There’s a quote from Chapter 14 of my book Align & Prosper that captures the heart of modern real estate sales: “People don’t want to be sold. They want to be seen, heard, understood, and guided.” This single shift in understanding has the power to transform the way you lead conversations, build trust, and convert […]
There is nothing, and I mean nothing, more important in your business and your life than feeling good. Not the numbers. Not the to-do list. Not the goals you set on January 1st. Because if you don’t feel good inside the business you’re building . . . what are we even doing? Recently, I had […]
You’ve probably heard the saying: “Entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint.” And while there’s truth in that, here’s the real story no one tells you: sometimes, you’ll need to sprint. If you’re in real estate, you know exactly what I mean. The spring and fall markets, juggling multiple offers, back-to-back showings, or wrapping up […]
A client once asked me how she could prove her value to sellers when she was competing for a listing. She wanted to know if she should add more services – extra photos, a drone video, staging, or maybe even (half-jokingly) show up to the open house in a clown suit. Here’s what I told […]
It was an early summer day, and the women attending my Rest and Rise Retreat for Women in Real Estate were gathered on a spacious deck nestled in the lush West Coast forest of Bowen Island. We were there for yoga before starting our summer planning session, ocean in the distance, blackberry bushes climbing the […]
You’ve heard it before: consistency is king. Every productivity guru, every success coach, and yes, even me at one point, has preached the gospel of consistency. Show up. Do the work. Rinse and repeat. And while there’s truth in that, here’s what I’ve learned after coaching hundreds of realtors over the past six years: We […]
“The secret of success is to do the common thing uncommonly well.” – John D. Rockefeller There’s this gnawing frustration that shows up when you feel like you don’t have enough leads. It whispers that you’re behind, that you need to do more, that you’re missing something crucial. And in response, you start throwing things […]
You started this business for freedom. To build a life on your terms. To help people and be well compensated for it. And yet, here you are—overwhelmed, exhausted, and feeling like you’re working endlessly without seeing the results you want. You’re busy, but are you productive? You’re doing enough, but is it the right enough? […]
“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.” – Mark Twain Some people will tell you that confidence in sales isn’t about memorizing scripts—it’s about knowing how to guide any conversation with ease and certainty. They’ll say things like: “Understanding your product, listening […]
I had a dream. Not a Martin Luther King kind of dream. A dream about climbing a mountain in a Jeep with Brené Brown. We were driving up an almost 90-degree incline, the road so steep I couldn’t see what was ahead. The engine groaned, the tires slipped, and gravity threatened to pull us backward. […]
And I had so much shame and stress about it. I had left a 15 year teaching career where I was used to having a regular salary and while I had a phenomenal first year in real estate with 17 transactions, I still ended up with $54,000 debt by the end of the year. And […]
Recently, our friend Jordan took me for a sail on his new boat. He’s only had the boat for a short time and aside from 4 days of sailing school and a few trips before our journey, he didn’t have a lot of experience with sailing yet. Near the end of our afternoon of sailing, […]
I overheard a conversation yesterday where an entrepreneur was justifying his lack of production to his team leader by saying he’d had bad luck for the past year. It’s clear this person has a belief that his success is a matter of chance and he has little control over the outcomes he achieves or doesn’t […]
