Labor Day is over…which means Fall is around the corner, and that means I’m all about the return of Starbucks pumpkin spiced lattes!!! ♨️☕

Did you just envision all that yumminess with a little dab of whipped cream too? If so, you're MY KINDA GAL and If you text me the word “pumpkin” to 678-736-8055  -- > becauuuse I am known for running little contests and chats with my texting community, there's no better time than Pumpkin Spiced Latte time to do one in honor of it's return. 

I'm drawing the names of 4 people in the first 100 who text me and sending them a Starbucks gift card!  You’ll also get ongoing fun business tips and early access to other contents and more.

It really is the little things in life but I digress…

In the show today I’m  wrapping up my  series on ‘Nailing Your Niche’ with a convo about the brilliance of Starbucks marketing,  messaging and promotions and how that applies to YOU. (Don't miss all the juicy info I shared in this series here in Ep. 56 & 57 & 58 )   

Starbucks has it allll dialed in; who their market is, when and where to launch limited products yearly, how to build excitement and loyalty and so much more.

So, listen-up Ladies → Real Estate is no different!!!

Get creative, plan ahead, create an experience for people in your niche throughout the year. 

Here’s the ‘Real Estate Latte’ recipe:

Your ICA (ideal client avatar) + Niche you serve (i.e. Divorce, First-time buyers, Luxury etc.) +
creating promotions and events around the things/topics that your niche peeps love, care about and enjoy the most.

For example, say your niche is teachers, maybe you organize a local fundraising event in May or June to collect school supplies for the next school year…just one possibility of many.

PLUS, on the topic of Lattes → I’m also sharing my personal secret sauce on today’s that helped me build a $56 million Real Estate business. It’s the 3 C’s and you’re going to have to listen to today’s episode to find out what they are, how they work and why they work to build relationships and expand your brand.

Finally, you don’t want to miss me playing a little snippet from an IG Reel I’m OBSESSED with about the arrival of Pumpkin Spice lattes by the The Holderness Family, OMG so good!

Enjoy and let me know what you think in the reviews:

Remember back in Episode 56 when I brought up Divorce as a niche and you thought to yourself "Nobody actually does that!"  (don't deny it...you totally did!)  Well To conclude this niche series I brought in a special Realtor friend, Liz Brown to share how she works in the Divorce Niche.

Liz is an active member in the Real Boss Women community, and loves to give back and mentor others.  She's an award-winning and top-producing real estate expert specializing in personalized, boutique service across the Triangle.  As the owner and broker in charge, her ambition is to create and cultivate relationships and partnerships with clients that stand the test of time. Whether it is your real estate needs, a restaurant recommendation, or professional advice, Liz is here to assist you as a long-term resource.

I loved it when she said one of the main things to remember is that your clients are emotionally charged, and it's a situation where you have to be the thermostat, not the thermometer.  It's up to you to set the temp of the process, and keep it nice and cool. 

Here's a sneak peak into the episode:

I'm finishing up my series on selecting a niche for your Real Estate Career, and today it's all about the lifestyle niche.  We started back in EP 55 chatting about great niches for new agents, and then moved to EP 56 that's more for the trendy, experienced agent and now I'll hop into a niche that you boojee go-getters will adore.  

I call it the lifestyle niche and define it in 2 ways:

In this episode I help you uncover the fun ways you can look at where you live and develop your niche around areas that not be available everywhere else in the country. 

And then I'll show you some examples of the totally unexpected niche a few of my students curated for themselves just based off of what they are passionate about in everyday life.

Finally I'll end the episode by handing you the blueprint of questions I always ask when considering how to move forward in a niche strategy.  This is a small but mighty packed episode and I promise you'll want to jump back to episode 55 and start the entire series over again when you finish.  You may find that you listen to it with a totally different mindset this time around!

And if you've been hiding under a rock for a few weeks and haven't taken the quiz yet to start uncovering the right niche for you then honey.  It's time.

If you've ever met me in person, you quickly realize that I'm not a high "I" on the DISC profile.  In fact, most of the time my high "D" enters the room well before I do.  Perhaps that's the reason I excelled in a niche that I'm not even a part of.  Happily married for almost 20 years here, but boy could my team and I work the Divorce field like true champs.  

The key to this niche is remembering that neutrality isn't just for Switzerland.  It's for agents who work with divorcing clients.  That, and maintaining a cool and level head while things get crazy and clients get a little wack-a-doodle in their thinking.  

This niche tends to lean toward the more experience agents, or like I was...the team agents.  So if you're a newer agent you may want to go back to episode 55 where I dive into the New Home Buyer and Mom Of Toddler niche. 

If you want a shortcut to your niche then these are the next steps:

1-TEXT the word 'NicheQuiz' to 678-968-7740. 

2-RIGHT NOW - hit the subscribe button on your podcast player so that when next week's episode drops you’ll have it loaded up and ready to go.  On Tuesday I’m diving into a few other niches I love in Real Estate and think you will too.

It's time to Niche, B**ch!  (Noooow say that in a Brittney Spears voice and laugh out loud with me)

All joking aside, this week I'm kicking off a 6-part series on all things Real Estate Niches: What are they are, how to choose yours, what to do with them once you do and much more.  Today is Part1 focusing on first time homebuyers and mom's of toddlers niches.

If I'm being totes honest, this series is going to be super fun for me, even more than the referral series I just wrapped up in July (if you haven't already check those episodes out here)

Why? Well, one of my favorite things to do in business is to really solidify a brand so that when I market and work with it, I’m the expert (YOU will be the expert after this series).  If you’re a Realtor I can guarantee you’re asking yourself right now “why would I niche?  I want to work with ALL buyers and sellers!” Am I right? 

So grab a glass of prosecco 🍾 with me and let’s dive into a series I’ve created just for you and it’s all about niches.  Today’s episode in particular I’m getting candid on 2 of the best ones for new agents and high “I” on the DISC profile = those First Time Homebuyers, and moms of young toddlers

And, TRUST me please; by niching down in Real Estate you become less of a Jacqueline of all trades, master of none, but instead, you'll make yourself a true SME (subject matter expert) in your chosen niche. PLUS, the more you work in a niche the better you become at honing all the various aspects of your business that you’ll need.  Your knowledge gets better, your social media becomes targeted, your referral systems are refined, and heck even your contract to close process becomes buttoned up. 

If I'm speaking your language BUT you're still not sure what niche would best fit YOUR personality type as a Realtor -- well you're in luck. I created a niche type quiz specifically for Real Estate agents (aka YOU). It will discover your type, give recommendations  on  who to work with, AND it curates a list of podcast episodes you need to dive into to get in the right mindset to go forth and make your niche happen with ease and efficiency.

So, if you want a shortcut to your niche then these are the next steps:

1-TEXT the word 'NicheQuiz' to 678-968-7740. 

2-RIGHT NOW - hit the subscribe button on your podcast player so that when Thursday’s episode drops you’ll have it loaded up and ready to go.  On Thursday I’m diving into a few other niches I love in Real Estate and think you will too. 

3-Please consider leaving a review to help other women find my content here. If you tag me on IG @realbosswomen with a screenshot of your review  then you'll be entered into a monthly contest for a $25 Amazon gift card. 

Until part 2 of the series, cheers for now,

~Joanne

Today we’re going to talk about the myth of the overnight success and debunk it big time.  I know you’ve been as guilty as me at looking at someone else and seeing what you believe are their overnight results.  

Social media really makes this easy to do because you stumble upon someone doing what you're doing, or in the industry you’re in and suddenly you’re inundated with their current picture.  And let’s be honest here-most of the people you’re watching aren’t ones you have immediate access to where you can pour a nice glass of wine, curl up on the couch and start gabbing to pick their brain.  

 What happens next? Likely you tend to believe in that you’re not as good as they are because your journey isn’t taking off as quickly as it 'should' be.  You may even think you’ll never get to where they are because of perceived abilities, skill sets, or environments.(you all know what I mean here).

BUT, that's why I wanted to do a show on this topic - because I don't want you to let mindset get you - based on myths. I want to encourage you to not let yourself go down that path, but instead to pick yourself up and remember that everyone starts somewhere.

The myth that it happens overnight is truly that: a myth, and as one of my friends recently reminded me: Comparison is the thief of joy.  When you spend too much time and energy comparing yourself to someone else, you’ll never enjoy where you are in YOUR journey.  

 I’ll give you practical advice based on my own personal struggles - on how to overcome this myth-mindset trap...listen to the full episode where I will walk you through how you can move past this mindset trap.

As we conclude our series on A Modern Approach To Working By Referrals, I knew I had to bring in a ringer for you to connect with.  After all, my philosophy at the Real Boss Women is Real Life.  Real Fun.  Real Business and one of the things I value the most is connection over competition. 

So of course, I had to grab a quick conversation with Stacey Brown Randall.  Stacey is the referral ninja, known for her podcast Roadmap To Grow Your Business, and the author of "Generating Business Referrals Without Asking"  

Stacey is a keynote speaker at our upcoming Work, Play, Slay event in Nashville this September and if you're craving hearing her in a setting where you can raise your hand and ask questions.  This is it folks. 

I loved this conversation with Stacey because we align so much in our thinking on how to handle referrals, and that what you've always been taught probably isn't what is going to work now.  And I won't lie-her philosophies are going to really leave you shaking your head and rethinking your entire database.

So if you're ready to start your database, or fine tune yours to perfection and need a little kick in the pants to do so, here's a little glimpse into the episode:
