Prioritize Your Health Now—Your Future and Family Depend on It

You don’t know how much time you have on this earth—so how are you using it?

As someone who coaches business owners and leads a real estate team, I often have hard conversations that spark life-changing realizations. Recently, while coaching one of my clients, I asked a simple question:

“How’s your focus on your health?”

The answer was disheartening: “Not good.”

They’d been putting themselves last—constantly prioritizing business, clients, responsibilities, and everyone else over something that should be non-negotiable: their well-being.

That’s when I asked something that really hit home:

“You have two children. You hope they’ll grow up, find their life partners, get married, and have children of their own—making you a grandfather.
But what if, on those milestones, you’re not there?
What if your absence was preventable—if only you’d taken better care of your health?
What would that cost them in lost memories, unspoken advice, and emotional weight?”

These are tough questions—but they’re the questions that matter.

Your Health Is More Than About You—It’s About Your Legacy

If you’re a business owner, a real estate professional, or simply someone with big responsibilities—you’re juggling a lot.

But if your health is at the bottom of your list, everything else is at risk.

Whether you’re running a business or showing properties, your health directly impacts your ability to lead, love, and live fully. More importantly, your family and future depend on it.

Change Starts with a Decision—Not a Date

You don’t need to wait for Monday, a new month, or January 1st.
Start now. Right now.

Sure, it may feel easier said than done. But here’s the question:

What’s it costing you to keep waiting?
What might it cost the people you love if you’re not there because you delayed taking care of yourself?

Small Shifts. Lasting Impact.

Taking care of your health doesn’t require massive changes overnight. Instead, commit to small, powerful shifts:

• 💧 Drink more water

• 🏃 Move your body daily

• 😴 Get quality sleep

• 🧠 Manage stress intentionally

• ❤️ Prioritize family time

• 🩺 Schedule regular checkups

• 🚫 Say no to burnout

Over time, these habits shape a better future—for you and for those you love.

The Power of Choosing Results Over Excuses

You can have excuses, or you can have results—but you can’t have both. This simple truth is one of the most powerful pieces of advice anyone can receive if they’re truly committed to leveling up in both business and life. The difference between those who achieve success and those who stay stuck in mediocrity often comes down to this binary choice.

Since 2010, as a business coach, I’ve heard just about every excuse imaginable for why someone’s business isn’t where they want it to be. Occasionally, I still hear a new excuse that makes me shake my head. The fact is, excuses don’t nurture growth; they suffocate it. They stunt progress and, in some cases, even cause regression. Excuses are toxic and reveal weakness.

When things aren’t going your way, one of the most powerful questions you can ask is, “What’s my role in this situation? What habits—or lack thereof—got me here? What decision and action can I take to move closer to my goals? What have I not done that’s left me in this less-than-ideal spot?”

Reflect on what you’re doing—or not doing—right now. Create a plan. Execute it. You’ll start seeing results. They may not be perfect at first, but they’ll move you forward, not backward. And if the result is failure, treat it as a lesson, make adjustments, and keep going.

Results—good or bad—are your compass for growth. They’re the light guiding your journey, both personally and professionally. Stop making excuses. Chart a new course today.

How to Handle Threats with Strength and Focus

Recognizing the True Nature of a Threat

Threats are often the last resort of those who feel powerless. When someone threatens you—whether in business or in life—it’s not a sign of their strength. It’s a reflection of their fear, insecurity, or a belief that force will get them results.

Recognize this immediately. You are in a position of power. You do not need to fear. You do not need to respond emotionally. And you certainly don’t need to let it pull you off course.

Stay Focused on Your Goals

One of the greatest dangers of reacting to a threat is allowing it to steal your focus. Most threats are empty—fueled by ego, past experiences, or the belief that intimidation still works.

If you’re playing life or business at a high level, you will attract resistance. Some people won’t want to compete with you—they’ll want to tear you down. Expect it. Prepare for it. And when it happens, don’t be surprised. Be ready.

Surround Yourself with the Right People

During challenging moments, the people around you matter. Surround yourself with those who uplift, support, and challenge you to stay focused on what matters most. You don’t need a crowd—you need a core.

Choose to Rise Above

Here’s the important caveat: never operate from a place of harm, not even when dealing with adversaries. Don’t fight darkness with more darkness. Rise above it. Lead with integrity, confidence, and strategy.

When you choose the high road, something incredible happens—opportunities open that you wouldn’t have seen otherwise. While others are stuck in petty battles, you’re creating momentum that leaves them behind.

Eyes Forward, Always

Like a racehorse with blinders and a shadow roll, you must stay locked in on the finish line. Distractions are everywhere—threats, noise, doubt, negativity. Don’t look to the sides. Look forward. Every step you take in alignment with your goals brings you closer to your version of success.

Live Fully. Lead Boldly. Choose Powerfully.

Whether you’re building a business or living out your purpose, go all in. Don’t hold back. Don’t play small. The life and business you want are built one decision at a time.

And it all comes down to this: What do you choose today?

Stop Consuming, Start Creating: Overcoming Doubt and Comparison in Business and Life

In a world dominated by social media highlight reels, endless news cycles, and a constant barrage of content, it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparison. You scroll through your feed and start thinking, “Why is everyone else winning while I’m struggling?” That feeling of doubt begins to creep in, quietly undermining your confidence and motivation.

The Hidden Cost of Constant Consumption

We’ve all heard the saying, “You are what you eat.” But the same principle applies to your mind: you become what you consume. If your daily routine involves absorbing negative headlines, unrealistic social media portrayals, or unfiltered opinions from people who don’t walk your path, it’s no wonder your energy and focus begin to suffer.

This kind of mental diet leads to what I call analysis paralysis. You become so fixated on what others are doing that you lose sight of your own goals. Instead of taking action, you second-guess your next move. Instead of building momentum, you stall out. This cycle can be devastating to both your business and personal life.

The Power of Creation Over Comparison

Here’s the shift: stop consuming—start creating.

When you create, you move into action. You build confidence through momentum. You stop waiting for someone to save you and realize that the responsibility—and the power—lies within you.

Think of it like climbing that knotted gym rope from childhood. It’s not easy. There’s no boost from below. You just dig deep and climb. Every pull upward is a decision to move forward, despite the fear, despite the noise, despite the doubt.

Intentional Consistency: Your Ultimate Advantage

Doubt is crushed not by motivation, but by intentional consistency. Taking small, focused steps every day builds the confidence you need to stay the course. And the more you create—whether it’s content, opportunities, systems, or relationships—the less space doubt has to thrive.

Here’s the formula:

• Consume less

• Create more

• Stay consistent

• Build confidence

• Move closer to your goals

Final Thoughts: Today, Create

If you’re serious about personal growth, business success, and living the life you envision—stop watching everyone else do it. Start doing it yourself. Your breakthrough isn’t found in someone else’s story. It’s found in the one you’re writing.

So today, create. Take a step. Silence the doubt. And move boldly toward your purpose.

The Hidden Work of a REALTOR®: Behind the Scenes of a Real Estate Transaction

Did you know that a single real estate transaction can involve 20 to 30 or more individuals or businesses? From lenders and inspectors to appraisers, underwriters, title reps, and transaction coordinators—each one has unique timelines, processes, and paperwork requirements. And somehow, it all comes together (hopefully) in a beautiful moment when the buyer gets the keys or the seller gets their check.

For most people, that’s all they see—the final flourish. But behind that curtain is a REALTOR®, juggling like a magician: coordinating chaos, solving problems on the fly, and making sure the show goes on. It’s not just experience that makes the magic happen. It’s repetition, failure, learning, repetition again. It’s hours, days, and years perfecting the craft so that what looks simple… actually isn’t.

And this isn’t unique to REALTORS®. If you look closely, every business owner, every leader, every craftsman, every corporate professional—they all work behind the scenes in ways most never witness. You see the finished product, not the early mornings, the last-minute pivots, or the quiet victories that come before the big one.

I was reminded of this today when I celebrated a meaningful closing with a well-earned plate of brisket from FireCraft BBQ. That brisket didn’t just appear. Someone poured their heart into prepping, smoking, slicing—perfecting the experience. And all I had to do was show up, order, and enjoy. Just like a client shows up to closing.

So here’s my challenge for you this week—say thank you. To the people whose work goes unnoticed. To the friend in the office down the hall. To the vendor who never misses a beat. To the cashier who smiles even when it’s been a long day.

We’re all part of someone’s village—even if our work is meant to be unseen.

Discovering Your Worth as a Small Business Owner When You Feel Undervalued

Discovering Your Worth When Others Don’t Acknowledge It

If you’re a small business owner or entrepreneur, you’ve likely experienced this: giving your all—mentally, emotionally, financially—and still feeling undervalued. Whether it’s from clients, colleagues, friends, or even family, the pain of being misunderstood or overlooked is real.

The truth is, when you’re good at what you do, you make it look easy. And because it looks easy, others assume it is easy. But behind the scenes? That’s where the real story lies.

The Unseen Grind of Running a Business

What people don’t see are the early mornings and late nights. They don’t see the financial risks and tough decisions, or the sacrifices in your personal life. They don’t experience the pressure of supporting others, staying consistent when no one is watching, or bearing the emotional weight of leadership.

Success in business often looks simple on the surface because it’s backed by years of repetition, learning, failing, and refining. You’ve worked hard to create a seamless experience—and ironically, that effort often leads others to underestimate the complexity and commitment behind it.

Why Some People Will Undervalue You

And why it often comes from those closest to you

Surprisingly, the people who undervalue your work the most are sometimes your inner circle—friends, family, even long-time clients. When people are close to you, they tend to see the you they’ve always known, not the expert you’ve become.

Familiarity causes them to overlook your growth, your accomplishments, and the behind-the-scenes effort that goes into running a successful business. This isn’t always intentional—it’s often just a lack of understanding. But it still stings.

The takeaway? Their lack of awareness doesn’t define your value.

The Power of Developing a Strong Mindset

How to stay grounded when you feel unseen

In both life and business, your mindset will make or break you. When you tie your worth to recognition or praise, you become vulnerable to every comment or misunderstanding. But when you root yourself in purpose, progress, and self-awareness, you become unshakable.

Here are a few ways to protect and strengthen your mindset:

Detach your worth from outside validation. Your value isn’t determined by applause.

Celebrate your progress. Small wins matter just as much as major milestones.

Stay connected to your mission. Let your purpose guide your actions, not the opinions of others.

Establish boundaries. Don’t let negative voices rent space in your head.

Find your circle. Surround yourself with people who elevate, challenge, and support you.

Final Words of Encouragement: Don’t Be Discouraged

If you’re feeling unseen or unappreciated, take heart. The fact that you’re still showing up, still serving, still striving—that speaks volumes. You’re doing more than most will ever understand. And while others may miss the effort you put in, you know the weight you carry and the difference you make.

You’re not building for applause. You’re building for impact. Keep going. The right people will recognize your value, and more importantly, you’ll know you’ve built something with purpose, resilience, and pride.

Mindset Shift for Small Business Owners: How to Get Unstuck and Grow Your Business from Within

A mindset shift for small business owners and entrepreneurs who feel stuck

If you’re a small business owner or entrepreneur, you’ve likely faced a moment when things just didn’t feel right. Maybe your progress slowed, your motivation faded, or the results you were hoping for simply didn’t show up. The gut reaction? Change everything—your environment, your routine, the people around you. I’ve been there.

Why Change Isn’t Always the Solution

For years, I thought the solution to stagnation was external. When things weren’t working, my instinct was to shake things up. New people. New opportunities. A new direction.

But I’ve come to learn something powerful over time:
Changing your circumstances without addressing your mindset only delays the real issue.

It’s not that changes in your surroundings can’t help—they sometimes can. But more often than not, we use those changes as a way to avoid looking inward.

The Power of Self-Reflection in Business

These days, when I feel stuck or overwhelmed, I take a different approach. I stop everything and ask myself three crucial questions:

How am I contributing to this situation?

What am I not doing that I know I should be doing?

What am I telling myself I’m doing, but deep down I know I’m not?

These questions are not easy to answer. But they’re necessary. They force me to get honest—with myself.

The Hard Truth: You Might Be the Roadblock

One of the most difficult lessons I’ve learned as a business leader is this:
Sometimes, the biggest obstacle in our business is us.

It’s easy to lie to ourselves to justify where we are. It’s easy to blame market conditions, lack of support, or bad luck. But the reality is that we are often in our current situation because of the decisions we’ve made—or the ones we’ve avoided.

We can be our own worst enemy.

A Challenge for Small Business Owners

If you’re feeling stuck in your business right now, I want to encourage you:
Don’t run. Reflect.

Face the discomfort. Ask yourself the hard questions. Look in the mirror.
Because when you start answering honestly, you unlock something incredibly powerful: clarity.

And with clarity comes momentum. Growth. Change that actually sticks.

Final Thought: Real Growth Starts Within

External changes can help. But internal transformation is what leads to lasting success in business—and in life.

Signed,
Someone who’s lived it—and still learning from it.

Stop Wasting Time: Why Purpose-Driven Meetings Are Essential for Real Estate Teams and Small Business Owners

By: Jeremy Williams, Owner/Head Coach at Red Hawk Coaching and Team Leader of the Red Hawk Property Team powered by JLA Realty

In the fast-paced world of real estate and small business, time is one of your most valuable resources. Yet, one of the biggest time-wasters we see—especially among real estate brokers, team leaders, and small business owners—is the dreaded meeting without a purpose.

The Problem with Purpose-Less Meetings

How many times have you walked into a meeting only to walk out wondering what the point was? Over the years, I’ve experienced far too many meetings that lacked direction, intention, or any measurable outcome. These meetings drain time, energy, and morale. If you can’t clearly define why you’re meeting and what needs to be accomplished, you probably shouldn’t be meeting at all.

Meetings should never exist just to fill a slot on the calendar. They should move the needle—toward closing deals, solving problems, inspiring innovation, or driving results.

Why Intentional Meetings Matter

If you’re leading a real estate team or running a small business, every meeting should serve a strategic purpose. Whether you’re reviewing performance, setting goals, training your team, or solving a specific challenge—define the outcome before you even send out the invite.

Ask yourself:

• What is the goal of this meeting?

• What does success look like at the end of it?

• What action steps will attendees walk away with?

When your meetings are guided by purpose and focused on results, your team becomes more aligned, motivated, and productive.

The Real Cost of Wasted Time

Real estate professionals and business owners know that time literally is money. Every hour spent in a meeting with no value is an hour you could have spent prospecting, closing deals, or growing your business. It’s not just about cutting back on meetings—it’s about making every meeting count.

Meet with Purpose. Lead with Clarity.

Start treating meetings like strategic business tools, not casual conversations. Set an agenda, identify who needs to be in the room, define the objective, and always wrap with clear next steps.

Remember: Don’t meet unless there’s a reason. Don’t meet unless there’s a result.

So here’s the question: What’s been your personal experience with meetings that went nowhere? And what changed when you started leading with purpose?

Why Consistency Beats Timing in Real Estate Success: Stay the Course and Win Big

By Jeremy Williams, Team Leader of the Red Hawk Property Team powered by JLA Realty, and Owner and Head Coach at Red Hawk Coaching

Success doesn’t always follow effort on a convenient schedule. Sometimes, you can be doing everything right—putting in the hours, making the calls, showing up day after day—and the results still lag behind.

If you’ve been grinding and wondering if it’s worth it… this message is for you.

The Hidden Growth Season

One of the hardest truths in business, whether you’re building a real estate career or launching any entrepreneurial venture, is that results don’t always show up right away.

There’s a season where the seeds you’ve planted are growing beneath the surface. You may not see it, but the roots are taking hold. The relationships you’re building, the habits you’re forming, the skills you’re sharpening—all of it is part of the unseen momentum.

Why This Season Matters

This is the season where most people quit.
It’s the “messy middle”—the point where doubt creeps in, motivation wanes, and comparison starts to steal your focus.

But here’s the reality:

You may be closer to wild success than you think.

It’s often just on the other side of staying consistent.

Keep Showing Up: Success Rewards Consistency

At Red Hawk Coaching, I work with real estate agents and entrepreneurs every day who are navigating these same emotions. And I remind them of one simple truth:

Consistency compounds.

Each action you take is either building momentum or slowing it down. If you give up now, you’ll never know how close you were to a breakthrough. But if you keep going, results will eventually catch up to your effort—and often in a big way.

How to Stay Motivated When the Results Are Delayed

Here are a few coaching strategies I recommend when you’re in that tough space:

• Revisit your “why.” Your vision has to be bigger than your frustration.

• Focus on progress, not perfection. Track actions taken, not just results.

• Surround yourself with encouragement. Who’s in your corner pushing you forward?

• Invest in growth. Read, train, and get coaching support that keeps your mindset strong.

You May Be One Step Away…

What if your next phone call, next showing, next open house, or next post is the one that changes everything?

You won’t know if you stop now.

This is your reminder: keep going. The gap between where you are and where you want to be might be much smaller than it feels today.

As both the Team Leader of the Red Hawk Property Team powered by JLA Realty, and the Head Coach at Red Hawk Coaching, I’ve seen this story unfold time and time again. The ones who succeed are not always the most talented—but they are always the most persistent.

Don’t quit too early. Stay in the fight. Your success is closer than you think.

Silence the Doubters: Why Believing in Yourself Beats Unwanted Advice Every Time

The Voices of Doubt: A Familiar Sound

When I launched my coaching business back in 2017, I can still vividly hear the voices of people—many of them close to me—saying things like:

• “That’s a bad idea.”

• “It’s too hard.”

• “You’re making a mistake going out on your own.”

It wasn’t just noise—it was coming from people I cared about. People who I thought would support me. But instead of encouragement, I got warnings and doubt.

Was launching my coaching business easy? Absolutely not. But I had something that outweighed the fear and criticism: confidence in myself and my abilities.

Round Two: Launching a Real Estate Team

A year and a half ago, I did it again—I launched a real estate team. And just like before, the voices returned.

This time, it was:
“You can’t do both and be successful.”
“You’re dividing your time.”

But again, I chose to trust in myself. Fast forward to today—my real estate team is 18 agents strong, serving both the Greater Houston area and the Texas Coastal Bend.

What others said couldn’t be done… is happening.

The Truth About Advice: Be Selective

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned along this journey is this:

Stop seeking unwarranted advice—especially from those who haven’t walked your path.

Sometimes the people closest to you, with the best intentions, can be your worst advisors. Their advice often comes from fear, not experience. It’s rooted in what they would or wouldn’t do—not what’s right for you.

So What Should You Do Instead?

• Believe in yourself. If you don’t, no one else will.

• Keep building your skill set. Mastery takes time and commitment.

• Measure your growth against who you were yesterday, not against someone else.

• Keep moving. And when things don’t go as planned, be willing to pivot.

Final Thoughts: Progress Over Perfection

Am I where I want to be in my businesses today? No—not yet. But I know this: I’m moving in the right direction. That’s what matters.

Keep showing up. Keep believing. And most importantly, keep building the life you want—not the one others think you should have.
