  • 01:00 – Introducing Rik; he entered the real estate industry in 1989 
    • 02:00 - He had good intentions but didn’t have the skillset; he had a broker offer to help him grow his expertise and he began the path of personal development
    • 03:00 - By 1993 he was in a leadership position and by 1998 he bought the company, which he sold in 2016
    • 04:10 - He believes your decisions dictate your future and we’re here to be in gratitude and abundance 
    • 04:25 - He’s busier than ever; he’s on Zoom a lot
  • 06:20 - Rik’s CSIRE story
    • 06:40 - He was working to sell a home for someone who ended up not even being the homeowner; it was a test of authenticity
    • 07:50 - He was ¾ of the way into the sale of the home when he found out he was dealing with the tenant, not the owner
  • 09:00 - Another CSIRE story
    • 09:05 - He got a call from someone wanting to “get a feel for the market”; they didn’t know where they were moving 
    • 09:40 - The woman was very effervescent and the man would just grunt answers; they told him they were splitting up and she was going to marry her female best friend
  • 10:20 - The lessons
    • 12:40 - This is where interpersonal skills come in; sometimes you get blindsided and learn new ways of living and being from clients
    • 13:00 - You don’t build trust; you earn it with empathy, connections, and relationships
    • 15:00 - In 1998 he told himself he wasn’t ready to write a book on authenticity; now he feels he has more life experience and that perfectionism got in the way
    • 16:20 - Don’t be the one to tell yourself “no” and don’t be judgemental of others; your job as an agent is to get people to a better place
    • 18:20 - He’s learned so much about his children, too, and the fact that the world they’re living in is so different; they need strong roots and foundation
  • 20:55 - How to find Rik: his website or email at rik@rikrushton.com; you can also find his book and TedTalk there 
  • 22:35 - “Work harder on yourself than you do at your job.” - Jim Rohn
    • 23:10 - Use this opportunity to work on yourself and grow; the winds blow on everyone, some use the winds to propel their dreams and others let themselves be held back

3 Key Points

  1. Wake up with gratitude. 
  2. Everyone’s trying to move to a better place. 
  3. You need a mentor in order to grow and improve, no matter what industry you’re in.
