Success Secret: Do Less of What You Like and More of What You Love
This post was inspired by my good friend Valerie Garcia. She shared this note in her newsletter this week:
Do less of what you like and more of what you love.
Trade likes for loves and over time you’ll build a remarkable life.
It struck me how perfect and true this is as we embark on a new year of aspirations and dreams.
Our world is determined by our actions, and yet many of them don’t align with our dreams.
It’s the little things that determine our results in the end. Netflix vs a book. Numbing out on social media vs working out.
No one will tell you that you are a bad person or doing it wrong for doing the former, but the later can change your life.
My word for this year is Intention. To bring intention to all that I do, say and think. And to pare that with gentle grace. Knowing that I’m not going to get it right all of the time. However, by bringing awareness / intention to how I’m showing up I can catch myself and make adjustments to ensure that I’m doing less of what I like and more of what I love.
What are your loves that you would like to do more of this year?

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

Bet On Yourself VS The Market

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?…

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…
