• The journey is worth it
• Making a list of excuses to find your "why"
• Countering the excuse of busyness
• Psychological elements of exercise

Key Takeaways:

• There's nothing more worth the journey than making the commitment to health and wellness.
• Make a list of excuses for why you haven't committed to a healthy lifestyle until you come up with a "because" or a "why" you should be healthy. When you find your "why", you'll figure out how to eliminate those excuses.
• Everybody's busy. If you think that you are too busy to take care of yourself then that is the first and foremost reason why you should start taking care of yourself. Give yourself 30 minutes a day.
• Exercise is a really good tool for us to utilize not only to create more health physically but also emotionally. However, don't exercise to death, always remember to live a balanced life and don't push anything to the extremes.

"If you wanna get healthy, you have to ask yourself why. It's pretty easy being unhealthy. You go to bed feeling like crap, you wake up feeling like crap… what is it that's driving you to live this miserable life?" — Barb Michniak

In this episode, Cheryl and John discuss:

• How skipping diligence leaves all sides open for harm
• Giving a buyer an opportunity to discover any issues
• Helping consumers make informed decisions
• Marketing your property accurately

Key Takeaways:

• Skipping due diligence leaves all sides open for harm. Theres a possibility for sellers and brokers to be liable for misrepresentation while a buyer may encounter problems too late and will suffer for it.
• Better to give the buyer an opportunity to discover any issues about the property and still want to continue rather than ran through the transaction as quickly as possible and discover problems later on.
• Never let a consumer sign a contract without making sure that they understand exactly what they are signing. The best way to give value to a client is to educate them throughout the whole process
• Market your property accurately and make sure that every area is viable and purchase-worthy.

In this episode, Cheryl and Connie discuss:

• Purpose changes everything
• Staying true to your purpose
• Creating momentum towards success
• Sharing your message effectively

Key Takeaways:

• Purpose changes everything. That's why you need to start with "why" and strive to always stay in your zone of genius in order to truly live a fulfilled life.
• Staying true to your purpose brings a feeling of peace - a knowledge that you are where you are exactly supposed to be. Avoid the "blingy" things that distract you from your purpose.
• Keep facing your fears, get it in the doing, and take the next right steps. That will lead from one thing to the other, creating momentum towards your success.
• In order to effectively share your message, you need to speak it, write it, and share it effectively in social media.

"Purpose changes everything… Once you feel called, you're gonna do whatever it takes, you're going to scale the mountain… you're gonna learn the things that you don't even want to learn because you know this is what you want to do." — Connie Sokol

• Doing habit stacking
• Making it a party
• Delegating tasks
• Better than perfect

Key Takeaways:

• Practice habit stacking. Pair activities that you like with activities that you don't like and do them together.
• When you call anything you don't like a party, for some reason it totally changes everything.
• Things that deplete your energy must be delegated. Ask someone else for help, someone who's better at it than you are.
• Done is better than perfect. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing poorly. That means that if something is truly worth doing, then it's okay if you don't do it perfectly just as long as you actually get it done.

• Empowered through awareness
• Writing your feelings freely
• Bringing awareness to unconscious feelings
• Being there for yourself

• Awareness gives you power to conquer limiting beliefs. When you're unaware of those beliefs, they'll be sitting in the back of your mind, subtly controlling your life.
• Sit yourself comfortably and allow yourself to write whatever you feel or whatever you're thinking. When you're done writing freely, shred the paper and take a few deep breaths.
• Whatever needs to come up will come up. There are some things that you won't be aware of initially, not until you start writing them down.
• If you're feeling stuck, remember that giving a voice to your feelings is going to help you tremendously. Be there for yourself, breathe in and let that part of you shine. You won't implode or die like you think you would. You will feel relief.

In this episode, Cheryl and Eric discuss:

• Leadership and culture-fitness
• Double-downing on hiring mistakes
• Going to our strengths, hiring for our weaknesses
• The key to building relationships quicker

Key Takeaways:

• Make sure that the right people are on the right seats and that you are picking culture-fit people in your team.
• When hiring, sometimes you'll make mistakes. Don't double-down on these mistakes, it's for the betterment of the organization and that individual if you part ways peacefully and quickly.
• We become successful by capitalizing off of our strengths, not by overcoming our weaknesses. Hire according to your weaknesses, let people who can do that job fill that role.
• The more vulnerable you are, the more quickly you'll be able to build relationships and trust with other people.

In this episode, Cheryl and Craig Grant discuss:

• Opening up your world with smartphones
• Building and maintaining relationships
• Why you need Canva
• Posting on social media

Key Takeaways:

• First thing's first, get a good, top-tier smartphone. It'll open up your world to apps and accessories that will be very useful to you. If you're going to save money, don't do it on your phone. Second, research and compare different CRM apps.
• It's always about the relationships. You must continue to build and maintain relationships even after the point of sale.
• Canva makes graphic design easy. If you don't see the need for you to do graphic design in your business, then you're clearly missing out. Making your own free marketing material is the best way to move forward with your business.
• Get on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, sign up for an account, download the apps and connect with people you know. Observe the websites, see what works and what kind of content people like and post consistently with relevant ideas.

In this episode, Cheryl and Beverly discuss:

• Cultivating a love for learning
• Letting your "freak flag" fly
• Stop pleasing everybody
• Creating referral partnerships

Key Takeaways:

• Things are always changing, that's why it's important to cultivate a love for learning. Always seek new lessons and fresh ideas and apply your learnings to your business. Do the things that not many people do.
• Embrace your full identity, let your freak flag fly! Don't cover up who you truly are, but show it, display it, make it known to those around you and those who do business with. It is what will set you apart.
• Not everyone's going to like you and that's just fine. You're not supposed to be out there pleasing everybody because that's impossible. Identifying who you serve is the first step into attracting your kind of people.
• Create and maintain partnerships that allow you to send business someone's way and also be given referrals as well.If you're not doing this right now, then you're missing out on so much!

"I had two choices: I could wear long sleeves and pants and cover myself up or I could let my freak flag fly… from that day forward, I said I'm never gonna cover up who I am and in fact, I'm gonna put who I am right out there so everybody could see it." — Beverly Whipple

In this episode, Cheryl and Kathy discuss:

• Taking action when times are tough
• Dare to dream big
• Living what you talk about
• Investing in the next generation

Key Takeaways:

• When times are tough, take action. When you don't think you can do it, figure out what to do and work at it to the best of your ability.
• Dare to dream big. Imagine yourself in the place where you want to be, imagine how it would feel like to be there - see yourself in that place.
• Make sure that you've lived what you're talking about. Do your homework, show up on time, and help others achieve their goals. Recognize that it's not just about you, it's about serving others.

In this episode, Cheryl and Coni discuss:

• Gift and opportunity in every situation
• Planning for the unexpected
• Preparing gradually
• Preparedness procrastination

Key Takeaways:

• There is always a gift or opportunity in every situation. Remembering that is the key to being resilient.
• Planning ahead for the unexpected and remaining resilient in the face of disaster is essential for surviving and thriving in our current times.
• Set aside time once a week to stock up on emergency supplies, or to do emergency planning. Do it gradually if you can't find time to do it in one day.
• It doesn't feel good to think about preparation because it forces you to imagine disasters and put yourself in that scenario - it causes others to procrastinate getting prepared. For your sake and that of the ones you love, start preparing.
