In Each Moment Look For Something To Feel Good About
After 13 years in Real Estate my business still comes in waves. There are all sorts of classes that you can take to ‘conquer’ the wave and have consistency in your business. While I have grown my business steadily over the years, the waves are still there. Over time I have come to embrace them. It is great to be super busy, but I also love the times when I am slower and can fit in a long lunch with a girlfriend or a massage appointment in the middle of the day so really it’s all good. I must admit, though, that even though I have come to find the good in the waves, I still always have that bit of panic as a business wave tapers off and I wonder where my next clients will come from.
I am just finishing up a super busy business wave, tying up loose ends and finishing up a closing or two. Now that I am not as busy with the day to day of those transactions I feel like I am ready to take on more clients again. However, they do not seem to have gotten the memo yet! Hmm… Yesterday was Monday and I was working on a few things at my computer and then really got to the end of what I needed to do for that day and it was only 10:30. I found myself thinking ‘I have checked my email 3 times in the last 10 minutes where in the heck are those clients?’ As I started to feel my energy shift and get more anxious I knew that it was time to get out of the office. I previewed some houses that I had been meaning to check out, moved up my physical therapy appointment to Monday instead of later in the week, went to Costco and got caught up with some friends. Not a hugely productive work day, but I did get some things done and kept myself focused on things other than weather or not my phone was ringing with new business.
Last night I was reading my new Abraham Hicks Book about the Law of Attraction (These guys are the ultimate guru’s when it comes to this stuff. Check out their web site at www.abraham-hicks.com for more information). In there Ester said that from the moment she wakes up she looks for something in that moment to feel good about and just continues that all day long. So I decided to try it today. Usually I am so focused on my goals and what I want to accomplish that I feel that I am bound to think about those things weather they are making me feel good, stressed, sad, or what not. So today I have been focusing only on finding something that makes me feel good in each moment. I must admit, I haven’t had any new clients show up just yet, but I did have a listing agent call regarding an offer that my buyer had submitted on their property last week and did not come together and it sounds like the seller might be seeing things our way after all. And the true reason that I know I am on to something … someone brought in coconut cream pie to the office today ~ my absolute favorite!

Beliefs = Actions = Results – It Matters Where You Start
August is an interesting month for me. I’m savoring the relaxed pace of summer, while also starting to think about Fall and shifting back into work mode. With a shift in focus I naturally start wondering what will happen. Will I be busy? Where will my clients come from? Will they be buyers or sellers?…
What Do You LOVE About Your Business?
I’m back!!! There’s been a lot going on lately, (more on that in a later post) and it’s been a few weeks since I’ve sent you a note. Needless to say, I’ve missed you! I’ve been moving through a lot of ‘life’ lately, and there’s been a common thread in my business that has surprised…
How Do You Want Summer To Feel?
Summer is often a season of expectations not meeting reality. I used to think my perfect summer meant iced tea on the patio while reading every day. For the record, that’s never happened. And for a while, I felt bad about it — like I was missing out, like I was doing summer wrong. Until…

Letting Go Of The Hustle Sounds Great, But You’ve Got a Business To Run
To be clear, I am 100% for less hustle, more flow, manifesting, receiving, regulating my nervous system, and letting things be easier. But somewhere between: “That sounds amazing” and “I’m a real estate agent – I need to generate clients and sell houses to earn an income” Things can get confusing. Because no matter how…
The Beauty of Not Doing It Alone
Thank you for being part of this community! I learned something beautiful and powerful last week. It was vulnerable to post about recalibrating, and being in the messy middle of grieving. Yet the conversations, emails, texts and notes have meant to much. To know that we are not alone is one of the greatest gifts…
Recalibrate In a Business That Runs 24/7
It happens to me every year about this time. The need to recalibrate. In a business that can run 24/7 – it’s easy to look up one day and realize, your batteries are drained and there’s no break in sight. Side note – It doesn’t have to be a 24/7 thing, but that’s a topic…
It’s Okay For Things To Be Different
I often find myself comparing things. I compare my business this year to years past.I compare my health and fitness to where I was 10 years ago.I compare how I show up and experience different life events. On the one hand – it makes perfect sense. Our brains crave predictability. It calms our nervous system.…
I Used To Be So Afraid Of This…
I used to dread client conversations. Especially pricing conversations with sellers in a softer market, like we are in right now. I was afraid of letting them down. It came up this week with a new listing. They bought at the height of the market in 2022. Today’s prices are lower than that. How do…
What If Your Income Didn’t Depend On The Market?
There are multiple markets occurring right now – in the same cities, on the same streets. Sellers are experiencing it one way. Buyers are experiencing it another. And agents? All over the board. Same market. Completely different results. So what’s the difference? What you believe. What you look for. And how you show up. Two…
