Why Top Agents Always Think They Need 2-3x More Money
About this episode
Most agents are running the wrong race. They're chasing somebody else's number, comparing themselves to the agent in the next office, and quietly wondering why hitting the goal didn't feel the way it was supposed to.
In this conversation, we get into the trap of borrowed visions. A study by Michael Norton found that millionaires at every income level say they'd need two to three times more money to be happy, and that number never stops moving.
We unpack why that happens, what Sahil Bloom's Five Types of Wealth gets right about the disconnect, why trying to be the next Ryan Serhant or Gary Vee might not be the right aspiration, and how some agents are winning at the only race that matters.
We also get into what we believe is the fix. Added bonus, when you do this work upfront, the business stops feeling like a treadmill and starts fueling the life you actually want. It comes down to building your own vision first, in real detail, before you set a single income goal. Happiness leads, success follows.
Your business should fuel your life, not consume it.
