In this episode of Keller Williams Realty Maine's Beyond the Sale, Team Leader Kevin Fletcher is joined by Rick Dow, 2024 Market Center Cultural Ambassador, Associate Leadership Council Member (2017-Present), and founder of Team Dow Real Estate. Rick shares the simple and effective steps he took to go from living a life by default and into intentionally building a business that fuels his purpose: a life by design.

So what do you do in those moments when the pressure mounts, and it’s easy to feel the pull of the ‘9am-5pm’ routine you once escaped? In Rick’s case, it wasn’t a matter of returning to a simple routine, but a graveyard shift that had him in a cycle of exhaustion, sacrifice, and missed moments. And it was understanding these motivating factors that helped him, and will help you, bridge the gap between surviving your business and actually thriving in a life you've intentionally built.

What We’ll Tackle:

• Design vs. Default: Exploring the critical difference between letting your business dictate your schedule and intentionally building a career that supports your "Big Why."
• The Wealth Mindset: How to leverage real estate as a vehicle for long-term financial freedom and creating a lasting legacy for your family.
• Scaling with Purpose: Lessons on leadership, systems, and growth that ensure your personal life expands alongside your teams’.

A "life by design" is not a luxury reserved for a few; it is a choice available to every agent willing to follow a purposeful plan. Tune in to discover how Rick Dow has mastered the art of intentionality and how you can move Beyond the Sale to create a life worth living.

Do you run your business or is your business running you? Far too many real estate agents operate as the most overworked employee in their own business, when they should be stepping into their true role of CEO.

Join Keller Williams Realty Maine Team Leader Brad Knowles to discuss the shift from being a reactionary agent to a prepared CEO. We’ll explore how to stop "reporting for duty" to your inbox and start leading a scalable organization. If you continue to rely on natural hustle rather than purposeful systems, you will always be an employee to a business that owns you.

What We’ll Tackle:

• Shifting from a "to-do list" mentality to a "vision" mentality—learning to lead your business instead of letting it lead you.
• How a CEO views vendors and clients not just as transactions, but as essential partners in a long-term growth ecosystem.

When you stop acting like an employee and start leading like a CEO, you move from having a job to owning a legacy.

In this episode of Keller Williams Realty Maine's Beyond the Sale, Team Leader Kevin Fletcher, is joined by special guest Mark Richard, an elite KW MAPS Mastery Coach and high-performance strategist who discusses the life-changing power of professional accountability and the intentional routines required to turn your biggest business goals into reality.

Being an entrepreneur gives you the freedom to be your own boss, but it also means you are responsible for your own momentum. This conversation moves past the surface-level "hustle" to explore how high-achievers use accountability and structured routines to turn their big goals into daily reality.

What We'll Tackle:

• Fueling the Engine: Why identifying your core motivation is the only way to stay resilient when the market or a transaction gets tough.
• The Accountability Edge: MAPS Coach Mark Richard breaks down why even the industry’s most elite leaders rely on coaching to identify blind spots and break through growth ceilings.
• The Power of Routine: How to design a daily schedule that actually fuels the business you want, rather than letting the business run you.
• Precision Goal Setting: Ensuring that your daily habits are in total alignment with the long-term vision you’ve set for your life and career.

Success is rarely a solo sport. It is the result of the systems you build and the people you allow to challenge you. Tune in to learn how to master your calendar, find your "why," and leverage accountability to take your business Beyond the Sale.
