This bittersweet episode is my goodbye (for now)! BUT good news is, my podcast days aren't over. They're just evolving. In today's episode, I share why I decided to start a completely new podcast (& why it has a different name), why / how I believe going ALL IN on a niche is the most effective way to grow and how I'm staying rooted to my ultimate mission. The Marketing Bar has been one of my greatest joys (and accomplishments) and I'm so grateful for my listeners. I hope you join in my conversations over on Modern Agent Marketing Girls. I can't wait for everything to come and I hope to be back at the (marketing) bar soon! XOXO, Chelsea

GLASS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP: There’s one thing that no one tells you about starting, building, and running a business… THAT IT’S HARD! That it takes work. That there’s no super secret, magic wand to wave to have a wildly successful business appear out of thin air. And as much as I hate to be the one to tell you - building a business isn’t easy. It takes showing up - even when it feels like, “None of this is working! What’s the point?” It’s taking a hard look at things, putting yourself out there, and continuing to show up even when the going gets tough!

GLASS OF MARKETING: CONTENT THAT SHOWS, NOT TELLS What if talking about your business on social media was fun and came naturally instead of feeling awkward and salesy? What if your captions were like mini letters typed DIRECTLY to your dream real estate clients and your graphics painted a picture of your personality and what it’s like to work with you instead of looking like the real estate handbook you had to study to get your license? What if your marketing actually felt like you, sounded like you and looked like you so that people actually WANT TO WORK WITH YOU.?

GLASS OF MARKETING: “It’s good to be better. But it’s better to be different.” -Sally Hogshead In this episode, I’m talking about why being different is better than ‘out-doing’ your competition. Because too often we look at other people in our industry and try to replicate what they do. Whether it's a reel they posted, their branding, or simply trying to replicate the success they have. Instead of looking outward, what if we turned into ourselves? And focused on what we like, what we’re good at, and who we are to attract our right fit clients. Instead of trying to be better, let’s be different! The only thing you have to do to be different - BE YOURSELF. MARKETING BAR INSTAGRAM MARKETING BAR SHOW NOTES THE WEEKLY SIP

GLASS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP: When is the last time you did this? We’ve all got it. The countless screenshots of genius ideas that you stumbled upon, saved and swore you would get back to. Yet, they’re still floating around in your camera roll - untouched and unimplemented. Or the folder in your inbox with dozens of unopened emails from yourself as a reminder of an idea you want to infuse into your biz. But when do you sit down to actually take the time to do it? When do you organize these scatterbrained thoughts and ideas and put them into action? For me, it was at our recent Modern Agent Social Club team retreat (complete with chips & guac, pedicures, and Friends playing in the background). Press play on this episode for a behind the scenes look at the MASC team retreat and how you can schedule a mini retreat for your business to get organized & put your ideas into action!

GLASS OF MARKETING: In a barn, on a yoga mat with string lights and a wobbly tree pose Raise your hand if you've ever felt like social media is a performance... The dancing, the reels editing, the creativity It can feel like everytime we press publish on a post or hit record to make a reel, we're auditioning for the next season of America's Next Top Instagram-er And that constant pressure - to entertain, to try and stand out, to make sure our content nails it every single time and looks different from the 19,876 people ALSO using that same trending reel audio - it's really draining While I balanced (or wobbled) in my tree pose in a recent yoga class, the teacher said something that stuck with me... Hit play on today's episode for a breath of fresh air when it comes to your social media .. a message I think James Clear would approve of - Here's why: Right after recording this episode I got James Clear's weekly newsletter and here's a quote from inside: "Start with the thing you are most motivated to do. Start with a small habit you think is fun and do it consistently. This will not only feel satisfying, but will open your eyes to the type of person you can become. After the first domino falls, you can use the momentum to do a little more." -James Clear Listen to today's episode to see what I mean :) MARKETING BAR INSTAGRAM MARKETING BAR SHOWNOTES GET THE WEEKLY SIP
