In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what “business planning” or “business auditing” I’m ACTUALLY doing for the new year. This episode is meant to help you finish the year with clarity so you can sail into the new year running your business with confidence.

Whether you’re a brand-new agent or you’ve been winging it longer than you’d like to admit, this episode gives you a practical and honest conversation for wrapping up your year strong — and setting yourself up to hit January already in motion.

Ep. 15 - LLC, Write-Offs, & CEO Money Moves for Rookie Realtors - ft. Keisha Rondeno: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/real-talk-for-rookie-realtors/id1815970469?i=1000735548700

In today’s cheesy but mini-episode, I’m reading a letter full of advice I wish I could give to my rookie self six years ago — the version of me who was brand new to real estate, had NO idea where to start, overwhelmed, and wondering if she had what it took.

This episode is part mindset, part encouragement, and part reminder that every rookie agent is on a journey that’s so much bigger than they realize.

As we start to reflect on this year and plan for the new year, let this be your sign to look back & be proud of how far you’ve come & excited about where you’re going.
