You Don’t Attract What You Want, You Attract What You Are

If you are anything like me, you have done more than a couple of goal setting exercises only to end up in the exact same spot as you were before.

Frustrating!

It wasn’t from a lack of effort, but something didn’t click, and while it may not have been an epic failure, it wasn’t exactly the amazing success that you were planning for.

So what is the key to why it works sometimes and not others or for some people and not others?

The secret sauce is that you don’t attract what you want, you attract what you are.

Most specifically, you attract what you vibrate.

The Universe responds to energy.

Here’s an example: Have you ever asked someone how they are doing, and had them respond “fine” or even “great”, but you can tell that they are far from it. And then they go on to have a perfectly average or even miserable day? It’s because the Universe matched up with their vibration, not their words.

It’s the same as when you set a goal lets say to make $250,000. You might even do your affirmations, commit to making your calls and all sorts of other things. But if internally you are having thoughts of: “jeez, I hope this works,” or “who am I to do this?” That is exactly what you will get in return. My guess is that you will have some initial success, and then about ½ or ¾ of the way to your goal the wheels will come off and you can’t figure out why.

The Universe is designed to help and support your vibration. They want you to succeed, but they can only work off the information that you give them.

So help them out.

Practice each day not just seeing your goals, but feeling them. This can happen in 5 minutes. It might be the hardest 5 minutes to find in your day, but it worth more than an hour of “working” on something that you don’t ultimately believe in or have confidence in your self to accomplish.

The trick with this is to stay out of the how. Don’t worry about “how” it will show up, although I know that’s what you are dying to figure out. Just focus on how you want it to look in the end.

The Universe will take care of the HOW often much better than you ever could have imagined.

To Your Success!

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?

July 24, 2026

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

June 12, 2026

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…

Recalibrate In a Business That Runs 24/7

May 15, 2026

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

May 1, 2026

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.…
