172 The Get It Out the Mud Mentality: Why Self-Reliance Drives Success

When is the right time to ask for sponsorship from lender partners in real estate, and what separates successful agents who build authentic partnerships from those who become mere "mascots" in the industry?

The trio dives deep into the psychology of asking for sponsorship, the importance of earning business relationships rather than expecting handouts, and why preparation separates top performers from the rest. Danny shares his unique perspective on competition, emphasizing collaboration over rivalry, while Ed reveals his "get it out the mud" mentality shaped by childhood experiences. The conversation explores everything from effective open house strategies to the reality that social media glamour doesn't close deals—authentic service and preparation do.
