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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
