Cody Gibson has spent his life dealing with adversity that few can imagine. At the age of 12, he was paying his mother $75 a month to reside in a boat in their front yard, as she had rented out his former bedroom. In the third episode of The Millionaire Real Estate Agent Podcast, we delve into Cody’s remarkable story, and he shares the top lessons he’s learned from his experiences.

1. Mindset is Everything

Like many of us, Cody initially approached work with a conventional mindset, believing that he would simply exchange hours for a paycheck. However, his entry into the world of real estate quickly shattered this illusion. On his very first day, he was told that selling one house per week would guarantee him plenty of money. So, he dove headfirst into the real estate world, hosting open houses, responding to office leads, and discussing real estate with anyone willing to listen. It proved to be a winning strategy, as he sold 16 houses in 16 weeks. It was only until week 17 that he learned that most agents don’t actually sell a home a week, and he let this idea of “what most people do” interrupt his mindset and totally stop his progress.

From this experience, Cody learned an invaluable lesson: success hinges on the right thought process followed by the right actions. The sequence is crucial, as thinking precedes action.
