For a moment, it felt like everything stalled. Months passed without locking a deal, and it forces you to look in the mirror and really evaluate what you’re doing.

Months passed without locking a deal, and it forces you to look in the mirror and really evaluate what you’re doing.

When one marketing channel stopped working, my entire pipeline felt the impact. That’s when it became clear: relying on a single strategy is risky in this business. If one door closes, everything shouldn’t shut down with it.

I had the knowledge. I had the work ethic. But my execution wasn’t aligned. Same effort, wrong setup.

Once I adjusted my approach, tested new ways to reach motivated sellers, and focused on the right market, things started moving quickly. Multiple contracts locked in within days — not because I worked harder, but because I worked smarter.

One thing I’ve learned: grinding without direction will drain you. Applying the right strategy in the right place changes everything.

If you’re putting in the work and still not seeing results, don’t assume you’re failing. Sometimes the system just needs to be fixed.
