxiety, Thoughts, and Guarding Your Mind 18:47 Hope as Positive Imagination: Blueprints, Dreams, and the House Testimony 25:20 Invitation: Make Jesus Lord (Prayer of Salvation) 26:42 Connect with the Ministry: Website, Events, Store, Subscribe & Partner 28:47 Final Encouragement: Live an Extraordinary Life   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

Larry Kudlow and David Malpass discuss the need for a fundamental shift in Federal Reserve policy following the anticipated appointment of Kevin Warsh. They argue that the central bank's current reliance on backward-looking data and outdated economic models stifles national prosperity by failing to account for the power of innovation. Malpass suggests that by moving away from the "natural rate" of interest and embracing supply-side reforms like deregulation and tax cuts, the government can achieve rapid economic growth without triggering inflation.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Here’s a question that’ll frustrate every salesperson reading this: What do you do when you prospect, set the meeting, block the time on your calendar, and then… your prospect no-shows? That’s the challenge Emily Weissmueller faces every single day. Emily is a former elementary school teacher who pivoted into K-12 edtech sales eleven years ago. She works with special education administrators, and like so many salespeople in 2026, her meetings are primarily virtual. She’s doing everything right: prospecting consistently, securing appointments, sending calendar invites. But when it’s time for the meeting? Hit or miss. Sometimes they show up. Sometimes she’s sitting there waiting while nobody logs on. If you’ve ever stared at a Zoom room alone wondering if your prospect forgot about you, you know exactly how this feels. And if you’re wondering whether confirmation emails help or hurt, you’re asking the wrong question entirely. The Virtual Meeting Paradox Let’s be honest about something: Virtual meetings are throwaway appointments for both sides. When you had to drive four hours to meet someone in person, both parties had serious skin in the game. You invested time, gas money, and effort. Your prospect blocked their calendar knowing you were making the trip. Neither of you would casually blow that off. But virtual meetings? They’re low commitment on both ends. No one’s driving anywhere. It’s just a calendar block that can easily get bumped by the next urgent thing that pops up. And when you’re selling into education like Emily is, where everything moves infinitely slow and decision-makers are incredibly risk-averse, you’ve got even more working against you. The question isn’t whether to send a confirmation email. The real question is: How do you stack the deck so heavily in your favor that prospects feel obligated to show up? The Commitment and Consistency Framework There’s a principle in human behavior called commitment and consistency. When people commit to something, they typically feel compelled to follow through. Otherwise, they feel guilty. And guilt is actually useful because you can leverage it to reschedule when someone doesn’t show. But the goal isn’t to make prospects feel guilty after they no-show. The goal is to engineer so many small commitments throughout the process that they show up in the first place. Here’s the system that works: Step 1: Confirm Verbally When You Set the Meeting When your prospect agrees to meet, always repeat it back: “Okay, so I’ve got you on Thursday, January 26th at 2:00 PM. Did I get that right?” When they say yes, that’s commitment number one. You’re putting it in their brain. You’re making it real. Then say this: “Let me grab your email and I’ll send you a meeting invite for your calendar just to make it convenient for you.” This does two things. First, it confirms you have the right email. Second, it gets another yes. That’s commitment number two. Step 2: Send a Meeting Invite That Actually Helps Most meeting invites are useless. They say “Meeting with Jeb Blount” or “Sales Call” and include seventeen different international dial-in numbers that nobody needs. Here’s what your meeting invite should look like: Title: Emily Weissmueller (Company Name) + Prospect Name (School Name) – Why We’re Meeting Location: Virtual Meeting (then paste the meeting link, nothing else) Notes: Keep it simple. Here’s the meeting link. If it’s a phone option, include just that number. Then add: “If anything changes, here’s my direct number and email.” When your prospect looks at their calendar the morning of the meeting and sees this, they know exactly who you are, why you’re meeting, and how to join. You own the moral high ground. Step 3: Send a Video (This Is Non-Negotiable) The next morning after you set the meeting, pull out your phone and record a 20-30 second video. Look at the camera. Smile. Sound excited. “Emily, this is Jeb at Sales Gravy. Thank you so much for agreeing to meet with me. I’m so excited to spend time learning about you and your mission for helping these kids. Just want to confirm our meeting is on January 26th at 2:00 PM. The invite is on your calendar. I can’t wait to see you.” Send that via email. Now think about what you’ve just done. You’ve made it personal. You’ve shown effort. You’ve demonstrated that you actually care about this conversation. It’s exponentially harder for them to no-show because they can see you’re a real human who invested time in this relationship. This philosophy is about going the extra mile to demonstrate that you’re different, that you care, and that this matters. Step 4: Leave a Voicemail the Day Before The afternoon before your meeting, when you know your prospect is likely gone for the day, call and leave a voicemail. “Hey Emily, this is Jeb. I’m so excited to meet with you tomorrow. I’ve been thinking about your school and the ways we might be able to help. I can’t wait to learn more about what you’re trying to accomplish for these kids. Just a reminder, our meeting is at 2:00 PM tomorrow. All the info is in your calendar. If anything changes, give me a call.” You’re doing the heavy lifting. You’re reminding them. You’re expressing genuine interest in their world, not just your sale. Step 5: The Morning-Of Email (Optional) Here’s where the A/B testing comes in. Some salespeople swear by the morning-of confirmation email. Others think it gives prospects an easy out. My take? Test both approaches and track your show rates. Do half your appointments with the morning email, half without it, and see which converts better. Even a 2-3% improvement in show rate compounds significantly over a year. If you do send the morning email, make it about them: “Emily, I’m really looking forward to our conversation today at 2:00 PM. I can’t wait to learn more about your mission and see if there’s a way we can support what you’re building.” Play to their heartstrings. People love talking about themselves and their work. Make it easy for them to want to show up. What to Do When You Send a Confirmation Email Now, if you’re going to send a confirmation email, there are specific scenarios where it’s absolutely required: You’re driving four hours to meet someone in person You’re bringing executives or your boss to the meeting It’s a final presentation or closing meeting with a major opportunity Multiple stakeholders are coordinating calendars In those cases, you’re not just confirming—you’re protecting your time and theirs. You’re making sure you don’t waste an executive’s schedule or drive across the state for nothing. But for a standard first appointment? The video and voicemail sequence will outperform a confirmation email every single time. The Real Problem: Systems, Not People No-shows aren’t a people problem. They’re a systems problem. When you build a repeatable prospecting system that includes verbal confirmation, calendar invites with clear details, personal video, and day-before voicemail, you engineer commitment at every stage. You’re not hoping prospects remember. You’re not relying on their calendar notifications. You’re building a runway that allows them to land in the meeting because you’ve made it nearly impossible for them to forget or blow you off. And when someone does no-show after all that effort? You own the moral high ground. You can call back with confidence: “Hey, I know things come up. I sent the video, left the voicemail, and had everything on your calendar. Let’s get this rescheduled because I’m genuinely excited to learn about what you’re working on.” That conversation is dramatically different than calling back after sending one email and hoping for the best. The Efficiency Multiplier Think about what happens when your show rate improves by even 10%. If you were setting ten appointments per week and six were showing up, that’s a 60% show rate. Bump that to seven showing up and you’re at 70%. That’s one extra conversation per week. Four extra conversations per month. Forty-eight extra conversations per year. If your close rate is 20%, that’s nearly ten additional deals per year just from improving your meeting show rate. That’s the power of sales execution at the highest level. Your Action Plan If you’re struggling with no-shows, implement this system immediately: For every appointment you set: Confirm it verbally when you schedule it Send a detailed calendar invite with clean formatting Record and send a personal video the next day Leave an enthusiastic voicemail the day before A/B test the morning-of email and track results Track these metrics: Total appointments set Show rate percentage No-show rate Reschedule success rate After 30 days, analyze what’s working and double down on it. The Bottom Line Virtual meetings are easy to ignore. That’s just reality in 2026. Your prospects are busy, distracted, and constantly reprioritizing. Your job isn’t to guilt them into showing up. Your job is to build a system that makes showing up feel like the obvious, natural choice because you’ve demonstrated care, invested effort, and made it personal. Stop sending one confirmation email and hoping for the best. Start building commitment through repetition, personalization, and genuine interest in your prospect’s world. That’s how you fill your calendar with meetings that actually happen. That’s how you stop wasting time staring at empty Zoom rooms. And that’s how you build a sales career based on systems, not hope. Meetings happen by design, not by luck. Build the runway. Land the meeting. Close the deal. Ready to Master the Complete Prospecting System? The tactics in this article are just the beginning.

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken sits down with Leanne O'Neil, a former neurofeedback practitioner who made the bold decision to sell her practice and go all-in on Splankna after seeing deeper, faster, and more affordable results for emotional regulation and trauma support. Leanne shares her fascinating professional journey out of brain-based technology and into a Christ-centered, mind-body approach to emotional freedom. Together, Laura and Leanne explore why Splankna often reaches places that traditional brain training and neurofeedback cannot—especially when it comes to trauma, subconscious patterns, and forgiveness. This episode also takes a surprising turn into the growing scientific and academic interest in forgiveness and emotional regulation, highlighting how leading universities are now studying the role of forgiveness in mental health, stress reduction, and human flourishing. Leanne explains how forgiveness work fits naturally into Splankna sessions and why unresolved emotional pain can quietly keep people stuck—even when they are highly motivated to change. If you are curious about neurofeedback, trauma support, forgiveness research, or why someone would walk away from a successful clinical practice to follow Jesus into a completely different model of care—this episode will give you clarity, hope, and language to understand what Splankna actually offers.

Most agents think listings are won at the appointment. Top agents know listings are won before they ever walk through the door. In this episode, we break down how productive agents consistently win listings before the listing presentation even happens — by mastering the first conversation, setting expectations early, introducing pricing correctly, and positioning themselves as trusted advisors instead of salespeople. You'll learn how to: • Build trust before the appointment• Set pricing expectations without killing the opportunity• Position yourself as the clear choice early• Eliminate listing competition before it starts• Create a repeatable system that wins listings consistently If you're tired of competing, defending commissions, and hoping to win listings at the table, this episode shows you how to flip the process in your favor.
