Embrace JOMO to Transform Your Real Estate Career and Personal Life - Protecting the Goose That Lays the Golden Eggs (Part 7)

The Connect Practice Track & Grow Podcast

In this episode of the Connect, Practice, Track and Grow podcast, hosts Chris McAllister and Laci LeBlanc continue their 12-part series titled "Protecting the Goose that Lays the Golden Eggs." In Part 7, we delve into a refreshing and transformative mindset for real estate professionals: JOMO – the Joy of Missing Out.

We explore how shifting from the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) to JOMO can help you make more intentional choices that align with your long-term goals, improve your client relationships, and prevent burnout. Tune in to discover how embracing JOMO can foster peace, presence, and profitability in your real estate business.

Key Takeaways:

• FOMO vs. JOMO: Understanding the difference between the Fear of Missing Out and the Joy of Missing Out, and how they influence decision-making in real estate.
• The Negative Side of FOMO: FOMO can lead to anxiety, overcommitment, and chasing opportunities that don't align with your strengths or business goals, often leading to burnout.
• Embracing JOMO for Long-Term Success: JOMO promotes peace, focus, and presence. It allows you to prioritize quality relationships and opportunities that truly matter to your growth and profitability.
• Unique Ability: How JOMO helps you focus on your unique abilities and strengths, enabling you to say no to distractions and yes to the right opportunities.
• Making Intentional Choices: JOMO isn't about ignoring opportunities, but about making choices that align with your values, strengths, and long-term vision.
• Real Estate Application: In the wake of changes like the NAR settlement, how adopting a JOMO mindset can help real estate professionals stay focused on what truly matters—building relationships, articulating value, and avoiding commoditization.

Quotable Moments:

• "FOMO can be a double-edged sword: while it can motivate us to seize opportunities, it can also lead us to overcommit and lose sight of what really matters." – Chris McAllister
• "JOMO is not about complacency or ignoring opportunities, it's about making intentional choices that serve your long-term goals." – Chris McAllister
• "By embracing JOMO, you focus on clients who share your values, helping you build deeper, more authentic relationships that are mutually beneficial." – Laci LeBlanc

Actionable Steps:

1. Identify One Area to Embrace JOMO: Start small by identifying one aspect of your business where you can apply the JOMO mindset and focus on what truly aligns with your goals.
2. Develop Your Unique Value Proposition: Craft a mission statement that articulates your unique value and what sets you apart from the competition. This will help you focus on building meaningful relationships and cultivating long-term success.
3. Stay Aware, But Don’t Be Led by Fear: Use FOMO strategically to stay alert to market trends but don’t let it distract you from your core strengths or long-term goals.
