75: Mike Parker: Why You Need A Little Elbow Grease

Mike Parker has been doing what he loves for over 28 years. Growing up a farmer Mike began his real estate career after a near fatal experience while working at a Power Plant. After spending 57 days in the hospital burn unit and another 2 years in therapy Mike decided to find a career that he could be passionate about. Mike missed nearly 3 months of work last year due to some health issues but that didn’t stop his team from closing nearly 100 units. Learn how by using a little elbow grease you can create a business that is profitable with or without you present.

What does it take to be a Real Estate Rockstar? Join us as Mike shares his realtor mindset and a glance at his journey to becoming a Real Estate Rockstar after a near fatal accident.

Biggest Lesson

  • We all make mistakes throughout our life time, but as long as we learn from it we are better off because of it. Mike’s biggest hiccup came in 1995 when the internet started to slowly become popular. Mike decided to give up direct mailers which he says accounts for nearly 500 sides that he and his team have missed out on over the years.
