3 D’s of Success

NICOLE

NICOLELast week I had the hono0r of speaking on a panel at Inman Connect in San Francisco. The conference was a fantastic mix of agents, managers, owners and technology companies all focused on making the real estate experience better for the agents and their clients. It’s amazing how many options are out there! As with every conference, my goal was to meet 3 new people and find 1 thing that I’m going to implement immediately.

I met dozens of incredible people and the app that I fell in love with is Refresh. It pulls together a social media and internet dossier on people in moments. Giving you everything you need to instantly connect with you next potential client.

The panel and I spoke on Success in a Dress. Female Entrepreneurship.

One of our biggest questions that came up was; how do you get it all done and keep things moving forward? I shared my 3 D’s of any successful day:

Delete: What can you delete from your to do list or calendar? Maybe it’s somethihng that has been on your list for months. Or maybe it’s a marketing plan that sounds exciting, but you are not convinced that it will actually make you money. Let them go. They drag you down, stress you out and zap your energy. Letting them go opens you up to new sales.

Delegate: What can you delegate to someone else? There are things that need to be done, but maybe not by you. Maybe it’s personal, like cleaning your house, or hiring someone to meet contractors, photographers, etc. Those things that eat up big chunks of your day, but don’t need to be done by you.

Do: Take action each day with intention. It’s easy to be reactionary, pinging from one thing to the next. Yes, you are busy, but are you productive? Did you work on your goals or someone else’s? Each day ask yourself “What 1 thing can you do today to move yourself forward?”

What are your 3 D’s today?

To your success!

It’s Not Just Your Story – It’s Everyone Else’s Too

August 28, 2026

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. Esther, aka Abraham Hicks, has been a leader in mindset, energy, and attraction for decades. My mom actually took my sister and me to a workshop 30 years ago,…

Bet On Yourself VS The Market

August 21, 2026

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

August 14, 2026

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 7, 2026

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?

June 19, 2026

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

May 29, 2026

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

May 22, 2026

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…
