Dealing With Uncertainty
Today is inauguration day. Donald Trump is officially the President of the United States.
There is no way to know what will happen from here, but it seems fairly safe to say that today marks a turning point for America. History will look back on this Presidency as one that changed the course of many things.
Whether that is good, or bad remains to be seen, and probably depends on the perspective you bring.
What we do know, though, is that change is coming. And change, brings uncertainty.
In that moment of uncertainty you have two choices. Do you resort to fear, or do you stay open to possibility?
There are people much more educated on politics and the government than I am. This is not meant to be a political post. It’s about the uncertainty that is in the air right now.
The reality is that we experience it on a daily basis.
Can we meet our goal?
Will that client choose me?
Is this workout plan worth getting up early and going to the gym for?
Taking action towards anything brings with it a level of uncertainty. We do things hoping for / expecting a certain result, but there are no guarantees.
So how do you stay open, positive and moving forward vs curling up into a ball holding desperately to the status quo?
- Know that there is opportunity everywhere. Train yourself to look for it, appreciate it, and act on it.
- Know that the Universe has your back. The world is hard-wired to help you. It’s up to you to open up and receive that help.
- Know that change, evolution and uncertainty are normal. We spend so much time trying to avoid or side step them, but the reality is that it’s just part of life. Embrace it for what it is.
Each one of these statements is a choice. You can choose to believe them, or you can choose a different thought process that involves blame and hate. Make no mistake about it though, the choice is yours alone, and the consequences of your choice are life changing.
What do you choose? Love or Fear?
To your success!

What If The Market Is Better Than You Think?
Try this on for size: What if the market isn’t good or bad? What if it’s about shifting your perspective? There are amazing opportunities for both buyers and sellers right now. For buyers: Prices are down (yay!) and interest rates are up (boo!). Buyers need to consider both. In many areas prices are down 10-20%.…

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