Your Ideal Client and Knowing When to Refer
This has come up twice in the last few weeks so it feels like it’s worth revisiting. We all have those moments: Maybe you’ve been super slow and are feeling like you would take any client that comes your way, just so that you can have something to do, and hopefully make some money. Or…
Read MoreAwareness + Action, The Ultimate Combo For Your Next Phase
One of the blessings from all of this is space. As our schedules lightened up, it provided the space to be present in daily life, and the option to do things differently. We are often busy going through the motions of life to “just get it done”. There isn’t an opportunity for the awareness of…
Read MoreTrue Confessions About Consistency
When they closed gyms back in March I panicked and ordered a Peloton. I’ve wanted one for a while, and this was the nudge I needed. There are lots of things I love about the bike – the classes, how easy it is to get in a great workout, and the tracking. If there was…
Read MoreStats vs Emotions, There’s a Time and Place For Both
Emotions are running at an all time high right now. We have all been profoundly affected in one way or another with what is going on. It takes daily, intentional effort not to get caught up in the doom and gloom. It’s easy to feel like the world is at a standstill as we all…
Read MoreHow Do You Plan For The Worst While Trying To Manifest The Best?

With the shelter in place order that came out this week, chances are you’ve got some extra time in your schedule. It’s a perfect time to work on your business, since we can’t really work in it right now. The “Disney experience” is legendary and serves as a model for many businesses. When we were…
Read MoreStructure + Phone = Sanity & Sales
This has been our first full week of everyone at home and it’s been an interesting one. 2 factors seem to be in play. The first is feeling disconnected to the rest of the world. The second is that all of our structure evaporated overnight. The being at home part is actually going great. Yes,…
Read MoreWhen It Feels Like A Snow Day, But Isn’t
That escalated quickly! We went from wash your hands to schools are closed for 6 weeks and we are all supposed to work from home and avoid social situations. You know things are getting serious when Disneyland closes! It will be interesting to see how this all turns out. I am incredibly grateful right now…
Read MoreDon’t Worry About Other People’s Busy Or That You’re Missing The Market
You’ve heard the phrase before – You do You. It sounds good, but sometimes it’s easier said than done. Like right now. Everyone is talking about how busy the market is. It’s in the news, clients are talking about it. If you ask an agent how they are doing, they will likely answer “crazy busy”.…
