When is the last time you celebrated … YOU?!!   That's a hard one, right? You don't want to come across "brag-y".

When you hear the term "coaching", what comes to mind?   For many of us it means a person or program that you pay to "coach" you up in an area of your life or business.   What I've come to learn that is that we all need and use coaching, and it comes from many different places … and the majority of those are free or low cost!!   Listen in to today's episode to hear about my favorite ways that I ha...

You know what they say …   The fortune is in the follow up.   If you don't follow up, someone else will.   If you don't follow up with them, they won't follow through with you.   And in this case, they are all right.   Your ability to follow up consistently and persistently will make the difference between a successful real estate career, and none at all.   On today's episode of Empowering Women i...

One of the things that is so great about our real estate businesses is that there is literally no ceiling. How much you earn is directly related to the investment that you are willing to make in your business in time, effort and money.   The not so great thing though is that there is no floor. No work, no pay. Sometimes (lots of times) even there is lots of work and still no pay.   I see plenty of...

I love the fresh, clean start of a new year. I want to hit the ground running and leave the old year behind. In order to do that, there are some things I need to do in my business toward the end of December.   I organize folders on my computer for everything in my business. I de-clutter my desk and office. I order any office supplies I know I'll need like paper, ink, gift cards, note cards, return...

Every year I create a vision board. Honestly, it's been so rewarding to see my life more toward the goals I set, and it's a fantastic way to get inspired. I keep it really simple. I set up a private board on Pinterest. I use an app called Project Life and I browse and pin all of the images that really resonate with me. I always include a photo of my family and my word for the year.   Find me on In...
