Trust The Process
It’s almost Christmas, and I’m spending the weekend with Gary and the boys taking in the sights downtown Seattle. I love these last 2 weeks of the year. Everything turns inward as the focus shifts from work to family, rest and relaxation.
Just like anyone else who runs their own business though, taking time off comes with a bit of angst. That little voice in the back of my head who says I should be “doing something” work related. I have to keep the train rolling.
Taking time off means that we have to trust the process, and that new clients will continue to show up.
This came up in our last mentorship session, and is the perfect mantra for the next few weeks.
At the time we were talking about making calls and wondering if they were doing any good. In that moment, you have 2 choices. You can focus on the doubt, which will spin you into a cul-de-sac of indecision and inaction. Or you can relax into it and trust the process.
*As we went around the table for a check in, those that trusted the process and made their calls had amazing success stories. Stories of new listings, million dollar buyers, and more. All from reaching out and connecting with their clients.
If you trust the process, and do core activities, the results will come. Guaranteed.
It’s consistency that makes them work, though. And that consistency will create momentum that allows you to take time off.
The tricky part with any system is that just like planting a garden, there is a time between when you plant the seed and it comes up through the ground where you wonder if it’s working.
This is where most agents give up.
Now is the time to trust the process. Stop trying to make it harder. Take a deep breath and know that you can do this.

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…
