The New Belief, Behavior, Or Habits That Improved In His Life

Jeffrey Brogger:

In the last five years, what new belief behaviour or habit has most improved your life?

Brett Swarts:

In the last five years? I would say the biggest one was to I'll do, I'll give you a business one, and then I'll give you a spiritual one. For the business one, it's “Hi, my name is Brett Swarts. I'm a control holic.” Hi, I'm Brett Swarts, and I want to hire the who instead of being the how. Realizing that as entrepreneurs or as real estate professionals, we're very typically very, very driven people who want to do an amazing job, and believe what we can do better than anybody else. I'm very competitive, and I'm like I can do I can figure this thing out, I can do it anybody else. However, the challenge with that is it can typically be your time, your energy, and your stress. We have five kids and two podcasts, two businesses, and all this stuff, and what I found is I have to manage not only my time, but my energy, and I have to get out of my way of myself to be like what, go hire the who don't be the how. What does that mean? That means getting coaching, that means getting mentors, that means hiring teams.

I have, five on my team now, or how many will probably be 10 by the end of the year, and I had to give up that control, and practically what does that mean? That means giving information and giving permission for others to make decisions. When you can do that you can instil confidence in people and help them develop even if they're gonna make mistakes. Even though I can do as well as you are. That's okay. Why? Because eventually, they will own that area, and what does that you know, video editing, online, social media, underwriting properties, marketing packages. My highest and best use is to be in front of clients, connecting with them one on one, creating content, doing podcasts like this, and that's the thing I also love to do. I would say that's the biggest thing, hire the who don't be now on the spiritual side.

It's really for me, what I found is accepting and not only accepting but embracing, and for me, it's my Christian faith, the truth of God's word, not my feelings are what the world thinks, and I think there's a verse in the Bible, it's like let like God be true in every man a liar. It's like there are so many things that are vying for our attention and our hearts and our and want to take it even though I struggle with things that I don't want. I don't want it to take me there. I know it's not best for me. It's literally like saying like, the only that I believe but it's like I'm all in on accepting even when I don't feel like you're even when my logic sometimes doesn't necessarily add up per se on the things of God's Word. So that's I just accepting him, and when I did that, and I've done that, and again, it's not it's a constant thing. It's helped me to feel like be more centred, more grounded, more present for my family, and again, be able to maximize the gifts I've been given.
