I Should Really Take My Own Advice!
“Small, consistent steps yield exponential changes in your business” is a mantra of mine. It’s funny, though, how I forget to translate that into other areas of my life. Case in point: I have been wanting to get a better handle on how we spend our money. After all, it’s about making your money work…
Read MoreWhy Most Business Plans Don’t Work
A well known trainer sent out a business plan template recently for agents to use in the coming year. The first page was a budget of expenses to determine the correct income goal for each agent. If you are like me, you are a classic sales person, which means you have no idea what the…

When was the last time you celebrated your accomplishments big and small? It’s the last week of the year. Next week we dive into the New Year, new goals and endless resolutions.

Read MoreGive Yourself a Grace Period
I confess. In the past, I have been guilty of packing way too much into a day. I would race around from one appointment to the next with barely 5 minutes to return a phone call, let alone get a glass of water or find something to eat. I often ended the day ravenously hungry…

Read MoreAre you doing what YOU want this weekend?
I love weekends. In theory, they are a time to rejuvenate from the week, have some fun and maybe get a few things done around the house. If you are in real estate, though, that is often not the case. It can be a crazy time of meeting clients in between family functions only to…
