 I'm in this weird place where I've hit this spot professionally where You know, it's like what is next bro because I feel like I walk off every stage leaving my audience thinking okay great Relationships over transactions you close 100 deals your free coach you closings happen every day You know we get it, you know, but what now, you know, what do we do to take that and Make our dreams come true right and what's the next chapter in your story Ricky and I feel like It's like this movie that's playing That everybody's waiting to see what's gonna happen next, you know now it's my move That's kind of where I'm at like I got into coaching because I was bored with real estate now I'm getting to the point where like every day feels like I'm coaching calls. I'm doing zooms I'm doing podcasts. I'm going listing appointments. I'm closing deals. I go to sleep and do the same shit every day And I love it like I'm in it like I love it. I'm helping people helping agents helping clients But at the same time I'm right back where I was back in 2017 when I wrote those two books And I'm thinking what is next man, you know, I feel like I've climbed this mountain and You know, that's just how I am You know, and honestly, I probably beat this dead horse long enough You know same thing like I waited till I had 30 active listings before hired an assistant You know, I waited till I closed a hundred deals a year for three years before Writing a book or thinking I even had the audacity to tell somebody else how to do something you know, so I'm kind of that's my MO and I hide behind that MO because you know, like I'm realizing now that that MO is a place of Like complacency, right that I'm like, you know, I get to a place and now I feel complacent Now I'm like leaning back and kind of riding out the platform that I built writing out the business that I built And I feel like I'm not growing Like personal like personal development I'm dead serious about the fact that I'm in a role that I've never been in and It's a role of leadership that I've never had to I've never had to be and You know, I haven't taken it serious To the level that I need to in regards to my responsibility to the industry, you know, and And so you're catching me at a moment, you know what I mean during this this discord Where you know, I'm in deep thought about all this, you know, and that it's something deeper there and When I unleash what wherever this is going, it's it's gonna be massive, right? So I'm on some deeper stuff right now, you know, because like I'm developing into a new person Every day with these new roles that I'm partaking in You know do this like I said, man, this is just serious stuff man. These are this is this is industry This is this is legacy stuff. This is, you know generational this is You know, this is not, you know, nothing to be taken lightly and I feel like honestly I've taken stuff a little lightly and I'm just kind of like on like I don't have like a five-year goal Like I just work as hard as I can work knowing that great things are gonna happen You know, that's how I've always operated because I couldn't tell you five years ago that I was gonna be where I'm gonna be right now You know, there's no way I could have predicted like as far as I've come There's no way so five years ago if I'd have made this goal to be where I am now I would have laughed at you right and so for me to say where I'm gonna be in five years that dude There's no telling where I'm gonna be in five years. I can't even make that bet But my thing is I've always been a gut player like go like go with my gut wherever I say Wherever I feel, you know, and it's time to grow out of that for me, you know a lot of people say well, dude, look where you are you got it made you this you that you the other and I think yeah, and that's awesome And I'm I'm so grateful for every little thing that's that's happened and all the work that I put into making it happen but you guys got to understand man that That ten years is gonna go by and a snap of a finger And you're not even gonna be able to know like and you can't go back And so when I look at the next ten years and I think about 50 years old And I think about looking back at 50 and realizing that that I missed out on Opportunity that I could have really shook up the industry and really made a dent and really made a difference And I dropped the ball because I just kept telling my same story That always ended the same way right and Preach that you know this this Screaming of people just do it push through it. That's awesome Okay, but it's played out and I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about Tony Robbins I'm talking about all those motivational speakers when he came out This stuff wasn't around and it went big and now you've got the spin-off of all the other guys that that are You know making a name for theirself in that same parameter and I want to Take it I just want to go to another level higher than those higher than it's not even about like oh me Ricky and Put me on a pedestal. I'm trying to figure out how I can Get what my next chapter is in order to connect the dots for how you guys can use my story To fulfill your dreams right? I want to make it about you. I want to make it about my audience I want to make it about them not about look at Ricky. I want to make it about look at you You know and so that that's the next level for me, you know, it's been about I sell a hundred properties I do this I do that. I'm a free coach You know for so long and it's great because I built this incredible platform But it's time to take this to another level and the next level is how can I use this and my next chapter to really Enrich the industry and other agents to say oh well look at Ricky Look at the pain he went through for us to get here to tell us what not to do if he can do it I can do it, you know, I Just feel so responsible when I see so much Garbage happening in the coaching space You know and I just feel like you know Superman trying to swoop in and combat You know what's happening out there. It's a Wild Wild West, you know
