Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast with Karen Cooper

There is more than one way to be successful in real estate.   The traditional path that has been laid out for all of us … on a team, solo agent, team leader or broker … isn’t the only way. I am living proof of that having been or currently having a multitude of creative roles in the industry.   On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I have two things for you …   First, a quick recap of Reinvention Roadmap, the 4th Annual Empowering Women in Real Estate® Conference. This year’s even was truly our best, and my absolute favorite.    Second, I’m sharing with you a behind the scenes recording of my conference keynote presentation, Consistent Real Estate Success: Strategies for Every Stage. In this presentation I talk through the evolution of my real estate career, as well as the strategies that have helped me to be consistently successful at each stage. From new agent, to established agent, to starting over, to referral agent.    Listen in on your favorite podcast app, or by clicking the link below!

No matter how long you have been in the real estate industry, chances are you have had to get creative a time or two.   Whether it is getting creative to get a deal done, seeking out creative options with lenders or vendors to serve your clients, or just getting creative in your marketing or how you go about finding clients.   What I think a lot of us are not creative in doing is in how we run our businesses. There are far more options and choices available to us than I think we realize. If I haven’t had the opportunity to experience some of these myself, I’d have no idea.   Running a successful real estate business isn’t just based on selling houses. There’s property management, investing, flipping, the creator economy (getting paid to teach/share what you know), and so much more.   Recently I had the opportunity to speak on a panel at D3, the annual conference for my local association, the Dulles Area Association of Realtors. On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I am sharing my thoughts as well as the recording of that presentation.   You can listen in on your favorite podcast app or by clicking the link below.

How do you know when to quit something?   Whether it is your real estate career (spending more than you are making) or something else, I think we all hit this crossroads at one point or another in our lives.   Maybe it’s not that you need to quit something, maybe you are just finished. As in, you have finished what you started. You have reached completion on whatever it is. I think that is a beautiful way to look at it.   Whatever the case may be for you, or whatever you are debating right now, I think you will find today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast to be helpful.   You can listen in on your favorite podcast app, or by clicking the link below.

Take a deep breath for a second …   Are you feeling overwhelmed? Feel like you are letting people down? Feel like you are being pulled in a thousand different directions? Are you trying so hard to be all things to all people, but you end up feeling like you are failing left, right and center instead?   This episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast is for you. And me. Part pep talk, part therapy session.   Protecting your peace means getting clear on your priorities and what is most important to you, then applying boundaries and “fulfillment overlap” where you can.   I’m sharing it all in today’s episode.

There is power in routines, habits and consistency …   But that power isn’t just limited to your real estate business.   Inspired by a recent exchange with my team, on today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I’m sharing my Daily Business Builders™  … for Your Life!   Daily Business Builders™  is my kindler, gentler version of prospecting. Part of what makes them work is that they are so easily to do consistently, brining you consistent results.   You can flip those and make them things to benefit your personal life as well! If you love a good “life hack”, this episode is for you!   Listen in on your favorite podcast app, or by clicking the link below.

When is the last time you took a long, hard look at your database?   Who’s in it? Do they deserve to be?   Whose missing?   What contact information is incomplete, needs updating, or is missing all together?   This is the PERFECT time of year to do a Database Refresh. I do these at least twice per year in my business, and it helps to keep my marketing spend in check, while also boosting my opportunities.   On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I’m walking you through my process so you can complete your own Database Refresh!   You can listen in on your favorite podcast app or by clicking the link below.

One of the most frequent questions I get is about my Daily Business Builders™ . My kinder, gentler form of prospecting.   Why?   Because we tend to overthink prospecting. How hard it should be. How long we should do it for. What it actually is.   Also, because prospecting is critical to our real estate businesses. No prospecting, no business. It’s as simple as that.   On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I’m sharing all the details about my Daily Business Builders™  and how you can put them to work in your business.    You can listen in on your favorite podcast app or by clicking the link below.

When is the last time that you checked in with your goals?   Remember those? Those things you set with excitement way back in January, or even at the end of last year.   One of the best things I have ever done for my life and my business was to do consistent reviews each quarter. Reviewing my life, my business, my goals, my progress.   On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I’m talking through my 3rd Quarter Review process.   There are some questions I really want you to ask yourself about your life and your business, and I hope you will listen.    Fourth quarter is just starting. 3 months is a LONG TIME. You can make a lot happen. Even if you aren’t on track for those goals you set … or maybe the just don’t resonate with you anymore, there are things you can do right now to get momentum happening before the end of the year.   You’ll hear them all in this episode.

Chances are you have worn a lot of hats over the years and had a lot of different jobs before you came to real estate … and I’d be willing to bet that there is a lot of experience there that helped to prepare you for your current career.   In today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I’m sharing some of the things that make up my resume, and how they have supported my role in real estate.   I’ve been a Project Manager for Clinical Trials, a Bank Teller, and EMT-Shock Trauma Technician, even worked at a daycare center. It was fun to look back and talk through each of those roles and experiences in this episode.   Thank you to Inner Circle Member Kris Norwine for the suggestion!   You can listen in on your favorite podcast app or by clicking the link below.   What are some of your jobs before real estate?
