Episode Overview In this candid, behind-the-scenes conversation, John Kitchens sits down with top-producing agent and entrepreneur Bryan Colquitt to explore what it really takes to design a real estate business—and a life—that align with your deepest priorities. From dismantling a thriving team of nine agents to rebuild as a highly profitable solo agent, Bryan shares why chasing status nearly cost him his freedom, and how clarity, boundaries, and saying “no” reshaped everything. If you've ever felt the pressure to grow bigger, do more, and be everywhere—this episode is your permission slip to step back, get intentional, and build a business that serves your life, not the other way around. What You'll Learn in This Episode Key #1: Redefining Success Why “freedom” beats “status” every time How becoming a parent forced Bryan to re-evaluate everything The non-negotiables that guide every business decision now Key #2: Letting Go of the Ego How to step away from a big team without burning bridges Why comparison is the thief of joy—and how to stop chasing someone else's dream Removing the fear of “what will people think?” when making big changes Key #3: Lean, Profitable Operations Running a high-margin business as a solo agent How Bryan's mornings and evenings are structured for presence at home The “main thing” that keeps business moving every day (hint: conversations) Key #4: Navigating a “Have-To” Market Why most real estate decisions right now are emotional, not logical How to uncover the real “why” behind a client's move Serving as an advisor—not just a salesperson—even when it means telling clients to wait Key #5: Trust Over Transactions Building long-term relationships through transparency and empathy Setting boundaries with clients while elevating the service experience How emotional intelligence creates referrals and repeat business in any market Tools & Resources Mentioned Traction by Gino Wickman – for operational clarity Coldwell Banker Advantage – Bryan's brokerage partner Sphere & Database Marketing – Bryan's primary lead source strategy Final Takeaway Success isn't about the size of your team, the number of transactions, or the title on your business card. It's about designing a business that fuels your perfect day, protects your time, and gives you the freedom to be fully present where it matters most. Bryan Colquitt's journey proves that stepping back can be the boldest move forward. “You have to say no to the wrong things so you can say yes to the right life.” – Bryan Colquitt Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach   If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

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.
