    Ask The Right Questions | Monday Morning Pep Talk Episode # 277
    Apr 27 2025
    Welcome to Episode 277 of Monday Morning Pep Talk. This week is about clarity — how to find it faster and use it with purpose. For over a decade, I’ve been disciplined about planning and goal setting. But even with structure, I sometimes struggled to lock into clarity during my daily and weekly sessions. I was asking good questions — but not the right one. 👉 Then I found it — a question that now anchors my daily, weekly, and quarterly rhythm. 🧠 The Power of the Right Question: 📌 “If I were looking back on today/week/quarter, what would have to have happened — personally and professionally — for me to feel like I made meaningful progress?” Simple. Practical. A sledgehammer for focus. 📆 Daily | 🗓 Weekly | 📊 Quarterly This mindset — rooted in the 3-Year Vision philosophy from Strategic Coach — creates clarity that compounds over time. I break it all down in this episode and show you how to apply it across your entire business. 💼 For You, the Advisor: • Your outreach feels scattered • You're not sure where to start reconnecting • Your pipeline needs energy — and momentum You don’t need to do more. You need to start with better questions — to yourself and to your clients. 🔁 Your Reconnection Strategy: ✅ Leave a message or text: “I have a quick market update I think you’ll want to hear. Call me when you have a minute.” ✅ When they call back, say: “It’s been five years since COVID shifted the market. Based on the data, your home is likely worth between X and Y.” ✅ Then ask: “How is your home performing for you?” That single question opens the door to meaningful conversations — without sounding like a salesperson. Listen for life changes, log notes, follow up. Repeat across your Top 100. 🧘‍♂️ Composure isn’t passive. It’s practiced. 🛠️ This Episode Will Help You: ✅ Ask the right questions to unlock clarity ✅ Build a repeatable reconnection framework ✅ Turn small daily wins into quarterly momentum ✅ Reset your mindset with one powerful question ✅ Strengthen consistency — even during busy seasons 💬 Ask Yourself: Are you taking time to plan with intention? Are you clear on what “progress” looks like today? Are you showing up strong — or stuck in the noise? 📈 The momentum you want is on the other side of better questions. . 🔗 Stay Connected with Jim Miller: 📩 Join My Weekly Email → www.askjimmiller.com 📺 Subscribe on YouTube → www.youtube.com/@AskJimMiller 📲 Follow on Instagram → www.instagram.com/askjimmiller 🔗 Connect on LinkedIn → www.linkedin.com/in/jimmillerchicago

    📺 IN A RUT? Here’s What Works | Monday Morning Pep Talk Episode # 276
    Apr 20 2025
    Welcome to Episode 276 of Monday Morning Pep Talk. This week, we’re going deep on a truth every top performer knows — you’re only as strong as your recovery. Whether you're an elite athlete or a high-performing advisor, setbacks are part of the game. What separates the best? It’s not just talent. It’s not just discipline. 👉 It’s the ability to mentally reset and move forward — fast. Research confirms what we’ve seen in sports: The highest achievers don’t just recover physically. 🧠 They recover mentally. 🎾 What the Greats Do Differently: 📌 Serena Williams resets with rituals — every serve, every match. 📌 Rafael Nadal adjusts his socks to signal a mental reboot. 📌 Tiger Woods treats each shot as a clean slate. 📌 Michael Jordan used failure as fuel. 📌 Simone Biles stepped back, reset, and returned stronger. These aren’t quirks. They’re intentional resets, practiced to protect performance. 🧘‍♂️ Composure isn’t passive. It’s practiced. 💼 For You, the Advisor: • A listing fell through • A deal collapsed • A long-term client ghosted So what. That moment is over. The next one is waiting. Dragging setbacks into your next appointment? That’s what kills momentum. 🔁 Reset Process: ✅ Acknowledge — briefly ✅ Analyze — don’t dwell ✅ Adjust — if needed ✅ Advance — no residue This is how you stay sharp, protect your energy, and perform. 💬 Ask Yourself: Do you have reset rituals? Are you letting one moment take over your week? Are you ready for what’s next — or stuck on what just happened? You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to reset and keep showing up. 🛠️ This Episode Will Help You: ✅ Build mental reset habits ✅ Reframe failure into momentum ✅ Strengthen your focus under pressure ✅ Avoid the snowball of setbacks ✅ Perform with clarity, even when things feel heavy 🌪️ The world feels intense right now... Real estate is one of the most emotional decisions people make. Now more than ever, your clarity matters. This message is a reset — a reminder that showing up, despite everything, is winning. 🔄 The New Normal Requires a New Response: ✅ Lean in ✅ Accept what is ✅ Outwork the noise ✅ Take more shots on goal ✅ Keep your pipeline 1.5–2x your GCI target 🧭 My Professional Purpose: I coach full-service, full-fee advisors to optimize productivity and become the best version of themselves. Why? Because Happy Advisors Sell More Real Estate. 🎧 Treat this like a 1-on-1 coaching session. 🔁 Replay it when you need it. 💡 Let it remind you who you are — and why you’re built for this. 🔗 Stay Connected with Jim Miller: 📩 Weekly Email → www.askjimmiller.com 📺 YouTube → www.youtube.com/@AskJimMiller 📲 Instagram → www.instagram.com/askjimmiller 🔗 LinkedIn → www.linkedin.com/in/jimmillerchicago

  • FIDUCIARY: What It Really Means | Monday Morning Pep Talk Episode 275

    FIDUCIARY: What It Really Means | Monday Morning Pep Talk Episode 275
    Apr 13 2025
    Welcome to Episode 275 of Monday Morning Pep Talk. This week, we are going deep on a word that gets tossed around a lot in real estate—but rarely lived out: fiduciary. FIDUCIARY: What It Really Means It sounds powerful. It sounds professional. But most advisors using the word aren’t actually showing up that way in their day-to-day business. Too many agents are functioning as facilitators—not fiduciaries. They’re taking orders, moving people from step to step, doing what’s easy—not what’s right. And clients? They can feel it. 📌 A facilitator helps. 📌 A fiduciary leads. A true fiduciary puts the client’s interest first—even when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, or costly. Especially then. In this episode, I break down: ✅ Why most agents default to “suitability” thinking—and why that’s not enough ✅ The subtle ways clients know when you’re faking it ✅ What separates a true advisor from an order-taker ✅ Why trust—not likability—is the real currency that compounds ✅ How to build a business around referrals by earning trust daily Ask Yourself This: If you got paid nothing on a deal, would your advice change? If the answer is yes, you’re not advising. You’re selling. That’s the hard truth—and the standard we all need to hold ourselves to if we want to build something long-term. This episode is your invitation to shift from transactional thinking to transformational service—to be a fiduciary not just in name, but in action. Are You Earning Trust Every Day? 🔹 Do your clients feel safe, or sold to? 🔹 Are you showing up to impress—or to guide? 🔹 Are you willing to lose a deal to protect your client’s future? Trust is built through behavior. It’s earned in quiet moments—when no one is watching, and there’s no commission on the line. In real estate, your legacy is not built on sales. It’s built on service. The Standard Has Been Raised. If you want to stand out in this market, it won’t come from louder marketing. It will come from deeper relationships and a higher level of professionalism. Lead with integrity. Advise with clarity. And put the client first—every single time. Have a great week, team. I’ll talk to you next Monday. 🚀 Stay Connected with Jim Miller 📩 Join My Monday Morning Pep Talk Weekly Email → www.askjimmiller.com 📺 Subscribe on YouTube → www.youtube.com/channel/UCe3o0Wp1nE8dV_r1TFRb_Uw 📲 Follow on Instagram → www.instagram.com/askjimmiller 🔗 Connect on LinkedIn → www.linkedin.com/in/jimmillerchicago
