Real estate success story turned global inspirational speaker Kirsty Spraggon is my guest today. Get this … before Kirsty turned 30, she earned a lazy $1,000,000 in real estate commissions in the sleepy hollow of Perth, Western Australia. In fact, she was ranked in the top 100 of RE/Max agents globally. 121,000 of them. No mean feat! Now, at the wise old age of 32, she hosts a popular YouTube channel called KirstyTV, is a world renowned motivational speaker, recently revealed her deepest, darkest secret on a TEDx stage in Malibu, and is on her way to becoming the next Oprah Winfrey.
During my fireside chat with Kirsty, you’ll discover:
- How she exceeded in real estate at such a young age
- The importance of being selective
- Why referring is so important to your business growth
- How to avoid a break down
- The beauty of vulnerability in business
- And loads more
Plus I answer a listener question from Tammy Devenish of men’s underwear online retailer Reer Endz about how to make best use of press releases, and I share some insights in to what’s been a great week for me personally.
Yep, it’s another big show. Let’s get stuck right into episode 227 of Australia’s #1 marketing show. Go!

My Top 5 Marketing Tips from my chat with Kirsty Spraggon:

- Go where the energy is – be selective about who you choose to work with.
- Be a great referrer.
- Set boundaries in your business or you’ll end up under the doona.
- Be a little vulnerable in business.

Timbo,
One of the best interviews I’ve hear, really more like a fireside chat, so relaxed and the information and takeaways were awesome.
Love your work,
Fred
Thanks Fred. Very kind words, mate. Every now and then I get a guest who fits right in ;0)
Fantastic interview with the awesome Kirsty. Got so much value from it. But I think I need to stop listening to your podcast in the car! Desperately need to capture the thoughts and ideas I have when listening to it as they don’t always come back to me when I try listening a second time.
Thanks guys.
Hi Kirsty, nice work on the sales!
Out of interest how many houses did you have to sell to reach a commission of $1m? what was the average sale price?
Sorry I’m so inquisitive..I just love numbers…I’m one of those people with a ‘I love Spreadsheets’ coffee mug on my work desk.
cheers

Great interview and such amazing courage from Kirsty. I don’t think there are many that could face their fears in such a public way. She deserves all the success she achieves.
Hey Timbo!
Just another big THANK YOU for answering my question on this Pod Cast! and for always delivering such great content and ideas! #coveryourz
Hi Timbo,
Long time listener (I even know who Lukey is), first time commenter (is that a word?).
Great interview and she sounds like a great person.
Have just signed up for my first 99 designs project for a new logo and used your upgrade pack so hopefully they keep up the sponsorship.
