Are You Stuck on the Commission Treadmill? (And What to Do Before It’s Too Late…)

by | Feb 20, 2025 | Real Estate Coaching

Let’s talk about a hard truth that most agents don’t want to face—one that’s keeping far too many of them stressed, overworked, and financially stuck.

Most real estate agents are commission junkies.

They wake up every morning in need of that next deal. That next closing. That next commission check just to keep their business—and their life—from collapsing.

And just like any addiction, it never stops.

Because the second that commission check clears, they’re right back at zero—chasing the next one.

And it works… until it doesn’t.

Because one day, the pipeline slows down. A deal falls apart. The market shifts. And suddenly, you’re scrambling to stay afloat.

Sound familiar?

This is the Commission Treadmill. And if you don’t step off, it will keep you running—until you physically can’t anymore.

Why the Commission Model is a Trap

Most agents work their entire careers without ever building real financial security.

Not because they aren’t talented. Not because they don’t work hard. But because they think in transactions, not assets.

They tell themselves, “If I just sell more homes, I’ll be fine.”

But if that were true, wouldn’t every hardworking agent out there be wealthy?

Instead, we see the opposite.

Because commissions don’t create wealth—assets do.

If you don’t own something that pays you beyond your next deal, then you’re stuck in a business that only makes money when you do.

And what happens when you can’t keep up the pace anymore?

For too many agents, the answer is simple: they just keep working.

Even in their 60s. Even in their 70s.

Not because they want to—but because they have to.

The agents who retire wealthy don’t do it by selling more houses.

They do it by structuring their business to make money—even when they’re not working.

Here’s what they do differently:

  • They build multiple income streams –(not rental properties) so they’re never waking up at zero.
  • They create marketing systems that bring in leads automatically – so they aren’t constantly chasing their next deal.
  • They stop working harder and start working smarter – focusing on profit, not just production.
  • They build a business that pays them long after they’ve stepped away.

Most agents never make this shift.

Not because they can’t—but because they’re too busy grinding for their next commission check to step back and create a real plan.

But here’s the thing…

If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’ve got.

And if you don’t take control of your financial future now, what happens when you no longer have the energy to keep up?

If you’re tired of waking up every morning needing your next deal…

If you’re tired of selling, spending, and starting over every single month…

If you actually want to build wealth instead of just working until you physically can’t anymore

Then I’ve got something for you.

I’ve put together a step-by-step plan to show you exactly how to break free from the Commission Treadmill and start building real, lasting financial security.

This is the same system that separates the agents who retire comfortably… from the ones who never escape the grind.

Because here’s the truth: if you don’t take control of your financial future, no one else will.
