What’s Your Upper Limit Problem?
We all have them. We get on a roll in life and everything is going just the way we want it to. Business is flowing, our personal lives are great and then something happens to mess it all up. The business dries up, we get in a fight with our spouse, we get sick and have to take a step back. Something happens that wrecks the mood and completely kills your momentum.
Then it’s back to square one to start all over again. Remember the movie Groundhogs Day where the guy has to keep repeating his day over and over and over? It’s like that, the whole 2 steps forward and one step back.
So how do you break the cycle and bust through that glass ceiling? Figure out what your Upper Limiting Behaviors are and kick them to the curb.
Gay Hendricks has an amazing book called. “The Big Leap” that talks all about this and illustrates how it shows up in your life, where it started and how to stop it. It’s a great book, easy to read and focuses more on the solution on the problem so you don’t have to do hours and hours of digging up dirt. It’s about realizing it in the moment so that you can make a different choice and move on. It’s been amazing to realize all of the ways that I limit myself through out the day.
It’s definitely one to add to your “must read” list. What other books have made a difference in your life? Leave a comment below and let me know.

Markets Like This Call For Shorter Timeframes
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
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?
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%.…

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?…
