    Decision Fatigue: How to Beat it

    Decision Fatigue: How to Beat it

    The average person makes over a thousand decisions every day. Can you imagine what that means for a person leading an empire? We’re probably making ten times as many decisions as that. Today, Kymber and Sarah dive into “decision fatigue.”
    First, we cover the signs of decision fatigue. If you notice you’re reacting to making a decision in these ways, you probably have decision fatigue: Emotionally reacting in a negative way, struggling to concentrate, feeling mentally drained, procrastinating, feeling extremely overwhelmed, or even making impulsive decisions.
    So what can we do to reduce decision fatigue? Kymber and Sarah discuss the top 6 keys: Protect your mindset and confidence, decrease the number of decisions you face, make lists and prioritize, lean into delegation, take breaks, practice self-care. 
    This episode is going to help you be a better, and happier, Empire Builder.

    Tenants, Mom Guilt, and More: Q&A with Empire Builders

    Tenants, Mom Guilt, and More: Q&A with Empire Builders

    We had such a great time at the Keller Williams 2024 Family Reunion, we wanted to share it with you! That’s why we’ve made this episode a recording of our panel Q&A session.
    We cover everything from tactical advice to sharing meaningful parts in our lives. We talk about finding good tenants (both residential and commercial) and developing strong relationships with them. We talk about mom guilt and favorite books. Probably the most impactful part was when we each answered the question, “Was there a defining moment when you stopped being content with an average life and started striving for next level living? And what were the first steps you took to change?”
    The energy in the room was incredible. Tune in and get re-energized with us!

    Building Wealth: What Numbers Matter

    Building Wealth: What Numbers Matter

    When a lot of people see numbers and math, they run for the hills. If that’s you, take a deep breath– you’re going to get a lot of this episode. Developing the habit of tracking your numbers is critical to wealth-building (we focus on personal wealth, not businesses in this episode). Which numbers? We’re glad you asked…
    We talk about your budget, and how to approach it with a positive mindset. We go over how to figure your net worth, and how to slowly increase your assets while decreasing your liabilities. Ever heard of the “financial freedom number?” Well, we discuss that too.
    If you automatically have a negative reaction when you hear “numbers” or  “budget” or “math,” this episode is for you. Tracking your numbers can be an empowering, freeing, and positive experience– we tell you how.

    7 Tactics to Grow Your Business Part 2

    Today is Part 2 of “The Top 7 Tactics to Grow Your Business.” Just like Part 1, we outline the top tactics, then we take questions from a live audience to give you real-life, applicable strategies.
    We cover finding your value and fighting for it– charging what you deserve, yes even and especially in service industries. We also dive into finding additional revenue streams based on what you are already doing– offering a coaching course on what your business is about, offering ad space in your waiting room or website, etc. We talk about protecting your energy and resources. And last but not least, we go over the importance of sticking to your plan- don’t get distracted by all the shiny things!
    You’re going to love the inspirational stories and wise nuggets from our audience. This is truly a special episode that you can come back to over and over while you are building that big business and an even bigger life!

    7 Tactics to Grow Your Business Part 1

    7 Tactics to Grow Your Business Part 1

    We had such a great, in-depth conversation, we had to break it into two episodes! This is part one of “The Top 7 Tactics to Grow Your Business.” And it wasn’t just us hosts this time– we took questions from our live audience. If listening to real life scenarios helps you envision how to apply tactics to your own business, tune in!
    We cover “building a fence,” another way of saying stay focused on doing one thing well instead of jumping around to the next shiny thing.  We also discuss how sometimes to move forward you have to look backwards– examine what your top revenue streams have been and double down on them. And finally, we talk about doing competitor analysis, even on your best friends in the business!
    This episode is really fun and jam packed with concrete actions you can take to 10x your business. Take a listen and don’t forget to tune in for Part 2!

    Leading in Hard Times

    Leading in Hard Times

    Optimistic leaders don't believe hard things are easy. They believe we can do hard things. That’s the core message of today’s episode about leading in hard times. Today we give you concrete advice about how to be optimistic with your individual team members and your team as a whole.
    Lots of us in real estate faced a hard year last year. The numbers show it. After about a decade of growth, there was a contraction. As leaders, we had to lean on, and improve, our skill of being optimistic. What we cover in this episode is based on our experiences, both failures and successes.
    Tune in to hear about how we bring optimism to one-on-one meetings with individual team members, reaffirming that we have faith in them. We also talk about leading whole teams with optimism, keeping them united in tough times. Specifically, we cover techniques like ending the day on a win, finding at least one data point that is positive, and spotlighting team members who are doing something well. The bottom line: You’ve got this!

SaleaJ ,

Love the vulnerability

I love how you don’t just talk about strategies and tips for each topic but how you allow vulnerability and honesty as business women and as extraordinary women, moms, sisters and mentors.

Rachel Lura ,

My best motivator!

After tuning in to Episode #184 - "Make More Money On Fewer Leads," I experienced a renewed sense of optimism regarding my staying in this business 💪🏻. Connecting with prospects has always been a challenge for me, as I often feel I lack the necessary value to genuinely engage them. However, the insightful takeaways from this podcast have provided me with actionable strategies to overcome this hurdle. The emphasis on resilience resonated deeply, especially in a profession where the timing of the next sale remains uncertain.

A heartfelt thank you to Empire Building for delivering exceptional and practical strategies ❤️. Your content is both insightful and actionable, and I find your voices particularly engaging! I aspire to communicate with the same finesse and confidence as your team. Keep inspiring us! ☀️
