Unbelievable success in business is a byproduct of discipline, focus, skill, consistency, work ethic and habit, but the result isn’t what’s extraordinary or commendable.
What we should celebrate is the ability to follow a simple process consistently, even in the face of boredom and the lure of shiny, new things.
How do we relentlessly get better at the ordinary activities that lead to success, and stick to the core fundamentals when boredom sets in?
In today’s episode, we share insights on what it takes to achieve an uncommon level of success, and the biggest challenge you’ll face on this journey.
"Going all in on the new opportunity is letting go of your core, that’s called a replacement. If you keep your core and you explore the new opportunity, that’s an enhancement." -Greg Harrelson
Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
- Why success isn’t as glamorous as you think
Extraordinary results come from the repetition of ordinary activities. What are “listing machine” agents doing every single day to perform at a high level?
- How to stay consistent when repetition and consistency gets boring
Human beings seek out and crave change, which flies in the face of the consistency and repetition needed to achieve anything extraordinary. How do we keep our need for variety away from our business fundamentals?
- The difference between an enhancement and a replacement
An enhancement adds to our core fundamentals, a replacement eliminates the fundamentals. Why is the latter a risky move?

Building on the right model and focusing on the right metrics is the key to getting the early wins, and setting yourself up for a profitable future. Success isn’t just about a return on investment, it’s about a return on your time. In a volatile market, net cash flow and a steady ship is more important than appreciation and big numbers.
In today’s episode, we’re joined by a real estate entrepreneur who left corporate, and started a brokerage and investing operation that weathered the financial storm of 2020.
How did he reverse engineer a successful transition from corporate to entrepreneurship? Why is he more focused on cash flow than net worth in this market?
In this episode, real estate broker, investor, entrepreneur, active landlord and co-owner of Naples Home Buyers & Naples Realty Group, Dom Santaniello shares how to build a solid real estate operation from the ground up and bring it to stability in 18 months.
"Our portfolio value is going to go down, based on where we are in the market. We’re focused on building the cash flow that’s going to power us through the downturn." -Dom Santaniello
Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
- How to leave corporate and have a soft landing in real estate
Could you be losing money and valuable time holding onto your fixed salary, and how can you cover your living expenses with your first rental property?
- Why net cash flow is the most important metric with rentals
As markets shift, the value of your portfolio is going to fluctuate. How do we make sure our “salary” stays the same even if our “stock price” goes down?
- The power of combining real estate sales and investing
Being an investor makes you a better agent, and being an agent makes you a better investor. How does Dom Santaniello use both to create the ultimate service for clients?

Real estate agents are great at generating money in hot markets, but when it comes to keeping it in down markets, not so much.
Where are we going so wrong, and how should we be switching up the strategies we’ve used until this point? Is it even possible to stay in a strong financial position in any market?
