Entrepreneur And Success Maker Jerry Hammond Shares The Mindset That Builds Empires in Any Market

What if the mindset you carry every day is the single greatest predictor of whether you build an empire or struggle in the shadows?

The host of The Deep Wealth Podcast and post-exit entrepreneur Jeffrey Feldberg speaks with Entrepreneur And Success Maker Jerry Hammond on how he built his business empire despite massive challenges.

The Mindset Behind Building Empires

Every entrepreneur secretly knows the truth. Strategy matters. Execution matters. But mindset determines everything. In this episode Jerry Hammond opens the door to the inner world that shaped his rise. It is a world defined by discipline humility hunger and the willingness to grow no matter the circumstance. Jerry speaks openly about how he learned to think not just like a business owner but like a leader with long term impact. As he puts it “If your mindset is weak your results will be weak. If your mindset is strong your business becomes unstoppable.”

Jerry’s story is not one of shortcuts. It is one of shaping himself deliberately day after day. He explains how the habits he built in his early years carried forward into every boardroom negotiation hiring decision and leadership moment. The greatest insights come not from theory but from the way Jerry lives the principles he teaches. His lessons are simple powerful and immediately usable for any entrepreneur who wants to think and operate at a higher level.

Humility as a Power Advantage

One of the most surprising parts of Jerry’s mindset is humility. He calls it the most underrated competitive advantage in business. In his words “When you stay humble you see opportunities other people miss.” Instead of pretending to have every answer Jerry learned early that listening creates leverage. Humility became his mechanism for building trust and loyalty across the organization.

He shares real examples of how being humble opened doors that ego would have slammed shut. When faced with difficult decisions he chose curiosity over certainty. He chose learning over defending. These subtle shifts compound over time creating a leader people want to follow. Entrepreneurs often assume authority requires force or bravado. Jerry dismantles this myth by showing that humility is the foundation of true influence.

Success can inflate egos fast. Jerry refuses to let it happen. He credits his late father-in-law, a construction legend, for showing him how to talk to anyone—from janitor to CEO—with genuine respect.

“Staying humble is a key takeaway,” Jerry declares. Pair it with hunger, and you become unstoppable. Teams follow you willingly. Clients trust you deeply. Profits explode. Jerry’s proof: decades of dominance in cutthroat luxury real estate.

Hunger That Drives Relentless Progress

At the same time Jerry carries a deep hunger to grow build and improve. He describes this hunger as “a quiet fire that never goes out.” This fire is what pushed him to keep going when markets tightened when deals fell apart and when leadership demanded more of him than ever before. Hunger is not desperation. It is an inner engine that creates direction and momentum.

Entrepreneurs listening to this episode will find themselves reflecting on their own hunger. Is it burning bright or fading? Jerry’s insights reignite that internal drive by reminding you what is possible when you commit to thinking and acting like someone who expects to win. He shows how hunger and humility together form a potent combination. It is this combination that builds empires in any market.

The Turning Points That Shaped a Leader

Every great leader goes through defining moments. Jerry shares pivotal experiences that forced him to rethink how he approached business team building and personal growth. He speaks about the uncomfortable transitions that reshaped his perspective. He tells the story of learning to embrace setbacks instead of resisting them. As he says “Every setback carried the seed of a better version of me.”

These turning points are not dramatic for the sake of drama. They are real and relatable. Any entrepreneur who has experienced disappointment uncertainty or challenge will see themselves in Jerry’s story. The episode reveals how leaders rise when they take ownership of their thinking. Through vulnerability and truth Jerry demonstrates that mindset is not something you are born with. It is something you create.

The Golden Rule That Built a Global Brand

Jerry didn’t just adopt the Golden Rule—he built his entire culture on it. Inspired by Four Seasons founder Izzy Sharp, he made respect, acceptance, and understanding non-negotiable.

In a diverse team speaking multiple languages, it’s rocket fuel. “It’s a statement on acceptance, on understanding each other,” Jerry explains. Result? Loyal agents, raving clients, and a brand that travels the world effortlessly. Steal this tomorrow—watch resentment vanish and growth surge.

Leadership That Inspires Trust

So much of Jerry’s empire building mindset is rooted in how he leads people. He explains that trust is the currency of high performance. Without trust teams crumble. With trust they become unstoppable. He shares the principles he uses to create loyalty and alignment even in high pressure environments.

In one of the standout moments he says “People do not follow your title. They follow your example.” This is the mindset that separates average leaders from elite ones. Throughout the conversation Jerry offers practical examples of how he makes decisions how he communicates and how he builds a culture people are proud to be part of. These insights provide a blueprint for entrepreneurs who want to lead with strength and integrity.

Thriving in Any Market

The most valuable part of Jerry’s mindset is its resilience. Whether the market is rising or falling he remains steady clear and forward focused. He explains how entrepreneurs can thrive even when conditions are uncertain. His perspective is refreshing. Instead of reacting to the market he prepares for it. Instead of fearing downturns he uses them to create strategic advantage.

Jerry pulls back the curtain on the mental models that help him stay grounded. He shares how to look at problems without panic how to seize opportunities when others withdraw and how to build stability from the inside out. His philosophy is simple but profound. Strength does not come from the market. It comes from mindset.

Luxury Lessons Every Entrepreneur Needs

Jerry’s luxury aha moment? Partner with rising global brands like Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton. He studied hospitality giants, imported their service obsession, and out-delivered everyone.

“If you’re going to succeed in the market, the first one that’s going to create that success is the consumer,” he insists. Borrow best practices, make them better, charge premium prices. It works in widgets, SaaS, or real estate. Do it now.

Building a Future Worth Leading

Jerry closes the conversation with advice for entrepreneurs who want more than just revenue. He speaks to those who want meaning influence legacy and the ability to impact others. He encourages listeners to examine their mindset honestly. “If you want to build something great you must build yourself first.” This insight carries through the entire episode and becomes the invitation for entrepreneurs to commit to their own growth.

Jerry turned local real estate into international deals. How? Massive vision plus unbreakable values.
