They want nothing more than for me to get my health back and they support me unconditionally through my treatments and they take amazing care of our clients. Honestly, my executive assistant, I like to call her my boss because Her skill set is so vast and incredible and the complete opposite of mine. I wouldn't be able to get any of this, anything done without her, honestly.
So understanding that we're not meant to do life alone. We're meant to do life in community. Whatever that may be, whether it's at work or outside of work, for me, my business has become my family. It is a very demanding business. Real estate is to perform at a high level. We work very hard.
But the most important thing that I've learned, and I had to learn and continue to learn the hard way through not having the physical ability to do everything, is understanding that we're not supposed to be able to do it all ourselves.
And when we can find like-minded individuals that have similar visions in terms of why they're doing business and what motivates them and really find the people, I like to call them like your tribe. Who are the people that have your back unconditionally, that care just as much as you do about the business or about your clients or whatever it may be as you do?
And it's taken me years and years to find those people. But now that I have, it's truly the only reason that I'm able to continue forward with having a really successful business. is because I have people around me that not only care about me and my health and making sure that I'm able to take care of myself.
If I'm not able to get out of bed one day, I know that these people have my back and that they're going to take just as good of care of our clients. They want to build relationships. They put heart into everything that they do. And I honestly don't know what I would do without my amazing team.
But it's taken years and years of coaching and therapy and mentors to help me understand that I can't do it all by myself and I need to. Delegation is actually giving someone the opportunity to be their best and to empower them. And I will continue to learn how to do it, but I believe in teamwork more than anything.
Yeah, and that's what I would love nothing more is to be able to give people hope in whatever challenge or adversity that you're going through. But I would first say it's okay to acknowledge when you're struggling. When you're going through hardship, there is somewhat of a toxic positivity that people can say, oh, just don't think about it. Like, you'll be fine.
No, it's acknowledge that you're going through a significant challenge. But don't allow yourself to get stuck there. And oftentimes I believe that we have a thought, a vision that we have to make all of these changes at one time.
That all of a sudden we're supposed to have a completely new mindset and we're supposed to be able to have the ability to rewire our brains and we're not supposed to hurt and Everything seems like it's supposed to all happen at once, but what I've learned is the key is to take baby steps.
Every single day, if we can focus, one of my favorite books, Atomic Habit, talks about if we focus on being 1% better every day, then imagine how much that will accumulate over a year. If you're looking to get healthier, start by walking five minutes outside and then try six and then try 10 and then break everything into smaller steps.
If you're looking to create routines in your life, for example, a morning routine, Start with two things that you're going to consistently do every day and commit to them. And for me, I have to keep myself accountable by actually printing out my must-dos and checking them off every day.
Because if I don't do that, I won't hold myself accountable to doing the things that I have to do to stay successful. In a positive mindset or in a healthier place. So find what small items in your life activities that you can implement and that you can commit to implementing that are going to be small at first.
But over time, those small changes that you hold yourself accountable to are going to add up to being completely life changing changes. And before you know it, the amount that the amount of growth and change and development that you can achieve. create by having these small routines and being 1% better than you were the day before.
These are going to add up to monumental changes in your life and I promise that it's going to It's going to help you get through whatever challenge it is because you have something positive to focus on. And when you have something positive to focus on, you can get through any challenge that life throws your way. And I truly believe that.
I completely agree. I write everything down by hand in a notebook. I believe that if you see yourself writing it, it gets into your brain and you're able to visualize it and internalize it in a completely different way. Thank you for adding that because I have a journal that I bring with me everywhere. to write my positive affirmations that are my goals. It makes a huge difference.
And I really believe in the power of using just a pen and paper, which is something everyone can do. But these are tools that we have at our fingertips to hold ourselves accountable to being the best that we can be, no matter the situation that we're in.
You just gave me the biggest smile because I am a huge supporter of writing. It needs to be hand, paper, put your phone away, and go. Just make it simple.
Thank you. I appreciate your time and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day. And I hope this inspires anyone out there. Please feel free to contact me if you need support.
Thank you.
