Reclaim Your Time
This holiday season may not be filled with exotic travel like years past, but it’s still a time to relax and take a step back from work. Yet, I’ve talked to several agents this week whose phones keep on ringing. Which can create some inner conflict. How do you take your planned, and much needed…
Read MoreYour 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 MoreHow Do You Plan For The Worst While Trying To Manifest The Best?
I’ve been thinking about this lot lately. I mentioned it in last week’s post too, but this is feeling a lot like 2008. Meaning sales are still happening, but not as many. My personal thought is that we need to be prepared for 4-6 months of minimal income. Even if the stay in place order…

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.

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”.…
Read MorePositioning vs Presenting Your Offer
Review dates are back. It’s time for Buyers to bring their A game. When it’s just your offer it’s about presenting your Buyer in the best way possible. When there are multiples, it’s more about positioning your client and their offer relative to everyone else’s. Price matters, but when there are multiple offers – the…
