Change The Narrative
You don’t have to be a creative writing expert to be a great story teller. The reality is that we tell ourselves stories all day long. Stories about why our business is where it is / or isn’tStories about why a relationship is the way it isStories about what we can / or can’t accomplishStories…
Read MorePlan Your Start / Stop List
This is one of my favorite things to do each year. After all of the goal setting, action planning, visualizing, etc is done. (Or even instead of all of those things if it’s too overwhelming.) It’s time to break it down. Grand gestures sound good, but are often difficult to sustain. It’s the small things…
Read MoreBe Kind To Yourself
With all of the talk about goal setting, upping your game, being your best self, etc it’s important to remember to be kind to yourself. Nothing good comes out of beating yourself up for what you should or could have done, or blaming others for things. Know that we all have wins and loses. Things…

Wow! How about those Seahawks? Football fan or not, Monday’s game against the 49’ers was one for the record books. Talk about excitement – to win in the last second of overtime is amazing. There were some great takeaways from that game. The biggest one of which is – sometimes you need ALL of the…
Read MoreWhy Reviewing Your Stats For 2019 Is A Bad Idea
This post goes against pretty much every business plan ever written. You know the ones – the first 5 pages are spent disecting the current year, and from there you are supposed to spend the next 5-10 pages mapping out the next year? Have you ever actually filled out those first 5 pages? I mean…

Welcome to November – it’s officially the holiday season. Events start popping up on the calendar, and the window of opportunity for selling homes in 2019 starts closing. It’s easy to write off the next 2 months and think that you’ll just get back to it in January. Don’t do that! Whether you close another…

“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be” Maya Angelou I walked by this tree the other day and it took my breath away. Something about the light and the intensity of the yellow leaves – it seemed to glow. A beautiful, bright beacon, standing taller…
Read MoreThe Phrase That Pays: Part 2
I loved reading your responses to last week’s post! It’s amazing what a difference 2 little words can make. What if statements are designed to dissolve resistance and open you up to possibilities. From that state it’s easier to see options that were hidden before. This week it’s all about owning your ability to create.…
Read MoreThe Phrase That Pays: Part 1
The 4th quarter is the new 1st quarter when it comes to mapping out goals and creating a plan. As we roll into conference / goal setting season I wanted to share a phrase that has made a huge difference. If you are like a lot of people (me included) these events can be inspiring…
Read MoreThe Downside of Waiting For Things To Happen
I’ve been guilty of this lately. My normal MO is to decide I want something, and then take action. In many cases, the creating is half the fun. It’s always interesting to see the magical way things come together. But lately I’ve been putting off taking action while I wait to see what the market…
