What separates a good salesperson from a truly exceptional one? It's not just closing rates or revenue figures—it's the mindset behind the success.
Chris Christofi, founder and CEO of Reventon, embodies this distinction perfectly. Starting from $348,000 in debt after losing everything, Chris built a company that has now sold 3,500 properties worth $3.45 billion and helped over 10,000 clients. His journey from selling scratch tickets as a 10-year-old in Cyprus to becoming one of Australia's most respected property investment strategists reveals powerful lessons about persistence, humility, and continuous improvement.
In this riveting conversation, Chris shares how he maintained a remarkable 93-94% closing rate while still considering himself ”only a 2 out of 10” in ability—because he recognized how much more there was to learn. This hunger for growth led him to identify and shadow the top performers in every company where he worked, absorbing their techniques while developing his own authentic approach to sales.
The most fascinating aspect of Chris's story isn't just the financial success, but his philosophy on business and life. He awakens at 5 AM (previously 2:45 AM) for visualization and reading—completing an astonishing 87 books in just seven months using his unique method of simultaneously listening to audiobooks while reading physical copies. His perspective on work-life ”choices” rather than ”balance,” his approach to team building, and his commitment to philanthropy (raising over $1.2 million for St. Vincent de Paul's) provide a masterclass in holistic success.
Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting your journey, Chris's insights on recovering from setbacks, scaling through team development, and maintaining humility despite massive success will transform how you approach your own path. As he powerfully states: ”The smallest action is more powerful than the greatest thought.”
How might your success change if you adopted Chris's mindset of continuous learning and improvement, regardless of your current achievements? Listen now to find out.

The toughest battles we face aren't always visible. Those mornings when the weight of responsibility feels crushing, when your mind races with everything that needs addressing, and the safety of your bed seems like the only refuge, this episode dives deep into that universal yet rarely discussed experience.
We open up about the profound mental challenges entrepreneurs face, particularly when overwhelmed by mounting responsibilities. Drawing on personal experiences, we explore how the psychological burden of leadership can sometimes feel paralyzing; yet, acknowledging these struggles becomes the first step toward overcoming them.
The conversation reveals a powerful insight: ”Problems delayed is problems intensified.” We discuss how avoidance behaviors, while tempting in the moment, ultimately create greater challenges. Yet when we finally confront what we've been avoiding, it's rarely as overwhelming as our minds imagined. Through real-world examples, including how leveraging tools like AI transformed a five-day project into just half a day of focused work, we demonstrate practical approaches to breaking through mental barriers.
Beyond productivity tactics, we delve into the deeper philosophical questions surrounding the balance between work and life. The discussion touches on the concept of ”Memento Mori” (remember you will die) and how maintaining perspective on mortality helps prioritize what truly matters. We examine how success itself can trigger impostor syndrome, as exemplified through the surprising discomfort that came with purchasing a luxury car and feeling somehow undeserving of that visible success marker.
Whether you're a business owner struggling with isolation, a professional dealing with overwhelming workloads, or anyone who's ever felt mental resistance to tackling difficult tasks, this raw, honest conversation offers both comfort in knowing you're not alone and practical wisdom to move forward when everything in you wants to stay still.
In an age where small businesses face mounting operational pressures, what truly separates those who merely survive from those who thrive? This raw, unfiltered conversation cuts through excuses and delivers hard truths about entrepreneurship in Australia's evolving economic landscape.
We tackle the recent 3.5% minimum wage increase and superannuation bump to 12%, but quickly pivot to the real issue plaguing most struggling businesses: a fundamental lack of business acumen. With refreshing candor, they challenge the victim mentality that permeates small business culture – the tendency to blame external factors rather than addressing internal deficiencies.
”Someone somewhere is paying premium for the service that you offer,” becomes a rallying cry for business owners stuck in the cycle of undercharging and overworking. The discussion explores why most practitioners struggle with the transition to business ownership, highlighting the vast difference between being skilled at your craft versus running a profitable enterprise.
The conversation takes fascinating turns through Australia's economic safety nets, tax perspectives that separate the wealthy from the struggling, and why maintaining productive discomfort drives business growth. Beyond theoretical concepts, the hosts share personal experiences of pushing through challenges and the mindset shifts that enabled their success.
Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or contemplating your first business venture, this episode delivers actionable insights on pricing strategy, customer selection, and maintaining momentum through adversity. Stop blaming external factors and start mastering the fundamentals that drive business success. Your perspective – not government policies – ultimately determines your outcomes.
