When To Let It Be and When to Course Correct
I’m over here at my Dad’s still this week. I’ll be here for a total of 11 days. I love the time with him, but his internet is the WORST. I’m actually using my phone as a hot spot to write this post because the internet is so unstable.
I’m all for taking time to unplug and the Universe has funny ways of giving us what we need, but this is getting a little nuts.
His internet has never been great, but we aren’t usually here this long and we often stay at a VRBO nearby, so it’s never been a big deal.
Whenever the topic of his internet comes up he says ‘that’s all that’s available here’. Which I knew could not be true, but I just let it ride. It’s his house, if he’s not worried about it I won’t, etc. But on day 6 his problem became my problem and it was time for a change.
So we called the neighbors and found out who their internet provider is and are getting it switched over.
It got me thinking about the scenarios in our lives that hold us back and slow our progress that we just accept as ‘that’s just the way it is’ without ever really putting effort into finding other solutions.
And sometimes there are really easy solutions out there – like call the neighbor to find out who their internet is.
And so that is my encouragement to you. Get clear on what your ‘internet factor’ is. That thing that just is. That you tolerate. That you assume you can’t change.
Then talk to people about it. Not in a whinny complaining way. In a – hey I’m struggling with X, how have you handled it? Sometimes the solutions are easier than we realize.
Feel like your business plan, or lack there of is holding you back? Join Diane Terry and I on December 12th for Energy + Systems = Business Planning Success!
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. On the one hand – it makes perfect sense. Our brains crave predictability. It calms our nervous system.…
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…

I Stopped Waiting For The World To Change… That’s When Everything Did
I cringe when I look back at the things I used to believe about my business. Things like: For a long time, I believed these things were true, and out of my control to change. Until I learned how powerful energy and mindset are when applied to business. Here’s what my business looks like now…
