I’m excited to announce that my newest book is now available! If you are a real estate agent who has been thinking about becoming a broker and opening your own boutique real estate brokerage, then this book is for you.
The Entrefluential Broker: How to Launch a Boutique Real Estate Brokerage Business
According to statistics, approximately 90% of new real estate agents drop out of the industry by the end of their first year in the business. I know first-hand what that’s like because I had to step out and take other jobs to survive. But I always felt deep down that there had to be a better way to not only survive, but thrive as a new agent – a new strategy that anyone can do.
As I have had thirty years to observe, reflect, and experiment, a methodology began to emerge and evolve. I call it Entrefluence.

Lord God, I was created by You and put on this earth for a purpose. I belong to You.
Jesus is first in my life. He is my Lord and Savior and I exist to serve Him.
My goal today is unbroken fellowship with God. It is impossible for me to be happy unless I’m in close fellowship with God.
I love my family and I will lay down my life for them.
My children will love God and serve Him with their whole hearts. I will love them, discipline them, encourage them and equip them to be strong in the Lord and do great things for His kingdom.
My voice in my child’s life is the most powerful voice they hear.
I am growing closer to Jesus every day. I am called, anointed, equipped, and empowered to make a difference in this world for Christ.
The word of God is the most powerful force in the universe; therefore, I will live by it and use it to my advantage.
I embrace the process and the season God has me in.
I will wake up with purpose, direction, and meaning every day of my life.
I am disciplined. Christ in me is stronger than the wrong desires in me.
God loves me so much and has blessed me beyond measure. I am grateful and thankful today.
I live in the favor of God and have so much Holy Spirit power on the inside of me that anything is possible.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
The world will be different and better because I served Jesus today.
So, I started doing Tai Chi and Qigong four days ago and the results are impressive. I feel my muscles strengthening, my mind sharp, and I feel more free from whatever negative energy blocks that we’re holding me back.
Mind, Body & Spirit Wellness
I’m so very excited about this new journey on and I am now aspiring to get certified as a White Tiger Qigong instructor. What an amazing journey life is!
Have you ever had a conversation with someone who told you they could tell you were very passionate about the subject? Passion can go two ways, negatively or positively. When used for good, it energizes people. I hope you are working in an industry that you are on fire 🔥 about!
Action Steps:
Assess where you are today. Are you happy? If not, how can you get into the industry that will make you happy and passionate about your work.
If you are already in an industry that you love, are you waking up in the morning excited about the day ahead? What can you do to make your day more exciting and enjoyable?
1. Be Intentional: Plant a seed of thought that will grow into a fruitful tree of the thing you want in your life.
“Begin with the end in mind.”
“Plan your work, then work your plan.”
Steven Covey, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People)
2. Make a Public Commitment to Grow Intentionally.
Sharing your commitment publicly makes your desire to achieve it stronger.
Keep your word to yourself and to the public.
3. Identify Two or More Areas You Will Grow In.
The first area is for something personal, such as learning a new language, reading an entertaining book, learning to dance or cook, etc.
The second area is for something professional.
This week, I’m reading a book from the local library on employment practices (professional development)
4. Invest 30 Minutes per Day on Each Area.
Preparation + Opportunity = Success
5. Invest 1 Hour per Week to Reflect – personal, intrinsic observation, and professional, SWOT analysis – and Journal Your Observations.
“Examine yourselves…” (2 Corinthians 13:5)
“Know thyself.” (Socrates)
What have you learned about yourself?
What have you identified about your business strengths?
What have you identified about your business weaknesses?
Do you see any opportunities?
Do you see any potential threats?
6. Share Your Growth.
Social media can be a powerful ally when your friends and fans show you their support and encouragement, but it can also come with heckling and criticism. As such, observe the reactions of others from an emotional distance. This will help you prevent (1) gloating and (2) despair from negative criticisms.
Final thoughts: Spend time with positive, uplifting people and stay clear of negative people who display ill-will towards your progress and achievements. As the saying goes, “birds of a feather flock together.”

Who are your ideal customers and who are your YouTube channels, websites, memberships, workshops and seminars/webinars for?
Buyers, Sellers, Landlords, & Tenants of real estate; degreed and/or licensed professional entrepreneurs; business owners, real estate investors & agents; and anyone who is aspiring to achieve financial freedom through entrepreneurship and real estate investing!
What problems do you solve?
We help ladies and gentlemen buy, sell, or lease real estate and we teach real estate entrepreneurs to build “entrefluence” in their business life by learning creative communication skills to amplify their message; we help them build “passive income” via innovative real estate investment strategies and teach them skills to find new ways to grow their r/e investment portfolios; and we work as their consultants to show them how to simplify their workflows, improve NOI via avant-garde technologies and emerging trends, and to embrace economies of scale to reduce their Op Ex, and more!
How are you different from your competitors?
We take entrepreneurship, add a cup of influencer strategy, plus a dash of charm, a sprinkle of wittiness, and bake it in a Ritz-Carlton “ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen” pan inside of a social oven (social media) of like-minded people (tribes) with similar values. Then we add a side of expert training (guest speakers) to add flavor (value) to the plate.
Why should someone follow you or subscribe to your channels?
To have a unique opportunity to learn new business, marketing, and influence-building skills (public relations) to amplify their message (entrefluence) and become part of a growing tribe of international investors (entrefluencer club), taught by a guide who’s doing this to improve his own real estate brokerage business and investment portfolio. (That’s me!) 🤵♂️🤦🏻♂️☺️🙏
