What Ever You Believe – You’re Right

By Nicole Mangina | August 5, 2022

This was a busy week. Gary was out of town, Ryan had his first college showcase baseball tournament – which meant 3 full days at the ballfield, I had 2 closings, negotiated another offer, did an updated photoshoot for my website which of course involved some last minute shopping for ‘just the right look’ and…

Does Being Busy = Success?

By Nicole Mangina | July 28, 2022

As we roll into August – this feels like a question worth contemplating.

A whole month to just have fun. But could you do it?…

By Nicole Mangina | July 22, 2022

Crazy Insane CrashRescessionScreetching haltUncertain I’ve heard all of these used to describe the market as agents talk among themselves and also with their clients. These are not helpful scripts.

Perception Is Not Perspective

By Nicole Mangina | June 16, 2022

Alex graduated from high school this week. It’s been fun celebrating this milestone with him. It has been a journey in so many ways. As I watched the kids gather with their friends it reminded me of how differently we view the world at 17 than when we are – older. Our perception of what…

Being vs Becoming

You have a goal. Maybe it’s income, or health and fitness, or a relationship goal. Something different than where you are currently at. Which means you are in the process of becoming. Let’s say you currently sell 15 houses a year and you would like to sell 30. You are working on becoming an agent…

What If You Are Enough Right Now?

By Nicole Mangina | May 26, 2022

How often do we beat ourselves up over the what if’s of life? Assuming that we are somehow inadequate or have fallen short and if we can only …. things would be better. Whatever your phrase of choice to fill in the blank it essentially comes down to, you are not enough or adequate the…
