Episode 46: Prioritizing Family, Community, Real Estate... In that Order, with guest Randy Bocook

On this episode of the Jerry and Jacobe Podcast, they talk with Randy Bocook, who may not be on your radar but they have been talking to him for just about a year now and absolutely have grown to love Randy. He has been in Real Estate for almost 25 years and has mastered the rhythm of balance to prioritize what is most important in life. Tune in now!

Episode Highlights: 

• Randy has hard parameters he is unwilling to cross to make sure that his family comes first. 
• Randy is blessed with eight kids, and he has been in real estate for almost 25 years now. He doesn’t miss functions; he doesn’t miss practices; he doesn’t miss ball games; He doesn’t miss a lot of things because Randy makes those hard decisions.
• Randy was in coastal Georgia right outside of Savannah, and he always knew that he wanted to be in real estate. He tried to get into real estate when he was 18 years old.
• 3/4 of the stuff that the Bocook Team does when they give back to the community is anonymous. 
• Jacobe asks, “How did you make that shift to concentrate on helping people and not chasing the money?”
• “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result,” says Jacobe.
• Randy has learned that you have to reinvent yourself every three years or so in this business. He has done that for the most part because he was trying to find a better way of selling homes and having a better business. 
• Have you heard of Trello? Randy explains their experience with it and how it helps.
• “You have a couple of time frames in your life where you transition pretty significantly, and so when you’re going through a transition, were you aware that something needed to change, or what’s the process? or mentor you followed in a specific scenario?” asks Jerry.
• Jerry has been able to step out of his business for the last three to five years, but he still comes to work every day. He doesn’t mean that one has to work a 12 hour day, but one should come to work to be accountable to themselves and what they are trying to get done. 
• “We started implementing Profit First by Mike Michalowicz about a year ago, and it’s been noticeably different in our company since we started that,” explains Randy.
• Since joining Exp a year ago, real estate is now fun again. So now he has a new purpose of trying to go out there and build a new company with EXP, and it’s been a beautiful thing.

 

3 Key Points:

1. The more people Randy helps, the more money he makes, which is his way of tithing in another way.
2. Randy makes a list of things that will make his life better, and once he has that list done, he slowly starts going through those things and getting them done.
3. There was a time when Randy had six kids in private schools and two kids in diapers. So you have to learn how to categorize your time, and you spend the time with them when they go to bed, and it’s magical for you, says Randy.
