Evergreen Marketing (formerly CarrotCast)

I'm crazy excited about today's guest. Let me introduce you to Tyler Ford because his story is exactly why we do what do here at Carrot. People ask us why we do what we do. It's not for the lead generation side of things. That's what we do. That's how we help our clients crush it and grow predictable, consistent, profitable businesses. They finally have freedom, flexibility, finances, and can make an impact. That's why we do it. That's what we do. Why we do it is exactly Tyler's story. He's gonna walk through how he was ... he's been in real estate for 20 years, and he was about to give up his entire business January of 2017, and he made one change that he's gonna be talking about on the episode of the CarrotCast that made 2018 the best start to his real estate career he's ever had, the happiest he's ever been in his business, and he's also growing and growing his businesses. It's still just him and his wife flipping but he's growing his agent business and he's insanely happy. He's gaining momentum, and every one of us wants momentum. As entrepreneurs, momentum is so, so important. When you don't have it, you can feel it. You're down, you're out, you're getting stressed, you're tired. You just don't feel like you're doing the right things. When you have it, nothing can go wrong and that's where Tyler is right now. So, if you guys wanna know how he unlocked that momentum, and how he went from almost giving up his 20-year real estate business January of 2017 to now, completely shifted, happy, most profitable as ever, he's gonna tell you. But first, he mentions a couple episodes of the CarrotCast in here that changed his life, and some of these things were some of those pivotal points for him that changed his mindset, that got him thinking in a different way. So, key into those podcast episodes. One of them is my Five Non-Negotiables episode. We've actually done this one twice, go back in the archives in iTunes or on . Find that one about . That one changed my life and Tyler mentioned it changed his life as well. There are a couple other resources in there, too. I want you to go to , T-Y-L-E-R, and you're gonna be able to go to this episode if you're listening to it on iTunes or watching it on YouTube, and you're gonna be able to download Tyler's formula that he developed in conjunction with our formula during 2017 that helped him get that momentum. So, this is basically a process of formula that you can follow if you're in a spot in your business to where you're not having as much fun as you wanna have or it's not as profitable as you wanna have it. You might even be thinking about giving up, or you don't have the momentum. This formula Tyler walks through is exactly how you can get it. Without further ado, let's welcome in Tyler Ford. ➨Our CEO, Trevor Mauch's Entrepreneur Freedom Formula Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/EFF ➨ Facebook Group for Evergreen Marketing: https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialcarrotcommunity ➨Subscribe to our YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GetCarrot ➨Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/getcarrot/ ➨Take a demo of Carrot.com: https://carrot.ly/GQ8I Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
