Get ready for an inspiring story of transformation! Eric Thompson is joined on the Ninja Selling Podcast by Mike DePalma of DePalma Realty in South Jersey, and his Ninja Coach, Mark Johnson. This episode dives deep into Mike's incredible journey from earning $8,000 a year to over $308,000 in just five years – all while maintaining control of his schedule and prioritizing family time. Discover how Mike, initially hesitant about real estate despite his family's legacy in the business, found his path and built a thriving, referral-based business through the Ninja Selling system. Mike shares his "before Ninja" struggles – feeling lost, trying various lead-gen tactics that felt inauthentic, and nearly quitting the industry multiple times. Learn how discovering the Ninja Selling book in 2020 became a "trend bender" moment, leading him to embrace simple yet powerful habits like writing personal notes, which immediately yielded positive results. He discusses the evolution of his business, the crucial role of building a robust database, the power of live flow, and how consistent application of the Ninja 9, even without being "perfect," has been the cornerstone of his success. This episode is a testament to the power of systems, consistency, and coaching. Hear how Mike, with Mark's guidance, built a business where over 90% of his transactions now come from his sphere and referrals, allowing him to work efficiently, enjoy his life, and even explore new ventures like flipping and development.

"I know I can get 50 forward conversations in... because I've done it, so why can't I do it every week?" "I just ignored that voice in my head and did it anyways. And no one was mad that I called them." "I heard a great phrase that said, if you're invited, go. And that has been very powerful and has kind of been my new mantra..." "I need to be doing these activities out of that, with that mindset that I am helping them and that I love helping them and not 'I have to do this'."
