My Entrepreneurship Journey:
Hi! Im Destiny if we haven't met yet, and I live in Alaska. Since I as 21 I've been self employed, and ran online or offline businesses. I've tried it all, learned a lot of hard lessons in sales, and I owe that to Real Estate. I was a Realtor for 2.5 years, and spent lots of time doing one thing - lead generating & prospecting. EXHAUSTING!! When you're a new agent trying to break into the market only a couple years after Covid in a rural area - it was not easy. I door knocked, I hustled, I was going door to door in negative temps (even with an allergy to the cold, yes!) And I did everything I could no matter the weather to get business going.
I did fairly well for a new agent with the average middle class priced retail homes, and I set out a delusional goal to get a million dollar listing. I thought, what makes those agents so different from me? Nothing! So I did the not so fun things to make it happen, including cold DMing FSBO folks on facebook market... yep, I was "that" agent! I had to be I had no choice if I wanted to reach my goal! Staying consistent and persistent, I was able to convert a FSBO that wanted nothing to do with agents, to not being able to resist my services as his listing agent. My FIRST listing as a solo agent was $1.2M! Crushed it.
Through out my short lived 2.5 yrs in real estate (it felt like 20yrs) I learned:
- I am really good at talking with strangers that wanted nothing to do with my offers.
- Consistency & Persistency leads to rewards.
- Show up as the professional you want to be and you'll attract what you want more of.
A lot of the education in high ticket remote sales is very very similar to what agents learn in real estate. 99% of the topics are the exact same, frameworks are similar, objectives, conversion rates in the industry, etc., so most of the trainings I am familiar with, and its a good refresher and reminder that I'm in the right place. I do believe in expansion and that you can learn anything from anyone no matter the level of experience. I am always looking for continuing lessons and education everywhere that can expand my capacity, due to being in Alaska unless I travel it's all online for me.
My goals?
- Start my own program & large scale company one day for women. Teach them high level skills that keep them self sufficient in any economy, building recession proof freedom based income.
- Write a few books, get on some podcasts, etc.
- Be a traveling remote closer and leave Alaska in the freezing below 0 temps during winter.
I can quantify those goals into numbers but I'll share those later.
Thanks for reading, glad to be here!
