Replacing the GCI mindset with a profitable business mindset: Kathleen Black

“As soon as you're at a place where you're letting leads drop, you're referring leads out to other agents, you're not calling people back and you're not doing followup, then you know, you're already losing money and it's okay, how can I bring this (next) person on...”

When is the right time to expand your business and take on a team member? And what sort of person should you hire?

It’s always great when we get to look beyond our own borders and learn from top performers from around the world.

After selling 47 homes in her first year in the business, Kathleen Black quickly rose to the top in real estate before becoming part of the first team-specific coaching company in Canada, which she went on to purchase (but that is a whole other story!)

Kathleen also shares key tips on when and how to expand your business and this includes vital details on when NOT to branch out. 

She also deep dives into the meaning behind her best-selling book The Top 1% Life and how you can create and pair a happy business life with a happy homelife.
