attitude: Find Your People - 02/02/24 09:51 AM
There are a number of items that can spell success or failure in a real estate agent's business. Many of these items are under an agent's control - activities that keep an agent top-of-mind with past clients like mailing consistently to a farm and of course, doing a great job with buyers and sellers they are currently working with. However, there are a number of threats that are outside of an agent's control: what the Fed does with interest rates, whether it makes financial sense for a seller to sell, or how much new construction builders build. Today I want to … (1 comments)

attitude: Focus Your Mindset - 10/20/23 04:33 PM

Focus Your Mindset Today I want to talk about mindset and what is going on in our world. Agents are really nervous right now. I can't blame you for being nervous, upset, and horrified by what is happening over in Israel, I feel exactly the same way about it. Now, I also want to talk about how your mindset around all issues affects real estate.
You should be aware that you aren't the only person watching the news. Buyers and sellers are also watching the news and they are nervous too. They are wondering whether negative news should influence a … (8 comments)

Rebuild with Kindness
What an incredible year 2020 has been. I know many of you have confided in me about your personal struggles and how Covid has affected your business and your life. You have been forced to learn many new skills this year including how to zoom while juggling kids at home and barking dogs. (Personally, I treasure those barking dog moments.) There is no doubt that all of this has taken a big toll on your emotions and your state of mind.
Recently I was speaking with a client who was having a pretty hard time adjusting … (1 comments)

Counting Blessings: My Dad
As the year draws to a close... COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!
Many of my clients know that 2016 was a very difficult year for me because I lost my father. I have never experienced the level of emotional pain I felt when I lost the man who brought me into this world. I have never spoken of this in print because it has been too painful for me to discuss.
This has been a very tough year; the emotional roller coaster I have been on is something I have never experienced before and never want to … (3 comments)

One Person Can Make a Huge Difference
Recently, I traveled to New Orleans to speak at the National Association of REALTORS® Convention for the Women's Council of REALTORS®. I had never been to New Orleans before and was excited to see what was in store for me there. I traveled with Shauna from my company and we stayed at a hotel that had a restaurant that we frequented daily for breakfast.
The first day we arrived in the restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised at the great service we received from our server, Byron. But Byron didn't just provide good … (1 comments)

attitude: Peak Performance ... Part 2! - 01/20/12 04:29 AM
Peak Performance ... Part 2!
Last week I spoke about the concept of peak performance, and some of the attributes that define peak performers.  Today I want to continue that discussion.
Remember, peak performers are those individuals who have developed and leveraged their skill sets in order to achieve the maximum potential results in their area of expertise.   Peak performers are found in all socio-economic classes, all over the world.  Neither race, nor gender, nor sexual orientation is a barrier to peak performance.
You might also remember from my last post that I firmly believe that peak performers are not … (2 comments)
