Now What? Where Do We Go From Here?
Wow! Talk about stepping into a bigger version of yourself! Last week was definitely that for me. I had the honor of being the emcee and a speaker at Windermere’s e3 event. Not only did I get to step into a bigger version of me, I was able to see others do the same as they bravely raised their hand to speak and share with their peers.
Moments like that are amazing. To experience it with 250 other people was magical.
And then I came home – and did laundry.
Such is the ebb and flow of life.
It got me thinking about the moments in our business that are like that. You win the listing, go under contract, close a transaction. All big moments. Maybe it’s the most expensive property you’ve ever sold or you’ve now made more than you ever have before. You’re stepping into a bigger version of yourself. It feels awesome! And then there is the real world moment that follows it that reminds you that it’s just another Friday.
For me, I was lucky enough to have the experience of stepping up and sharing it with others. For most of us, though, it’s a moment in time experienced alone. Which makes it equal parts amazing and anti climactic. It can leave us wondering if it ever really happened. Better yet, can we reproduce it?
I’ve been hosting a mastermind for a group of agents for the last 7 months and we had our last meeting this week. After 7 months we’ve gotten to know each other pretty well, and this week we went deep. Yes, we talked business, but more than that everyone share – REALLY shared where they are at with life. And as a group we were able to witness each other in our moments. To hold the space, let them know they aren’t alone. It was powerful.
Both moments illustrated the power of coming together. Not only the power of it, but how essential it is.
And so that is my wish and my encouragement to you. Find your tribe. Those that encourage you to step into a bigger version of yourself and to be there to celebrate, support and encourage you.
To your success!

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…
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…
