Episode 45: If You Are Frustrated, You Are Right On Track To Create Success

On today’s episode, Jerry and Jacobe are going to talk to Brent Gove. He has an infectious attitude and personality, but he has a way of making you feel as though you are his best friend, and he is just a real inspiration! Brent got out of college and got into sales by the time he was 30. He has been in real estate for about 26 years. He entered EXP over five years ago and it was just life-changing. Don’t miss his story today.

 

Episode Highlights:

• Jacobee asks Brent, “When we say success without sacrifice, we don’t mean that you can’t have success without sacrificing something. But we do want you to have success without sacrificing the things you love the most. So, when you hear success without sacrifice, what comes to mind for you?”
• Most people work seven days a week or 18 hours a day at their small business, and they sacrifice their relationship with their family and health.
• When people sacrifice their family, finances, health, and faith, it’s tragic. They all are super important. Also, getting a spiritual part of life by communing with God is essential, says Brent.
• We usually get focused on our job, making money, and doing all good things, but what about our health?
• Brent did many odd jobs before climbing the corporate ladder, and he learned to eat fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with banana slices.
• Many people chose Chico State for their engineering program or nursing program, but Brent chose it because it would be the number one place to have a good time.
• When Brent was too hot and heavy in real estate, he and his wife went out on Friday night because on Saturday and Sunday he was a weekend warrior doing multiple open houses.
• Value your faith and your family above the business things. Live your life by your calendar, and don’t be a wandering generality… be a meaningful specific, says Brent.
• Knowledge brings power to changes. You can’t sit watching TV and ask why there are problems in your life. The problem is you, and only you are the solution. So start reading books about parenting, relationship, and finances to increase knowledge.
• Jacobe just read a book called Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters by Meg Meeker, and he will say everything has changed in his relationship with his daughter.
• A salesperson at a diamond, clothing, or electronics store tries to tune into us, asking what we need help with and trying to understand us. So they’re fully present, and they are connecting with us, and that’s how we do business, says Brent.
• Frustration is a precursor to change to succeed, and when you are miserable, you are in big trouble. If you are frustrated, you are right on track.
• If you read books, do podcasts, watch healthy stuff on YouTube, and surround yourself with positive people, you become an optimistic and good person.
• Many people are afraid of making mistakes, but it is ok to make mistakes. Making mistakes is how you live a great life because you learn from it. So if you are not making mistakes, you aren’t getting an impactful life, says Brent. 

 

3 Key Points:

1. Failure is a prerequisite to success. You need to fail 2-3 times a day because if you only do it once every six months, you forget the lessons, suggests Brent.
2. Brent has been married 30 years, yet he had a massive hiccup in his marriage. Ten years ago, he was faithful, and his wife was faithful, but he wasn’t paying attention, and he had a big problem for about ten months, which was extremely painful.
3. If you are looking to grow from a business standpoint, start listening to Ziglar tapes and learning about pumping the pump and having faith, suggests Brent.
