What Are Your Tools For Success?
January often feels like a get ready to get ready month, so let’s keep the train rolling.
Last week we talked about the value of having a word and picking one that either inspires or challenges you.
This week, let’s take a look at your tools and make sure they are all up to speed for the new year.
Here’s my checklist:
- The Ninja Planner – I run my daily schedule of my digital calendar, but I love the Ninja planner because I can track my weekly contacts, and have a visual of sales, closing dates, etc. It gives me the 10,000 ft view that I can’t get from a screen.
- Database – Whatever program you use, make sure it’s up to date and ready to go with everyone’s information
- A Hot / Warm list – Having one and focusing on it weekly will double your business
- A marketing plan for the year – Trust me, I’ve tried thinking up postcards or newsletter ideas on the fly. It just doesn’t happen. You need a plan for the whole year before the end of the month. Bonus points if you can pre do any of it to make it easier to send out down the road
- Support people – This could be a lot of different things. If you need your own assistant, great, but it could also be working with the office staff to get some extra help, partnering with another agent for certain things, creating a bond with a contractor to ensure they are there when you need them. Take a look at your business and decide what you can get support on our outsource
- A class, coach, group, something to keep you on track and going – It should be pre planned and happen multiple times a year. It’s great to have agents you can go out to lunch with on occasion, but this is something that happens regularly and it’s focus is to keep you on track and make you better. Ninja Mastery is awesome.
From there, you should be ready to rock and roll for the year.
What are your tools?
To your success!

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…
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…
