Dominating Real Estate

Becoming a Business Owner is hard work. It is not easy to walk away from a steady paycheck, from benefits like Paid Time Off or Health Insurance or even a 401K. You get to own your future - Good or Bad, Up or Down. It's all yours and many times feels like there is no Off switch. How does one manage all of that?!

Join your host, Courtney Gettings as she sits down with Business Owner Barry Ballard of Ballard & Son Construction. Barry has been a business owner for 10+ years and has found his niche with Egress Windows. He's a dad, a husband; he does it all. We may be in different industries but if you were to sit down and talk basic business ownership with a fellow business owner.. the struggle is real and we will dive into how to overcome some of that struggle.

Learn how Barry juggles it all - including Delegating, Branding and Marketing, when to know it's time to turn it Off and above all, to be honest with clients. Now grab that coffee or glass of wine and something to write with. Lets dive in!

Hello friends! Did you miss me as much as I missed you? What a year it has been! I am so excited to get back in the swing of things and get you the content you are looking for for all things Dominating Real Estate. 
Since the last episode, we welcomed a 3rd baby, Rylee June in October 2021. My full time Executive Assistant Jackie Sorensen has been with us since ten days before Rylee joined us and on todays episode we feature Jackie! Jackie has been a huge part of the last year being the glue to my Real Estate team, Gettings Home Team and even held down the fort for my most recent team - the Hervieux From Heaven Fundraising team together.

On the LLS Man & Woman of the Year Campaign:
From March 28 - June 2, 2022 I led a 10 week Fundraising team for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society (LLS) called Man & Woman of the Year Campaign. It is a 10 week sprint to raise as much money as possible for Blood Cancer Research. This organization has a special place in my family's heart. In October 2014 my late mother in law passed away from Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. My goal was to raise $50,000 and have the opportunity to name a grant in her honor - something I wanted our 3 little ones and my husband to be proud of.

Come join in my conversation with Jackie on how we successfully raised $61,154 in just 10 weeks and are in the process of naming a Children grant! To top it off, I WON Woman of the year!

I know it's easy to overlook a simple Thank You or to not take a pause and look at how far we have come. I wanted to make sure I did not do that here with Dominating Real Estate! When starting my Real Estate career, I did my best to celebrate the little wins because they ultimately become the Big Wins. I'm here to say Thank You and to even give a little sneak peek into what is happening behind the scenes! Hint: We're growing in more ways than one.
