Accountability Standards for Your Growing Real Estate Business

Great Leaders Don’t Tell You What To Do. They Show You How It’s Done.

Can anyone be a leader? A leader pushes themselves and the people around them to their potential and beyond with encouragement and guidance. If you’re a great influencer, I would say you’re a leader! I have noticed in my experience as a leader that many agents haven’t even reached their potential and they have already put a lid on themselves. I read this great book called, The 21 Laws of Leadership, by John Maxwell (Maxwell, 2007). For those not familiar with that reference, read chapter 1, “Law of the Lid.” This chapter will help you understand the “Law of the Lid” and the value of leadership. People tend to put a “lid on” or limit their potential, and as leaders, we contribute to determining that lid. We can demonstrate, encourage and influence to increase the overall lid and success of the business. In other words, you decide how far the lid is placed on that scale and how far you’re willing to push it.

When having your own business, you have to raise the lid. We’ve got to improve our skills daily to have better outcomes within the business. I’ll be honest, some people are born with higher lids than others, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t improve, get better, truly EXCEL. You can increase your lid; your God-given gifts are there, and you can improve upon those gifts with education, training, diligence and with having or being a great leader. You have to do what it takes, and you can do it!

What is the best way to lead people? What do you think it is? In my opinion, a great way to lead is by example, which means, you’ve got to be willing to do the work that you’re trying to get other people to do.

Now, go out and Raise that Lid for yourself and those around you, and your business will thrive! Go Serve Big!

Are you tired of grinding out deals, chasing cold leads, and feeling like your business owns you instead of the other way around?

Who We Are Built For

From The Author & Billion-Dollar Agent

I built this blog for the broker-owner who’s been holding everything together for years—and knows it’s not sustainable.

If that’s you, I get it. This isn’t another set of “10 tips to grow your brokerage.” This is about doing real business differently—with the structure, clarity, and confidence that comes from a proven system that actually works.

Everything here comes from the real-world experience of people who’ve made the leap—brokers who now run profitable, sellable businesses that don’t fall apart when they take a vacation or think about retirement.

If you’re ready to stop being the glue and start building the asset, welcome.

Your Real Estate Business Is Probably Worth $0 (Here’s How to Fix That)

Most brokerages are just glorified jobs with overhead. The moment you step away, the income stops.

Todd Walters built and sold his real estate business for millions—during the 2009 crash. Now he’s sharing the exact blueprint that’s helped broker-owners increase their income by 200–1000% while working fewer hours.
