Most new agents don’t fail because they’re lazy. They fail because they don’t know what they don’t know.

In this episode, Mike & Rachael pull back the curtain on the 10 mistakes new agents make in their first 5 years—mistakes that crush momentum, kill consistency, and keep agents broke.

We’re not sugarcoating.
We’re not theory-talking.
We’re dropping raw, tactical truth from coaching hundreds of agents nationwide.

You’ll discover:

Why “flexibility” is killing your career before it starts.
The single fastest way to scale from 10 deals a year to 50+.
The mindset shift that turns $25/hour grind into $500/hour leverage.
How to lock in your schedule, dominate income-producing activities, and finally build a business that lasts.
Why not staying in touch with past clients is financial suicide.

This isn’t motivational fluff. This is a wake-up call. If you’re in real estate and want to avoid the traps that take out 87% of agents, this episode is your survival guide.

Listen now, take notes, and get to work.
