Why I blew off Mega Camp day 1

I won’t time or date stamp this post since it could lead to my eventual demise. Ok, yes, since many of you already know, I’m at Keller Williams mega camp and it’s the middle of the day. How could I be writing you ask? Yep, it’s true. I’m actually in The Hideout, the cool funky, slightly homeless vibed out coffee shop on Congress in downtown Austin. I really am at the conference; it’s just a few blocks over the other way. They are all packed into the air conditioned halls and dressed in beautiful clothes they probably bought just for the event. I did go. I did, really. This morning, I actually attended the entire session. It’s the second part, after they release you to an hour and a half of freedom and sunlight and excess espresso that I find myself simply unable to return to the darkness.
The truth is I don’t wanna go back. It’s not that it’s not totally amazing information, it is. It’s the best in the industry. It’s not that I didn’t get a ton out of the morning session, I really did. It’s not even that I feel like I won’t get much out of this afternoon—I would have- I’m certain I’m missing excellent stuff. It’s not even that I’ve found literally the best fricking soy latte in all of Texas—I could have gotten it to go.
The real deal is, I like to run with what I got, and I got lots. I’m a take what I need and leave the rest kinda guy. It’s how I’ve built everything I’ve got and it’s the only way I know how to actually get anything done, to use anything, to implement anything … I gotta get the goods, then take off running, run as far away from any additional ideas as possible and find space to decipher the data, determine it’s relevance in my life and business, and then set a course to implement it. Not tonight or tomorrow on break and not when I get home from learning 4 more days of cool tools. Nope. All those times are way too late for a manically focused obsessive like me. I gotta run with it, right now. My business is now. I can learn for the rest of my life, but my clients, my agents, my office, my team and my family all need me to be working, right now. The world needs more people in action and I’m in service to the world so I gotta get a move on.
I got 6 major ideas this morning. I’ve got nearly 30 bullet points and notes under each idea. I only write down ideas that ring true to me, that feel cool and doable and somehow light me up. All 6 did, that’s a problem. It’s like 7 pages of total notes. How do you assimilate that into action and get it implemented into your behavior and systems and business practices immediately? It’s just so much! Here’s how I do it: — you review your ideas—you do a gut check. You evaluate them and make sure they really feel right and necessary and worthy of your relentless focus. And then you get the hell out of the convention center and you find the perfect coffee shop. You order just the right latte and you re-write those ideas and key actions again and again until you refine them down to a page at most– – then you do it again. Then you determine exactly what’s necessary to have each idea gain legs and momentum…. You create a go sheet, and then get off your butt and go do it. You avoid all new ideas, thoughts, to-do’s and action until that focus and those ideas have legs of their own and are already working in your business. People, I’ve got tree’s worth of paper filled with incredible, revolutionary ideas that I’ve never done a damn thing with. Now, I have actions and new policy injected into my business right now, today. My listing presentation is already different. My marketing just changed. It’s already re-designed. My language, behavior and intensity have already been modified to adjust to the new approach. I have new standards and new objectives, already, right now, this minute.
And, my clients are already benefiting, after all, they are the reason I am here and I feel totally responsible to make sure they get what they pay for.
How about you?
