When I talk about “showing up” I am referring to being present in your business and really giving it your all. “Showing Up” means picking up the phone when you would rather send an email or doing an open house and connecting with people when you would rather be hiding in your office organizing your […]
Every year, real estate agents look to the past year for clues about what worked well for them and what they could do better. It is a time of revitalization and slate is wiped clean of the previous year’s wins and losses. It is a time to start fresh and begin doing all the things […]

If you have done your business planning for 2014, you should have developed a list of tasks that you want to accomplish – both the ongoing tasks in your business (such as following up with your database each and every month, perhaps open houses twice a month, checking the MLS every day) and the one-time […]

There were a number of highlights on my trip, including speaking to the Women’s Council of REALTORS® on the power of Memorable Marketing. Additionally, I got to know a number of fantastic agents who visited my booth to […]

There are agents who are all about the relationship and agents who are all about the task at hand. Is one area of focus better than the other? This is a discussion that has provided debate over the years. You’ve likely heard the expression “he/she can sell ice to Eskimos” — implying that the individual […]
