Enjoy this replay from September 15, 2025, with Senior Associate Leader Shane Harris as he dives into what it means to live with an eternal time perspective. From 2 Corinthians 4, he explores time as our most precious resource: short, limited, and costly. Generosity is not just about money; it is about how we steward our schedules, priorities, and availability to God. With biblical truth, practical examples, and personal testimony, this message calls us to see time through God’s purposes and invites us to surrender our calendars to Him.

Shane Harris | Generosity of Time: Surrender Your Schedule To God

What if the only thing separating you from the business and life you want isn’t money, the market, or your competition—but you? In Episode 296 of Take Flight Weekly, I dive into the uncomfortable truth that success often comes down to one thing: your willingness to execute consistently on the basics.

This is not theory. This is practical coaching designed to give you a mirror. I will walk you through a series of questions that, if you answer honestly and commit to acting on them, could change the trajectory of your business and your life. These are habits and strategies that cost almost nothing—yet they can transform everything.

• We are closing out Q3 2025, and now is the time to get honest with yourself:
• Are you further ahead today than you were at the end of Q2?
• Have you built sustainable daily, weekly, and quarterly planning habits?
• Are you connecting with 10 clients or prospects every single week?
• Have you created cloud-based systems and standard operating procedures to streamline your business?
• Are you converting clients from low-cost lead sources consistently?

If you could answer “yes” to those questions by the end of 2026, would you celebrate? The truth is, none of those results require massive spending. They require commitment, discipline, and focus. The difference between finishing another year frustrated or finally building a predictable, enjoyable business comes down to you.

I share my personal story of what I call my “real estate heart attack” in 2008, when stress and uncertainty forced me to wake up at 3:30 a.m. to work on my business. Those early mornings, spent learning, planning, and improving myself, built the foundation of everything I teach today. The lesson? You don’t have to spend money to get results. You just have to invest in yourself.

By early Q4 2025, your 2026 business plan should be written and in motion. That plan is not about doing more—it’s about becoming more. Consistency. Execution. The boring, unsexy work that compounds over time into extraordinary results.

This episode is your one-on-one coaching session. Listen carefully, take notes, and then take action. Because at the end of the day, the only thing standing between you and success is you.

PREMIERE: Time Management - 2001 Space Odyssey [Gadget Recs]

On this 300th episode of Take Flight Weekly, I want to teach you one of the simplest, most effective habits for running your business like a professional: the weekly planning session. If you've ever wondered how elite-level entrepreneurs and advisors stay focused, consistent, and calm in the middle of chaos, it's not luck—it comes down to elite-level planning and staying in a rhythm of consistency. Their weeks are built by design.

The weekly planning session is your reset button, your opportunity to move from week to week proactively. It sets up each week to ensure that what you're doing each day aligns with your quarterly goals, annual goals, and your 3 Year Vision. Done right, it's the single most important 60 to 90 minutes of your week.

When you run a high-performance business, you can't wing it. No one is that good. A weekly planning session ensures you're grounded, focused, and prepared—moving seamlessly from week to week. Without it, you drift into reactive mode, chasing what's urgent instead of what's important. With it, you gain control of your calendar, energy, and your outcomes.

Best Practices for a Weekly Planning Session:

→ Create a recurring calendar invite. Choose the same time every week. Allow 60–90 minutes. Protect this block like a client meeting.
→ Review all correspondence from the previous week. Ask yourself: Did I miss an opportunity?
→ Review your previous week's calendar. Identify what worked, what didn't, and what needs follow-up.
→ Review your upcoming week. What events or meetings need preparation?
→ Review your CRM. Identify your "Next 10"—the retention and conversion process.
→ Identify one project that aligns with your quarterly goal.
→ Review your 3 Year Vision. See it. Feel it. Experience it in advance.

When you treat your weekly planning session as a non-negotiable, you'll find yourself more grounded, better prepared, with way fewer missed opportunities. You'll walk into Monday playing on offense without the anxiety of not being prepared.

Calculate the monetary value of the missed opportunities with your clients just in the last year. What's that number? $1M, $5M, $15M in production? What did you leave on the table?

Get out your calendar right now and schedule a recurring appointment with yourself for 60-90 minutes each week.

✈️ Take Flight Weekly,  Episode #300: Win the Week: The Power of a Weekly Planning Session

"Beyond Scarcity: Time"

“The Art of Saying No” explores how true productivity and leadership come from disciplined focus, not endless “yeses.” Every “yes” carries a hidden cost, crowding out time for meaningful, strategic work. Saying no isn’t selfish but essential. It’s the act of protecting your time, energy, and sanity. Explore practical ways to decline requests gracefully, like using “not now” or “let’s revisit this next quarter,” and dive into the concept of a “No Portfolio” to track intentional decisions. Saying no is an act of leadership, because focus isn’t luck, it’s strategy in action.

The Art of Saying No


Welcome to the 301st episode of Take Flight Weekly. Today, I introduce my word for 2026: RightSize. It's more than a word—it's a mindset I'll use throughout 2026.
RightSizing is about creating alignment between who you are, what you want, and how you operate. For some, it means scaling back; for others, expanding. It could mean eliminating the unnecessary, moving up in quality, or moving down in volume to make room for what truly matters and creates an ROI or ROT (return on time).

RightSizing is a philosophy rooted in awareness and discipline. It's about resisting the pull toward "more" and choosing what's right. It's making decisions based on energy, alignment, and outcome. In a world that glorifies growth at any cost, RightSizing is the counter-move.
Over time, we accumulate commitments, systems, and clients that no longer fit. We add before we edit. We say yes because we can, not because we should. The result? Overwhelm, inefficiency, and a business that feels heavy instead of freeing.

RightSizing forces you to create boundaries and audit your time. Are your goals still yours, or have they become someone else's expectations? Is your business operating at 30,000 feet, or are you still in constant takeoff mode?

10 Areas to RightSize in 2026:
→ Your Business Model – Built for profit, predictability, and joy?
→ Your Team – Right people in the right seats?
→ Your Client Base – Working with clients who energize you?
→ Your Time – How much is proactive vs. reactive?
→ Your Marketing – Focus on consistency over complexity
→ Your Systems – Eliminate what's redundant
→ Your Financial Structure – Align expenses with your vision
→ Your Health & Energy – Peak performance or running on fumes?
→ Your Space – Inspiring or cluttering your headspace?
→ Your Vision – Does your 3-Year Vision still excite you?

RightSizing sets you up for the next level. In 2026, refuse to live on autopilot. Audit your commitments, align your priorities, and design 2026 to reflect what truly matters.

What is your word for 2026?

Welcome to episode 302 of Take Flight Weekly. Today, I walk you through one of the most critical conversations an elite-level producer can have: the client qualification and selection process.

Too many advisors blindly accept every opportunity. I learned 2 things: No listings are better than listings that never get sold because of unrealistic expectations. And 20% of your clients steal 80% of your joy.
Today, I'll break down a simple three-strike qualification framework that protects your time, energy, and brand integrity.

The Elite Producer Mindset
Elite-level producers aren't order takers; they're curators of fit. They operate like true fiduciaries. Their time, expertise, and marketing dollars are reserved for clients who respect their process.

When you qualify leads effectively, you attract clients who value your professionalism. This isn't about arrogance; this is about protecting your time.

Tactical Framework: The Three Strikes Rule
→ Strike One: Source of Business
Ask: "How did you hear about me?" If it isn't a referral within two degrees of separation, note it. Referrals indicate trust. Cold leads require more time and energy.
→ Strike Two: Competition Check

Ask: "How many agents are you interviewing?" If you're the only one, great. If they're talking to others, note the second strike. Multiple interviews mean they're shopping, not selecting.

→ Strike Three: Motivation and Mindset
Ask: "Are you looking for full-service marketing, or focused on a specific net number?" If the conversation turns to net proceeds, not market value, that's strike three.

The Professional Walk-Away Script

"I don't think I'm the right fit for your listing. I'm not the cheapest in the marketplace. I'm full-service and full exposure. I invest heavily in marketing and my team. Most of my business comes from relationships built on trust. Talk to other advisors and decide the best fit. If it doesn't feel right, call me back."

That's not rejection. That's disciplined leadership.

Building Your Championship Roster

Look at every spot on your client roster like a GM building a sports team. You only have so many roster spots. Choose carefully.
Remember: "Fit." Does a client "fit" your business model?
