Every-other-week summer schedule

The truly inspiring Amanda Baker, a real estate agent from Durham, North Carolina, who is achieving incredible success in her business, joins Eric Thompson here today. Tackling the question so many of us ask: "How can I do it all?", Amanda shares her proven strategies for generating consistent high-volume sales in an ever-changing market, all while maintaining a rich and present family life. She also provides invaluable advice on how consistent routines are the secret to balancing a thriving real estate career with personal priorities, proving you do not have to sacrifice one for the other.

In this insightful conversation, Amanda details the brilliant "every other week" schedule she created to maximize quality time with her children during the summer without letting her business skip a beat. She explains her philosophy of "doubling down" on focused work periods, which allows for greater freedom and flexibility. A key to her success is running her business like a business by planning her entire year of autoflow, including client events, pop-bys, and newsletters, well in advance. This proactive approach eliminates stress, creates seamless client experiences, and provides the structure needed to build a life by design, not by default.

Episode Highlights:

• Balance family and work with an "every other week" system.

• Proactively plan a year of marketing and client events.

• Maximize productivity by "doubling down" on focused work.

• Build relationships with newsletters, pop-bys, and events.

• Set client boundaries while providing excellent service.

• Use structure and foresight for sustainable success.

• Build a rewarding life, not just a busy career, with Ninja principles.

Key Takeaways:

"The goal at end-of-year business planning is to not have to think about it for the rest of the year, honestly."

"I rarely have a perfect Ninja week... It's about the consistency of doing the Ninja things."

"You actually can do this. You can have a life. You can have quality time doing the things you want to do with the people you want to do them with and continue to run a successful business."

"You're listening to someone who is running her business like a business."

"You're never scrambling or going, 'Oh, it's too late now. We'll catch it next month.'"

"Even a text reminder will just kind of start a conversation... and kind of again, start the F.O.R.D. from there."

"If you have a plan and a process, you can structure your life, your business just how you want it."
