Real estate does not have to feel this heavy. In this episode, Carla shares the core teachings from the RISE of the Double Duty Agent class and walks you through how to build consistency, confidence, and momentum without sacrificing your life.

In this episode of the Double Duty Agent Podcast, Carla breaks down the RISE of the Double Duty Agent framework and offers a clear, compassionate path forward for agents who want sustainable success. This is a highlight reel of the live RISE class and a powerful reset for anyone who feels like they are working hard but not seeing consistent results.

You will learn:

• Why inconsistency is a design issue, not a personal failure
• How fear quietly creates resistance and how to work with it instead of against it
• Why conversations are the true foundation of your real estate business
• How to use simple math to create clarity and realistic goals
• How to design your real estate schedule around your life, not the other way around
• The RISE Wheel of Consistency and the eight areas that support long-term momentum
• How weekly intentions activate consistency and protect your time
• What to do when life disrupts your plans so you do not lose momentum

This is not about doing more. It is about doing what actually works.

“You are not behind. You are not broken. You have been trying to succeed inside a system that was never designed for your life.”

This podcast is for the real estate agents building their dream life and business on their terms, especially if you’re working another job, raising a family, or starting fresh in a new season of life.

In this Coach’s Corner episode of the Double Duty Agent Podcast, Carla answers a powerful question from an Ignite After Dark student who recently moved to a new town and doesn’t yet have a local sphere of influence.

If you’ve ever worried that not knowing enough people locally puts you behind, this episode will bring you clarity, confidence, and a practical path forward.

You’ll learn:

• How to determine whether your database needs to be grown, nurtured, or both
• Simple, real-world ways to meet people and intentionally add them to your database
• Why your “old” sphere of influence is still fertile soil for referrals and business growth
• You are not starting from zero just because you moved
• Everyone already has a database, even if it’s not local yet
• Growth comes from meeting people intentionally and capturing contact information
• Business cards are not a system; relationships require follow-up and nurture
• Referral relationships with agents, vendors, and contractors are powerful and scalable
• Your existing friends, family, and past connections can still fuel your business
• Real estate follows the law of the harvest: plant, nurture, and trust the process

You have set the goals. Now it is time for the reality check. This episode helps you turn intention into a clear, aligned plan that actually fits your life.

This podcast is for real estate agents building their business alongside a full life and often another career. In this episode of the Double Duty Agent Podcast, Carla walks you through a New Year reset that goes beyond goal setting.

If you have ever set goals with excitement only to lose momentum a few weeks later, this episode is for you. Carla breaks down why clarity matters more than motivation, how to give your goal getter clear instructions, and why your weekly actions matter more than your annual intentions.

You will learn:

How to check whether your goals truly fit your real life, schedule, and energy

Why clarity, not time, is the biggest constraint for most double duty agents

How to reverse engineer your goals into weekly conversations and appointments

What needs to change if last year’s actions did not produce last year’s results

How to move from good intentions to a simple, executable plan

This is not a hype episode. It is a grounded coaching conversation designed to help you stop guessing and start moving forward with confidence.

You do not need more time. You need fewer, clearer priorities.

Does your goal getter have clear instructions, or are you relying on hope and motivation to carry you through the year?

Before you set another goal or move into the next season, this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and honor how far you have come so your growth can feel sustainable instead of exhausting.

This podcast is for real estate agents building their business alongside work, family, and life. In this final episode of the Essentials series and the final episode before the holiday break, we slow things down on purpose.

Celebration and reflection are often the most skipped essentials, yet they are the key to preventing burnout and reinforcing confidence. In this episode, Carla walks you through why pausing matters, how to recognize progress beyond closings and income, and how to use reflection to turn experience into wisdom instead of self-judgment.

This episode closes the loop on the eight essentials by helping you integrate what you have built rather than rushing into what is next.

You’ll learn:

• Why celebration and reflection are essential, not optional
• How skipping this step leads to burnout and disconnection
• How to recognize wins that are not tied to results or income
• The difference between reflection and self-criticism
• How tracking supports neutral, useful reflection
• Why adjustment is about refinement, not starting over
• A simple three step celebration and reflection practice you can use quarterly or yearly
• How to move into the holidays with permission to rest and be present

This episode is not about doing more. It is about honoring progress, integrating growth, and closing the year with intention.

Celebration is not indulgent. Reflection is not self-indulgent. They are how your nervous system learns that effort is safe and worthwhile.

What are three things you did this year that you are proud of, even if no one else saw them?

Feeling pulled in every direction during the holidays? This Coach’s Corner episode will help you stay connected, intentional, and in momentum without burning out or sacrificing what matters most.

This podcast is for the real estate agents building their dream life and business on their terms, especially if you’re working another job, raising a family, or carrying multiple responsibilities at once.

In this episode of the Double Duty Agent Podcast, Carla reframes the holiday season as a relationship season, not a production season. You’ll learn how to protect your momentum by focusing on intentional conversations and contact information, instead of overworking or disappearing completely.

You’ll learn:

• Why the holidays are a powerful time for connection, not pressure
• How setting a clear intention keeps opportunities from passing you by
• Where everyday real estate conversations naturally show up during the holidays
• Why conversations plus contact information create momentum for January and beyond
• How to release guilt and trust that small, consistent actions compound

This isn’t just content. This is coaching. Let’s go.

If you do not set the intention, the moment will pass you by.

Where can you be more intentional this week about starting a conversation or collecting contact information?

If consistency feels hard and results feel unpredictable, this episode will show you how tracking and accountability work together to create calm, sustainable momentum in your Double Duty business.

This podcast is for the real estate agents building their dream life and business on their terms, especially if you are working another job, raising a family, or doing it all at once. In this episode of the Double Duty Agent Podcast, we return to the Essentials series and focus on Essentials 6 and 7: Tracking and Accountability.

You have already built the foundation with your why, your schedule, your goals, your plan, and your systems. Now it is time to talk about how you know if those things are actually working. Tracking gives you clarity. Accountability gives you consistency. Together, they help your business feel grounded instead of emotional and intentional instead of reactive.

You’ll learn:

• Why tracking and accountability must work together
• The GPS analogy and how tracking answers the question “Are we there yet?”
• The difference between lead measures and lag measures
• The two most important lead measures every agent should track: conversations and appointments
• Other actions you may track based on your GPS and 4-1-1, including texts, database growth, social engagement, open houses, and door knocking
• Why starting small with tracking creates more consistency than trying to track everything
• How accountability reduces decision fatigue and helps you follow through when energy is low

This episode is about replacing guessing with clarity and self-criticism with adjustment. You do not need more motivation. You need better information and the right support.

You do not control closings, but you absolutely control the number of conversations you have and the number of appointments you schedule.

What would change in your business if you consistently tracked your conversations and appointments for the next four weeks and reviewed them with curiosity instead of judgment?

You’ll walk away with grounded confidence and a sustainable path forward.

You’ll learn:

• Why being a Double Duty Agent is your reality, not a liability
• How to question the belief that clients expect 24/7 availability
• A simple way to communicate your schedule with confidence
• What clients truly want from you
• How setting expectations and building systems supports both your business and your life

This isn’t just content. This is coaching. Let’s go.

Your clients don’t need you all the time. They need clarity about when you’re available and what happens if something urgent comes up.

What came up for you in this episode? What’s one small, meaningful action you can take today to set clearer expectations with your clients?
