In part one I gave you the six accounts, now here’s how to fill them. 10% goes to savings. Personal expenses — Look at what you spent last year on average per month. Divide that by your average monthly income. Move the decimal two places. That’s your percentage. This will be your largest allocation. We’re solving for you first. Business operations — Same formula. What did it cost to run your business last year? Divide by income. That’s your percentage. Personal growth + business growth — Look at what’s left. Pull out 5% and split it in half. Half to personal growth, half to business growth. Personal account — That other 5% goes here. The watch, the purse, the thing you want. It comes from here only. Then build a spreadsheet. Address, GCI, net, allocations. Every deal closes and the math does itself. No more stress about where the money went. Every dollar already knows its job. Save this. Build the spreadsheet this week.

In part one I gave you the ...Six bank accounts every real estate agent actually needs. 1. Savings — 10% of every dollar you make. Non negotiable. If you can’t live on 90% of your income the problem isn’t your income. 2. Business growth — Not for your company. For you. Investing in yourself to grow. 3. Personal growth — Books, courses, coaching. Personal development only. 4. Business operations — Everything that runs your business comes from here. 5. Personal expenses — Everything you need on a personal level. 6. Personal — See something you want? It comes from here. But here’s the rule: earn everything first. Six accounts. Every dollar has a job before it lands. This is how real estate agents stop being broke on a good income and start actually building wealth. Save this. Set it up this week.

Six bank accounts every rea...Do the work before the work that makes the work work. And before you say it, I’m not talking about business cards and headshots. I’m talking about building a brand people actually trust. Showing up with content that solves your client’s problems before they ever have to ask. Educating. Serving. Consistency. That’s the whole game. Not the shiny new strategy. Not the platform you haven’t tried yet. The same thing, done well, over and over again until people can’t ignore you. Consistency builds the brand. The brand attracts the client. What does your perfect brand look like and who are you actually meant to serve? Drop it below.

Do the work before the work...Everyone gets a touch today. All of them. Not just the hot leads, not just the three you’ve been thinking about, everyone. Don’t overthink it. Worst case, “hey, I was thinking about you. Just wanted you to know I’m working on X for you.” That’s it. No magic. No perfect script. Just do the thing that gets the thing. That’s discipline.
