A Minute on Something I’m Learning
Connection and Community matter more than anything else when it comes to getting people to join anything. I was recently told this by one of my mentors. And it’s true. When someone joins a new organization they may have financial reasons for doing so, but the ultimate reason they do is for a sense of connection and community. Are you building that at your organizations?
A Minute on Something I’m Teaching
The five steps to building a real estate business. This is coming out soon in a YouTube series on my personal channel, but here they are:
1- Create value as a solo agent and get 1-2 deals a month.
2- Get some leverage with your first hire which should be an administrative assistant.
3- Get more appointments by hiring an inside sales agent. Get to 4 to 5 deals a month.
4- Start hiring other agents.
5- Hire department leaders and then C-Level executives.

A Minute on Something I’m Excited About
Expansion is coming. In a big way. I’ve always wanted to use my experience and the platforms I have built to help other real estate agents create amazing businesses outside of the DMV. I have launched a partnership with a real estate power couple and will be rolling out in all 50 states and internationally. If you are a real estate agent or know an agent looking to grow, send me an email at dan@livetheorangeline.com to learn more about partnering with me.

A Minute Answering One of Your Questions
This is the part where I answer a question someone has texted me or asked on social media (I answer all Instagram Direct Messages).
“Does the branding of the brokerage matter?“
It didn’t matter much when I started a decade ago. It matters even less today. The branding, marketing and lead generation is all at the team or agent level.
Thanks for tuning in this week!
