How I Got Here: The Power of Persistence
The journey to this stage began with a simple, humble request: “Hey, I’d really like to get on that stage.” I didn’t receive an immediate yes—in fact, the response was more of a “maybe next year.” But I didn’t let that deter me. I knew I had something valuable to share, so I kept asking, kept showing up, kept proving that I was serious.
Sometimes, persistence can feel like a burden to those on the receiving end, but it’s also a testament to the strength of your conviction. And now, here I am, ready to share with you what I believe can truly make a difference in your life and business.
Taking the Stage: The Clicker Fiasco
The moment I stepped on stage, my nerves were palpable. I fumbled with the clicker, trying to figure out which button did what. But once I got it, I was off and running, eager to dive into the heart of my message: how to attract amazing people into your life and business.
I introduced myself as Huy, someone who started with just two people in my group and built it up, step by step, to over 300 people in my revenue share organization. It wasn’t easy—far from it—but persistence and belief in what I was doing carried me through.
The Popcorn Principle: Keep Working at It
Like popcorn kernels that suddenly start popping all at once after seeming dormant for so long, my business grew in leaps and bounds after a long period of struggle. That’s the magic of persistence—keep working at it, and eventually, success will come.
Mindset, Action, and the Donut Analogy
When you’re struggling, it’s easy to focus on what’s not working—the hole in the donut, so to speak. But I challenged the audience to focus on the “meat” of the donut, the part that matters. At the core of my success were two things: mindset and action. If you have one without the other, you’re spinning your wheels.
I shared how I became convinced, deep down, that my company, eXp Realty, was the best solution out there. And that conviction drove me to take relentless action, to focus on solutions rather than problems.
Why I Love eXp Realty
I urged everyone to think about why they love their company. For me, it wasn’t just about equity or revenue sharing—it was about the people. The community at eXp is what I cherish the most. It’s the friendships, the shared goals, and the support that make this company special.
I encouraged the audience to write down their own reasons for loving eXp and to use those reasons to attract others who share the same values.
Commitment: The Key to Success
One of my favorite quotes is from Grant Cardone: “I’d rather commit to the wrong thing 100 percent rather than to the right thing 50%.” Commitment is everything. If you’re not fully committed, you’re setting yourself up for failure. I talked about how, just like any relationship, success in business requires daily work and commitment.
Adding Value and Building Relationships
Nobody likes to be recruited. What people appreciate is value. I emphasized the importance of adding value to others—whether through mentorship, coaching, or simply being there when they need you. And when you do that, people will naturally be drawn to you.
Leveraging Events and the Power of Storytelling
One of the best ways to add value is by inviting people to events where they can see the culture and community firsthand. I shared how events have played a crucial role in my own growth and how they can do the same for others.
I also stressed the importance of storytelling—sharing success stories, whether they’re yours or someone else’s. Stories resonate. They make the benefits of joining eXp Realty real and tangible.
The Daily Affirmations: Words to Live By
I ended my presentation with something deeply personal—my daily affirmations. Words have power, and I use them to shape my mindset and my day. I invited the audience to join me in these affirmations, a powerful reminder of our potential and our goals:
- I am building my own financial empire with eXp Realty.
- I am a leader of people, changing thousands of lives.
- I am the top attractor in my company today.
- People are dying to be on my team.
- I am a champion, a warrior for freedom, a caring teammate, and a fearless leader.
Conclusion: Persistence Pays Off
In conclusion, I wanted to leave everyone with this thought: don’t ever speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your words have power. Use them to uplift yourself and others, and you’ll be amazed at the results.
My journey to this stage wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. And I hope my story and my message inspire you to keep pushing forward, to keep adding value, and to keep building the life and business of your dreams.
Thank you for being here and for letting me share this moment with you. Together, we can achieve greatness.
