What Do You Need to Believe to Achieve Your Goals?
We come back to mindset a lot. It’s THE biggest factor in achieving your goals and the EASIEST one to get off track on. There are a lot of nuances to it, and it needs constant attention.
Your beliefs determine your actions and their outcome.
It’s why 2 people can start with the same action plan and months later one is going strong and reaping the rewards, while the other has given up and seems stuck in pretty much the same place they started.
Take a look at your goals from last week’s post. What do you REALLY want to create in 2022?
What do you have to believe for that to happen and how is it different from your current beliefs?
- What do you need to believe about the market?
- About yourself?
- Your clients?
- Other agents?
- The people you work with – contractors, stagers, lenders, etc?
** This is not a list of your current experiences – which are by products of your current beliefs. It’s a list of what you want to create.
Here’s an example. It’s no big secret that I think it’s tough working with buyers right now. I absolutely LOVE my buyers and clients as people. The experience of getting them a house with multiple offers, tight timeframes, etc – I don’t love that. But each time I say that I’m reinforcing the belief that it’s arduous and frustrating for buyers right now.
My goal for next year is to work with Buyers and have it be a better, more enjoyable process for all. In which case, what do I need to believe differently?
- That the timing always works perfectly for my Buyers
- Their ideal home shows up quickly once we start working together
- They always win on their first or second try
- The listing agent is a joy to work with
Give it a try and see what happens. In the beginning it may feel a little silly. But if you stick with it, things will start to show up differently in your life. Commit to it for 90 days, and see what happens. You will be amazed.
To your success!

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…. Waiting for interest rates to get betterWaiting for the market to improve (whatever that means)Waiting to show up on social media until they know how to create the perfect viral postWaiting … Waiting … Waiting … I get it. 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?
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…
