What happens when a real estate agent makes $150,000 less than the previous year but calls it the best year of their career?

In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Matt and Garrett break down the story of a successful agent who prioritized 11 weeks of vacation over peak production numbers—and why this might be the smartest business decision you'll hear about.

Discover why traditional business planning focused solely on income goals keeps real estate agents trapped in cycles of burnout and why the industry's obsession with annual production numbers misses the bigger picture.

Matt and Garrett reveal their process for harmonizing life goals with business objectives, creating sustainable success that doesn't sacrifice relationships, health, or personal fulfillment.

We get into:

  • Why quarterly business reviews outperform annual planning
  • The hidden cost of making your income your identity
  • How to build "rolling goals" that eliminate the failure mindset
  • Real stories of agents who redefined success on their terms
  • The difference between work-life balance and life-business harmonization
  • Why your affirmations might be sabotaging your happiness

Whether you're a top producer feeling burned out or an agent struggling to find purpose beyond commission checks, this episode challenges everything you think you know about real estate success.
