I used to run a SWAT team in my previous career. We’d kick in doors, blow things up, save people. Then, I got in to the corporate world and become the CEO of the largest, most well known Real Estate Franchisor on the planet. I recently retired and moved on to coaching and consulting other CEO's and as you read this book... now you. Since I became CEO, my professional life is completely different. My approach, however, remains the same. My goal always is to break down barriers, blow up conventional thinking, and help as many people as possible achieve success. It defines who I am as an entrepreneur. It’s how I choose to lead RE/MAX, the top brand in real estate; Motto Franchising, the first national mortgage brokerage franchise in the U.S.; and booj, an award-winning real estate technology company. It’s why I choose to start every day with a win – to create habits and build momentum while working toward better opportunities for those I serve. In my experience, leadership is about mindset – about being a “we” rather than a “me.” It’s about knowing when to break the rules, why it’s important to challenge the status quo, and how to inspire others to achieve their own greatness. When I first entered RE/MAX World Headquarters in 2003, I did so as an independent contractor. I had served in the United States Marine Corps Reserves and with the Douglas County (Colorado) Sheriff’s Office. But I believed in creating the success I wanted. So I did. I developed S.A.F.E.R, Safety Awareness for Every Realtor, and presented the training program across North America. It brought me to RE/MAX, where I’ve been for the past 15 years and have served as CEO since early 2018. From the beginning, it’s been a perfect fit, in no small part due to the company’s and my shared mindset of constant improvement. If anything, my career is proof there’s power in charting your own course but finding your North Star. In the Marines, I learned that there’s a better system for everything. In law enforcement, I learned to outsmart my opponent by changing my approach. In business, I’ve learned that small achievements add up to big accomplishments. It’s all contributed to who I am. I’m a CEO. A volunteer police officer. A firearms instructor. A father and a husband. And in everything I do, I start with a win.
