Quotes:

"There's one side of it where people need to get a sale. They're looking at their financials, and they're saying, 'If this sale comes together, this will make everything okay.'"

"Sometimes we have to let go of things and let them be what they're going to be."

"The Ninja mindset is to focus on the process, not the outcome."

"When you care about people and you see them hurting or struggling or you know that the path that they're going down is going to be challenging for them, it's hard not to be attached to that outcome."

"I think gratitude is a big part of this."

"Your job as a realtor is not to sit there and bask in the feelings. It's to understand that and then figure out, ‘Okay, well, what are we going to do now?’”

"You can't be so emotionally involved and attached that you're burning yourself up all the time."

"I'm going to continue to be a good person. This isn't all about real estate. This isn't all about my success as a realtor."

“That ability of letting go, taking a step back, taking a breath, actually preserves all the other systems and relationships that you're building and working with.”
