Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy Welcome to Day 1140 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Success in Four Short Words – Wisdom Unplugged Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is https://wisdom-trek.com/day-1140/ (Day 1140) of our trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit of additional content for today's trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today. So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from A. Lou Vickery, and it is, “Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd; a little bit more. They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more.” Success in Four Short Words Little success is based on being talented or gifted in a certain area of life. The most successful people in any area of life are rarely the smartest, strongest, or most talented. In fact, most who are successful come from very modest backgrounds with limited resources or natural giftedness. There is a secret ingredient found in the most successful people that has nothing to do with their pedigree, their connections, or their intellect. The secret ingredient can be summed up in four short words…‘a little bit more.' Successful people do all that is expected of them. They complete all that is required, just like everyone else, but then they do ‘a little bit more,' and it makes all the difference. It is that extra perseverance, that extra push, that extra effort and energy that separates those who are just successful from those who are most successful. The next time you think you have completed the task enough to be successful, then push forward and lift yourself above the crowd and do ‘a little bit more' than what is expected. This is not so you will be successful in the eyes of others, but so that you will know that you have done your very best for yourself and for God. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians+10:31&version=NLT (1 Corinthians [10:31]) So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. That's a wrap for today's Wisdom Unplugged quote.

Jason Will welcomes back into the Deep Fried Studios the beautiful and talented (and wife) Diana Will. Diana shares what she has been up to with Movement Mortgage, what makes them so innovate and different in the world of real estate mortgage. Jason also discusses the importance of listening, learning based mindsets, video marketing, and creating activation content. Plus, the Wills share the inspiration and reasons for starting the 2019 IMPACT Agent Conference, their biggest highlights and what to expect with IMPACT Agent Conference Two in 2020. Key Takeaways: 1. Movement Mortgage is an innovative and purposeful real estate mortgage company worth looking into. 2. Realtors need to look at some of the newer and innovative mortgage products and programs that are available. 3. Diana is drawn to the mortgage side of real estate. 4. The importance of cultivating a student and learning based mindset for your real estate career. 5. Activation content, especially video, is an incredibly powerful marketing tool. 6. Choose serving or selling. 7. Listening is the biggest role as a realtor. 8. Chasing money will not be fulfilling for most people. 9. Focusing on proof over promises in presentation and sales. 10. Your income is a direct reflection of the impact that you're having in your local market. Resources: Diana Will - Facebook | LinkedIn Movement Mortgage - Website | Twitter Shareables and Quotables Movement Mortgage it's a great company with a very deep culture. It's really culture over everything else. - Jason Will Part of the mission statement is that profits do matter, but that really does come at the bottom of the core values at Movement Mortgage. - Diana Will I love the way the company gives back to not only the community and third world countries, but they also combine the two. - Jason Will I love leverage, and I love the freedom that it gives you. And so I can take care of the people that I want to take care of at a high level. - Diana Will The traditional mortgage process is, you only get to the underwriter once everything else is viable. And so Movement Mortgage reverse engineered the process to where everybody goes to the underwriter as long as the loan officer sees that it's a viable loan. - Diana Will A big part of my talk at IMPACT was about activation content. Putting content out there that triggers buyers and sellers in the market. - Jason Will Activation content is the next best thing to getting belly to belly. - Jason Will I really try to listen to what my clients need. And if funds are tight, I structure the mortgage to where whatever they can get back; they get back. - Diana Will Math has always been my strong suit. When I was in real estate, the mortgage side always was an appeal to me, and so I led with that. - Diana Will I love that I can build a team. So I'm putting a team together within Movement Mortgage. I love that they have the systems together. And to me, Movement Mortgage really has just a much bigger culture than what we had built already at JWRE. - Diana Will JWRE is known for innovation and so is Movement Mortgage. So it's just a bigger scale, and it gives me a platform to serve what we've already built. - Diana Will I want agents to understand how being learning based, what kind of an impact it's had on my life. And wanting that for other people and trying to push that. - Jason Will I always want to support realtors. I was a realtor for 14 years. I'm still passionate about the industry. - Diana Will If you don't schedule it, it won't ever happen. It doesn't exist if it's not on your calendar. - Jason Will When you force the creative and really sit down and put your heart out there it feels good. - Jason Will I love the leverage aspect. Money does buy freedom. We have our groceries delivered, that's freedom. I don't have to spend two hours at Publix every week. - Diana Will Commit to serving, not selling. - Diana Will Serving is asking questions and figuring out what's important to the people that you're working with. - Jason Will The best salespeople Lou Vickery has ever trained have asked the most and the best questions. - Jason Will Our job is to be good listeners. That's our role. That's how we serve. - Jason Will New money. New money. New money. There's nothing wrong with focusing on new money. Everybody makes money, and it's okay to get paid for what you do. If you do it well, you get paid a lot of money, and nobody should feel bad about it. - Jason Will If you're focused on the end result and what that end result is going to bring to you and you're just obsessed with the superficial part of it you're never going to find fulfillment. - Jason Will There's so much new money to be found when you focus on the process, not the result. - Jason Will I think that we have a job to help people pay their own mortgage. - Diana Will When you show up as a student, you're challenged to think about, to reflect on, to dissect the way you're doing business because we can always get better. - Jason Will The focus of your listing presentation needs not to be focused on promises but proof, provide the proof of your service to showcase who you are. - Jason Will The listing presentation should be all about the buyer. - Jason Will Our job is to find buyers. And using psychology to think about who this buyer's going to be then activating them and bringing them in. - Diana Will I think bringing some transparency to real estate is smart. I think there's a lot of over promise, under deliver in our industry. - Diana Will Let the proof do the talking and stop trying to sell. - Jason Will If 3,000 new agents would have been at Impact One, then we would have 3,000 agents making huge impact in their lives. - Diana Will Your income is a direct reflection of the impact that you're having in your local market. - Jason Will Podcasting is fun. Even though you drug me here on date night. - Diana Will Movement Mortgage LLC supports equal housing opportunity. NMLS 1740691. And my cell phone number's 251-508-1336 if you have any mortgage questions I'd be happy to answer them. - Diana Will

New Orleans, LA - April 11 - 12, 2019 BUY TICKETS HERE Quotable Quotes: On the gravestone, there are two numbers. But the only thing that really counts is the dash in between. And what do we do with that dash. - Lou Vickery Listen to your heart, and there is always a better you in you. - Lou Vickery Your heart will tell you what you need to do. - Lou Vickery Start looking at failure for what it can teach you. It's just a singular event. It doesn't define your whole life. And the only way you're gonna learn how to do anything better is to fail at it. - Jason Will Life offers us plenty of U-turns, if we just take 'em. - Lou Vickery Salespeople tend to beat around the bush. They're scared to ask somebody to do what? To buy. As I call it, "get the yes." You gotta get the yes. You may get 18 nos, but you only need one yes. - Lou Vickery Any type of sales, you should be handing out 500 to 1000 cards a month. I know that's old-school, but you've got to let people know what you do. You have to be excited. First, if you're not excited about it, don't do it. Get out of it. Go find something you'll get excited about. Because you have to be really excited about the business that you're in, particularly in sales. Because it comes through. - Lou Vickery If I had one advice, I'd say, "Quote 'em high and ask 'em to buy." - Lou Vickery Selling is asking. - Jason Will You can't steal second base with one foot on first. - Lou Vickery Jumping up and down, hollering and screaming, creating excitement is one thing. But when you got controlled excitement where you got a game plan to get to the next level. - Lou Vickery If you've got the right attitude, and you got the right skill set, and you know your product, what in the world is to keep you from asking for the sale? - Lou Vickery It takes 65 muscles to frown; it takes only 12 to smile. Why work overtime? - Lou Vickery We strive for perfection, and we settle for excellence. - Lou Vickery I'm a super believer in being a believer. - Lou Vickery ////////////////////////////////// We would like to know what you think about the Agent 251 podcast, especially this episode.

Reviews: Nicholas A. DiNubile, MD, orthopedic surgeon and bestselling author: "#HeySportsParents is the manual that should come with every young athlete. While it would be a great read for the athletes themselves, it is essential reading for their parent/parents, guardian or anyone actively involved with their athletic pursuits. Sharkie Zartman and Dr. Bob Weil, with their extensive combined experience, provide tremendous insights and information that will help optimize both the sports experience and the outcomes for young athletes at every level. They also enlist an impressive group of experts (as well as some seasoned parents) to add even greater perspective on topics like sports nutrition, sports performance, concussion, and sport safety. Coaches too can take a lesson from #HeySportsParents.” Dr. David Lawrence: "… This is the perfect book to give as a gift to anyone whose children participate in sports, regardless of the level of participation. … It has an easy to read layout, a logical progression of great tips and sage advice, is thorough without being complicated, and is filled with terrific cartoons that really drive home the essential points.” Paul Sheitel, DPM, FACFAS: "Two experienced sports experts draw from over seventy years of experience of dealing with young athletes and their parents to bring us a comprehensive look into every concern a parent or young athlete could have concerning their sport. This book should be required reading for parents and athletes already involved in sports or just thinking about participating.” Lou Vickery, talk radio host, retired professional baseball player: "As a former professional athlete, I was intrigued by the wholeness of Sharkie Zartman and Dr. Bob Weil's marvelous book, #HeySportsParents! The sports options today are many and varied, creating a dilemma for parents on several fronts as the authors point out. There are issues of age, time and substance that parents must address in deciding what is best for their kids. Sharkie and Dr. Bob have done a terrific job in addressing these issues and concerns. Any parent who has a youngster participating in, or planning to participate in an organized sport, needs to read #HeySportsParents. Well done." Dr. Sean McMillan, orthopedic sports medicine specialist: "Wading the waters of child participation in sports is one of the most challenging things a parent has to do. Thanks to Dr. Bob and Sharkie and #HeySportsParents, that challenge has become much easier.
