When you finally get some momentum going .... and then you hit a wall!! ARGGGGH! What do you do to keep going?

We all hit walls in our journey towards our ultimate goals and purpose. Don't let the walls stop you in your tracks.

Stay strong.

Refocus on your vision.

Tap into those emotions in your gut that drive you forward. Tap into Your Purpose.

Evaluate the obstacle and then figure out another way around it.

Don’t give up! Keep going! You deserve it all!

If my Aunt Had Balls - she’d be my uncle …

That is one of my favorite sayings!

My mom and her sister … yes, my Aunt Mary (… and no balls …) used to say that to me when I would make excuses for not doing something by saying “what if.”

What if …. It doesn’t work? Or,

What if they don’t like me? Or

What if it’s a stupid idea? Or,

… well, you get the picture? … if my Aunt had balls, she’d be my uncle! And we’d all crack up!

But honestly, that saying would stop my self-doubts and limiting beliefs in their tracks because it made me realize -

You don’t know unless you try.

You can do it! TRY IT!

Refuel Often. Just like our body needs breaks - so does our mind.

Make sure to incorporate some form of relaxation every day where you can clear your mind of worries and stresses and just enjoy life.

Maybe it’s music, maybe it’s reading a fiction book or maybe it’s taking a walk.

Take some time to refuel!

Getting Clear on what you want to achieve in your business is a major cornerstone and it is necessary if you want to grow and scale your business.

How can you get somewhere if you don’t know where you are going or how you will get there?
Think of it like you are planning an awesome vacation.

When you first start to plan a vacation, if you are like me, you really dig in and research all the places you are interested in seeing. You learn as much about those places as you can - When is the best time to go? How do I get there? How long will it take the get there? What will it cost? Are there going to be obstacles in my way? How do I get around those obstacles and get to where I want to go so I can have the vacation of a lifetime?

Its the same in building your business:

First, Get Clear on where you want to go and what you want to achieve.
Second, identify the goals and steps (or pitstops if you will) that you need to accomplish in order to continue moving forward towards achieving your goals.

Third, get to travelling! Take the action needed to get you moving towards achieving your goals.
Fourth, when you get stuck or hit an obstacle. Don’t Quit! You wouldn’t quit a vacation! Simply, take a pause and re-align your actions with your goals.

Don’t get stuck at home!

Get Clear. Set goals. Plan it. Work It. Achieve It.

You can do it!

Feel Stuck? Don’t give up! Here are 4 ways to free yourself from what’s holding you back from achieving your greatness.

The nature of our world is magnificent.

Don’t let life pass by without taking time to enjoy the awe.
Pure joy.
Think of one thing you are grateful for today and KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

"I am not a quitter!" I sure do love me some SpongeBob SquarePants! ​​​​​​​​​.
Wow! Brings back some memories. Anyone else?
I remember when the boys were little and all 4 of us would pile on our small couch, laying across each other and we would watch Spongebob together!
Spongebob made us all laugh! But, this episode in particular had me laughing so hard I was crying.
The messages are priceless "When in Doubt - Pinky Out" "I am not a quitter!"
So, if you haven't this episode, Spongebob goes to visit Sandy Squirrel for the first time in her underwater home that has air! Spongebob is nervous. He has never been in air before ... But he really wants to visit with Sandy.
He and Patrick come up with an action to help Spongebob if he starts feeling like he is in trouble - to help remind him that he really wants to succeed - "Pinky Out"!
As the air starts drying Spongebob out and he begins to shrivel up, (hysterical, seriously) he struggles to remain calm. Patrick who is safe outside in the water, reminds Spongebob to put his "Pinky Out".
Spongebob lasts as long as he can before he is overcome with fear. He starts racing around the inside of Sandy's air tight home. Sandy jumps into action and quickly puts a helmet full of water over Spongebob's head!
With this new solution, Spongebob can now stay as long as he wants! Greatness!
Who knew we could learn something from Spongebob!
Be convicted to succeed. Find a resource or action that can help you stay focused on your vision. Use the people around you that can help! Push through, pivot if you need to, but don't quit!
If you are convicted to do something ... you will find a way!
"Pinky Out" my friends!

What is holding you back from becoming who you are meant to be?
Is it that tiny voice ... who am I kidding ... that really loud and obnoxious voice ... that talks to you in your mind and says things like ... “that is a stupid idea” or “you aren’t qualified enough” or “no one is going to listen to you”.
You are not alone! Everyone hears those pesky voices. I battle those darn voices every time I try to step out of my comfort zone ... which if you know me ... is quite a lot! Even the biggest and most successful stars out there have these inner “Doubting Thomas” voices!
I call my voice Negative Nancy. And, Nancy can be a Real Bitch!
The trick is learning how to push those voices out of the way and break free to move forward to reach your full potential ...
We all have those self-limiting beliefs and thoughts playing tug of war in our minds – especially when we are about to do something scary.
But here is the thing, our brains don’t know the difference between a real life threat or a perceived one. Our brain’s job is to protect us. Our bodies react the same – throwing that “fight or flight” adrenaline into the mix even when we just THINK we are in danger!
But guess who is in charge of your brain? YOU ARE! You can retrain it! YOU are the one with the power to change those negative thoughts into positive thoughts ... it takes practice, but you can do it!
Fight Back! YOU are worth it! Break free of what is holding you back and become the person you are meant to be!!

Nike has it right! Just Do It!
One of the hardest things for me is to dig my way out of the weeds. I spend way too much time thinking about what I want to do and how I am going to do it rather than just DOING IT and learning as I go!
I recently sat through a great seminar with Tony Robbins.
Tony said something that really struck me. He said "avoid the tyranny of how". Thinking about "how" to do something is an unconscious way to create doubt, concern and fear.
Instead ... Focus on what you "want" and "why".
Reasons come first. Answers come second.
So, if you are stuck trying to figure out "how" to do something - JUST DO IT!
Focus on your want and your why! The answers will follow.
Go Crush It!

❤️ My 25 year old son is a Dreamer ... just like me. He has dreams of building a life of passive income. And, he is on his way! I will support that dream in every way I can ... even if it means turning my home into an Amazon sub distribution center! 🤪.
I am so proud of him because he is working hard towards making that dream a reality.
💪 I am a BIG believer of Dreaming, and Dreaming BIG. We are too often told to stop Dreaming. There is a common misconception that Dreamers will never amount to anything.
🚫 STOP THE DREAM CRUSHING! SUPPORT YOUR DREAMERS!! 🚫
Rather than crushing a dreamer, help them realize their dreams by supporting their actions. Ask them how they plan to that dream? Help them think in terms of goal setting and creating a plan of action.
📌 Without Dreams, we don't have a destination.
Without Dreams, we will find ourselves in the same place year after year.
If you are a Dreamer and are interested in learning about building wealth and creating passive income streams visit my website - DBA Freedom - the link is in the Bio.
Dream. Believe. Achieve.
Anyone can do it with the proper mindset, plan, action and support!
✊🏻✊🏻 Fellow Dreamers! UNITE!

I hear that inner voice of doubt telling me ... you are too old for this ... you should be thinking about retiring ... not about dreaming bigger and starting new adventures to achieve your dreams! I have to tell myself - I AM NOT TOO OLD!! We are never too old to follow and pursue our dreams!
I had of aspirations and dreams when I was a young adult. When I got married and had children, of course, my focus changed.
As mothers, we pour ourselves into raising our children. And, even though I worked and ran several businesses while they were growing up, my focus was always on my boys. My work was more about what could I do from home to get by vs. reaching my own dreams.
Raising my 2 sons gave me purpose and meaning and brought me great great joy! I wouldn't trade those years for anything! Now, they are grown and beginning their own lives and it makes me recall my own beginnings and the dreams I once had for myself.
Who can relate? Let me know in the comments below.
Is it too late for me to dream again and achieve my dreams? NO!!!!! And, it is not too late for anyone else out there!
Stop listening to the voice of doubt and listen to the ROAR of your dreams.
Now, get going!

Freedom means so many different things to me.
We are so lucky to live in a country where we can be free to do what we want and make our own decisions. I take that for granted more than I would like to admit.
I am so very thankful to the men, women and families who have served and sacrificed for our country so that we can live where we can be free.
Don’t take this special gift of freedom for granted. It is your decision to live your life to the fullest.
Take advantage of your freedom and create the life you are meant to live!

I am an expert procrastinator. In fact, my parents used to call me Procrastination Kristen.
It is a hard habit to break! I have all kinds of excuses in my mind to put something off until tomorrow.

If we never get started, there is no way we can finish. Right?
The hardest step is always the first step. But then, you take a second step and it is slightly easier. Then a third, a fourth and before you know it you are running towards your goal and it doesn't feel so hard!

Take a Chance and Make a Choice To See if a Change is right for you!
Change is one of the hardest things. I have always struggled with transitions. Can you relate?
I remember the anxiety I felt when the new school year would start or end. It felt the same when I sent my own kids off to school as it did when I went when I was young!
The change of routine is unsettling.
But you know what? Without change, we will stay in the same spot! We won't ever progress.
When we get too comfortable, we become stagnant. Nothing worse than mossy water with mosquitos! Ha!
If we don't make the Choice to make Changes in our life, we might miss the Chance at life changing opportunities!
3 years ago, my real estate partner and I took a big Chance. After being at the same brokerage for 10 & 20 years, we made the Choice to Change to a very innovative and new brokerage - eXp Realty.
It was a scary move! We were comfortable. We were successful. We thought we were doing good and we were very happy where we were. Ring True to You?
As scary as it was, our Choice Changed the trajectory of my life! It changed my outlook on life, it reignited my passion to Dream, it expanded my reach as an entrepreneur, and it re-enforced my belief that I can achieve anything.
When was the last time you stopped to think about your Dreams?
As an entrepreneur, you owe it to your self to review where you are, think about where you want to be, and evaluate the opportunities in front of you - or you might be in the same place 10 years from now no closer to your Dreams.
Now, THAT IS SCARY!
I am not asking you to make a Change - I am asking you to take a Chance and learn about an opportunity so you can make a Choice.
Give me a call or DM me.

It's a fantastic time to sell your home!! Today’s housing market is full of unprecedented opportunities.
🙌 High buyer demand paired with record-low housing inventory is creating the ultimate sellers’ market,
however, that doesn’t mean sellers are guaranteed success no matter what.
❗❗ There are still some key things to know so you can avoid costly mistakes and win big when you make a move.
👉 Here are 3 mistakes we see Sellers make:
1. You want to Price Your House Too High
👉 When inventory is low, like it is in the current market, it’s common to think buyers will pay whatever we ask when setting a listing price. Believe it or not, that’s not always true. Even in a sellers’ market, listing your house for the right price will maximize the number of buyers that see your house. This creates the best environment for bidding wars, which in turn makes it more likely to increase the final sale price.
2. Let Emotions Drive Decisions
👉 Homeowners can get very attached to their homes. Every room has memories, and it’s hard to detach from that sentimental value. For some homeowners, that connection makes it even harder to separate the emotional value of the house from the fair market price.
3. Don’t Stage Your House Properly
👉 Buyers want to envision themselves in the space so it truly feels like it could be their own. They need to see themselves inside with their furniture and keepsakes – not your pictures and decorations. Stage, clean, and declutter so they can visualize their own dreams as they walk through each room.

This quote makes me feel so hopeful and happy. I believe that everyone is born with Gifts - yes ... plural .. I think we have many gifts.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Some gifts are obvious - like a great singing voice, or athleticism, speed, intelligence. Other gifts are not so easy to recognize. You have to experience new things to discover them.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
What if Pablo Picasso had never picked up a paint brush? How would he have become a great painter?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
If you don't get out of your comfort zone and experience new things, how will you ever discover all of your Gifts?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Isn't that exciting?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Life is Adventure? And we are supposed to experience new things to find our Gifts? That sounds AWESOME!!!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
As we get older, we start thinking we are too old to try new things! That's a load of crap! We are only as old as our mind thinks we are!!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
So, I AM 25!! 😋​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Seriously, if you give up trying new things because you think you are too old, or you are too comfortable, or don't have enough time, or whatever your excuse is ... ... think of all the things and cool experiences and happiness you are missing!!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Life is an adventure. Don't sit on the sidelines.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
I challenge everyone to plan at least 1 new experience every month! Who is with me!!??!!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Let me know what you think and what you want to experience first!!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
