Embrace Delayed Gratification and Trust the Process with Mike Sherrard

In a world that is constantly seeking instant gratification, we have to listen in to those that have achieved success through a slow, steady, and proven process to remind us that great achievements do not happen overnight. Mike Sherrard is here to teach us about what it takes to be successful, and what the path looks like to get there. This means setting your eyes on what it is you want to achieve and embracing that delayed gratification. 

Mike Sherrard is a successful real estate agent that decided to sharpen his skills in one area and changed his whole life. After leaving his career as an Engineer, he decided to reinvent himself and dive into the real estate industry because he was not impressed with what he had seen in the industry thus far. Mike knew that if he committed to learning how to provide a better client experience, the reward would pay off. Instead of taking the traditional route and doing what other realtors were doing, Mike became an expert in marketing and branding and become the top producer in his brokerage. Now he helps other real estate agents put out engaging content that converts.

In this episode, Mike shares valuable lessons about how to use constructive criticism to grow, the importance of taking care of yourself first, and what it means to consider how others experience you. With a lot of noise on social media about what we should be doing to be successful, Mike’s refreshing advice is to focus on one thing. Getting really great in one area will transfer into significant results over time if you put in the effort. Tune in for more!
