Does Your Business Need A Tour Guide?
The British are coming!
The British are coming!
We learned the truth about Paul Revere’s great ride during our trip to Boston last week. Turns out he didn’t ride through the streets yelling about the British. Instead he went from house to house spreading the word so they didn’t alert the loyalists.
One of our adventures was a tour of the Freedom Trail. (Here’s a picture of our adorable guide dressed up in period clothes.)
While we could have walked it on our own and read the guidebook, it was much nicer to have a guide. She made it interesting and relevant. She also highlighted things that we would have missed otherwise. Or we would not have realized how important they were.
Did you know James Otis was one of the first people involved with the revolution even though John Hancock and Sam Adams are more talked about? James had the ideas, John financed it and Sam rallied the troops.
It’s a lot like your business. You can read books all you want. They will help, but it’s easy to miss nuances that make all of the difference. It’s like putting together IKEA furniture with only 1/2 of the directions.
The other draw back is that no one is there to answer your questions which can stall your progress.
Getting a coach or mentor is like having a tour guide for your business.
They give you the inside scoop that you would other wise miss, and highlight the stuff that works so that you don’t get distracted.
Talk to any successful person and they will tell you that having mentors made a huge difference.
With that, the fall session of the Mindset ~ Marketing ~ Sales mentorship group is officially open for registration. Click here for dates and details about what we will be covering.
Many of you have asked about upcoming sessions. This will be the last one for 2015, so if you have been thinking about it, now is the time.
Here’s the link to get you going.
To your success!

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.…
I Used To Be So Afraid Of This…
I used to dread client conversations. Especially pricing conversations with sellers in a softer market, like we are in right now. I was afraid of letting them down. It came up this week with a new listing. They bought at the height of the market in 2022. Today’s prices are lower than that. How do…
What If Your Income Didn’t Depend On The Market?
There are multiple markets occurring right now – in the same cities, on the same streets. Sellers are experiencing it one way. Buyers are experiencing it another. And agents? All over the board. Same market. Completely different results. So what’s the difference? What you believe. What you look for. And how you show up. Two…
