As women, how do we become better leaders? For Desiree, it goes back to her childhood having parents that gave her the greatest gift, in my opinion, which is self-confidence. Not only did she learn how to pick herself back up when she fell, but also how to face each obstacle head on and better herself because of each challenge she encountered. After all, life defines who you are based on how you react to those bumps in the road.
She is the founder and CEO of the National Association of Women in Real Estate Business focusing on diversity inclusion in every facet of business in real estate. They don’t work in your business, but help you work ON your business.
We had SUCH a great time sharing our views on women’s leadership and the importance of having enough self-confidence to jump out of your comfort zone in order for your business to soar. It’s all about growing, self-confidence, vision, a support system, and then ultimately having the ability to keep it all going.
Take a listen and give us your feedback! We can’t wait to hear from you!

Special thanks for my good friend and Sales Trainer Extraordinaire Eric Lofholm for introducing me to today's guest, Cheri Alguire!
Cheri and I had a great conversation on Today’s podcast about how much the real estate industry has changed in 20+ years but how it really hasn’t.
Are you getting overwhelmed with all the technology options? I know for me I struggle with YouTube and Video. I always feel like such a dork and very self-conscious but Cheri gives us some great tips on how to get over that.
How do you set yourself apart in the day and age when everyone is bombarded with options? How do you figure out where and how to spend your valuable time and money to make the most of career in real estate?
Listen in as Cheri and I discuss what you can do today to get control over your business and your life.
After you decompress from all the wonderful insight in this podcast, make sure to check out the one I did with Eric a few months ago. It was EYE OPENING for me and think you'll feel the same way! Eric Lofholm Podcast

This is a great topic that I think few of us think about, but are we taking the time to not only tell our kids about what we do, but SHOW them.
Listen in on how Mary Shannon Smith not only survives Hurricane Charlie by focusing on investors to rehab the devastated city but teaches her 14 Year old daughter… yes I said 14 years old … how to buy her very own first rental.
There is a great saying I heard years ago, “it’s not the commissions that make you rich, it’s what you DO with the commissions that will make you rich”!
What are you doing with your commissions? Are you not only investing in real estate yourself, but are you TEACHING your kids?
Not only is Shannon an inspiration as a parent but she created one of the largest Real Estate Facebook Groups for real estate agents in less than 3 months.
This podcast is worth the time to listen to. I would love to hear your thoughts and comments over on our blog at

When I met Steve Napolitan a few years back I had no idea what an impact he would make on me when we got together to do this podcast! I swear every few sentences was an "AHA" moment for me as we talked about so much stuff, from MINDSET to why the heck are you NOT making your calls?

As someone I personally connected with through Facebook, I can tell you how valuable it is to grow and deepen relationships in order to gain any value from them. Bill Crane is a perfect example of what you can learn when you take the time to get to know someone.
A successful coach for entrepreneurs and real estate professionals alike, Bill shares the value of relationships and conquering the fear of rejection. You’ll find cold calls and door knocking aren’t so scary once you push through the fear and find there was never anything to be afraid of in the first place. The person on the other end of that phone call or door isn’t taking your presence personally, why should you let their reaction make or break your day?
The objective in real estate, after all, is to help your clients sell/buy a home. The commission is just a bonus! Our focus should always be on how we can help people, making real estate personal again. Not only will your relationships grow from this mindset, but so will your business and how you ultimately feel about the business you are creating.
Give this podcast a listen! There are so many interesting turns that get your mind reeling about all the possibilities that lie ahead for the real estate business!

The coolest part of this interview is my guest’s name is MARGUERITE too… to…two… also? We had such a great conversation about different versions of success and what exactly is the new norm.
Marguerite has built an extraordinary business that works perfectly for her where people CHOOSE her instead of having to go out and constantly look for new business. In fact she stopped LISTING homes in 2009 and refers all of her listings.
This conversation is so real and transparent as we talk about how realtors really lie to each other in so many ways and are we really honoring and promoting the right values in our industry? Are we focusing on the wrong stuff at the national conferences and events?
If you are struggling with work/life balance you will feel better after listening to us Marguerite’s smack it down.
I really want to hear your opinions and thoughts on this one…. It is so good!
