Episode 37: What Would You Commit To If Your Family Was At Stake?

On today’s episode, Jerry and Jacobe interview Stacie Peterson. She owns a real estate business and lives in Sioux Falls. Stacie started real estate in 2002, straight out of college. She shares her inspirational journey of balancing the aspects of life and prioritizing what matters most. Don’t miss it!

 

Episode Highlights: 

• Stacie started a real estate business in 2002 with a team of five other people, and they shared services, so it wasn’t a traditional team. They shared an admin and put their listings in the real estate book but sold a lot of real-estate.
• Stacie started coaching with a company, and they were teaching team building or how to have other people help you do the things you do.
• Jacobe asks Stacie, “Once you got to that point, or you started to change your  thinking that success was all about your job.. When did you think there was a need to change something and then how did you make that shift or transition from there?” 
• When you’re at home, you are thinking about business, and when you are at the business, you are guilting yourself of all the things that you are not doing with your family.
• You have to have some humility for yourself because there is who you are in your nature.
• Stacie met Lars Hedenborg, who became her coach, and then worked with him at the real estate B school.
• In Stacie’s real estate career, 70% of her clients were engineers. 
• Stacie loves to help people and takes it very personally to fulfill her role.
• As entrepreneurs, sometimes it is really difficult to ask for help and then when you are asking somebody who is not a coach for help, that is even different.
• Stacie gives advice about how to say yes and how to say say no to all the wrong things, and so that you will have pure commitments
• Jacobe asks, “When you worked with Lars, did you already have an idea of what you needed to?”
• When Stacie started working with Lars she started to realize that a business wasn’t as much about the people as the underlying infrastructure and not that the people weren’t important, but a business is the foundation of something.
• Stacie talks about how she transitioned to find Lars and got her business more on track.
• Lars showed me the problems that he was having with his team, and it’s the same thing that I see with teams all around the country, says Stacie.
• eXp offers you multiple ways to earn income as well as grow your business, says Stacie.
• When people are passionate about something, they are going to talk about it a lot, and so you hear that a lot because that is changing people’s lives, says Stacie.

 

3 Key Points:

1. Stacie reveals what success without sacrifice means to her. Stacie initially thought success was money and status, but now she knows that success without sacrifice means “Not giving myself up in the process of what I ultimately determine is success for my life.” 
2. Many times, realtors, maybe even women especially, take on a lot of personal responsibility for things, says Stacie.
3. Stacie has seen all the pieces of a successful team and successful business, but for some reason, nothing feels like a well-oiled machine. It feels like we are recreating the wheel every single day.
