If you’re coasting in Q2 thinking the same strategies will get you through 2025, Veronica Figueroa has a message for you: this is your year to LEVEL UP.
No more playing small, wasting time, or avoiding the uncomfortable work. It’s time to build a business—and a life—that actually scales.
The powerhouse eXp team leader and coach is dropping gold on Instagram, and we’re bringing it straight to you, BAM style. Here are the four things Figueroa says every agent and team leader should be doing right now to grow their impact, their business, and their legacy.
1. Take Inventory of Your Time
Every agent says they’re busy—but busy doing what? Figueroa challenges agents to stop and take an honest look at how they’re spending their hours.
“Take inventory of your time. Where do you invest most of your time and what is the return of that investment!?”
Let’s be real: time is your most valuable asset. If you’re constantly “busy” but not seeing growth, it’s time to track your time like you track your commissions.
Ask yourself:
- What tasks are eating up your hours?
- Are those tasks directly tied to income, growth, or client satisfaction?
- Could someone else be doing them better or faster?
It’s not just about checking boxes. If you’re spending hours in your inbox, tweaking marketing graphics, or chasing low-quality leads, it’s time to shift gears. Audit your calendar and your daily routines. Then start prioritizing activities that move the needle.
2. Run Toward Discomfort
If you’ve been playing it safe, it’s time to shake things up. Figueroa’s second challenge is about confronting the very things that make you hesitate.
“What are you avoiding because it may overwhelm you or bring you discomfort? Tackle it head on and make the decision to grow from it.”
The things you avoid are often the exact things you need to do to grow.
- Scared to shoot video? Start today.
- Avoiding tough conversations with a team member? Have it.
- Pushing off lead generation? Schedule it daily—non-negotiable.
Growth lives on the other side of discomfort. The sooner you face what’s hard, the faster you’ll scale.
3. Find What Fuels You—And Others
This isn’t just about production goals. Figueroa reminds agents that success depends on finding the intersection of what drives you and what helps others.
“THAT is your sweet spot! Remember as agents, team builders and leaders we are in the people business. We get to serve people and impact families.”
Ask yourself:
- What energizes you?
- What makes you feel like you’re actually helping people?
- What problems are you uniquely positioned to solve?
When your passion aligns with your purpose, people notice. Clients, collaborators, and team members are drawn to that energy. That’s when business starts to feel like momentum—not burnout.
4. Team Leaders: Pour Into Your People
For team leaders, there’s one more non-negotiable: invest in your people. Figueroa says your greatest growth strategy isn’t just doing more; it’s building better.
“Hire people that are better than you, smarter than you, that possess skillsets you don’t have. THIS IS GAME CHANGING.”
If you’re leading a team, your greatest asset isn’t your listings—it’s your people. And your biggest opportunity for growth? Empowering them.
- Delegate with trust.
- Develop leaders, not just followers.
- Hire for your blind spots, not your comfort zone.
When your people rise, your business rises. And when you stop being the bottleneck, you start building real momentum.
