Your Models Matter

But for now, I want to bring everyone into the Advance conversation.

Here's what Advance is about.

Advance is a high-level business planning event.

You don't necessarily sit and type in your numbers.

You can type in your numbers on the flight home.

In fact, those of you that are at Advance, I emailed you the link to that tool yesterday, so you can do it on your flight home.

It'll, it'll take no time at all for you to go through and do that.

But I want you to have the right perspective about how to do the numbers and what to put in.

And then we wanted to give you the ideas of the mental, just the, the mental strength that's gonna be required to get through a market like this, how you approach it from an attitude and energy piece, and that's what Valerie Burton covered for us.

And then we did, on Monday and Tuesday both, different just little strategy segments.

I want those of you who were there to share some takeaways.

Want those of you who were there to, to share some takeaways.

I also have an ask for everybody who's on the call this morning who was at Advance, and I'm gonna put a link in the chat.

I need your help this morning.

The link I'm gonna drop in the chat is a link to my, uh, a post I put this morning on my Instagram.

It's also on my Facebook.

If you were at Advance and could go comment on it, link's in the chat right now, or if you just open your Instagram and go to @JamesDShaw, @JamesDShaw on Instagram, you'll see the post that I posted this morning about how important it is to be part of a community that's focused.

Would you go just a quick comment of a takeaway, a lesson, some sort of aha that you had, and let's fill those comments up.

Here's why.

Most agents are not optimistic about their business in this market.

We did the survey.

We got nearly 500 results, and it's overwhelming that a majority of agents are not optimistic.

But when we go and put the data compared to those of you that come to our stuff, a majority of agents who come to our events are optimistic.

So let's help spread the optimism based on what you learned at Advance.

So if you will go to my Instagram, @JamesDShaw, I'm asking everybody who was at Advance to go to my Instagram, you can also do it on my Facebook, @JamesDShaw, and just share a takeaway or two, that would be awesome.
