You already know that our time on this earth is limited. If that doesn’t give you enough motivation to do the things you need to do, I have another question that might. I want you to get serious for a moment, watch the video, and reflect. Then, let’s get to work. 

Welcome back to Tom Ferry's Outliers Series—where we study the disciplines of agents who are doing extraordinary things.   This week, Tom talks with Ryan Carney – who closed 32 transactions in his very FIRST YEAR as an agent (27 of them from expired listings and FSBOs).    Whether you’re a new agent or an experienced pro looking to level up your game, this is a must-watch episode where you’ll learn: How “The Mirror Effect” is the #1 thing that makes successful agents The 12-hour execution rule that changes everything Why you should be waking up before 4 AM The emotional regulation strategy that keeps him calm in chaos   Ryan didn't come from a warm database. He didn't have years of connections. He built his business through cold calling, discipline, and refusing to negotiate with himself.   But let me give away a major spoiler from the episode… The difference that made the difference for Ryan… It’s Tom Ferry Coaching.   Most agents are grinding without a clear system. They're inconsistent. They lack accountability. And they're one decision away from everything changing.   That's exactly what Tom's Elite Coaching Deal is designed to solve. This is the proven system that's helped thousands of agents go from stuck to unstoppable—with the structure, accountability, and expert guidance that outliers use to win.   This insane deal won’t last long.

After interviewing top performers who just had unbelievable years, they all said the same thing:  “If they can do it, I can do it.” They didn’t reinvent the wheel.

What are you afraid of right now? Not surface-level fear-but the thing you keep pushing down. Most of the time, it's not fear at all. It's shame. It's guilt. It's feeling unworthy. Real confidence isn't hype. It's built by doing hard things consistently. Ask yourself: • What's the worst case? • What's the most likely case? • What's the best case? When you can accept the worst case... you're free. Do the hard thing. Confidence follows.

It’s a new year and a fresh start. In this short Mindset Monday, I’ll show you the #1 thing you need to put in place NOW to seize the days ahead.  Let’s make this your best year ever!
