YesTalk-250 - Real Estate Agents And Rising Gas Prices
16 Mar 2022 · 0 min
A short Yes Talk podcast by Kevin Ray Ward addressing rising gasoline prices and their relevance to real estate agents. Ward argues that fretting over gas prices is the wrong focus—agents should build a resilient business and increase their income so variable costs (like gas) become irrelevant. The episode closes with two CTAs: weekly free training webinars and a free "no BS" listing presentation download at yesmasters.com.
Welcome to Kevin Ward's Yes Talk for Realtors. This is Kevin Ward.
All right, let's talk about the price of gasoline and real estate. Yeah. The price of gasoline is going up. Crazy. Why it's going up doesn't matter. It's going up. The question is, how are you responding to it going up? Because I'm seeing too many Realtors having these conversations about, can you believe gas prices? Oh, it's insane. It's crazy. And I've seen all kinds of memes and stuff about. I even saw a meme today on Facebook of a guy saying, this is with prices of gasoline going the way they are. This is me showing a buyer and it has him on a bicycle pulling his buyer on a skateboard. So I get it. Prices of gas are going through the roof. But I don't really think that this should be a conversation for Realtors, especially if you plan to succeed, because you focus on the wrong thing. You focus on the price of gasoline going up instead of the price instead of your income going up. And that's a huge mistake. Now, how do I say this? If the price of gasoline is a conversation that you are having, you're broke. Just let that sit for a second. Get pissed off. You need to. You can give me a thumbs down on this one, you can make a remark in the comments, but the price of gasoline is going to go up whether you like it or not, and it's going to go up whether you can afford it or not. Here's where I look at it. Every time my car needs gas in it or my truck needs gas in it, I'm going to put gas in it. If it cost me $4 a gallon, I'm going to fill it up. If it cost me $5 a gallon, I'm going to fill it up. If it cost me $10 a gallon, I'm going to fill it up. There was plenty of times in my life where the price of gasoline was an issue for me and it was because I was broke. Stop focusing on the price of gasoline, my friend. Focus on making enough money so that whatever the gas price of gas is, you can afford it. It's that simple. And the way you do that is by building a business and the building a business that will last no matter what the economy does, no matter what the stock market does, no matter what the price of gas does, no matter what housing prices do, that you are able to build an income that you need to have the lifestyle that you want. And that lifestyle, if it includes gasoline, then you want to be able to afford it and not have to think about the price of it. And if it involves an electric car, that's cool. Just make sure that you can afford it and you don't have to think about the price of. It's like, hey, what do I want to drive? I want to drive. See, I drive a. I drive a Dodge Ram 2500 diesel. I love is a diesel guzzler, but I like it. Okay, if they come out with a truck that I like as much as electric, I may get one someday. But the key is, is you want to make enough money. You don't have to think about the price. You just think about what you want. So how do gas prices affect real estate? Not much. What matters is what are you doing. What matters is what are you doing to grow your business, grow your income so that whatever the price of gas or houses or, or car or your groceries or your vacations, whatever it is you want to buy, that you have enough money to do it.
