Super Bowl kicks off tomorrow. Will you be watching?

Last month I shared details of a book that I found invaluable during my real estate career. One of my aims this month was to complete a book a month. Doesn't sound that difficult but I don't get a lot of spare time. Let me rephrase that. I don't make enough spare time. This year I've committed to change that. In January I completed the book, The End of Proscatination - how to stop postponing and live a fulfilled life. What business, self improvement or marketing book have you read recently that was inspiring? Please share it here.

Today is international puzzle day. So tell me, what puzzles you about the online world and real estate? Is it social media, getting more leads to your website, how to optimise your marketing ROI or how to reach more of your ideal client? What ever it is please please share your question here. Don't be shy.

For an experienced agent, finding social media or blog topics that will interest your ideal market should not be difficult.

Think about the types of questions that you are continually asked by vendors or buyers. What type of content will be of interest to your intended audience?

Give thought to their pain points, areas of confusion and the topics that people are often misinformed about.

As a real estate agent, you are already considered, by most, to have knowledge of the industry. You may or may not be considered an expert yet, but you would likely be considered an authority at least.

If you are new to the industry tag along to an open home or a listing presentation and take notes, mental or otherwise, of the things that sellers or buyers seek clarification on. In no time at all you will begin to see a pattern emerge.

We generally know our market and by giving a bit of thought to this it will not take long to come up with plenty of ideas for social media or blog content

17th Jan is the official 'ditch New Years Resolutions Day'. How have you gone with your resolutions or goals so far this year? Why do we start a new year with so much enthusiasm?
As a kid I was one of those that got excited about returning to school, covering my books, buying stationary, etc. Nerdy I know. It wasn't about school as such, it was about the possibilities, the newness and freshness of it all. The dreams of what the future year might bring for me that year. 🌈
But somewhere along the way I would lose my enthusiasm and momentum. As the year progressed my writing would become scrapier, I wasn't as enthusiastic, and it I didn't put in the effort that I had at the start of the year.
Sales can be very much the same. It's easy to set goals at the end of a year. We somehow convince ourselves that the sun rising on a new year is going to make all the difference to us.
One thing that has helped me over the years with attaining my goals is a book 📗 called The Miracle Morning For Real Estate Agents. 🌞
If you haven't read it and you want to really make an impact this year, then check it out. I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you have read it please share your thoughts in the comments.
And if you do invest in it and implement the suggestions please let me know of the impact that it has for you both personally and professionally. Click the link below 👇

BE WARNED: it's a long one.
Yesterday, I welcomed new followers. I then realized that I haven’t shared anything about me. So here we go.
I grew up in Campbelltown NSW.
I moved to the Central Coast of NSW in my twenties. I got my first full time real estate job in 1996. I felt that I had found my ‘tribe’. My competitive nature didn’t hurt either.
After 18 months I resigned. I found the demanding work schedule difficult to juggle as a new single mum with a 3-year-old. But I knew I’d be back.
In 2010 I returned. I felt the same excitement about the industry that I’d had nearly 15 years earlier. A few things had changed. Agents no longer wore pagers. They didn’t have mobile phones the size of house bricks. There was no sign of the box card file systems that sat on our desks to hold our leads. Oh, and there was this new thing called the internet.
My partner Craig and I are celebrating 13 years together this month. It’s just the two of us. Our kids are all out on their own now. Craig is smart, funny, and supportive. In return I drive him bat-sh*t crazy. It truly is a win-win. 😜
Speaking of kids, we have 4 between us, two girls, two boys and a combined 6 grandchildren, three boys and three girls. Our ‘kids’ range from 22 to 36. Grandkids are from almost 3 through to 17. Crazy about them all and yes, they make me bloody crazy too.
Our family motto is inspired by Craig’s stepdad Bobby. ‘There are no steps in this family. We are all the same’. We try to continue this mantra as our little tribe continues to grow.
We have two rescue dogs. Hank is a staffy cross. Archie is a boxer cross Ridgeback. They share half a brain. But they seem to manage. 🧠
I’m truly obsessed with the V8 Supercar series. Bathurst 1000 weekend is my favourite of the year.
I bought a block of land at 17 and my first home at 19. So far, I’ve bought 12 homes. Do I still have them all, no. Do I wish I did? Absolutely!
I write with my left-hand. I use my right hand for all sports except pool or snooker where I use my left. I also brush my teeth, using my left hand. Weird I know.
I’m impatient and I have a fear of flying, but I’m getting better at it. The flying that is 😀
Newcastle Knights are my NRL team. Yes, I’m admitting to that. 🏉
When Craig steals my chocolate, I think about ending his life. 🍫
I’m an early riser, 5am
I swear more than I should.
I love music & podcasts.
Did I mention that I swear more than I should?
I’m not sure what I love most, old cars or old homes. I can aim for both right? An old character home with a 1970’s Ford or Holden in the drive. Sounds perfect.
At 16 I had a sawn-off shotgun held at my head in a robbery. At 24 I was threatened by two men who jumped the counter, brandishing a broom. I seriously wondered if they were planning their getaway, Harry Potter style. These two experiences convinced me that I probably wasn’t destined to work in a bank. 🏦
When I was 25, four men barged into my house to do a home invasion. Although I’ve had my share of bumps with undesirables, I don’t have a shady past and I’m not leading a double life. I promise.
I loved Breaking Bad. On the other extreme I also loved the Queen’s Gambit. Never got into Game of Thrones. But I’ve been known to binge watch Yellowstone and Ozark if that redeems me.
Please drop me a comment, say ‘hi’ and tell me a little bit about you.

I was never one to eat breakfast. But in real estate, you often never know when you will next get the chance to eat. 😋

I'm not one to make resolutions. I do set goals but I've never been big on New Years Resolutions. This year though I thought I'd get super serious about what is important to me and set just one. 'They' say when you put it out there that you are more likely to succeed due to support family, friends, colleagues and so on. So here it is. It's my only resolution for 2021 but it's a big one so please support me in achieving it. I thought about setting two but I really don't want to be distracted and want to be super focused on achieving this one new years resolution. I'm super positive and know that I won't fail :)

Traditional methods of prospecting are focused on reaching people at the exact moment that they are thinking of selling. Most forms of prospecting have us living in a state of hope. Hope that we will manage to jag a seller by knocking on their door, at the opportune time when they are just ready to sell.

The disadvantage here is that you are only meeting cold prospects. You will usually be competing with other agents. So you’ll often be screwed down on fee as there is no prior relationship there. The know, like and trust factor is not in place.

Sure, there are those times when you meet someone months or even years before they are ready to sell. But when they eventually start doing their research they'll come into contact with many other agents and you will lose your advantage. Traditional methods give you no point of difference and no true advantage for being the first cab off the rank. If you want a true advantage and a prospecting method that's scaleable check out my blog article on how to get more real estate clients

I've been seeing a lot of 'what 2020 taught me posts'.

Do you want to smash it out of the park in 2021? 🏡
✅ I’m looking for 2 - 3 agents for a small BETA group to test my new service (FREE OF CHARGE).

If your goal is to finally dominate your market and take control of your real estate career, I would love to speak with you.

Don’t spend another 2 to 3 years stuffing about chasing your tail for little reward and working to the point of exhaustion.

I get it. I’ve been there. You love what you do, and you are passionate about it. You know that this is what you are meant to be doing. 🥰

😴 But you are at the point of exhaustion. You are forever chasing your tail trying to keep up with it all. Your passion and energy are waning with your ridiculous work hours. Every day you have a to-do list that you never seem to get to the end of.

Despite prospecting your arse off you aren’t making any traction in your community or patch. You have a great reputation out in the market, and you deliver great results to your clients. But success always feels a little out of reach.

You are being pulled into many different directions. You work hard trying to keep all those balls in the air. You feel the demands of your boss, your family, and your clients. You notice less skilled agents doing better. Work-life balance is almost non-existent for you now.

🤔Then the self-doubt kicks in. You start wondering if this real estate gig is really for you? You know you can be great, but it seems just out of reach.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Your lack of traction or results is likely not your fault.

Are you serious about learning exactly what you need to do to attract YOUR IDEAL CLIENTS...CONSISTENTLY?

Listing, selling, and regular commissions will become your new norm.

Say goodbye to overbearing, pain in the butt clients with ridiculous expectations. Instead of drowning in overwhelm and not earning regular comm, finally, start charging what you’re worth and have your ideal clients waiting in line to work with you. 🤑

🔊 I’m looking for 2 - 3 agents for a small BETA group to test my new service (FREE OF CHARGE)

You will need to be:

• Ready to finally take charge of your real estate career because you are reaching the point of exhaustion. You know that what you are currently doing is not sustainable long term. Something needs to give.
• Friendly and coachable. Deep down inside you know you are meant to do this. Now is YOUR time.
• You have a great work ethic and appreciate that in this business you get out what you put in.
• You are ready to go from a fatigued wreck to a marketing master and become the respected, go-to agent in your community while doing so.
• You want to reach your income goals by genuinely helping others.
• You’re committed to consistent action and holding yourself accountable.

❓ Why work with me?

🎬 As Liam Neeson said in the movie Taken ‘what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills that I have acquired over a very long career’.

👉 Jokes aside, I have a unique combination of real estate sales experience combined with extensive SEO, and content & digital marketing experience.
👉 I'm a seasoned professional with experience across three decades of real estate.
👉 I’ve received numerous awards for having reached a high level of sales success.
👉 I've helped agents both in Australia and overseas
👉I absolutely love real estate marketing – and I’ll show you how to love it too.

I won’t work with just anyone. Here’s why?
👉Not all relationships work. Nobody knows that more than a real estate agent, right? I want to ensure that you get results. But both life and real estate have taught me, that not everyone is a good fit.

❤️😁 If you’re passionate, driven, genuinely love what you do, and are prepared to possibly move out of your comfort zone a little bit, I think we have the basis of something great.

If you would like to apply, please let me know in the comments or send me a message. There are only 2 more spots available and we will get started in the new year. 🗓️
