Dr. Dave’s Flashback Fridays

by | Nov 2, 2019

Earlier this month, we celebrated our one-year anniversary of publishing daily under the Recruiting Insights brand.

Over the last year, our subscription base has grown significantly, and we have many new faces who have joined the discussion.

Thanks for all the positive feedback many of you have provided on our new format.

Previous to Recruiting Insights, we published under the WorkPuzzle brand for several years.

During those years, Dr. Dave Mashburn and I wrote more than 700 articles on recruiting, coaching, and individual performance. Some of these articles were recorded as short podcasts, as well.

Over the next few months, we’re going to revisit some of Dr. Dave’s best articles and podcasts on Friday of each week.

There’s a lot of great content our new readers have not heard, and our seasoned readers may have forgotten by now.

To get the Dr. Dave’s Flashback Friday party started, here is a link to a short podcast that I’ve shared with my kids several times over the last year when they were facing difficult circumstances.

It’s a lesson on fear and anxiety that we all need to remember.

Look for Individuals Who Want to be Measured

It’s not that people with a growth mindset don’t experience failure—they just see failure as an opportunity to learn new things, to be challenged, and to experience curiosity. This is an important topic to cover during interviews and follow-up conversations with your prospects. If you find someone who likes being measured, you’ve likely found someone who will push through the inherent failures of growing a real estate business and experience long-term success.
