Welcome to another episode of The Inner Game of Real Estate Success, with the high-performance hypnotherapist and mindset coach Paul Salter. What if your attachment to outcomes isn't driving success—but silently sabotaging your growth, your health, and your relationships? In this episode, Paul explores how high-performing entrepreneurs and real estate professionals fall into the trap of tying their identity to results—and why it leads to stress, false urgency, scarcity-driven decisions, and burnout. You'll learn how childhood wiring fuels this obsession, why results always lag behind execution, and how an attachment to outcomes keeps you stuck in volatility instead of growth. Listen in to discover the danger of managing your self-worth by the scoreboard, how to shift from results-orientation to process-orientation, and the mindset frameworks that allow you to detach from outcomes while staying fully committed to execution.

R. Kenner French opens the conversation by framing Dean Rogers as a “hands-on” real estate coach who truly guides students through deals end to end. Dean immediately sets the tone: there's no “easy button” in real estate—like any worthwhile business, results come from consistent work. What differentiates his program, he says, is direct access: instead of being handed off to junior coaches, students learn from him personally and interact with him frequently.Dean then shares his backstory to explain his approach. A former NFL player with the San Diego Chargers, he describes a career built on coaching, structure, and repetition. Ironically, when he first entered real estate a decade ago, he tried to go it alone—telling himself asking for help would look weak. That mindset cost him years and money through rushed decisions and painful mistakes. Once he embraced mentorship, masterminds, and proven playbooks, his outcomes accelerated dramatically.On value for aspiring investors, Dean emphasizes two pillars: focus and guidance. He argues the best foundation is wholesaling because it trains the two most critical skills—finding motivated sellers and negotiating excellent deals—without the capital intensity and time lag of flipping or landlording. He illustrates this with a recent wholesale where his team earned $90,000 without swinging a hammer, showing how strong acquisition and negotiation can inject quick cash back into the business.Dean's coaching model is deliberately high-touch. Students get his complete operating system: training modules, contracts, processes, negotiation scripts, and marketing strategies. More importantly, they get him—live group calls several times a week for deal analysis, marketing reviews, role-plays, and problem-solving, plus his personal cell for timely questions. That access creates accountability and momentum; students reach out, show up, and implement rather than just consume information.Dean laid out precise steps, connected him to the right escrow officer, and guided execution. Thirty minutes before auction, the sale was postponed; the student wholesaled the property and earned $25,000. Dean highlights that beyond tactics, the real advantage is fast problem-solving, clear direction, and a supportive community that celebrates wins and shares resources and connections.To close, both Dean and Kenner stress mindset and environment: there is no single “silver bullet,” and success isn't reserved for any one background. Progress comes from consistent work, the right guidance, and surrounding yourself with people on the same path.Takeaways• Dean emphasizes the importance of hard work in real estate.• He believes in a hands-on approach to coaching.• Seeking help is crucial for success in real estate.• Community support enhances accountability and growth.• Wholesaling is a foundational strategy for new investors.• Real-life case studies illustrate the effectiveness of coaching.• Motivated sellers are key to successful real estate deals.• Dean provides all necessary contracts and systems to his students.• Implementation of knowledge is often the missing piece.• Success in real estate requires consistent effort and the right guidance.Sound Bites• You can go to you, you'll handhold them.• I give all my students my cell phone.• He ended up making $25,000 on that deal.Listen & Subscribe for More:

This season we've unpacked the systems and mindsets that help real estate agents thrive no matter if the market is up, down, or somewhere in between. In this episode, I'm tying it all together with a blueprint for long-term success.We'll cover:The systems every agent needs - lead generation, nurturing, time management, investing in yourself, and working efficiently. The mindset shifts that make the difference - treating real estate as a career, committing to lifelong learning, and always revisiting your “why.”How systems and mindset fuel each other to create a business that's built to last.Whether you're brand new to real estate or you've been in the business for years, this episode will remind you of the fundamentals that never change — and challenge you to commit to the long game.Quote from Mount Analogue"You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know."Follow Courtney on her socials:FacebookInstagramLinkedInTikTokwww.CourtneyMKing.com/podcast

When sportscaster Jay Colley steps up to the microphone for William & Mary games, he arrives early and meticulously prepared – the same principles that have kept him in the top 3% of realtors across the country in production. His journey from broadcasting booths to the real estate arena reveals powerful success strategies that work in any market.Success leaves clues, and Colley's four-decade career provides a masterclass in fundamentals. "Be on time, be mentally and physically prepared and you'll be ahead of 90% of your competition," he explains. This disciplined approach built his broadcasting reputation across Nashville, Charlotte, and Rochester before he found his permanent home with William & Mary's Tribe and the real estate industry.The transformation from solo agent to team leader didn't happen overnight. Starting informally by mentoring new agents, Colley built a proper team structure after his son-in-law joined the business in 2017. Today, his team provides the responsive service modern clients demand – something impossible to deliver consistently as a solo agent in fast-moving markets.Perhaps most compelling is Colley's "bird dog" strategy – nurturing 10 key relationships that consistently generate referrals. His reward system? Delivering fresh-baked brownies to their workplaces, creating additional exposure when curious coworkers inquire about the treats. "They've done their job by giving you a name and number," Colley explains, emphasizing that he recognizes referrals regardless of whether they close.His approach to pricing reveals equal wisdom. Using a two-step listing process that incorporates both preliminary research and in-depth property analysis, Colley provides sellers with realistic price ranges. By asking about timeline preferences on a scale of 1-10, he aligns pricing strategy with seller motivation. "The best agent can't sell an overpriced home, and the worst agent can sell an underpriced home," he reminds us.Ready to elevate your real estate business?

Keeping it Real Podcast • Chicago REALTORS ® • Interviews With Real Estate Brokers and Agents
Welcome to our new series, The Inner Game of Real Estate Success, with the high-performance hypnotherapist and mindset coach Paul Salter. What if the frustration, inconsistency, and self-sabotage you're experiencing in business aren't random—but the result of outdated subconscious programs running the show? In this episode, Paul breaks down what destructive mindset programs are, why they form, and how they silently shape your results. You'll learn how these hidden patterns fuel fear, doubt, and sabotage—and why your mind clings to them, even when they no longer serve you. Paul also shares a personal story about how fear and anxiety around money kept him stuck - for years - and how hypnosis helped him dismantle those beliefs. We'll separate myth from science and explore how hypnosis works to rewire your subconscious, unlock better performance, and create real, lasting change.
