Picture this: you’ve got an incredible database of people who know, like, and trust you—but you’re not tapping into it the way you should. That’s where the 36 Touch Plan comes in. In today’s episode, we’re diving into the foundation of building a business that thrives year after year: consistently nurturing your database.

We’ll share how implementing this simple (but not always easy!) system completely transformed our businesses—from 75 transactions a year to crossing into million-dollar revenue territory. You’ll learn why organizing your database is the first non-negotiable step, how to identify your “Mets,” and what it looks like to tier your contacts so you can focus on your top referrers.

Your homework? Get your database in one place and ready to go. Because next week, we’re unpacking part two: the messaging that actually converts.

Money makes a lot of people squirm—but avoiding it is exactly what keeps us stuck. In this episode, we get honest about the six things that stop us from building wealth: ignoring our real numbers (especially debt), not tracking where money actually goes, letting fear or “I don’t know how” stall action, staying off-track when life happens, letting emotions drive investing decisions, and believing wealth requires only big, flashy moves instead of consistent small ones. We also share the “bonus” that changes everything: accountability. Shoutout to our Empire Circle community—and Deb Pierce, who leads our Net Worth Club—for creating a safe space to talk money, learn faster, and take action.

Your homework: open your calendar and block 30 minutes a week for money moves. In Part 2, we’ll give you 20+ bite-sized actions you can plug into those sessions to save, make, and grow your money—practical steps you’ll actually use. We’re building big businesses and even bigger lives, one honest look and one small move at a time.

Permission is a loaded word—especially for high-achieving women. In this conversation, we get honest about the invisible expectations we carry at home and at work, and how guilt and shame show up when we try to do it all. We talk about naming those expectations (“Who said you have to do it—and that way?”), asking for help without apology, and defining success by season. Sometimes winning is crushing it at work with leverage at home; sometimes it’s rearranging hours to be present with your people. Either way, we get to choose what success looks like and model that choice for our families.

We also share practical shifts that created joy: letting kids own age-appropriate tasks, reframing “shoulds” like school drop-offs into connection time, and building a circle of support to remind us what we can say “no” to. If this resonates, share it with a woman who needs permission to redefine success on her own terms—and if you’re craving that kind of community and coaching, we’d love to connect about Empire Circle.

Today’s buyers are cautious and well-informed, which means our role is to lead with clarity from the start. In this episode, we share practical ways to set expectations before a showing—doing the homework with the listing agent, previewing the neighborhood, and arriving prepared with disclosures, comps, and HOA info so clients can validate what they’ve already researched.

During showings, we keep it simple: use ranking systems like A/B/C or 1–10, give buyers permission to walk out of a “C,” and build trust by pointing out both wins and potential resale red flags. We also protect negotiations by saving strategy talk for the car (those doorbell cameras are everywhere), keep momentum by scheduling the next step, and close with confidence so clients feel great about their decision.

Today’s buyers aren’t rushing, feeling FOMO, or scrambling to beat the market—they’re facing more options, more uncertainty, and more hesitation than we’ve seen in years. Decision fatigue, interest rate weariness, and information overload are shaping how they think and act, and if you’re still treating them like the buyers of 2020, you’re already behind.

In this episode, we break down today’s buyer mindset and share the questions that build trust, uncover true priorities, and move clients from hesitation to clarity, without feeling pushy. We also cover the surprises that can derail motivation and how to set expectations early so you can lead the process instead of following it.

Picture this: you cross six figures in revenue…and take home two grand. Ouch. In this week’s conversation with business money coach Belinda Rosenblum of Own Your Money, we dig into the difference between having a business and actually owning it—especially your profit. Belinda shares how she went from barely breaking even to hitting a 40% margin in just one year, and the mindset shift that made it possible: stop chasing topline revenue and start planning for profit.

We talk about how to take control of your money story, create simple systems, and build a strategy that allows you to pay yourself on purpose. Belinda also shares how to manage inconsistent income without panic and why real profit isn’t an accident—it’s a plan.

If you’re ready to own your money, this one’s for you.

Back-to-school mornings don’t have to feel like chaos. In this episode, we share seven practical strategies to help families win the morning and the day. From carving out “you time” before the kids wake up, to prepping the night (and week) before, we’ve found simple routines that cut down on stress. Visual checklists keep kids on track, breakfast becomes grab-and-go, and a launch zone near the door means no more scrambling for backpacks and shoes. We also talk about car kits for those last-minute saves, and how outsourcing or automating small tasks frees up space for connection.
