Why George Lucas Paid $250,000 to Cut the Credits from Star Wars (And What It Teaches Every Real Estate Agent)
Description
In 1977, George Lucas released the original Star Wars without any of the standard opening production credits. No studio card, no director credit, no scroll of names. Just the words "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." and straight into the story.
Did you realize the Directors Guild actually fined him $250,000 for it? Lucas paid the fine. He cared more about the audience's experience than about who got named in front of it.
We explore what it actually looks like to put the customer first in a real estate business, and why most agents say they do it but really don't. This conversations unpacks alot!
We also dive into whether putting the customer first is expensive or sustainable.
It comes down to asking one honest question of every process, every touch, and every hiring decision in your business: is this about me, or is this about them?
The money stops being the goal and becomes the byproduct, and the referrals stop being something you chase and become something you receive.
