Your Questions Answered
The Creating Business Magic in the 4th Quarter webinar has been getting great reviews. It’s fun to see it spark so many ideas for people on ways to connect with their clients and make it truly their own.
I was chatting with a few agents last week, though, who wanted ideas on ways to connect with their clients that were not focused on kids.
So for those of you who don’t have kids at home. Or perhaps, even more so for those of you that do and are craving an adult night out, here are some ideas to get you going:
1. Wine tastings: Tasting rooms love to get into the holiday spirit with special events and decorations. Meet some clients to try the latest release.
2. Concerts: From choral music to the symphony and everything in between you can find a holiday show to enjoy.
3. Holiday Home Tours: For your clients who love to decorate. Many areas do tours of specially decorated homes during the holidays with proceeds of the ticket sales going to a local charity.
4. Sleigh Rides: If you live close to the snow. Organize a neighborhood sleigh ride and dinner.
5. Skiing: If you are a snow junkie, invite a client to go with you. What better reason to ski during the week?
6. Sporting events: Always a fun place to meet up. Organize a tail gate, a half time get together, or host a party at your house.
7. Happy Hour: It’s quick, easy, on your way home and always lots of fun.
8. Charity Drives: Do your own or support someone elses. Send an email out to your clients that you are collecting coats for a clothing drive. Then call to make sure they received it and offer to come by and pick up their donations.
Whatever you do, make it fun and something that you enjoy.
The less you make it about business, the more business it will turn into. It’s about building relationships and meeting new people.
And for those of you wondering how you turn these relationships into clients, stay tuned. The answer is coming up later this week.

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…
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.…
