How Energy and Mindset Affect Your Income

nicolem

In real estate, we obsess over skills, tactics, and checklists.

How to market the listing.
What to say when a seller wants to overprice.
How many calls to stay in “flow.”

And yet, those things only get you so far…

If your internal state is scattered, doubtful, resentful, or exhausted… no amount of tactical excellence can override that.

That’s where energy and mindset come in, and why I created Lead with Energy, Close with Confidence — a class designed to help agents apply the inner work to outer results.

I’ve had a lot of conversations with agents lately.

Good agents. Experienced agents. Agents who know all of the things — and yet something is off.

Maybe it’s inconsistent income.
Or burnout disguised as “I just need to push a little harder.”
Or questioning if you even want to ride one more wave of this market.

If this rings true, there’s likely a voice inside whispering:

“There’s more to it. I can’t just grind harder this time. I need a different kind of fuel.”

And you’re right.

This isn’t about forcing more discipline.
This isn’t about downloading one more spreadsheet.
This is about shifting the state you operate from.

It’s about tapping into your super powers – your energy and mindset.


In case you’re wondering: Energy & Mindset Aren’t “Woo” — They’re Scientific

Neuroscientists have found that your brain processes up to 11 million bits of information per second — but your logical mind only handles about 40.

That means almost everything you say, do, notice (or don’t notice) in your business is driven by what’s happening beneath the surface.

If your internal state is rooted in stress, scarcity, comparison, or fatigue…

  • You unknowingly filter for problems rather than opportunities
  • You hesitate instead of lead
  • You signal doubt — even when your words are confident

But when your nervous system is grounded and your energy is aligned?

  • You become more creative, decisive, and magnetic
  • Conversations flow
  • Clients trust you faster
  • You naturally attract people who want to work with you — not negotiate against you

Real estate isn’t just a business. It’s an energetic transmission.


That’s why I created Lead with Energy, Close with Confidence — for agents who already know how to work hard, and are ready to learn how to work in alignment

In this class, I’ll teach you:

✔️ How to regulate your energy before you walk into every conversation (listing appointment, negotiation, even follow-up calls)

✔️ How to train your brain to default to confidence rather than survival mode — using simple neuroscience-backed tools

✔️ How to attract more aligned clients without grinding — because yes, clients feel your energy in every interaction

✔️ How to create consistency without burnout — so your business feels spacious and successful


This isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about activating the version of you who already knows how to lead powerfully.

If your gut is saying “This is exactly what I’ve been needing,” trust that.

👉 Join us inside Lead with Energy, Close with Confidence.
Your business — and your nervous system — will thank you.

To your success!

Markets Like This Call For Shorter Timeframes

November 5, 2026

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

October 30, 2026

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?

October 23, 2026

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%.…

The only thing worse than feeling stuck, is…

It’s Not Just Your Story – It’s Everyone Else’s Too

August 28, 2026

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

August 21, 2026

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

August 14, 2026

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 7, 2026

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?…
