051: Using Calm Focus to Create Success with Ricky Carruth

Ricky Carruth is not like any other ultra successful entrepreneur I have interviewed. There is a HUGE Calm Focus, sense of neutrality and faith about him that is evident throughout our conversation. Growing  up in a hard working family filled with manual labor, Ricky was roofing with his father from about age 12 until he was 20 years old. When he got his real estate license in 2002, by age 23 he was a self-made millionaire, that is, until the market crashed. Ricky found himself bankrupt at the age 25 and forced back into roofing houses and worked at an oil rig for a year. Unlike SO MANY in real estate, This never derailed Ricky.  He figured out HOW he lost everything, decided to read over one-hundred books,  studied the market, And then In 2008 , when the market was REALLY crashing, he got back into real estate with a new game plan to always value relationships over transactions. THIS  actually WORKED in the WORST POSSIBLE real estate time. In 2014 Ricky became the #1 RE/MAX agent in the state of Alabama Twice. He now helps agents to reduce the failure rate in the industry. Join in today and learn first hand how Ricky LEVELED UP and created EVERYTHING from NOTHING. In this episode, you will learn: Why you don't have to follow the market How staying calm during hardship is key How to notice unnoticeable opportunity
