The Power of Social Media Relationships strikes again!

This week I’m joined by my very special friend, Holly Meyer Lucas.

Holly and I met through Social Media and bonded over our love of Baseball (Her husband, and my son, both being in the Professional Baseball World), and when I found out she was also in Real Estate - it was just the icing on the friendship cake!

Holly is not only an incredible, Award-Winning Real Estate Leader out of Jupiter, Florida - but she’s an inspiring advocate for Women everywhere, who are choosing to step into the Real Estate Industry from their previous career trajectories.

Today we’re diving into the nitty gritty of what separates the “Good” Agents, from the “GREAT” Agents - and how YOU too can become the powerful, leading Agent in your market.

From the habits of “Great” Agents, to the mindsets, schedules, strategies and resources it takes to become one… Nothing is left out of our conversation.

So get ready to get GREAT - Let’s jump in!

I'm sitting down with special guest, Timothy Reeder, from Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate and Old Omaha Vintage Real Estate - and we're diving into the nitty gritty of how to Niche your Real Estate Business down.

Timothy has been a Real Estate Agent for 25 years, and after renovating a condemned victorian home with his husband, and restoring it into an award winning historic home, Timothy found his true passion in Old Homes.

He has since niched down his business, and specializes in helping his clients market old and historic homes. Following his passion has lead to him building the Omaha History website, growing into a podcast as well as Estate and Business/Vendor showcase series. It has also led him to creating a team focused on Relationship marketing - which then turned into one of the top three Brokerages in their city.

Timothy is now sharing his story with other Agents, teaching them how to Niche their business down - while finding their own passions in life and business and how to turn that into sales.

So join me as I sit down with the incredible Timothy Reeder - and get ready to write, because you won't want to miss a moment!

"Fake it till' you make it"... We've all heard it before. If you've ever taken my trainings or attended an event I've spoken at, you've probably even heard me say it before! I used to say it to my Agents, to my friends, and even to myself. No matter what the situation is, the uncompleted task I've been putting off, the social event I was hesitating to attend - I just have to smile and fake it to make it.

But over the past year... my feelings towards this saying have changed. On the never ending journey of becoming the most authentic version of myself (and encouraging those around me to do the same), "fake it till' you make it" no longer feels motivational. It feels FAKE. It feels like lying.

So what have I been saying instead?

Act As If.
 
And at the risk of sounding dramatic - it's been life changing and (good) habit forming.

So, how did three little words and a mindset shift increase my productivity, implement new routines, build better connections... and find my true self?

Let's get into it.

The seasons are changing, and sometimes we have to change with them. Whether it's new opportunities, big moves, or personal obstacles (like I'm going through now), sometimes my favorite thing ever (Social Media) can hinder our growth - not help it.

This week I'm sitting down and sharing a significant way I've been working on controlling what I let affect my energy, allowing me to put the joy back into my life. And I want to give YOU the tools, and permission, to do the same.

You're in control no matter what's going on in your life! Sometimes, we just need a little reminder of that.

We're all works in progress... So, what are we waiting for? Let's get to work.
