Exciting Announcements Coming Soon!
We had a fantastic time at the retreat on Monday and Tuesday. Here is a picture of all of us in the garden of the gorgeous Willows Lodge. The sun even came out on Monday and we were able to eat outside to enjoy it. There is something about spending time in such a wonderful environment that really gets you motivated. After all, one of the benefits of doubling your income in less time is that you can take vacations and spend time in places like this. I realize that may not be a motivator for everyone but it definitely is for me! Regardless of what motivates you, there are always reasons to invest in yourself and your business. It may be to make more money, to do so with less stress, or to just figure out how to be better at it so that you can have more time off.Whatever your motivator is, the one main ‘aha’ that agents got from the retreat and that you can use in your business today is:Start where you are and commit to working on your business a little bit every day. Don’t worry about where you are in comparison to others. Just get clear on where you are and where you want to go…and then focus on moving forward each day. One of the mantras in our house that even our boys have known since the time they could walk is ‘Forward Motion Every Day’. (Yes, I grew up in a military family. My Dad was in the Air Force. Can your tell?) It applies in every area of life though. Whether it’s a big step or a small one, it’s about moving forward each day. How do you do this?At the beginning of each day ask yourself: What 3 things can I do today to move myself forward in my business?

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?…
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…
You’re Not Behind, There Are Infinite Options
Your in box is about to fill up with emails about us being 1/2 through the year. You know – the ones that ask if you’re on track with your goals, and offer a solution to whip you into shape for the next 6 months. If you are having a great year – I celebrate…
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.…
