212. WealthyWellthy: An Interview with Krisstina Wise

In any part of life, but especially in real estate sales, communication is critical. In this episode, we dive into DiSC, the personality assessment that helps everyone communicate and understand each other better. DiSC stands for the four main personality profiles in the model. “D” is for dominance, “i” is for influence, “S” is for steadiness, and “C” is for conscientiousness. You can score high in more than one.We dig into the details of each one, but more importantly we apply the profiles to real life examples in our businesses and home lives. Plus we share our own DiSC scores– If you’re a fan of the podcast, you can probably guess a few of them! This is a fun, insightful episode where we get real about communication hurdles and how to overcome them.Resources:Learn more: DiSCprofile.comConnect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVA MediaAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Guilt-free vacations are a must. You need them. Every single one of your team members needs them. Not only do vacations reduce burnout and illness, but they’re critical opportunities to cross-train staff, create systems, and overall make your business more autonomous and sustainable.But here’s the thing– no one is going to take a guilt-free vacation if you don’t systematize it. In this episode we teach you concrete steps to make sure you and your team members take vacations that are good for them and good for business.We break it down into three segments: Preparing your team, preparing your clients, and preparing yourself. We also touch on how to build vacation into your company culture: Mandatory vacation, including vacations on vision boards and quarterly goals, etc.Whether taking off a single day terrifies you, or you have a decent vacation practice, this episode has tried-and-true tips for you to strengthen your vacation “muscle.”Connect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVA MediaAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Here at Empire Building, we’re all about building a big business, and more importantly, a bigger life. So today we dive into how to live a big, long, healthy, robust life. We are talking Blue Zones.Blue Zones are parts of the world where people live the longest. Dan Buettner came up with the term while studying the places that have the highest life expectancy or with the highest proportions of people who reach age 100: Barbagia region of Sardinia; Ikaria, Greece; Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica; Seventh Day Adventists in Loma Linda California; and Okinawa, Japan. In this episode, we review the 9 daily habits that Dan identified across these communities. They are: Move naturally, have purpose, down shift, eat to 80% full, stick to a plant-based diet, drink alcohol moderately, belong to a community, put your family first, and find your circle of support.We dive into the details of each one and talk about how we can find space for them in our own lives as Empire Builders.Resources:Learn more at the Blue Zones Project Listen to Simon Sinek’s podcast episode with Dan Buettner Read Peter Attia’s book “Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity” Connect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVA MediaAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

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.Connect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVA MediaAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

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.

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.
