Are You Ready For What’s Coming? Bonus Points If You Know What ‘It’ is?
Is it just me, or is there some serious doom and gloom out there right now regarding the market and the economy for next year?
I was chatting with an agent who had been listening to various podcasts that talked about being ready for what’s coming, and it was stressing them out. Especially since no one actually said WHAT is coming.
Not exactly a recipe for confidence.
Here’s the deal – EVERY year is different than the one before it. So why do some years inspire confidence and others hesitation that left unattended can turn to down right dread?
It comes down to what we focus on and the value / weight we give to it.
In any market, focusing on external factors diminishes our confidence. Interest rates, inventory levels, unemployment, the stock market, etc. They are things we can not control. And this time of year can be extra hard because we all want to predict what will happen in the next 12 months relative to these factors and then anticipate their effect on the market.
And while they will have an impact, none of them are the IT that is coming.
What’s coming is life. And life precipitates real estate.
Our sole job is to be there when it does and help our clients navigate the process. Something that you have been doing for years.
So know that you’ve got this. There isn’t any big, scary ‘it’ out there that you need to be afraid of.
Sales will happen, our clients will need us more than ever, and it’s all going to be okay.
Feel like you could use a little help going into the new year? I invite you to check out my Master Your Energy to Change Your Life course. Because our mindset and energy will play a bigger role this year than they ever have before. I’m doing a FREE intro call on January 11th if you want to find out more about it. And if you know it’s exactly what you need – the 6 week course starts January 18th – mark your calendar and we will have registration info out soon.
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…
