Episode 43: The Journey of Success With AJ Mida

On today’s episode, Jerry and Jacobe are going to talk to AJ Mida. He started real estate ten years ago, and it has been a wild ride. He has achieved all of his financial goals through it and he now lives this cool lifestyle because of it and he is super grateful for that. Tune in for his story!

 

Episode Highlights:

• Jacobe asks, AJ, whenever you hear success without sacrifice, what does that mean to you?
• How do you really thrive?
• For real estate agents or an entrepreneur, the grind is where you have to put in the work, and you probably have to sacrifice certain things in your life to achieve the success you want to have, says AJ.
• AJ says that they constantly juggle balls, and some of the balls are glass, and some are rubber. If you drop the glass ball, it will shatter and never return to its original form, but the rubber ones will bounce back up. Same as relationships with your family, those are glass balls. 
• Jerry asks, AJ, walk me through the transition of how you started to get clear on your goals because I am assuming you didn’t have the clarity when you started in that hustle grind phase. 
• Halfway through the first year in real estate, AJ hired a coach, which taught him to focus. His focus became silver prospecting, and by the end of his first year, he had over 20 listings, which propelled him.
• When you get to know yourself and the other people involved with you, it is like these things are tertiary but not primary, says Jacobe.
• AJ, talks about the mindset shift that has happened for him and the different phases he went through getting to where he is now.
• AJ discovered that running a real estate business can make a lot of money, but it’s hard to have the freedom of time. 
• The third stream of income by being at EXP was the revenue share, which is essentially a residual income model for real estate agents, says AJ.
• What does it look like to have a mindset of being ready for an opportunity? 
• When it comes to big decisions, we need to have clarity because if you don’t know what you want or what you don’t want, you don’t know if it’s the right decision to make or not. 
• AJ says that success without sacrifice for him is enough residual income to pay your living expenses. This is an exercise that AJ learned called dream lining. 
• Whenever you hit your goals, your dreams, and you are financially successful, or whatever it is, and if you are at the top, it’s fantastic, says AJ.

 

3 Key Points:

1. AJ always wanted to achieve financial success because he did not grow up with a lot of money and saw many struggles that could come from not having money. So, he wanted to be financially successful. 
2. AJ always remained open-minded and clear on what he wanted most out of life: Financial freedom, time freedom, and location freedom.
3. AJ will build a team or referral network with 500 agents at EXP, where he gets paid a small referral fee on all these transactions. He explains what it is like.
