I was honored to join Mark Graban on his My Favorite Mistake podcast. Over the past 42 years, I’ve had my share of wins, losses, and “ties.” Some of the hardest losses taught me the most important lessons. One of the biggest mistakes I made was putting too many eggs in one basket. That misstep nearly ended my business — but it also forced me to pivot, rethink my model, and ultimately build something much stronger. In this conversation, I share: ✅ How Benchmark Realty grew from just 5 agents to nearly 2,000 ✅ The dangers of “scrambling” vs. the discipline of scaling ✅ Why your only real competitor is the person you see in the mirror each morning If my journey can help one entrepreneur avoid a pitfall or see failure as part of the path forward, then it’s worth telling. 🎧 You can listen to the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/e__wYYJH
