We’re launching the Zero to Hero Book Club. Our first book is The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth About Extraordinary Results by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. Why this book? Real estate gives us an endless list of priorities, tools and distractions. This book will help us identify the highest-leverage action, protect time for it and follow through consistently. We meet every Thursday from 6:30–7:00 AM Pacific. START HERE 1. Get a copy of the book. 2. Read Chapters 1–3. 3. Come ready to answer: What is the ONE Thing you can do this week such that by doing it everything else becomes easier or unnecessary?

We are not waiting until January to start setting goals. Zero to Hero in Real Estate is not just a teaching classroom. It is an action and accountability community. What is the number-one tangible result you want to achieve by December 31, 2026? Create your own post in the Goals and Accountability category titled: [Your Name] - 2026 Goal Tell us: 1. Your number-one goal 2. Why it matters to you 3. The measurable result that will prove you achieved it 4. Your next 90-day target 5. Your first action this week Declaring your goal gives the community an opportunity to encourage you and help keep you accountable. If you would rather keep your goal private, message Rico or Chris directly inside Skool. We can still help you build the plan and stay accountable. Start where you are. The goal is to become the hero in your own story.

This isn't just for agents with zero deals or zero leads. This is for any agent who wants real ideas, real strategies, and a real path to building a profitable, location-independent real estate business, no matter where you're starting from. I'm Rico, and alongside me is Chris Albanese — 25+ years in real estate, mentor to the Raven Team, and someone who's helped agent after agent go from struggling to thriving. This idea was born in one of the toughest real estate markets we've seen — and that's exactly why we're building it. We're starting right here in BC, and because we're with eXp Realty, we have the opportunity to take this global. Most "real estate gurus" sell you a course and disappear. We're doing this differently. We're building this community IN PUBLIC — testing tools, apps, and strategies live, sharing what works and what doesn't, and giving you a real path forward. This is a free community, open to any agent who wants to be part of it. Here's what you get inside: → Weekly live sessions with Chris → Real scripts, templates, and systems (not theory) → A community of agents building alongside you, not competing in secret As we grow, we'll open up a paid tier for agents who want to go deeper — direct access to the apps and tools we test, hands-on coaching, and the full step-by-step system. More on that soon. Drop a comment: what's the #1 thing you want to figure out to make your real estate business more profitable? Tell us — we're building this around YOU.
