What If Everything is An Experiment?
I’ll admit it, I’m not great at asking for help. Even when I know I need it.
There are a variety of reason I struggle with asking:
- I’m busy and taking a step back to asses what I can outsource feels like one more task I don’t have time for.
- The task is something I’m not good at, so I’m not sure how to even ask for what I need.
- I’m a bit disorganized, so the thought of pulling things together for someone else feels daunting.
- Sometimes it feels frivolous. I mean I could do it, I just don’t want to.
Needless to say, I spend a lot of time overthinking things, afraid to let go and end up doing them myself, even when I’m not the best person for the job.
It’s time to up level and get some help.
As I was looking at my overflowing to do list this week and doing my typical overwhelm / overthinking dance, I realized I was putting WAY too much pressure on myself to figure it out. I was more worried about not messing up than with finding a solution.
What if I treated it as an experiment?
Experiments are less pressure. There aren’t pass / fail. They are moments in time that provide information and guidance for going forward. Something worked? Awesome – let’s do it again. Something didn’t work? No big deal, let’s evaluate and adjust as necessary.
Ahhhh, I can feel my shoulders relaxing already.
From the space of things being an experiment – I was able to reach out to some people this week to help with various things. I’m excited and hopeful that it will all work out. If not, the door is open for us to adjust until we get it right.
It’s been a good reminder of the pressures we put on ourselves, that don’t need to be there.
What can you experiment with this week?
To your success!

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…
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…
