Your Models Matter

“Creativity is great when it’s built on top of a model. Creativity used as a shortcut around one is how you end up exhausted.” Fresh off Advance, James Shaw brings the room to everyone who couldn’t be there, and agents share their biggest ahas: putting fear in the back seat, the power of the pause, reminding leads about an appointment instead of confirming it, and judging your success over a whole career instead of one rough year. Then he pulls from MREA pages 37 and 38 to make a point that’s easy to forget when the market gets wonky: more conversations are now needed to get the same result, and the temptation is to get creative and wander away from the fundamentals. If you’re feeling burnt out or like you’re reinventing the wheel every week, this one’s for you. Aired on October 14, 2026 The Pivot: SHIFT Ahead morning call is in an interview format, where agents across the globe share their expert input on various real estate topics. If you are stuck, we have the solution. This mastermind prepares any real estate agent to be several steps ahead of a market shift. James Shaw started this community during the pandemic. After 6 years, the Pivot: SHIFT Ahead is composed by 126.400 real estate agents. Through playbooks, masterminds and events, Shaw provides a growth and accountability space for those who need support.
