🏆 Everyone Wants the Trophy... Few Want the Work...
If you had the choice — the prize or the process — what would you pick?

🏆 Everyone wants the trophy.
But almost no one wants to do the work it takes to earn it.
If you had the choice — the prize or the process — what would you pick?
If we're being real, 99% of people would choose the prize.
And that's exactly why only 1% actually get there.
The agents, leaders, and entrepreneurs who win at the highest level?
They fall in love with the work.
Because the truth is…
The work builds the resiliency you need when things get hard.
The work shapes the character that no market shift can shake.
The work forges the skill that no one can ever take from you.
🔥 The trophy is hidden inside the work you're avoiding.
Here’s the hard truth:
You have to become before you can achieve.
Everyone wants the shortcut.
Everyone wants the easy path.
Everyone wants the results without the refinement.
But you can't skip becoming the person who deserves it.
🚀 Stop chasing awards, recognition, and approval.
Start chasing the best, most disciplined, most relentless version of yourself.
Chase it like your life depends on it.
Because in a way… it does.
And here’s the kicker:
You’ll never actually "catch" that version of you.
Because as you grow, your potential grows.
As you do more, you become more.
As you stretch yourself, you realize you’re capable of far more than you ever thought possible.
And that journey?
It’s better than any trophy you’ll ever hold.
Let’s chase greatness — starting today.
No shortcuts. No excuses.
👊 Give today your all.
🚀
P.S. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Take one uncomfortable action today."
Agent Spotlight

Ryan Risher
Buyer’s Specialist, Skender-Newton Realty
I always dreamed of working in real estate. After 12 years in a corporate job, I finally found the courage to reach out to the local legend—Heather Skender-Newton. I shared my dream of working in real estate with her and explained that, with a family, two children, and one on the way, failure simply isn’t an option for me.
There is no greater mentor than Heather, and no better environment to grow than with the team at Skender-Newton Realty. Heather holds her team to the highest standards and pushes us beyond what we ever imagined we could achieve. I've received the best real estate training available and have access to industry-leading tools that help me continuously rise to the top.
Heather’s team is the perfect place for those who want to be their very best—and have no desire to settle for mediocrity.
