Episode 41: Why You Should Blend Your Spirituality with Busines

The Authentic Agent Podcast

Brandon sits down with his very first guest so far on the show, Margaret “Mo” Smith! Mo is the CEO of I Love it When, a coaching, consulting, training, and retreat company for Entrepreneurs and their Operators. Mo shares why it’s important to have a spiritual side to your business and the positive impacts meditation and slowing things down can have for your mental wellbeing. In this hour-long discussion, join Brandon and Mo as they talk about unselfish selfishness, being your true self as a business owner, and tapping into your spirituality.

Key Takeaways

• Mo shares what holds people back the most in their business.
• We have so many distractions thrown at us constantly. It’s important to have a sense of spirituality within business. Mo explains what she means by that.
• Mo was fed up and done with the mediocre. She wanted to make an impact.
• The chatter in your head doesn’t get worse when you sit down and meditate. If anything, it makes you aware of how much noise is going on in your head.
• Meditation is not the absence of thought. It is the recognition of thoughts and letting them go.
• Mo has discovered the best kind of learning is through experiential learning. She doesn’t want to just “talk.” She wants to engage with her audience.
• Mo has gotten more in touch with her intuition and, guess what, she’s been rewarded for it.
• How do you perform to the highest level of standard without being trapped in the “hustle” and “grind” of out-competing everyone?
• Before getting involved in real estate, Mo did social work. This has helped her have more empathy and understanding towards others.
• All humans feel the same sort of core emotions. Fear of rejection, fear of failure, and more. However, when you challenge yourself and start seeing the growth, it becomes contagious.
• What’s the reason you got into real estate?
• The real estate industry is like the diet industry. Everyone’s jumping on the bandwagon of the hottest “trends” to get you leads.
• Mo is a recovering people-pleaser. It’s so easy to get caught up in trying to make everyone happy.
• Mo decided to put herself first. When you find ways to make yourself happy, more good things end up happening to you.
• You only need a select amount of true fans, but real estate agents are trying to be everything to everyone.
• Brandon thinks a lot of people in real estate are actually introverted masking themselves as extroverted.
• Brandon had to give himself permission and tell himself it’s okay to not go to every social event out there.
• When you’re at a conference, just pick ten people you want to network with. Ten! Focus your energy on that.
• No matter what, don’t worry about being an introvert!
• Mo highly encourages you to do a solo trip, no phone, no nothing, for three days. People get so uncomfortable with being alone with their own thoughts.
• Why does Mo believe she’s been on this planet more than once?
• Your ego can only exist in the past or the future.
• Even if you’re not a spiritual person, lean in with curiosity and explore this world with new eyes.
