Send me a message The One Skill That Changes EverythingEvery agent thinks success comes from tactics: the right script, a viral video, or nailing that open house. But that's not what separates the average from the top 1%. The agents who dominate their markets all have one thing in common.It's not lead gen. It's not branding. It's not even marketing.It's confidence.Confidence is the multiplier. It's what makes every tactic you already know actually work. When you walk into a listing presentation, when you record that video, when you negotiate on behalf of your client—confidence is what makes people trust you and hire you. And here's the best part: it's not something you're born with. Confidence is a skill, and you can build it.In this episode, I'll break down exactly how to do it. Tactical, step-by-step, no fluff.You'll Learn: • Why clients hire certainty over anything else • The fastest ways to build confidence even if you're brand new • How stacking small wins rewires your brain • Why role play and rehearsal give you an unfair advantage • How to reframe rejection so it fuels you instead of cripples you • The confidence hacks that pro athletes use that you can stealThis isn't another motivational pep talk. It's a blueprint to actually become the confident agent who wins more business.***********************RESOURCES :Forward Together SLC Event - October 6th: A production-focused event by agents, for agents.

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother's Son podcast, I talk with, Jon Sexton. This is the first interview that I've recorded with a guest that wasn't Sandy or Alex since late May of this year.  I have to tell you – Alaska and Canada were incredible, but it sure is good to be back sharing the stories of the many little people in many little places that are doing all of those many little things that make the whole world change! Jon and I talk about his entrepreneurial journey.  It started on the tennis and basketball courts and other athletic venues of Visalia, California and has now landed him as the host of the TV show, Selling Nashville.  Jon's journey, like so many other entrepreneurs took a few twists and turns along the way.  He originally relocated to Nashville to pursue a career in music.  In order to not fall into the “starving artist” category, he used some of the leadership skills and life lessons that he learned from sports to get into the health club and gym industry.  What initially started as a way to simply help make ends meet while he pursued his music career, eventually turned into another passion and eventually ownership of his own health club and gym business.  While running his business, he started investing in real estate, which eventually led to him securing his real estate license and heading up his own team of agents. Now, in the realm of Greater Nashville's real estate market, Jon stands as a distinguished figure, acclaimed for his exemplary achievements and unwavering commitment to excellence. As mentioned previously, Jon is the host for the television show, Selling Nashville, which can be seen on HGTV, Apple TV, Travel Channel and more. Renowned as an award-winning Realtor, Jon has garnered accolades such as the title of "Best Real Estate Agent" in Williamson County and the distinction of being named a "Top Real Estate Agent" by both the Nashville Scene and his team, NASHVILLE HOME, which shares the recognition of "Best Real Estate Team" in Williamson County. With an impressive national ranking of #55 and a prominent position as #1 in Tennessee, Jon holds the coveted title of Top Agent in Davidson County, Nashville Metro, and Williamson County, underscored by his steadfast dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction. Elevating his status further, Jon is an exclusive member of REALM, a prestigious global organization comprised solely of the top 1% of luxury agents worldwide, a testament to his unparalleled expertise and distinguished service. Endorsed by financial guru Dave Ramsey as a Trusted Local Provider, Jon's reputation for integrity and excellence is further solidified. In Jon's own words, "It is an honor to be one of the select few Realtors trusted by Dave Ramsey and Ramsey Solutions. I am excited to continue to guide and serve those in need in being assisted and educated in the home buying and selling process." Beyond his remarkable achievements in real estate, Jon has also established himself as one of Nashville's foremost entrepreneurs over the past decade. Recognized as a standout figure in the entrepreneurial landscape, Jon was bestowed with the title of "Top 50 Entrepreneurs in Tennessee" by Business Leader's magazine and was identified as one of the "Top 10 Entrepreneurs to Look Out For" by Disruptors Magazine. Jon's attitude revolves around the belief that success is not merely measured by accomplishments but by the satisfaction and results of his clients. He attributes his greatest strength to having "the heart of a teacher" and a genuine concern for the well-being of those he serves, ensuring that their needs and desires are met with utmost dedication and care.
