In this Motivational Monday video, Chris of Smart Real Estate Coach challenges viewers to assess whether they are on track with their 2025 real‑estate goals. He walks the audience through a series of self‑reflection questions—identifying current position, visualizing the desired December outcome, defining the skill set and network of the ideal future self, evaluating focus, intensity, and daily schedule, and deciding what low‑value activities to stop. Chris stresses the importance of ignoring external permission and distractions, and highlights that execution, not just knowledge, drives success. He shares community performance data (average earnings per deal ranging from $45k to $350k and the “3 paydays per house” model), cites the 2008 crash as a catalyst for his hands‑on training approach, and promotes his programs: The 31‑Day Billionaire mindset course, the In‑the‑Trenches Bootcamp, and the 3 Paydays Apprentice. The video ends with a call to action to visit smartrealestatecoach.com, book a strategy call, and email him, urging viewers to share their biggest takeaway and commit to execution.

Okay, welcome to this week's Motivational Monday. Major question for you right now, are you on track so far for 2025? So in other words, when you set goals for 2025, you had some plans and you had some dreams and you had some goals. Are you on track? Yes or no? Now there's no wrong answer, but knowing the answer and being true to yourself is the A number one priority here. Why? Because once we know where you are, whether it's good, bad, or otherwise, and then we project where you want to be, we can start ripping apart the obstacles that are in the way and overcoming them. And if you ever in your adult life have ever looked in the mirror and said, you know what, I'm not quite sure I'm where I thought I'd be, then this is the time to re-explore that. That was me after the 2008 crash, by the way. You're not alone. So what does it take To absolutely crush it in the rest of this year. And frankly, you can substitute rest of this quarter, rest of this year, next year, whatever you want. But here's some, some good gut checks for you. What does it look like in December of '25 for you? What do you want it to look like? And if you're listening to this later in the year, what does it look like in December of '26? If you want to go 5 years, you do that, but use this exercise for whatever date you want. More questions, please write these down. How would the person that you want to be go about getting there? Remember I said, know where you are, know where you want to be, rip apart the obstacles, create some plans. Well, how would the person you want to be go about getting there? Just kind of think about that for a minute with no preconceived notion or hangups about how you might do it. Just be open-ended here. What skill sets would they have? What route for the mental game would they take? For example, we have a course called The 31-Day Billionaire that I filmed with Dr. Joe Vitale along with my son Nick and my son-in-law and partner Zach. And in that course for 31 days, you get a mindset dump. That's just one of a plethora of things you could do. Next question, who would they hang out with and engage with? Like if they were going to take your journey, the ideal thing, you could wave your wand, who would they hang out with? Who would they rub elbows with? This is important for us to know this, right? These are all gut checks. And I hope you watch this and rewatch this and use it as a quarterly gut check. What is your current level of focus and intensity? And given that level of focus and intensity, is it gonna produce the results that you want? Again, only you know that. So in other words, here's a good one. Look at your schedule right now. Look at your schedule and look at what's been taking place. And is that activity and that schedule and that history of the last 4 weeks— we do a diary exercise, we call it, with our community members and they track what they do and we help them dig into this. But if you look at it, is it gonna get you to where you wanna be? Here's an interesting one. Everybody wants to pile on new things to do, new things to do, new things to do. What are you going to stop doing in order to accomplish that goal in whatever your date that you looked at? What are you going to stop doing? Interesting, isn't it? Instead of just piling on new stuff, we got to think about that. We all have the same 24/7, right? Here's an interesting one, because when I have people do the gut check and I say, look, don't worry about the how, what I also tell them to do is don't worry about other people. In other words, don't wait for permission, for example, of people that are outside of what you're trying to accomplish and have no clue what you're trying to accomplish. You'll never get it. You'll never get it. I'm talking about, you know, look at the media and all this other crap going on. You don't need permission to go for it, okay? And don't ask people what they think because most don't know. And most, sadly, don't want you to get ahead of them. You're crazy. I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't leave your job. They don't want you to get ahead of them. So why on earth, why on earth would you ask them what you should do? Here's the thing with the Wicked Smack community. I don't know how fast or slow we can help you progress in real estate. I do know 2 things. I know that we know how to get you earning the 3 paydays, right, per house. And the average in our community runs from $45,000 to $350,000, roughly speaking. I don't know what yours will be, but that's roughly the history of this for the last decade or so. So we know how to get you to the point of earning 3 paydays, however fast or slow that might be. And number 2, we know how to get you executing on the actual deals because execution trumps knowledge all day long, right? Our program was designed after the 2008 crash. I was so frustrated with not finding anything but programs being marketed to me, but nothing where somebody would come behind that and actually get in the trenches, roll up their sleeves, and do deals with me. We do that. We do it right here in the In the Trenches Bootcamp. You can check that out. We do that weekly on Zoom, many times per week with some of the groups. And so we know how to get you executing. And that's the important part, this interactive learning. I was on a podcast once on my show with Brian Tracy. He was during COVID gosh, I think he was like 82 then, 82 years old. And he said, Chris, interactive learning like you guys are doing is by far the most effective. And in my opinion, the only way to approach any learning. I don't care if you're in real estate or not. That was his comment. Now, this has been a lot. My thought process here, this Motivational Monday, has been a lot about execution. Well, if you're watching this video and you have yet to go through our home study course, go to smartrealestatecoach.com and check that out. If you have yet to go through our apprentice program and you're not sure you want to kind of put both feet in the water, go check out that. Go to 3, the number 3, paydaysapprentice.com. It is by far the most effective thing we've done as a company in the last decade. 3, the number 3, PaydaysApprentice.com. Now, you may have missed opportunity in the past. You may even feel slighted. I, you know, I have people come in the office and I'm on strategy calls and I hear these types of comments. Well, let me just say, be the first person to tell you, it's your time. Okay? You have an unlimited asset here when you get to learn the skillset of creative real estate. Nobody can take it from you. Once you learn it, whether you talk to me or anyone else the rest of your life, nobody can take it from you. You can just buy your own home over the next year and then do it again in 7 years, and you'd be far ahead of most people. So I want you to know that it's your time. It's time to step up. If you want to go ahead and get on a call with us, just go to smartrealestatecoach.com/action and go ahead and book your call with us.
