What personal experience prompted Diane Mills to reevaluate her life?
When my dad passed away, I had this cathartic moment of maybe I only have 30 years left. I want to make these years really impactful and I want to realize dreams that I've always had and I'm going to just go for it. And I feel like I'm in the best part of my life and I'm 58 years old.
Diane Mills is a real estate leader, mentor, and partner at Global Agent Collective. She helps real estate professionals grow thriving businesses by equipping them with the mindset, strategies, and support to succeed while encouraging others to embrace new opportunities at every stage of life.
I think people connect to people and stories more than they connect to numbers and data. You get a great platform and you can utilize it and maximize it, but it's more about the connections you make with the people. And that's what brings them over to eXp.
Do you feel like you've compartmentalized your knowledge and go, all right, I'm going to monetize this and here's how I'm going to do it?
What I can tell you is the experience that I bring to the table, the experience that any person brings to the table, is really our value prop, our personal value prop.
And I feel that... It spans the globe like a super high school internet. Elvis Presley. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's not over until I win. The Living Your Legacy podcast.
How did Diane transition from a corporate career to real estate?
For those who live to leave a legacy.
That's extraordinary. The impossible. Oh, that is sensational. Open. Chicago with the lead. Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet. UK.
Welcome back to another amazing episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast. For Inside Success, I am Ray Gutierrez. Joining me today is yet another powerful woman with another powerful story, Diane Mills, joining us all the way from San Diego. Welcome to the East Coast.
Thank you. How are you doing?
I am doing well, thank you.
What role do relationships play in Diane's business philosophy?
Diane, you're literally fresh off the production pipeline. How do you feel filming your episode?
I feel great. I feel like it was really a natural process and it flowed well. I feel really good about it.
Cool. What are we going to learn about you in your episode?
I think you're going to learn about my journey, kind of where I began and where I've now arrived and where I'm going. Really talking about my professional journey, my personal journey, how it's all kind of intertwined and how it's led me to the opportunity I'm now pursuing and sharing. So I hope it's inspiring. Right on.
Well, where do you begin before we figure out your why, your North Star? Where does your journey begin?
My journey begins and I was born in Los Angeles. My parents were, you know, wonderful, good people.
How can personal loss lead to discovering one's purpose?
They moved us to Laguna Niguel to Orange County when I was six years old and I was raised primarily there in Laguna Niguel area. Went to, you know, high school in Dana Point, public schooled, went on to go to UCLA, got married very young, 23, still married and had my beautiful family. And that's where I began my days.
I got to ask when you say, you know, born in L.A., like there's a sense of pride there. What does that really mean when you're born in L.A. ?
Well, you know, it's where my parents began. They both were born in Los Angeles. And, you know, they were both raised in East Los Angeles, kind of in the hood, really. Came from modest beginnings. And they were inspired to want to create a better life for me and my brothers. I have three brothers. And my dad worked multiple jobs to move us to Laguna Niguel so that we could have a more kind of... community upbringing in a less crazy environment than what they knew. And that's kind of what inspired that.
What strategies does Diane use to empower others in their careers?
So I'm very proud of the fact that my parents took us to a different location. I love my roots from L.A. I ended up going back there to go to college. And I love Los Angeles. I think it's a dynamic city. I love it. But I didn't want to raise my family there. I kind of wanted a quieter place to raise my kids. And so we did so in San Diego County, which is very much like where I grew up.
Right on. Talk about your entrepreneurial journey. What was that first moment where you sold your first piece of gum or something that triggered, hey, I can do this for a living.
