Winners Focus on Winning!

The other day, I was speaking with an agent who was frustrated—actually, more than frustrated. He was pissed off because other agents kept copying his designs, his branding, even his listing presentations. He felt like every time he put something creative out there, someone else was quick to duplicate it.
I completely understood where he was coming from. A while ago, I used to feel the same way when I saw others copying my Instagram posts. I’d spend time crafting valuable content, only to see someone else take the same idea and run with it. It was frustrating, to say the least.
But then, at a recent event, I came across this quote:
“Winners focus on winning, losers focus on winners.”
And it hit me.
The agents at the top aren’t wasting time worrying about who’s copying them.
They’re too busy growing, improving, and leading. The truth is, if people are copying you, you’re doing something right. They’re watching you because you’re setting the standard.
But here’s the thing: No one can copy YOU.
They can take your designs, your posts, even your listing strategies—but they can’t replicate your knowledge, your relationships, your mindset, or your work ethic.
Instead of getting frustrated, double down on your own success:
  • Keep improving.
  • Keep innovating.
  • Keep delivering value.
Because while others are busy copying, you’ll be miles ahead—doing the real work that creates lasting success.
So next time you catch someone taking inspiration from your work, take it as a compliment. Then, get back to focusing on what really matters—your own growth and results.
Have a productive week ahead!
