Welcome back to Martinis & Mentors Podcast with Yvonne Arnold - The Final Sip Friday Edition— where real estate pros come to cut the fluff, fix their business, and actually grow.

In this episode, Yvonne hits a nerve by talking about money, specifically why high-producing agents keep feeling broke despite big commission checks. If your bank account keeps side-eyeing you every month, this one's for you.

We break down the three most common money mistakes that keep even successful agents living paycheck to paycheck, and how to finally treat your real estate business like the business it is.

Whether you're confusing commission with income or buying validation instead of ROI, you'll walk away knowing exactly how to shift from financial chaos to true profitability.

What You'll Learn Today:

✅ Why commission ≠ income (and what to do with every closing check instead)

✅ The four numbers every agent must track to stop flying blind

✅ How to tell the difference between ego spending and real investments.

✅ A simple system to pay yourself consistently, like the CEO you are.

 Today I am launching my new podcast, Martini's and Mentors, and it's been something I have been thinking about for several years. Yep, years. It's funny. I've been told by friends and clients that I should write a book or start a radio show to tell all the stories that after almost 40 years of real estate sales and 16 years of coaching, you tend to gather and accumulate.
