In today’s episode, Brian hosts guest George Hegamin, a Superbowl champion with the Dallas Cowboys in 1996. In addition to talking a lot of sports, they talk about leadership, connections, and relationships. George talks about his mindset growing up, and how this helped shape his success with the Dallas Cowboys. So many of the ideas and concepts they talk about can be applied to real estate and finding success when you’re first getting started or looking for a way to recharge your business. Key Takeaways: [3:25] Before George and Brian met, George had already gone through a transitional period. As he moved toward what he was called to do in this world, he realigned himself. He currently serves as an academic liaison and football coach at IMG Academy. He realized that once you figure out how you can make the most impact, that’s when you’re really making movements. [7:25] There are many brand new people trying to get started in real estate, and the number one mistake is that they try to make it all about real estate. It needs to be about mindset first. [10:10] George and Brian talk about dynasty teams, and what sets them apart from other teams. They get to be dynasty teams because they are consistently doing the right things to grow and develop. [13:30] When George was a kid, he always knew he was going to be the next Charles Barkley. This mindset was his one way out of the social strata in which he grew up. He didn’t grow up playing football, but once he started playing as a junior in high school, he really skyrocketed and knew he would go pro. [20:35] George was on the radar for several schools because of his athleticism. He ended up going to North Carolina State because being there made him feel like he was going to be more than just a football player. He wants to encourage kids to make decisions that are going to have a long-lasting effect, beyond maybe just a few years. [22:35] In real estate, as you’re going on appointments, it’s important to develop a rapport with interested buyers because they could choose you or your offer over someone else’s. Establishing rapport is the one thing all real estate investors have to do. [27:35] When working with students, George tries to make sure he remains transparent all the time. Now that we have social media, kids today can go open their phones and see a perfect picture of someone’s life, but it may not be authentic. [32:00] George encourages people to focus on the “and” — many people are not just one thing, not just a student or just an athlete. When you focus on the “and,” you can focus on building relationships, developing rapport, and building character. It has to be something that you care about more than just what it does for you. [36:40] The relationships you develop on your journey are incredibly important. It’s about what you take from those relationships, and how you add those things to the relationships you make going forward. [40:35] When talking about some of the great athletes, George notes that there is something different about how they approach their 24 hours. They plan the plan; they notice what works for other successful people and use that to create their plan. This is what George is hoping to teach the students at IMG Academy. [42:30] Another important element they try to stress at IMG is managing and taking control of your time. This is crucial for people getting started in real estate so you have a plan to make sure you cover all your bases. [46:15] Relationships, or networking if you’re in business, are maybe the second most important aspect of success. George stresses the importance of the reciprocity of relationships; when you have to ask questions, you have to be willing to work for that answer. It’s important that relationships go both ways. [49:00] You have to be willing to serve — that is where you learn everything. When you’re getting started in real estate or any business, you need to get down in the dirt and figure out how things work. Find someone who is successful in the field you are in, help them do what they do, and use what you learn from them in your own business. [54:15] Real estate is a relationship business, just like any other business. If you don’t get that right, it’s going to be very difficult for you to get anything else right.

Jim Vance: But, part of what people sometimes found so grating about George was what I figured out right away. George is an unrepentant perfectionist. As it regards his element of concern, his sports broadcast, his show, he demanded nothing but perfection. There's so many things I admired about George not the least of them, one of the people I met last Saturday at the Golden Circle Award thing was one of George interns from back 25 years ago who remembered so well how he used to have to wear a tie every day. I admire George for making his interns come to work every day wearing a tie. You were talking earlier about .. A Ockershausen: Felix. Jim Vance: about Felix respecting his audience. It's also a matter of respecting the craft. I appreciate ... And nobody respected the craft more than George. Beyond that I never knew a harder working man in my life, Andy, than George Michael. A Ockershausen: He seemed to be possessed when he was around his own show. Then he did it with the special show. Jim Vance: With the .. A Ockershausen: He made Sports World. Janice Ockershausen: Sports Center? A Ockershausen: Sports Machine. Jim Vance: Sports Machine. Thank you so very much. Before George taught ESPN how to do it. A Ockershausen: Absolutely he did. Jim Vance: I'll never forget the day I was going to the station and these construction crews in there like, "what the hell." They had this big crane. The very first satellite was being put up in our parking lot and some people were angry, because it took away at least five parking spaces which were at a premium. A Ockershausen: Absolutely. Jim Vance: Then I think now I can't even count the number we have in there now. That was George. His foresight was so sharp and so incredible. Then the number of people he brought in who then went on ... A Ockershausen: A lot of young people he taught the business to. We hear it all the time. Jim Vance: Taught the business to. Lindsay to this day, sings the praises of ... A Ockershausen: Lindsay Cadillac I call her. Jim Vance: That's good enough too. Except I call her Lindsay Rolls Royce. A Ockershausen: She's great. So many people that went through George. The team and Bob Ryan was such a part of your interplay with the staff. The Chemistry WRC-TV: George, Bob, Arch, Doreen and Jim Jim Vance: And Arch. A Ockershausen: Arch. Jim Vance: And they all came at about the same time in the early 80s. Bob, George, and Arch. A Ockershausen: And Doreen. Jim Vance: Well Doreen came later. Doreen is now with us 27 years. A Ockershausen: I know that's incredible. Jim Vance: Well now let me tell you what's even more incredible. This is a testosterone overloaded set with George, Bob, Arch, and me. Here comes Doreen, this drop-dead gorgeous. Big hair ... A Ockershausen: Yeah big hairdo. Jim Vance: Right.
