In this episode of Properties to Profits, I break down the truth about pressure—and how to use it to fuel your growth instead of letting it break you. Whether it’s a tough seller call, a title issue, or team tension, pressure is part of the game. The people who win big are the ones who lean into it and let it build them.
I share the mindset and tactical shifts that have helped me and my team stay calm, focused, and clear under stress. You’ll learn why pressure is actually a signal that growth is happening, how top producers separate themselves in high-stress moments, and what to do when everything feels like it’s falling apart. If you want to become the kind of person who performs when others panic, this episode is for you.
