There are only so many hours in a day, days in a week, and weeks in a month. Time is the one thing that we can’t buy more of. We are the only ones who are in complete control of our time. It can’t be stored up for a rainy day. Everybody has to live […]
Forgive me, I am feeling a little spicy today so this article is a little more blunt and to the point than usual! I have talked with a lot of stressed out agents this week who are doing too much themselves and not taking advantage of opportunities to leverage their time. If that sounds like […]
What are you waiting for? TIME your greatest gift or the worst enemy you have in your business. Time is the ONLY thing we cannot buy more of. We treasure it, we long for more of it, we waste it and we battle it. The older we get the more aware we are of how […]
Are you feeling lethargic? Pulled in too many directions? Are you unable to complete the tasks you used to handle easily? Feeling weighed down and uninspired? Lacking energy and focus? If so, it may be time for what I call the distraction diet!

Last week I talked about how important it is to truly being able to calculate how much money an agent makes per hour by dividing their gross commission income by total number of hours worked in a given year. For example, if you make $100,000 gross commission and you work 40 hours per week for […]
When I think about how many hours most people work per week, I think you would agree that 40 hours is what most people would guess to be the average hours that most people work in a typical business setting. When I think about real estate agents, I think you would also agree that most […]
With builders back in the market, they are calling upon agents to sit at model homes waiting to tour prospective buyers. This article isn’t going to tout the benefits or the cautions about making this commitment (as I certainly do not recommend this for everyone), but instead I am addressing how to make the best […]
Q: “Denise, 2016 seemed like a blur! I felt like I was being pulled in all directions by buyers and sellers and I never found the time to implement some of the systems that I need. For example, I have been in the industry for nine years, but still don’t have a system for taking […]
