In this episode of The Real and Raw Show, host John Marrone dives into the psychological traps that keep us stuck: living in the unchangeable past or the unpredictable future. If you find yourself paralyzed by regret or overwhelmed by anxiety about what's next, this episode offers a practical framework to pull yourself back into the only place where life actually happens—the present. John breaks down the emotional cost of "mental time travel" and provides a step-by-step guide to finding "neutral" when your mind starts to race. Key Takeaways from the Episode: The Three Places We Live: Understanding how the past breeds regret and depression, while the future breeds anxiety and stress. The "Parking Spot" Trap: Why looking to the future is good for planning, but dangerous when you "park" there and let imagined outcomes dictate your peace. Clarity is a Two-Step Process: Why you can't think your way into clarity; it requires a combination of thought followed immediately by action. The "Neutral" Framework: A four-step process to reclaim the present: Notice: Recognize when you've drifted into the past or future. Name it: Label the emotion (fear, shame, guilt) to strip it of its power. Neutralize: Use breath, prayer, or journaling to come back to the center. Next Step: Identify the single best action you can take right now. The Power of "Right Now": Why your next level of success doesn't start yesterday or tomorrow—it starts with being fully available in this exact moment. Stop grieving old versions of yourself and start focusing on the person you are becoming. The present is where your power lives.

In this episode of The Real and Raw Show, host John Marrone shares an urgent message for anyone feeling overwhelmed, stuck in a dark season, or tempted by old habits. Reflecting on 1 Corinthians 10:13, he explores the promise that no challenge is beyond your ability and that there is always a way forward if you are willing to look for the "light switch". Key Takeaways from the Episode: Pushed but Not Broken: Understand that you will not be tempted beyond your ability, and even in the heaviest storms, a way of escape is provided. Release the Baggage: Realize that your progress is often stalled because you are holding onto "heavy baggage" from an old version of yourself. Stop Standing Still: If you are feeling stuck, the solution is to start moving toward a better version of yourself, even if it's just one small step at a time. The Next Best Step: True transformation doesn't require solving every problem at once; it requires identifying and taking only the next best step. Finding the Light: Recognize that you aren't alone in the dark; many have been there before, found the light, and are ready to help you find your own escape. It's time to stop waiting for the storm to pass and start dancing in it. Reclaim your peace and commit to the next chapter of your life.

Resurrection Season is about the resurrection of Jesus. But what if it's about the resurrection that needs to happen within us as well? In this episode, we dive into what needs to die in your life so something new can truly live. The old mindset. The old habits. The old stories. The old version of you that keeps holding on to comfort, fear, excuses, or patterns that no longer serve where God is calling you to go. Because resurrection is not just about celebration — it is also about surrender. Before new life comes, something old has to be released. This episode is a powerful conversation around personal transformation, spiritual growth, and the courage it takes to let the old you die so the new you can rise. We talk about identity, habits, healing, belief, and what it really looks like to step into a new season with intention. If you have been feeling stuck, stretched, or like God is trying to do something new in you, this episode is for you. It may be your resurrection season too. Break Old Patterns & Build New Habits If this message hits home and you know it is time to break old patterns, build new habits, and step into the next version of who you are meant to become, coaching may be the next step.

In this powerful episode of The Real and Raw Show, host John Marrone tackles a toxic trend that is stealing your time, your joy, and your business growth: the obsession with online debating. John gets real about the "sickening" amount of energy people spend battling in the comments sections of social media over matters they cannot control. Whether it's the Super Bowl halftime show or government policies, John argues that your obsession with being "right" in a digital argument is likely the very thing preventing you from being successful in your real life. Key Takeaways from the Episode: The Cost of Distraction: Why your effort in online debates is maximized while your effort in your business is minimal. The Illusion of Winning: Even when you "win" an online argument, you lose hours of time that could have been spent on your health, family, or finances. Control the Controllable: The dangerous link between focusing on external world issues and the rise of personal anxiety and depression. Unattach to Reattach: Why you must disassociate from things you cannot change to reattach to the actions that actually move the needle in your life. Defining a "Profitable Life": Why true profit isn't just about money—it's about peace, healthy relationships, and a focused mind. It's time to stop the b******t and get your peace back. If you want a higher quality of life, you have to stop the constant bickering with strangers and start looking inward at what you can actually fix.

This episode explores a powerful mindset shift: the best answer to an obstacle is usually a better question. Host John Marrone shares how to move past the paralysis of starting a new business, getting back on track with fitness, or managing a packed schedule by getting curious instead of getting frustrated. Key Takeaways from the Episode: The Power of the Pivot: Why most people quit when they feel overwhelmed, and how to stay committed even when your "season of life" shifts. The Magic Question: When faced with an impossible task, stop and ask: "If I were to do this, how would I?". This simple prompt shifts your brain from "I can't" to "How can I?" The "But" Trap: Learn why the word "but" is often the reason people fail and how to replace it with "and" to maintain momentum. Quality of Life = Quality of Questions: John breaks down why your income in sales and your overall quality of life are directly proportional to the questions you ask your prospects and yourself. Leveraging Your Network: How to identify who in your circle can provide the advice, accountability, or feedback you need to execute at a higher level. Don't let overwhelm stop your progress. Use these three questions to release the want to quit and create the clarity to commit.

Episode Description: The 75 Shift Challenge for Real Estate Success In this episode of The Real and Raw Show, host John Marrone breaks down the 75 Shift Challenge. This is a sustainable alternative to intense fitness challenges, designed specifically to help real estate professionals uplevel their business through small, simple steps. While many agents struggle because the "little things" aren't being done, this challenge focuses on creating a new DNA for your business and lifestyle. What You'll Learn: The "S" in Shift (Skills): Why practicing your craft for 15 minutes a day, five days a week, is the key to increasing your income; if you want to increase your pay, you must increase your roleplay. The "H" (Health): Simple daily requirements including drinking at least half a gallon of water, a 20-minute workout, and waking up at a set time. The "I" (Intentionality): The power of making 35 dials a day and asking for at least one appointment daily to build a predictable pipeline. The "F" (Feedback): Using three simple reflection questions—Where did I win? Where did I miss? What do I need to fix?—to gain the self-awareness necessary for growth. The "T" (Tracking): Why you aren't truly running a business unless you know your numbers, and how tracking dials, contacts, and appointments allows you to reverse-engineer your goals. John emphasizes that unlike short-term challenges that lead to a "rebound," the 75 Shift is sustainable, creating lasting habits to help you reach the results you are aiming for.

This level of dedication requires significant personal sacrifices, including time away from family and friends and foregoing other interests Mental Toughness: The psychological aspect of training is just as important as the physical. Athletes must develop resilience to overcome setbacks and maintain focus under pressure. Mental training, including visualization and meditation, is a crucial part of their regimen Support System: Success in the Olympics isn't achieved alone. Athletes rely on coaches, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and a supportive network of family and friends. This team helps manage all aspects of their training and recovery Adaptability and Continuous Improvement: Athletes constantly analyze their performance and make adjustments to improve.

Techniques like stress management, meditation, and maintaining a positive outlook can help. Support System: Building a strong network is crucial. Realtors should surround themselves with mentors, join real estate groups, and foster relationships with other professionals like mortgage brokers, inspectors, and lawyers who can provide valuable support and referrals Adaptability and Continuous Improvement: Just like athletes, realtors need to continuously analyze their performance and seek ways to improve. This could involve taking new courses, seeking feedback from clients, and staying adaptable to new technologies and marketing strategies By adopting the methods and mindset of Olympic athletes, realtors can elevate their careers from good to great, achieving success in the competitive world of real estate.

I remember writing goals down and then erasing them or crossing them out just because I didn't have the belief I could hit them, therefore, creating smaller goals. And crazy enough I would hit those small goals and never really be satisfied because the real goal wasn't that it was much bigger, yet I was too afraid to dream bigger. Have you ever felt like this or do you currently feel like this? This must stop now, you must dream bigger and when you think it's big enough dream even bigger than that. Sometimes when writing goals I ask myself "If I told these my goals in a room full of billionaires would they think I'm dreaming big enough and the answer was always NO. You can have whatever you want in this life but you have to dream bigger put focus and energy into those dreams. Honestly, not just dreams but your imagination is so strong, imagine who you want to build relationships with, the experiences you want to have, the money want to make the kids you want to have, the lives you want to change. Then go all in and put massive energy attention and focus on those goals. ACTION step: First, figure out what you want in life and what success looks like. Then ask yourself "Is it actually big enough and is that truly what I want or am I playing it safe because I'm scared?"Then from there, it's quite simple, take massive action with extreme discipline holding yourself to a higher standard, adding massive self-awareness. Making sure you do the shit you don't want to do when you know you need to do it. #imagine #imagination #dreams Visit www.gorealestatemastery.com for Real Estate Agent coaching with John Marrone.
