What do I want, really? I want to learn with women that use their past stories as tools to propel them into the life they want. I want to grow with women who know that not every day can be good, or easy, or joyful... but that you get to choose your response to life’s obstacles. I want to work with women who see the goodness in community and know they never have to go it alone. I want to spend time with women who choose themselves and their dreams as the foundation for the paths they take. I want to laugh with women who start as strangers and become friends. 📸: @rachaelhouserphoto 
I was reminded of this quote this morning and have been rolling it around in my head all day. The whole quote reads, “there is time enough for everything, in the course of the day, if you do but one thing at once; but there is not enough time in the year, if you will do two things at a time.” It’s by Philip Stanhope. He also said, “Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it.” and, “Patience is the most necessary quality for business.” Now, I don’t know about you, but in my world, patience is hard to come by. I always want to try it all, learn it all, master is all. But that’s the trouble, isn’t it? Grasping for perfection at every little thing robs us of the joy of truly experiencing it. We won’t be a 6-figure earner over night. We won’t build a massive email list, or book out our membership program, or sell all of our products when we’re spreading ourselves so thin trying to make it all happen at the same time. This weekend, I’m going to reflect on the ways I truly want to utilize my time. I’ll consider what brings me actual, tangible happiness and ease. And I’ll do one thing at a time. With patience. Will you join me? 
The shift in believing that life is happening *to* you vs. believing that life is what happens around you, is when you start to experience true freedom. Life will always pop up and give you a kick in the butt (like your computer crashing and losing five hours worth of work... oops). How you respond to those moments is a choice you have complete control over. Anger or humor, meltdown or shake it off, jealousy or inspiration. What will you choose? — Essay behind graphic by @briannawiest.

What an exciting few weeks it's been! We recently launched our new website (hooray!) AND this sleek new brand for @elevatehome.realestate. This project has been a long one, as our client, Anna has been with us for a deep dive in our signature experience, Novel. For branding it was important to bring forward Anna's identity as Designated Broker for her completely new brokerage. Keeping that in mind, we worked through the Novel experience by: 01. Using coaching to uncover key personality traits to highlight in her branding and bring vision to her dream. 02. After changing her brokerage name to Elevated Home, we used strategy to craft her brand identity around her strengths while keeping the system light enough to be flexible for added team members. 03. We worked as her creative partners to totally reimagine her website, marketing materials, photography and other collateral. 04. We were able to test our solutions during our time together when she hired an agent and manager as her first team members, eventually providing launch guidance for putting this dream out there! Check out @elevatehome.realestate and congratulate Anna on bringing her vision to life!
