Peter Lorimer Podcast

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates.  Are you sick and tired? Of being sick and tired of NOT being where you want? Sick of half-assing. Tired of not "getting it". Sick of everything moving at a turtle's pace. Tired of wondering why you aren't where you want to be. I want to offer you this advice: get hungry and stop caring what other's think. I've failed so many times, I almost welcome it. The path to success never reveals itself. You have to keep going for it, knocking at the door. In order for me to grow, I have to keep trying new things all the time. I'm allergic to being stationary. If I'm trying new things, it goes without saying that I'm going to fail. It's about getting a lot done so I can figure out what I'm doing right... trial and error. Every decision I make either brings me closer to or further away

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. New year, new decade, new mindset. Three weeks in. Let's attack this year with a positive mindset. Don't stop yourself before you even begin. Many of us are waking up each morning in a heavy cloud of negativity. You trudge through the heavy, murky waters of prospecting with shackles of negativity chained to your ankles. Free yourself by visualizing your success. Manifest good things happening and evict the enemy that's whispering negative, self-deprecating thoughts. Manifest success. Don't worry about the results - we're Team Stay Out Of The Results and we win every time. Because we focus on what we can give to whatever it is we're doing. Focus on service, focus on giving, and focus on positivity. Leave everything else behind. Believe in you and believe that you can do it. He

Building your brand is crucial. It's crucial to your business and specifically to the longevity of it. Social media is getting saturated by big brands. This means you must get creative. Stand out by being yourself and putting that out into the digital world. Your voice must be heard. When creating content, or really with anything I've done, I follow my gut. I've learned to treat data as an indicator, not a navigator, of what I should be doing. I used to be obsessed with comments and likes. I watched the numbers and pandered to them. I created content that moved towards what I thought people wanted. My own voice wasn't heard. I stopped creating with that frame of mind and started creating things that I loved. And anytime I've done that, the end result has been immensely bette

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. I'd like to kick off 2020 with a valuable nugget that I live by. From the moment I wake up in the morning until the moment I lay my head on the pillow, this is true: give it all away. Anything you give away will enrich your career, be it success, knowledge, or secrets. I've found this to be true time and time again. This market, specifically Hollywood Hills and L.A., is incredibly cutthroat. Gigantic commissions lend themselves to intense competition. But that's not how I like to live. When I was in the music industry, there were two different types of producers. One type of producer held everything very close to the chest, and the other type freely gave. There was a super strong correlation between the ones that gave their items away and those that didn't. The ones that gave

People pleasing. It's a slow death, and it only hurts you. When I mention people-pleasing, I'm not talking about service. I believe offering paramount and unparalleled customer service is imperative and the backbone of what we do in real estate. People-pleasing sounds like that voice in your head that tells you that you're stupid, you're not good enough, and you're going to fail. It's self-deprecating and it stops you from progressing. It's career crushing. People-pleasing also looks a lot like answering that 10 pm call from a toxic client. That call that leaves feeling like shit about yourself immediately after. It's rooted in ego and fear. Ultimately, it's a boundaries issue. It's about not letting the negative voices inside your head and having enough self-respect to charg

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. Half measures mean nothing. In real estate, people will try something for 3 months and then they bail. They change tactics. That's a half measure. You have to be all in. There's no reason that you shouldn't - no matter your age or where you've come from. Everyone has to start somewhere. Don't worry about where that is for you, just start. Go into it with a positive attitude. Hope for success, but trust the result no matter what. And for love of all things beautiful - don't stop after three months. Give it your all, consistently and constantly for at least a year. Here's the deal: You will not be successful right off the bat. You won't understand it all the moment you begin. But the wonderful thing is this - you can act your way into right thinking, as opposed to thinking your

His is a great story about insurmountable odds, optimism, and authenticity. He was bullied throughout his entire childhood, he came to the United States with a check for the first year of school and a suitcase, and he built a company that grew by 5x in a few years. After 39 one-on-one interviews and intense training he learned deal structure from the inside out at Goldman Sachs. He then took that knowledge to help build things He's a builder; entrepreneurship is in his blood. And when he learned to not just solve problems but to solve problems for a profit, everything changed. We even got a little vulnerable in our conversation and talked about the Imposter Syndrome. It haunts entrepreneurs who have a difficult time internalizing success, but Sharran says it also keeps us humb

Winning has nothing to do with getting "what's mine" and everything to do with gratitude. Friends, if you woke up in the United States, you've already won. I realize that there are different levels of this and that there are people in our country that are struggling. That's why we need to be focusing on what we can contribute, instead of what we can get. Start the day with gratitude. When your eyes open, think: what does the day have in store and how can I give back? I grew up in a tough neighborhood, and learned from an early age to suck out of life what was mine. Now, I focus on what I can give back. Wake up with an attitude like that, and you've already won. Listen to this week's podcast as we uncover ways to win and charge forward with gratitude, hope, and ambition.

Be a glutton for data. Consume knowledge as much as possible. Fill the fringe time with the productive intake of education. It's everywhere. YouTube, Instagram, blogs, podcasts. Pick your poison and go all-in with investing in YOU. One of the biggest downfalls I see is realtors not investing in new tools. They peruse books handed to them by whatever brokerage they're in and don't dive all in with learning. Cindy and I, from the very beginning, have been obsessed with progression and discovering new technologies. I didn't just wake up like this, friends. It's taken gallons of espresso and countless hours of searching and learning to get me to where I am. I have hundreds of failures under my belt, and I've learned to toss aside the notion of caring if I look like a dick or not. I

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. I've seen many agents chasing shiny new objects. There's an epidemic of Shiny New Object Syndrome. Sure, there are definitely techniques we can use to enhance technology and further our relationships with our clients. But if we try to compete in the binary world, we'll never win. We're going to fail if we try to be better than tech. Think about the doctors, lawyers, and other professionals you work with. We all work with people that we trust and people that have empathy for us. Personal interactions will always get the most value. But you can use technology to create more opportunities for personal interactions. How? The drum I won't quit banging on. Social media. Social media demonstrates who you are. Optimism, belief structures, compassion, parenting. Who cares if you there

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. There's quite a bit of confusion and fear swirling about right now. And fear can really be paralyzing. Especially when we are dealing with massive things like property and people's homes.

People think PLG Estates is full of street wisdom. That did not come naturally. We research, consistently. Ultimately, it's about treating your clients like family. When you do that, you'll strive to offer them the best advice possible.

Greetings and welcome to The Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. I'm the single largest critic when it comes to myself and my business. My very first thoughts of the day are not always positive. I know I put positivity and excitement into the universe and come across as being pretty secure. To be quite honest, I'm probably one of the most insecure people you'll meet. But I flip the script of negativity in my brain and I charge forward. Do you love challenging the system? Do you think differently? Are there naysayers in your life? I get it. It's hard. But, in my opinion - you can't be too creative. I see fear driving real estate. Just because you're the only one around you that feels this way does not mean you're wrong. There's mad respect out there for those that are willing to have a crack at it. If you want to be different, be different.

Life is full of hardship. I recently went through an extremely difficult and emotional hardship. I learned something that has been incredibly instrumental for me in life and in business, and in efforts to be of service to you, I want to share. Acceptance: life on life's terms, and how to turn it into your advantage. When my lovely mother passed away, I found myself at a crossroads. I've been here before. I could be a victim, or I could be of service. I decided to remove what I wanted from the situation and put into the situation what I thought she would've wanted. I came away with it with absolutely no regrets. My focus was not on me - it was on my mother and what she would have wanted. Surrender. It sounds weak, but it's actually the opposite. When you accept what is happening, you can quit manipulating and you are able to have a clarity of purpose. You can let go of expectations. When you are absolutely of service, it's easy to make the right decisions. The game has changed. Real estate is now 49% tra

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. This week's podcast is about surrounding ourselves with knowledge. If we want to grow, we have to rub shoulders with those that are more successful than we are. I have to learn. I may have dropped out of high school., but today I drink from the firehose of life. It's my duty to learn. And the best way to do that is by finding a mentor. When I was getting sober, I stopped spending time with people that were distracting me from sobriety. The same is true in business. Spend time with people who will push you towards your goal. People you can learn from and be inspired by. BUT HOW, PETE? Tip #1 - Ask one person out for coffee each week. The fear with this is that they're too busy or don't want to go. 95% of them will say yes. Tip #2 - Once a month (or more), take someone that yo

Greetings and welcome to the Creative Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates.   Today's podcast is about goals - sure. But more than that, it's about preparing your mind, body, and soul for future business. Oh, and the evil spiritual navigator that can easily take us off course. You've probably guessed it - the evil navigator is fear. Once fear gets his hands on the wheel, you can bet your ass it's going to end badly. Whereas if we proactively set goals - business and personal - and keep negativity at bay, the world really is our oyster. So let me break down my thoughts for you in another rousing episode of The Creative Entrepreneur podcast.   Golden Nuggets From This Episode:   [02:09]“My future actions will not be determined by fear, only by faith fueled by experience”   [06:08] “Goal setting for me isn't just a yearly thing, it's a weekly, sometime

Greetings and welcome to the Creative Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative Boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. Today’s podcast I lovingly call my “Jump Out Of A Plane And Find A Parachute On The Way Down” Episode. The old adage of fear vs faith is something of which I have long subscribed. I am notorious for only being able to get 65% of the way there with logic, the other 35% being a massive leap of faith. We are here to create and take risks in business. In this episode, I will go over a few of my theories on how to do just that (along with a few of my favorite anecdotes). So without further ado, it’s time to take a leap into another episode of The Creative Entrepreneur podcast.   Golden Nuggets from This Episode:   [02:00] “the purpose of life is to create a message which when matched with purpose creates impact” [02:47] “if our purpose is clear, if our message is defined then our i

A lot of people are talking about what's going to happen next in the economy and in this industry. I believe that we are nearing the end of this insane growth and closing in on some contractions across all industries. So, roll up your sleeves and dig in. This is the golden period. One of the biggest enemies in business is negativity. It's like a predator. The moment you shut your eyes, it attacks. It'll always be around, so keep moving. Here are some practical ways to squeeze every last bit out of the rest of the year:

Yes, it’s that time people! We are at the last 120 days of the year. It barely feels like we are out of the summer and already the holidays are looming upon us. In my podcast today I will go over my strategies and techniques to help you squeeze every last bit of juice out of the last four months of the year. This is a time when we can really take advantage of our industry as many tend to kick back and enjoy all the parties and revelry that the end of the year brings. I have always made a point of putting my foot to the gas and cranking up the heat to scooping and catch a business that others lead on the table so let’s chop it up in another episode of the creative entrepreneur podcast.   Golden Nuggets from this episode: [02:24] “What is happening today in your pipeline represents
