Chances are you have worn a lot of hats over the years and had a lot of different jobs before you came to real estate … and I’d be willing to bet that there is a lot of experience there that helped to prepare you for your current career. In today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I’m sharing some of the things that make up my resume, and how they have supported my role in real estate. I’ve been a Project Manager for Clinical Trials, a Bank Teller, and EMT-Shock Trauma Technician, even worked at a daycare center. It was fun to look back and talk through each of those roles and experiences in this episode. Thank you to Inner Circle Member Kris Norwine for the suggestion!

At the beginning of my career, I couldn’t learn enough.
Then around maybe year 2-3, I found myself feeling too busy to get better. I could write a killer contract, won the majority of the listing appointments I went on and was closing 40-50 transactions per year … so what else could I possibly need to know?
See I thought training meant basics that I already knew.
I also thought I didn’t have time to learn anything new.
How wrong I was. It was only when I was introduced to higher quality, higher value training (initially through Brian Buffini’s courses!) that my eyes were opened … and my business too off for the better.
On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I’ll be sharing my favorite ways to learn (it doesn’t mean just sitting in a classroom or traveling to an event!) as well the tactical ways I find time to learn every single day.

There is such a push and so much pressure in our industry for numbers … Achieving a certain amount of sales, calling a certain number of people, closing a certain number of deals each year. Yes, all of these metrics are important, but what I think many of us forget is that this is a people business. We are serving other people, other human beings with a significant moment in their lives. My guest for today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast recognizes that perhaps more than anyone I know, and as a result has built a real estate business that meets all those metrics, and then some. As a brand new real estate agent Aaron Nichols closed $10M in sales volume in his first 10 months … not only a feat that is a challenge for most seasoned agents, but practically unheard of for a newbie. Listen in to our conversation as he shares his intentional efforts to serve and grow. I just know that you will walk away from this episode feeling not only inspired, but with a lot of actionable content as well.

How has your last week been? Think about the feelings you’ve had, the frustrations in your business. Picture what your bank account looks like.
Do you want to repeat this week again next week? Next month? How about 5 years from now?
Chances are, the answer is that you don’t, but if you aren’t taking steps now for 2029 you, that is exactly what you will be doing … only you will be doing it while you are 5 years older, 5 years tireder, 5 years sadder.
On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I’m talking about the power of compound interest, a lesson I learned my very first year in college a very, very long time ago.
What do you want your life to look like 5 years from now, and what are you doing to get there?

Picture this … it’s a Tuesday afternoon. You’ve spent all weekend showing homes to buyers and sitting at open houses, and most of your evenings this week are full of showings or listing appointments.
So you take a couple hours to go get your hair done, or to run personal errands, or just to sit by the pool … and you feel guilty about it.
Does that resonate with you? It always has for me and for many women that I talk to.
On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I’m talking about so many of the areas where we feel guilty in our business (including what I personally have felt guilty about), why that is and what we can do about it.

Have you ever been on vacation and dreamed of what it would be like to own a home there? Or maybe live there year round? Or maybe even sell real estate there? My guest on todays episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast has done all three! In this episode I am interviewing Sonja Bush, a real estate broker in Mammoth Lakes, California. The overwhelming majority of the business they do there is primarily servicing second home buyers (who then sometimes become sellers), and she has some outstanding insights for anyone who serves a second home market too. I love how much of her advice is pertinent for any agents who work with investors as well. You can tune in to today’s episode on your favorite podcast app, or by clicking the link below. If you serve a second home market, where are you located?

It’s been over a year and a half since I made the move with my real estate team to Real, and I can honestly say it was the best move we’ve ever made. It’s been quite a while since I’ve done an update episode for you, and on today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I’m breaking down two primary things …
1) Real, by the numbers. Specifically, our numbers. Like actual numbers with dollar signs attached, shared.
2) Real from a Team Leader's perspective. If you are a team leader feeling the weight more than usual these days, this is going to be a must listen.

For the entirety of my career I’ve spent a significant part of my time teaching, training and mentoring agents. Sometimes for pay, a lot of the time for free.
I’ve never believed in holding your best ideas close to the vest. Sharing and giving them freely is where it’s at. For me, anyway.
This month we are celebrating two things … my birthday and the 5th anniversary of our Empowering Women in Real Estate® Inner Circle program, and so I’m giving opportunities all month long to “steal my strategy” for free. For years I did a coffee giveaway on my birthday, but this year I thought we would do something different.
Every day this month I am giving away something … conference replays, postcard templates, pop by tags, full digital courses. Basically all the things.
Only it’s not all the things. It’s just a taste of all that is available in our Inner Circle, which you can join with special birthday pricing too.
