Use Your Super Power
As we close out May, I thought it would be fun to have one more tribute to Mom’s and their super powers. Dad’s don’t fret, I know you have super powers too. More on those next month.
Today’s super power: Observation
You told your kids that you have eyes in the back of your head, and they believed you. How else could you know the things you do? Like the fact that they haven’t brushed their teeth, that they didn’t eat their sandwich at lunch, or turn in their homework?
Easy, you paid attention, watched for the signs and activated your mommy network to pull in reinforcements with additional information. All of this happened without your kids ever having a clue. To them, you are magical, and maybe a little scary with your ability to just “know” things.
Are you using your Observation powers in your business as well?
When you do, it turbo charges your momentum and things come together much quicker.
Here’s what I mean:
- When going through a listing presentation, and you notice your client getting glassy-eyed, you know they are getting overwhelmed. Or maybe you hit on a sensitive topic. If you are not observant, you will blow right through it and probably lose the listing. If you are observing your clients, you will take it as a cue to slow down, check in and dive deeper.
- When working with a buyer, asking them if they want to buy every house is sales’y and gets old. If you are paying attention, they will give you all the clues you could possibly imagine when they walk into “the” house. From there all you have to do is guide them in to a successful offer.
- During escrow, you are paying attention to all of the facets of the transaction. So when you realize that your clients are going to be out-of-town the week of closing, you notify the escrow company in advance so that they can schedule things as necessary.
All of these make you look like a hero.
Some call it intuition, others call it being psychic, others call it the ability to be present, pay attention and act on the information they receive.
What ever you call it, it’s a vital part of success, so start observing and then acting.
To your success!

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.…
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…
