Why I Coach and What Agents Are Saying
I am an over achiever with a background in science and math. I love structure and the assurance that a + b always equals c.
In real life, though, that only works to a point.
I’m also very spiritual. I believe that the energy we bring to any situation affects the outcome. Especially in real estate.
When you ignore the energy piece of things it can feel like everything is a struggle.
When you embrace energy, things happen seemingly like magic. Like my $5M buyer that showed up a few weeks ago.
I remember getting my license at the ripe old age of 23, showing up for my first day of work at the office and thinking “uh oh”! Everyone was twice my age, cranky and with terrible personal lives.
Admittedly, without other role models, I fell into the same trap. After all, I’m an overachiever. Why not throw more hours at my new business? It just meant I was committed right?
In some ways it worked, but I was so caught up in the who works more hours race that I stopped evaluating was effective and worth the time.
In the beginning I was single, so it wasn’t a big deal. Then I got married and we had a family. Not only was working 24/7 not an option any more, but the cracks were starting to show at home.
*Note: Do not take from this that if you are single it’s okay to skip the having a life part!
Fortunately, around this time I was introduced to a new way of doing business. It was all about structuring your business, so that you can have a life. And when you really embrace it, often times your business and life merge. To me, that’s when it gets really fun!
I had great success with the program, and have made my own changes along the way.
As a result of my success, people started asking me to teach classes. I found that agents are hungry for help. The real world version. Not some hypothetical version that requires you to work 80 hours a week, or spend thousand of dollars on assistants.
During classes, I would watch people. Their shoulders would relax and come down from their ears. They would get a glimmer in their eye as they realized, “This would work for me”.
Right there and then I knew that I had found my purpose.
I’m good at real estate. In fact, I’m better than most. I love it, and I’ll continue doing it.
But the thing that feeds my soul is helping others succeed in real estate and be the best person they can be. It’s the butterfly effect of how many lives are affected, when one person becomes more positive and believes in themselves?
To truly understand my why, here are what other agents have had to say about coaching / mentoring with me:
“Thank you so much for working with me and coaching me. The coaching calls we had together help me go from a place where I was grateful for my business but felt like I was barely staying afloat because I was so busy, to a place where I can just be grateful, excited and moving forward with my business. Your big picture thinking, along with your small tips and tricks has really had a positive impact on me in both my personal and professional life. Thank you for all of your help and advice!”
~Erin E. Wright
“I joined one of Nicole’s mentorship groups in the beginning of 2015 and it has made all the difference – I highly recommend. She has this fantastic way of energizing and inspiring me on both a professional and personal level. I can’t wait to do it again….I think of it as a gift to myself!
It’s about waking up each day excited for life and confident that things are going to go your way.”
~ Julie Wilson
“I found Nicole’s Mentorship program to be Great Fun & a rewarding experience. Working with Nicole helped me explore, brainstorm, & clarify what / how to go forward with my personal & business goals and enjoy the experiences along the way!! Create magic in life & be thankful”

“Thank you Nicole for your insight, honest and supportive approach during your mentorship program! It’s made such a huge impact and I look forward to growing and developing my business and enriching my personal life as well smile emoticon Here’s to serving others, having fun and earning a living!”

There are 3 1/2 months left in 2015. With the right focus and intention, you can accomplish a lot.
That being said, doing it on your own can be hard. It’s easy to fall of track, we all do.
That’s where the Mindset ~ Marketing ~ Sales mentorship group comes in.
Let me help you. Sometimes the easiest solution is the hardest one to see on our own.
If you have questions about the group, let me know.
For details on what we will be covering, click here.
No matter what, make these commitments to yourself:
- You can do this
- You are worthy of your goals
- Know that the Universe is here to support you
- Don’t settle
- Decide that now is your time
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…

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…
