The mistake most realtors make when they're making $200,000+ a year is they think they just need more leads or they just need to make another sale. But the reality is that keeps you stuck and it robs you of the work-life balance you're looking for. Technically, what is the better way? The better way is they have to get more control over their finances. They've got holes in their bucket. They're pouring water into this bucket and it's got holes at the bottom. Imagine you've got a bucket and there's 75 holes in the bottom and you're frantically trying to pour more water into the top. Meanwhile, every single thing that you pour in is escaping out the bottom. It just doesn't make sense, but that's what you're doing. So what you need to do before you pour more water into the top of the bucket is you need to plug the holes, which means you need to get control of your finances.
