It's about building a foundation that holds up when things get challenging. If you’re measuring success only by short-term wins, it might be time to reassess.Choose Your Partners Wisely – Who you work with can make or break your momentum. Shawn and Candido talk about the importance of working with people who align with your values and have staying power. Find partners you trust and who bring you long-term value, not just quick deals.Accountability Drives Growth – You don’t need a yes-man; you need people who’ll tell you the truth, even when it stings. Real accountability means surrounding yourself with those who push you past your comfort zone and keep you on track.Adaptability Matters – The market changes, and so should you. Shawn highlights the need to pivot strategies when what worked in the past stops being effective. Staying adaptable in a fluctuating market means re-evaluating and shifting to new approaches.Routine Builds Resilience – Small, consistent habits can fuel your momentum even in tough times. Candido shares the power of setting a daily routine, like getting in steps and listening to a podcast each morning, as a way to start the day with focus and discipline.Quotes:"It’s not about just surviving the market; it’s about redefining what success looks like in each season." "If you go into any interaction with the desire to out-give the person across from you, you’ll leave a mark that sticks." "The best platform is the one where your people actually are – go where they’re already spending their time." "If you're not making each other uncomfortable, it's not an accountability group – it’s just a hangout." "Anyone can have success in a good market, but real character is built by how you navigate the challenges."Show Links:Community Platform: https://products.thecollectivecoaching.com/Social Media:Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheCollectiveCoachings/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheCollectiveCoachingLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/collectivecoaching/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thecollectivecoachingcommunity/

Shane and Kyle break down how your approach to relationships, leadership, and personal commitment can make or break your long-term success. Hear how staying true to your word, embracing tough conversations, and focusing on consistency, authenticity, and honesty are the real keys to thriving—whether you’re building partnerships, motivating a team, or handling client challenges. 01:54 - The Importance of First Impressions05:03 - Choosing the Right Social Media Platform07:05 - Motivating Coworkers and Building Relationships09:02 - Handling Client Disagreements with Empathy10:01 - Role-Playing Scenarios for Real Estate Professionals19:45 - Proving Leadership and Building Trust22:58 - Strategies for Long-Term Entrepreneurial SuccessTakeaways: First Impressions Are Built on Generosity: When meeting someone, focus on understanding their needs and desires rather than pushing your agenda. Approaching every interaction with a mindset to give more than you take will create a lasting and positive impression.Go Where Your Audience Is on Social Media: Don’t try to be everywhere. Instead, focus your energy on the platform where your ideal clients or partners are most active. Whether it’s Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn, knowing where your audience spends their time will help you connect more effectively.Motivation Comes from Connection: You can’t force people to be motivated. Instead, love and support your team or colleagues, and that emotional investment will help drive their best performance. It’s about proximity and showing you care.Deal with Disagreements by Leaning Into Empathy: When conflicts arise, acknowledge the other person’s feelings without trying to fix or diminish them. People need to feel heard and understood, and empathy goes a long way in maintaining strong client relationships.Consistency and Authenticity Lead to Success: Long-term success as an entrepreneur requires showing up consistently and doing the right thing with integrity. Confidence builds through repeated efforts, and having the right people around you for guidance is crucial to staying on track.Quotes:" If we go in with the desire to out give who I'm sitting across from, I'll always leave with a good impression in that person's head."" I don't work with agents. I have preferred partners, and my preferred partners get treated like preferred partners." " You can't manufacture confidence out of thin air. It comes through doing the right thing, the right way, with the right frequency."Show Links:Community Platform: https://products.thecollectivecoaching.com/Social Media:Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/itsthecollectivecoaching/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheCollectiveCoachingLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/collectivecoaching/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thecollectivecoachingcommunity/

Living and Leading with Integrity
Shane and Kyle have a real, unfiltered conversation about what integrity really means—beyond just being honest with others. They talk about how being true to yourself, even when no one’s watching, is just as crucial. With personal stories and real talk, you’ll be challenged to think about where you might be cutting corners and how to show up more authentically in every part of your life. Whether it’s in business, with your family, or in your personal commitments, this episode is a call to lead with real integrity.00:00 - Introduction: The Conversation Around Integrity03:13 - Defining Integrity: Who Are You When No One's Watching?06:09 - The Importance of Integrity with Oneself11:28 - Practical Tips for Operating with Integrity in Business14:49 - Saying No and Being Transparent: Key Aspects of Integrity18:10 - Embracing Imperfection and Self-Criticism for Personal GrowthTakeaways: Integrity Starts with You: It's not just about being honest with others; it's about keeping the promises you make to yourself. If you can’t trust yourself to follow through, how can you expect others to trust you?Be True in Every Aspect: Integrity isn't just about what you do when others are watching. It's about who you are when no one’s around. Reflect on whether you're showing up consistently, both in your personal and professional life. Small Dishonesties Add Up: A little dishonesty here and there might seem harmless, but it can lead to bigger issues down the line. By staying true to your word, even in the small things, you set a solid foundation for bigger successes.It's Okay to Say No: Sometimes, integrity means turning down opportunities that don't align with your values or where you can't provide the best service. Being honest about your limits can lead to stronger, more genuine relationships. Embrace Imperfection: Recognize that you’re not perfect, and that’s okay. Being open about your flaws and working on them is where true growth happens. It’s about progress, not perfection.Quotes:"Integrity isn't just about what you do when others are watching. It's about who you are when no one’s around.""If you can’t be a man or woman of your word to yourself, how are you going to do it for others?" "If my goal is to serve people, there's always going to be somebody that I'm not best suited to serve." "Being comfortable knowing that you're not perfect is where you build your integrity, branding, and good habits.""Perfection, which is impossible, starts with telling the truth and refining yourself."

Innovation vs. Adoption
Shane and Kyle talk about the difference between true innovation and simply following trends. They explore how to stay focused on what really drives results, rather than getting lost in the noise of new ideas. If you've been holding onto a big idea or struggling to make it happen, this episode gives you the motivation to get started and make those ideas count. 00:00 - The Role of Innovation in the Mortgage Industry07:22 - Defining Innovation and Avoiding Mere Adoption09:41 - The Importance of Effective Adoption and Execution14:52 - The Benefits of Having a Team and Seeking Input19:02 - Taking Action on Ideas and Joining the AI SprintTakeaways: Innovation vs. Adoption: It’s easy to get caught up in chasing the latest trends, but it’s more effective to focus on adopting and refining what already works for your business. Not everything new is better; sometimes, it’s about making the existing strategies your own.Execution Over Ideas: You might have a lot of great ideas, but if you’re not executing them, they’re not helping you. Set aside time for innovation, but make sure the bulk of your day is dedicated to putting proven strategies into action. Use AI to Your Advantage: If you’re feeling stretched thin, consider leveraging AI tools. They can help you handle tasks more efficiently, even if you don’t have a big team behind you. AI isn’t just for tech giants; it’s something you can use to stay ahead.Build a Support Network: Don’t try to do everything on your own. Having a group of peers or accountability partners can help you refine your strategies and keep you focused on what really matters. Take Action Now: If there’s an idea or strategy you’ve been thinking about for a while, stop waiting and start doing. Whether it’s small steps or a bigger leap, the key is to begin.Quotes:"Innovation is a drug that has a diminishing return. Every time you use it, you have to do more to feel like you're getting the same return." "If I'm using AI because I see my competitors using AI, I'm not really an innovator, I'm an adopter.""Block out innovation time on your calendar, but also have adoption time for executing proven ideas." "You can't always have conversations with yourself. You need others to help you refine your adoptions and innovations."
