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.

Markets Like This Call For Shorter Timeframes
For 30 years I’ve planned a year at a time. But right now I’m doing things differently. I’m breaking my plan into 60-90 day chunks. Short term planning used to stress me out. It felt like there wasn’t any margin for error if I got off track. However, right now, it feels supportive. While I…
Why I Stopped Doing Open Houses The First Weekend
Open houses the first weekend – we all do them. We tell our clients it will increase exposure. But what if those open houses are making it more difficult to sell your listing? Consider this… Buyers have come to rely on open houses to view properties. It’s convenient for them, but it means fewer showings.…
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%.…

The Cost of Waiting
I’ve talked to many agents that are waiting….

The only thing worse than feeling stuck, is…
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?
