Hustle Humbly Podcast

Picking up your real estate business and relocating it can be done successfully! We dive into the essentials for making a smooth transition to a new market including key mindset shifts and ways to prepare. We discuss the importance of focusing on friendships to drive business success, the need for engaging meet-ups, and utilizing platforms like Google Business and Facebook groups. Learn how our guest added over 60 people to her database using MASC's fall guide. We also explore the challenges and strategies involved in relocating as an agent, including managing your previous business and database and growing your business in an unfamiliar area. Hear about the role of in-person networking and integrating social media with meet-ups.  We are so excited to welcome Christine Cooper for this fun interview! Christine is a military veteran spouse who relocated with the Navy from Louisiana to Washington state and finally to Madison, Wisconsin. When she’s not out showing homes or negotiating offers, she’s spending time with her fur-babies, planning a weekend adventure with her husband/bff, binging the latest Netflix show, or sipping wine with the girls!  You are going to love getting to know Christine!

Let’s travel back in time to 5 years ago when two full time Realtors were looking to make a difference in the industry they loved. We are excited to reshare episode 1 of the podcast. Yes, the sound quality has come a long way, but the message still rings true!    Introduction to Alissa & Katy and the WHY behind Hustle Humbly In this episode we introduce ourselves and give a little background on why we see a need in the real estate industry for a podcast of encouragement. We both share a love of mentoring agents and wanted the ability to reach a larger audience. Alissa was going on dozens of coffee dates a year to give advice to new and struggling agents and this episode dives into what was talked about in those coffee dates. We also talk about how we met on one of these very dates and the reasons Katy reached out to Alissa. Join us as we toast our mentors and pull back the curtain on the "secret" to success!

It’s our 5th birthday today and we are sharing how the show and our advice has changed you, our listeners. We can barely believe it was 5 whole years ago when we met up for breakfast on podcast release day. We hoped to get just 100 downloads that day and now we’ve surpassed 2,000,000. But this episode and this birthday aren’t about us; it’s about YOU! So many kind listeners wrote in to tell us how the show has impacted their lives and how it makes them feel and we are sharing their thoughts with you. From buying their brokerage to being able to afford their dream to simply finding a way to work peacefully while raising 5 kids, Hustle Humbly has played a part. You’ve listened to us in the car, the shower, while walking the dog, training for a marathon, doing laundry and dishes, and so much more. We are beyond grateful for each of you and so humbled by these stories and all of our listeners who keep returning every Monday. Maybe you feel like we are friends and the truth is we ARE.

Who could have guessed the movie we would most often quote in reference to real estate would be “He’s Just Not That Into You”? As it turns out dating behavior parallels quite nicely to the situations we come across as agents.  The romantic comedy “He’s Just Not That Into You” gives a hilarious glimpse into the complexities of relationships. This dynamic can surprisingly mirror the interactions between real estate agents and their clients. The world of real estate is filled with mixed signals, searching for signs, waiting for the phone to ring and the desperate need for honest communication. Join us for a fun chat about the movie that got Alissa through a break-up back in the day and continues to provide wisdom for our real estate businesses now.    Leave us a review at ratethispodcast.com/hustlehumbly Get your FREE Database Template  Email Templates 101: emailtemplates101.com Build Your Own Business 101: hustlehumblypodcast.com/byob Agent Systems 101: agentsystems101.com All Resources: hustlehumblypodcast.com Submit your topic ideas and toasts to team@hustlehumblypodcast.com.
