Ditch Smart Goals—Set Stupid Ones with Verl Workman
Tired of chasing “realistic” growth that never moves the needle? Verl Workman says it’s time to get stupid.

- Why SMART goals are for losers (and what to set instead)
- The exact commission splits and performance expectations that drive profitability
- How to run a real estate team like a business, not a babysitting club
