It’s another day and as you sit sipping your morning coffee (or tea) you may not realize that much of your day will be run by that “inner voice” that dictates how you see the world. Those experiences of yesterday have a place in our brains that tell a story. The story is based on an experience you had at a given time in a particular situation, and your perception of that experience gets logged into a permanent file in your brain. That thought may be a total misperception but will “rule” how you think, behave, and act … and then catalogue the experience next time a similar situation occurs.
Here’s the thing… Most of the time, that observation can be good or bad, but either way, it becomes the blueprint for your thinking and perception going forward. If you’ve had a good experience, you write a story.…
Do you ever catch yourself thinking (or saying) things like: • It’s not my fault….• The market is so slow right now…• There’s too much inventory right now, no one is buying…• People don’t buy during the holidays….• The economy is shaky—people don’t want to buy….

How can you be sure your messages are really getting heard? Noted business consultant, Michael Hammer, once said, “The number one problem in communications today is the illusion that it has taken place!” You may find that no matter what you do or how you do it, just sending messaging in any format does not guarantee you will actually get through to actually connect. In a “normal” world, people are constantly barraged with multiple interruptions on every level, whether it is their being notified on their phone, an instant message, and even their watch! It’s these constant notifications that fracture not only their time, but steal their attention away from your attempts to communicate. The challenge is: What else can you do to be heard? In this unprecedented time of physical “distancing” there is remarkable creativity that is born from being restricted. It is proving that what we really want,…
There is no doubt we are in unprecedented times. For most of us, this creates a heightened degree of stress and uncertainty. Over a third of the country has been asked to stay home and our once booming economy has come screeching to a halt. When can any of us remember being told by the government not to go to work? While this seems somewhat terrifying, we all know that it is for the greater good of all of us. So here we have it, we are being told to stay home and be still. For many real estate agents, asking them to be still is like asking a shark to stop swimming, it’s just not possible. For many of us, we thrive on busyness and routine, the thought of being still is terrifying. But there is power in being still, power in slowing down, power in reconnecting with ourselves,…

Today’s qualified buyers expect perfection and are willing to pay for it. They will continue their home search until the residential sales process wears them down and/or they reconcile their wants and needs with their budget and availability and pull the trigger. Instant access to designer MLS photos and videos puts sellers in a difficult position from the get-go – the house must be perfectly presented, both visually and physically, or the buyer will quickly look elsewhere, without apology, and head for the door.
If you’re a mom, you understand immediately that most large family initiatives, like moving, will naturally fall to you to research, coordinate and supervise, ensuring that all “i’s” are dotted, and the “t’s” are crossed. Who better, right?
So which one are you? The woman who tends to relentlessly buckle up and do it herself or the type of woman that is comfortable asking and allowing others to help? For women in leadership, delegation is a key skill and a necessary component for a successful career. If you find yourself stressed, overwhelmed, or feel as though your business has taken over your life, then it may be the right time to sharpen those delegation skills. Many of us identify as the first example, and while that may be admired as being self-sufficient and independent with an “I don’t owe anybody anything” kind of strategy (sound Italian to you?), it is not the savviest way to get through life and there are a couple of reasons for that.
