Is This Missing From Your Business Plan?
Hurray for planning season!
Business is winding down for 2014 and it’s time to look at 2015. The New Year is a blank slate, just waiting for you to create something amazing.
It’s filled with possibility. Does that scare you or inspire you? Maybe a little bit of both?
This week I lead a mentorship group for our Women’s Council of Realtors chapter on business planning and what we thought would be an intimate round table ended up being standing room only!
Wow! We definitely hit on a hot topic.
What I kept hearing over and over is the frustration of trying to figure out a business plan that actually helps.
We covered a lot of things during the mentorship meeting, but one of the biggest aha’s was realizing what isn’t on most plans:
Having a coach, mentor, or accountability partner to keep you on track
There are few guarantees in life, but one thing that is for certain is that no matter how great your plan is and how committed you are to it, you are going to get off track. The difference between those that succeed and those that struggle is how fast they get back on.
The benefit of having a coach is that they can see is faster and help you course correct. I doubled my business this year and a big part of that was having a coach to keep me on track and see where I was missing things.
So take the first step to creating success for next year and make sure that you have an awesome coach in place.
And if you want some more help with your business plan and are overwhelmed with the options, I’m hosting a business planning workshop from 12-3 on Tuesday December 9th.
We will be boiling it down to what works for you and creating the mindset you need to get you there.

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…
