I just turned the final page on Simon Sinek’s Start With Why, a book that has challenged me to think deeper about purpose. The core message? People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it. When your “why” is clear, it influences everything—your decisions, your relationships, and ultimately, your legacy.
Now, I’m diving into Leaders Eat Last, where Sinek explores what true leadership looks like. Spoiler alert: it’s not about power, status, or titles—it’s about creating environments where people feel safe, valued, and inspired. It’s about serving others first.
This transition between the two books feels natural. Why gets you rooted in purpose; Leaders Eat Last takes you into action, showing how that purpose is lived out in leadership.
For me, this isn’t just reading—it’s a discipline. I believe in being an eternal student. The real estate industry (and business in general) is constantly changing. The agents, lenders, escrow officers, and clients I serve deserve someone who is always sharpening the saw, always striving to be better. That commitment to growth isn’t just personal—it makes me a stronger partner, a better leader, and a more valuable resource.
So let me ask you:
- 📚 What are you currently reading—or listening to—that is pushing you to be better daily?
- 💡 More importantly, what is your why? What drives you when things get challenging?
Because at the end of the day, our“why” fuels our resilience, and our growth shapes our impact.
Drop your thoughts below—I’d love to learn from you.
