What is the power of pause, why is it important, and what does it have to do with selling real estate? The power of the pause is an effective strategy for so many things. Pausing allows you to step back from the situation, gain awareness of your emotions and make different choices. When you take a moment to pause, you are, in effect, giving yourself the grace to act rather than react. Not only can it be a helpful relationship-building tool with family and friends, but it can also also be a powerful tool in business. Pausing in the middle of a negotiation allows you to regain control of the situation. In this episode, Betti's back, and she shares her strategies for pausing and how it helps her life and work. Her top 3 takeaways: Be intentional with your time - you cannot be all things to all people, and you don’t need to be. Zero in on what’s most important. Take some time to figure it out - you cannot look deep within if you are constantly on the run. Tell yourself it’s ok to take a break, schedule the time if you need to, and do it. Be ok with it - don’t feel guilty for getting rid of what no longer serves you. Not everything and everyone is meant to be in your life forever. They’re there for a reason- they bring you to what comes next. Change is good.

After 30+ years as a real estate professional, Diane Terry knows more than simply how to sell a home. She's learned to let go of perfection and accept that she may not be everyone's cup of tea. She's a tell-it-like-it-is, ain't got time for the pain type - and she's not afraid to throw down an f-bomb if it feels right. Diane is known among her peers as the Sage because of her wealth of knowledge, thoughtfulness, and 'get it done' approach, which landed her in the natural position of teacher and mentor. Diane's approach is different than your average real estate agent's. Diane is thoughtful and curious. She believes most people listen to respond instead of listening to understand. In this conversation, we talked about the art of listening and what it means to do business with integrity and an open heart. Diane's advice: Understand the importance of listening in work and life. It will change the quality of your relationships. Never lose your sense of awe and curiosity. Live your life with integrity. May you start your day with intention and end it with gratitude.
