In today’s show, Steve interviews Colleen Harlan, real estate agent, Keller Williams. Colleen was with YEAA from 2014 – 2016. In her rookie year at YEAA, Colleen managed to break the all-time sales record as she notched up sales of $190,000.

So, how did Colleen manage this incredible feat?

We start this show with Colleen sharing an interesting backstory. Growing up in Minnesota in a close-knit and humble family, Colleen first heard about YEAA in her first year as a student at the University of Wisconsin.

Colleen reveals that she was immediately excited at the opportunity to do business without taking on any risk. Moreover, with no good internship alternatives to consider, signing up for the YEAA internship seemed like an attractive proposition.

But, notwithstanding these advantages, did Colleen have any concerns? 

Colleen shares that she had some (misguided) qualms about venturing into a predominantly male field. 

In the next segment of the show, Colleen goes on to reveal how she managed her record-breaking feat. Colleen went on to execute 73 different projects over the summer - the average project value being around $2,000. 

In this part of the show, Colleen shares how good people skills, the fortitude to deal with life and business events, and the support of other rookie managers helped her along the way.

In the last segment of the show, Colleen reveals some interesting details about her current work as a real estate agent with Keller Williams. She shares how the YEAA experience helps her hone her entrepreneurial skills and gave her the confidence to work as a real estate agent. She wraps up this show by sharing her ambitious future blueprint.

We hope you enjoy listening to this show!
