What drives you? Is it fear of failure that gets you out of bed or the recognition that failure is an opportunity for growth? Do you challenge yourself habitually, or do you honestly not want to take on “too much” in the way of challenges? At what point does a challenge cause paralyzing fear for you?

Last week, my custom-made 7MM rifle arrived. Which naturally meant I needed to go shoot something. Not even going to try to be humble about this: it’s B A D A S S. So badass, that the other guys at the range thought I was Delta Force. Just saying. So anyway, I called up one of my fellow Realtors, Shawn Cheney, who happens …
My children are all under the age of 5. And now, I have two girls. I am officially outnumbered. I am cherishing every moment with them, every new experience they have, and I appreciate being able to teach them how to live their best life. I don’t want to look too far ahead and rush their childhood, but I can’t help but …
The walls of my office are thin (one of the many reasons why I’m building a new office building) and at least once a week two of my staff members get into an epic argument. One of them is all about the relationships and one is all about the bottom line, so they are usually on the opposite end of issues, but that’s …
After 36 hours in the hospital and a few false starts, on Monday, August 8 at 11:49pm , my beautiful and strong wife, Sarah, and I welcomed our third child into the world, Madelyn Rae Hergenrother.

Your success is directly related to the success of the people around you. So what if you spent your time pouring into the top 20% of your organization and watching …
This week I taught a class in New Hampshire about how to recruit and hire talent. We covered topics ranging from behavior and personality, to thinking patterns, to interviewing questions, to reference checks, to building a bench of talent. I’ve hired some pretty incredible people over my ten years in business and I have also made some almost catastrophic mistakes, …
Last week I had a 1pm flight to Chicago and was going to arrive around 2:30pm, then I would take a leisurely town car ride into Champaign, IL to teach my class, Life Without Limits, the following day. I was ready for a long massage and a super-food packed dinner before going to bed early to be ready to inspire …
Every morning when the kids get up (yup, sometimes at 3am), I get them out of bed and we read a sign by their beds,”Be Awesome,” and I have them say it aloud too. Then I’ll ask them, “Are you going to be awesome today?” It sets the tone for the day for them, and for me. It has created a routine …
