Tap Tap – Is This Thing Still On?
That every other week blog post thing turned into a little longer than I thought.
Sorry about that!
This year’s real estate market has been one for the record books. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart. Back in April, things got super busy, and I did exactly what I tell everyone else not to do.
I put aside things that were important to me “just for a little while” so that I could get through being busy.
- I told myself that not going to the gym was a form of self-care because it meant I could get some extra sleep.
- I told myself that not traveling was okay because we have so much going on.
- I told myself that not connecting with my real estate tribe, blogging and mentoring was okay, because I needed to focus elsewhere.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
There are things in life that feed your soul. They make you happy, they inspire you, and they make you better in every area of your life, whether or not it seems like they are related.
- Going to the gym makes me happy. I feel better physically, mentally and emotionally when I work out.
- Travel is my passion. Experiencing the world is what it’s all about.
- And then there is the mentoring. It is what lights me up. I have read every course evaluation from every class I’ve ever taught, and the notecards that come in, and the emails. I have kept many of them. When someone tells me that I’ve:
Helped them feel more confident about their abilities
Given them the tools to finally reach their goals after years of falling short
Given them a business blueprint that they can follow and isn’t overwhelming
Helped them take action instead of flailing around
Helped them realize that they are not alone
It makes me happier than anything else I do.
So I’m back, and I’m here to stay. You can look forward to weekly emails, and I’ve got some awesome mentorship options coming your way.
Thank you for being part of my tribe. Together, we are all better.
Is there anything that you have put on the back burner for longer than you thought? If so, make now your time to revisit it.
We all get off track. It’s having the courage to get back on that matters.

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…
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.…
