 What's up everybody? Ricky Caruth here and I wanted to do this video to tell you from the bottom of my heart thank you. Thank you for sticking with me through the beginnings of your real estate career or maybe you're in the middle of your real estate career even at the end of your real estate career. For those of you who have been following me for quite a while now and implementing everything that I'm talking about, everything that I'm coaching and finding success, posting about that success, DMing me and messaging me and telling me about these successes and failures. I just want to tell you thank you because these messages from you guys are the only reason why I'm still going. It is what energizes me is what keeps me going and moving in this direction towards my goal which is to reduce the failure rate in the real estate industry. I want you to know that when I started waking up at 4 30 in the morning which is about six to eight months ago it's literally because I was looking for an extra hour in the day to put towards coaching and helping you guys. I take that extra hour from 4 30 to 5 30 and answer all of your DMs. I spend that entire hour answering DMs for zero money. It's completely free what I'm doing. I'm just answering really important questions and I feel so obligated to check those DMs and answer all those questions because there's some people that seriously need some help and have some legitimate real questions and I feel like if I just ignore those questions and ignore those people ignore you guys then I'm falling short on what I'm really here to do. I genuinely want to raise the industry up, raise the standards of how the public perceives real estate agents. I want us to be viewed as professional, hard-working, genuine people who care about their clients and want the best and will do anything to help their clients achieve their bigger goals. On top of the extra hour that I gave myself in the mornings I spend every second of the day to accomplish two things. I try my best to help as many people as I can buy and sell property and I try as hard as I can to help as many agents as humanly possible to succeed in real estate. And just like I talk about business is unlimited for every agent it is. There's more business than you can ever handle in your life at all times. It's the same thing for coaching. There are more agents out there that need my help than I could ever get to and there's new and starting in the business all the time that need help. So for me I feel like I'm on a hamster wheel. I'm just running and running and running and running and putting forth all this effort and effort, effort, effort, effort, effort and there's not even light at the end of the tunnel for where I want to go, where I'm headed and what I see. It's just an unlimited abyss of people that need help buying and selling property over here and how to succeed in real estate over here and I'm just giving it everything that I have. Every drop of energy every single day goes into this and I don't want you to think that I'm neglecting my family because I'm not. We spend a lot of time together in the afternoons and the morning before work when I get home from the gym on the weekends there's plenty of time for that. We have a lot of fun we enjoy the time that we get together but there's a time for work and there's a time for family and you have to understand the balance of both, right? That's what's going to help us live the most fulfilling life and happy life is finding the balance and everything. Ricky how do you balance your work and your life? Well I give work all I have when I'm at work and I give family all I have when I'm with my family and so you will find yourself getting into these routines that you'll need to tweak along the way. My family and I have found a very good routine. We're very happy with the way things are going with the amount of effort I put in this area the amount of effort I put into this area and it just works and that's what you need to find. You need to find what works. How do you find what works? By doing it. There's not a simple answer. It's different for everybody. You just have to do it and see what works. So anyway I just wanted to say thank you thank you thank you thank you guys so much. I really appreciate everything that you do everything that you do and I'm so proud of you for your progress. If you're brand new listening to me and and jumping into the program jump in head first. Please don't hesitate just jump in take action and just do it. The worst thing you can do is over think prepare too much and don't just take action. I am working on the 28-day Ricky Caruth real estate challenge. It's coming soon hopefully within the next three to four weeks we'll kick that off so I'll definitely inform you about that. Coming up September 19th through the 21st I'm gonna be in Dallas at the WGR summit. It's gonna be an incredible event. If you're anywhere close I would love to see you to meet you to shake your hand there. I'm also gonna be in DC that's gonna be in November November 11th and 12th I believe the dates are on that. So if you're anywhere close to DC please go to the hyperfast agent summit that's gonna be another incredible event. Also if you're anywhere in the state of Alabama I'm going to do an all-day workshop in Birmingham and this is gonna give you six hours of CE credits. So you're gonna get to hang out with me and coach Michael Burt all day long talking about how to create unlimited listings lunch is provided and you're gonna get six hours of CE credits. This is going to be a very incredible event. I can't wait for that one. And then I'm going to be in Charleston October 24th. By the way Birmingham is October 21st. The all-day workshop in Birmingham will be October 21st. Links for tickets to all these events are in the description. I'll also be in Charleston October 24th. There's a link in the description for that as well. So if you're anywhere close to any of those areas or can get to any of those places please do so. I would love to meet you. I'm also gonna be in Long Island sometime in January. So that was not completely nailed down yet but we're working on it. So I'll keep you informed if you're anywhere in the New York or Long Island area. I feel like I'm making a huge difference in the industry. I'm doing all I can do. I know that and I'm gonna continue to do all that I can do. So keep sending me messages, keep asking questions, keep grinding, keep working hard, keep doing all you can do to be the best agent that you can be. Talk to the most people with the best intentions and you are gonna win. Thanks again and we'll see you on the next video. Let's go!
