Letting go of the outcome might be the exact thing holding you back. When you’re so tied to the result, whether it’s booking the listing, converting the lead, or hitting your numbers, it creates pressure that pushes people away.

You’ll learn how this shift creates confidence, improves conversations, and ironically, helps you win more. I share stories from coaching sessions, how agents self-sabotage with attachment, and why detachment is a superpower in today’s real estate market. If you're stuck, burned out, or tired of the chase - this mindset change could be your breakthrough.
