There is something that’s holding you back – maybe even breaking you. In this year, in this market, you can not afford to keep carrying it with you. If you’ve been feeling stuck or like you’re banging your head against a wall, watch this Mindset Monday, and let’s figure out what it takes to move forward.

Welcome back to Tom Ferry’s Outliers Series—where we study the psychology, behaviors, and decision-making of real estate pros who perform at an extraordinary level.

In this conversation, Tom sits down with Sarah Combes, a 23-year industry veteran who made one decision that shattered her own GCI ceiling – $300K to $1.2M GCI in a single year.

You’ll hear Sarah’s story and exactly what she did to achieve this breakthrough:

• How joining coaching changed her business approach
• The behavioral alignment techniques that speed progress
• The delegation strategy that changed everything
• How you can get started delegating and break past exhaustion

If you’ve ever felt like you’re capable of more—but can’t seem to break through—Sarah’s story looks a lot like the version of you that’s waiting on the other side of the right structure, accountability, and guidance.

You’ll even learn Chase’s YouTube strategy, including why “boring but searched” beats flashy content, how to structure CTAs that convert, and the biggest mistake agents make on camera.

• The behavioral changes that create breakthroughs
• How to align your goals with your actions
• The secrets to emotional regulation (the biggest success indicator for agents)
• Chase’s YouTube pipeline framework

After interviewing top performers who just had unbelievable years, they all said the same thing:

“If they can do it, I can do it.”

They didn’t reinvent the wheel.

They found models of excellence, studied what worked, extracted the insights, and put them into action.

So as you think about the new year and what’s possible for you in 2026, ask yourself:

Who are you modeling? Who are you learning from?

Life is too short to figure it all out alone. Find excellence, model it, do the work—and watch what happens.

What are you afraid of right now? Not surface-level fear-but the thing you keep pushing down. Most of the time, it's not fear at all. It's shame. It's guilt. It's feeling unworthy. Real confidence isn't hype. It's built by doing hard things consistently. Ask yourself: • What's the worst case? • What's the most likely case? • What's the best case? When you can accept the worst case... you're free. Do the hard thing. Confidence follows.
