Are You Easing Into The Year or Taking Off Like a Rocket?

Last week was everyone posting their stats from 2022. This week includes posts about first offers written.
I love seeing the posts, but it’s a good reminder to do your year your way. This is a marathon, not a sprint. You have lots of time to accomplish any goal you’ve set.
So how can you set yourself for success and not get sucked into comparisonitis?
- Set and focus on YOUR goals. Some agents have goals to sell 100 houses a year. I don’t. So while I will enjoy celebrating their success, their sales numbers have nothing to do with how I will judge the success of my year.
- Make sure your goals include a life outside of real estate. Because all work and no play, is just well – not what this whole thing is about.
- Stay in motion. Whether its coffee, lunches, going for walks, making calls, or something else – make it a goal each day to connect with others. Hibernation is rarely the solution to anything.
- Treat your energy and mindset like the most important element. Because it affects everything.
This is the time of year when we often want to build to do lists. All of the new things we will do that are guaranteed to help us sell more.
But usually the answer isn’t adding more things to do. It’s showing up better to the things you are already doing. And that starts with your energy.
Feel like your’s could use a boost? In invite you to join the Master Your Energy Course. I’m doing a free intro call next Wednesday, the 11th at 9:30 am pst if you want to find out if it’s the right fit for you. And if you want to go all in, the 6 week course starts January 18th. Details will be out soon.
To your success!

Tomorrow is the 4th. This is your reminder – it’s okay to take time off. Just because technology allows us to work anytime, anywhere doesn’t mean you should. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do, is to do nothing productive at all. Enjoy the day and be present. To your success! Nicole

Summer officially starts today! I live for the long days, spur of the moment dinners on the deck with friends, the warm weather, and relaxed vibe.
