Kick off 2023 with this Great Opportunity
As we begin 2023, you have already seen the headlines stating the rate of home sales has dropped for the last 10 months in a row. I also saw two recent headlines last week saying that what’s ahead will be worse than it was from 2007-2009.
I’ve have experienced four major downturns since I was first licensed. What’s fascinating to me is that the downturns were the times I had my very best years. Regardless of what the market does, there are always situations where 
people must move, whether they want to or not.
Our good friend Brad McDaniel, the CEO and founder of Likely.Ai, is currently offering their Database Refresh report at NO CHARGE. This report will let you see who in your database sold most recently as well as who their AI’s (artificial intelligence algorithm) says will be most likely to sell in the next 90-180 days.
This tool is fantastic, and I highly urge you to take advantage of this as way to do business while other agents are trying to figure out what to do.
Have a great week and a fantastic 2023!

Two Simple Secrets to Success
As 2022 winds down, this is a great time to take stock of how well you performed this year, what worked, what didn’t work, as well as evaluating the goals you set for your personal well-being as well as family and/or other loved ones. 
Before the end of the year, take 15 to 20 minutes to go through where each of your deals originated as well as their geographical location. Then ask yourself, “What can I do to get more business in these areas and from these types of clients?”
Next, jot down 5-10 of your favorite memories from 2022. What did you do, where did you go, and who were you with? Plan on spending more time doing those types of fun things in 2023.
The simple secret of success is to focus on growing using your strengths and spending as much time in your personal life doing what you love to do. It’s the best way to build your business now and to have a great personal life throughout 2023.
Are You Worth $1.86 Per Week?
2023 is going to be a tough year for almost everyone in the real estate industry. The difference between top producers who succeed and those who will see their business decline significantly is training. At every event where I have ever
spoken, the top producers in the room are almost always in the first few rows. Their approach is, “If I can find one idea or strategy that will give me a competitive advantage, it was worth being here.”
In addition to RealClues, our Premium Membership Program includes an additional 52 articles per year, our weekly radio show podcast with top performers and experts from across the entire real estate industry, plus our audio training library that has over 300 6-to-10-minute audio training segment packed with thousands of useful tips and strategies to keep your business strong no matter what the market does. Best of all, it’s only $1.86 per week ($97.00 per year). Aren’t you worth it?
How to Stay Healthy During the Holidays
Have you noticed how many people are sick around holiday time? In addition to their regular work, people are shopping, going to parties, and generally trying to squeeze too much in too little time. To make sure that you stay healthy this
holiday season, begin by getting your full 7-8 hours of sleep every night.
To reduce your stress, leave a little early for your appointments. If you arrive early, listen to your favorite music that makes you want to snap your fingers and tap your feet. This releases beta-endorphins that strengthen your immune system and reduce Cortisol. (Cortisol is the stress hormone that makes you susceptible to illness.)
Finally, eat well (but not too much), schedule time off for you, and laugh often. That’s the best way to have a terrific holiday season and to keep those nasty bugs and viruses away.
