Too many agents spend their energy worrying about interest rates, the economy, or the market—but none of that sells a home or serves a client. In this episode of The Mindful Agent, I share why I’ve stopped letting fear and uncertainty run the show, and how I’ve found joy in the grind instead.
Real growth isn’t found in the big closings or the applause. It’s in the phone calls, the follow-ups, the open house signs—it’s in the daily process that shapes who we are.
What you’ll learn in this episode: • How to stop fixating on what you can’t control (like the market) • Why the daily grind is where true growth happens • Practical ways to bring mindfulness into everyday tasks • How presence and consistency create long-term freedom • Why joy doesn’t come at the end of the deal—it’s available now
When we start treating the grind as the gift, we stop postponing joy for someday—and start living it today.
