What Do You Do the Moment You Get Paid?

You think the problem happens when the money runs out. It actually starts the moment the commission cheque arrives.

There’s one question that creates more financial awareness than most REALTORS® expect.

A deal closes and the money comes in. What happens next usually happens quickly. A few bills get paid, money gets moved around or maybe the money just sits in an account until something needs it.

You’re doing nothing intentional; just whatever feels right in the moment, and that’s where the problem starts. Your money is not given its job when it arrives in your account.

Many REALTORS® focus heavily on expenses and write-offs and they matter but they do not solve this part. This is not about what you spent, it is about what happened the moment the money arrived. If that moment passes without direction, the money slowly starts getting absorbed and many REALTORS® are left wondering where it all went.

Your Money Moment is when the commission hits your bankaccount and small changes here tend to change everything that follows.
