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?

If you’ve ever wondered whether being open about your dual-career life will hurt your business or help it, this episode brings clarity and confidence to the conversation.

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 building it all at once.

In today’s Coach’s Corner, we explore a common mindset challenge: whether clients will take you seriously if they know you have another job. Inspired by a Facebook post shared with me (and a thank-you to former podcast guest Lori Dabbs Gayton for bringing it forward), we walk through this using the RISE Framework. 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?

If you feel like you are reinventing the wheel every time you sit down to work, this episode will show you how systems can create consistency, ease, and freedom 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 continue the Eight Essentials series with Essential Number 5: Systems.

You will learn why systems are not complicated or corporate, but simply repeatable routines that support you when life gets busy. We look at the systems you already use in everyday life and then walk through the specific systems every Double Duty Agent needs to grow a sustainable business. From lead generation and follow up to client care and money management, you will see how systems turn intention into execution and effort into momentum.

You will learn:

• Why Double Duty Agents do not struggle because of motivation, but because of missing structure
• How everyday habits like your morning routine are really systems in disguise
• Why your aligned schedule is your first business system
• The essential systems you need: lead generation, lead follow up, pipeline, appointments, client care, and money
• How systems protect your energy, time, and future closings
• What happens when you do not have systems, and how everything changes when you do

This is not about making your business rigid. It is about building structure that creates freedom and supports the life you want to live.

Systems do not take away your freedom. Systems create your freedom. They are the key to a business that fits in your life instead of one that takes over your life.

What is one system you can begin to build or improve this week that would make your business feel calmer, more consistent, and easier to run?

You don’t need bigger dreams - you need clearer targets. In this episode, we turn “I hope” into “I will” with goals your brain believes and your schedule can support.

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 building it all at once.

In this week’s episode of the Double Duty Agent Podcast, we continue the 8 Essentials series with Essential #3: Clear Business Goals. First, we briefly review Essential #1 (WHY, Purpose & Vision) and Essential #2 (Aligned Schedule) - because goals need both meaning and time to live. Then we dive into how to craft goals your Goal Setter (conscious designer) can communicate clearly - and your Goal Getter (subconscious executor) can actually fulfill.

You’ll learn:

• Why some goals stick (graduations, your license, first home) and New Year’s resolutions fade
• The Goal Setter vs. Goal Getter model—and why vague goals stall execution
• How clarity → confidence → consistency → results
• The SMART framework (Double Duty edition):
  • Specific: name the exact target
  • Measurable: turn effort into data and momentum
  • Action-based: focus on what you control daily
  • Realistic (Believable): language that signals commitment, not “try”
  • Time-bound: give your brain a finish line
• Planning for resistance (limiting stories & detours) so you keep moving

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

Your WHY gives you the reason. Your schedule gives you the structure. Your goals give you direction. Alignment is what makes success sustainable.

COACHING REFLECTION QUESTION: What’s one SMART goal you will commit to for the next 90 days? Write it, read it aloud, and adjust until both your Goal Setter and Goal Getter say “yes.”

• Catch up first: Essential #1 — WHY, Purpose & Vision
• Then: Essential #2 — An Aligned Schedule
• Get weekly tools & prompts: DoubleDutyPodcast.com
• Coming next week: Essential #4 — A Business Plan (your roadmap from vision to results)
