Things I Would Win A Gold Medal In If They Were An Olympic Sport
I love the Olympics! The stories, the athletes, the events, all of it! It’s as inspiring as it is entertaining.
The athletes work incredibly hard to compete at that level, and while it’s work, they are leaning into talents that come naturally to them.
Which got me thinking – what if we focused on our natural talents and leaned into those more? It’s the classic debate of do you work to improve your weaknesses, or lean into your strengths and get support around the rest?
I’m all for focusing on your strengths. It’s it a whole lot more fun, and the results are better too.
What strengths can you lean into for the second half of the year? How can you use those strengths – your own gold medal talents to accomplish your goals?
Here are some of the things that come naturally to me that I’m leaning into:
- Details Decoder – My specialty is in zeroing in on the details that matter. The ones that get the best results for the effort and time spent. I can easily and quickly look at someones business and laser in on what those things are. It saves time and money, increases results and makes things a whole lot more fun.
- Intuitive Detective – What role does intuition play in business? A big one. Whether working with a real estate client or coaching an agent – there’s always more to the story when something isn’t working. My specialty is seeing what’s really going on so that we can move past it and get you back on the path to success.
- Celebrating Your Wins – I had lunch with a girlfriend this week who casually mentioned that she swam in the Olympics. Then she shrugged her shoulders like it was no big deal. What????? She is an Olympic athlete – that’s a huge deal!!!! We all do this to some degree – we don’t acknowledge and celebrate the moments in life that matter. I’m here to celebrate with you, distill the wins and the lessons and build you up so that you can do it again!
What would your gold medals be in? How can you bring more of those talents into your daily life to bring you better results and make things more fun.
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%.…
Showing Up Is Key To Letting The Good Stuff In
Why do I show up? Why do I write these emails?Why do I teach classes?Why do I believe that energy and mindset work are the foundation of real estate success, and life well lived? Because whatever it is you want – aka, the good stuff – An income that funds your lifeGreat relationships FunHappinessPeaceJoy ALL…
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…
