Instead of competing with other agents, we need to be around people who lift us up.  You need allies, a clear niche, and a no-BS understanding of what drives your business forward.  In this very special 200th episode of Social Selling Made Simple, I\u2019m getting real about what helped me level up.  I\u2019m sharing the legacy of entrepreneurship I inherited from my grandfather, how I went from overworked instructor to highly paid keynote speaker, and why choosing collaboration over competition changed everything.    The more I let go, the more I get, and what I\u2019m getting is better than anything I ever let go. -Marki Lemons Ryhal   Things You\u2019ll Learn In This Episode  The "crabs in a barrel" trap Clinging to our ideas and treating peers as threats sabotages our growth.
