If You Aren’t Tracking It, You Aren’t Doing It
For the record, I can’t stand tracking my activities. It’s the foundation of any successful business, and yet it’s my least favorite thing to do. I find it tedious, it adds an extra set of papers to the mix, and then there is that part about having to be super honest about what I did or didn’t do. It’s a drag.
I know what I’m supposed to do, I intend to do it, I plan my actions at the beginning of the week, but I often skip the step at the end of the week where I review everything to make sure I actually did it.
Enter the Ninja Monday Morning Agenda. I’ve known about it for a while now, but I keep avoiding it. I’m sure that what I’m doing is close enough. It’s 4 pages long, isn’t that going overboard?
But this week I decided, what the heck, let’s give this thing a try.
And all I can say is WOW! It’s different. It’s better. It’s worth it.
It takes about 20 minutes to complete. There is an online version if you want to be environmentally friendly, but I print it out. For me, there is something powerful about taking pen to paper and physically writing it out.
The biggest difference between the Ninja agenda and what I have been doing? It forces you to treat your business like a business, not just some tasks to check off the list. I’m great at knowing how many contacts I want to make in a week and when a marketing piece needs to go out, but I often get stuck in the completing of the tasks and lose track of the bigger picture.
This asks bigger picture questions like: What went well last week? How can I improve this week? Am I reviewing my business plan and doing my affirmations and gratitudes? It may not sound important, but taking a few minutes to focus on questions like these once a week can change how you show up. You start seeing opportunities that you missed before, or finding new ways to connect and serve.
If you’ve taken and installation or are part of a mentorship group, you should have received a copy.
So as much as it pains me to say it, tracking matters. What will you track? What will you commit to?
To your success!

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…

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.

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.

I Used To Be So Afraid Of This…
I used to dread client conversations. Especially pricing conversations with sellers in a softer market, like we are in right now. I was afraid of letting them down. It came up this week with a new listing. They bought at the height of the market in 2022. Today’s prices are lower than that. How do…
What If Your Income Didn’t Depend On The Market?
There are multiple markets occurring right now – in the same cities, on the same streets. Sellers are experiencing it one way. Buyers are experiencing it another. And agents? All over the board. Same market. Completely different results. So what’s the difference? What you believe. What you look for. And how you show up. Two…
