02: Women Can Be Real Estate Power Players Too with Anne Feste

Today's great, go-getter guest is Anne Feste, a mom of two grown children, who has been practicing Real Estate for eighteen years... and she's Carla's best friend.   Anne grew up in rural Washington in a town that was known for fishing and lumber. Her biggest issue, while growing up, was being told that women could only be teachers, nurses or housewives- with the ultimate goal being to marry someone and have him be successful. This looked like a losing game to Anne, so she became fierce about learning how to be independent and how to make her own way in life. She found Real Estate to be a great means for creating that. Listen in today and find out more about what gets Anne going.   On today's show, Anne talks to Carla about:   What brought her to Real Estate. Why she would recommend seeing a Career Counsellor. Her game-changing experience after finishing Real Estate School. How her one-page business plan became a game changer. Her story about why the bank took her out to lunch in 2000. The sale in her first year that she countered back fifteen times, before closing. The house with an outline of a body on the floor... Her biggest challenge in the Real Estate business. Where she gathers her strength when the going gets tough. Her advice to a younger version of herself, starting out in Real Estate. The best advice that she's been given. Why you need to measure your dollar all the time. Why you shouldn't cheat your life for wishy-washy clients.   Recommended by Anne: Tim Ferris's Podcasts                                     The Making Of Oprah by NPR (Podcast)
