Know When To Call In the Experts
The new blog is finally up and running. Horray! What I thought would take a week took a month. It was supposed to be a simple transfer. I uploaded all of my posts from the other platform, hit activate and off we go, right? Of course not. 😕
In the process of transfering the posts I started looking around at other peoples blogs and reading sites on how to be the blogging, ninja master of the universe. It turns out with this new platform I can do all sorts of super cool and awesome things that I couldn’t do one the other one. I can upload cool videos so that I can do video blogging in addition to typing things out. I can set it up so that when you subscribe a video of me pops up welcoming you to the blog. I can add features for just about anything you can imagine.
All of the options turned out to be just too much for me and sent me into analysis paralysis so that I couldn’t do anything and then I started thinking that I couldn’t relaunch the blog until I had all of these thing figured out so that it would be that much more fun, but then it started to not be fun. At the end of the day, I am an idea girl and an action girl. I have the big dreams and I want to start moving forward. Anything that requires me to get into the minute of things and I am out. So I stalled. I had one reason after another why I wasn’t switching the blog over.
Partly because I thought that I needed to do it all myself. I thought ~ it would be good for me to learn this so that I know what is really going on and we are trying to save money so if I do it myself then I don’t have to pay the money to have someone else do it. Well, it turns out that was a stupid idea that involved many hours on hold with web companies who speak a language I don’t and a lot of F bombs on my part trying to figure it out.
So finally I called ‘Uncle’ and hired someone to help me switch over the blog and get it set up so that I could start writing again. It took her less than an hour to get it switched and cost me less than a dinner out with the family!!!! What in the hell was I thinking trying to do it on my own? The reality is that I don’t give a sh*t how it works, I just want it to work and I want to know that there is someone to call that can make it work.
I also gave myself permission to not have to have it all figured out right now. The videos can come later as well as all of the other things.
So take a moment to think about it. Where are you stuck in your life? Where are you really dragging your feet because you don’t know how to move forward or you are stuck in analysis paralysis? Maybe it’s time to find someone to handle it for you. You might be surprised at how little it costs and how quickly it can make a difference. After all, isn’t this what we do for our clients? We help handle things like the sale of their property so that they can move on with their life. We are the Real Estate experts. Maybe it’s time we called in some experts of our own.

It’s Not Just Your Story – It’s Everyone Else’s Too
I’ve spent years working on my own limiting beliefs — but I discovered one at the Abraham Hicks workshop last weekend that I had completely missed.

Bet On Yourself VS The Market
Last week I shared how the end of August is a weird time – wanting to savor summer, while also shifting back into work mode. Turns out I’m not the only one this happens to! Thank you for all of the notes and feedback. I’ve found that when I’m not taking action, I spend WAY…
I Used To Dread The Last 2 Weeks Of August
Thirty years in real estate has taught me a lot of things. One of the best is this: I can finally see my own patterns. Like the one where I get twitchy every year mid-August. Part of me wants summer to stretch on forever. Part of me is itching for routine, order, and the satisfaction…
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?…

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…
