What is the life or leadership advice you give most often?

1. DD: Definitely to always be learning and growing and open to new things. No matter how long we’ve been in business or leadership, there are always new ideas and way to grow. We can always improve and be seeking out ways to improve. I read a quote recently that said, When you stop learning, your slide into mediocrity has begun. The other piece of advice is to listen to your gut, that inside voice that is always right. Work on developing that voice. It will help keep you pointed in the right direction.)

2. Meghan: Know your “why”. I think people often want to get into leadership because it’s the next step for them in their career or they don’t want to do outbound sales, but it is so important to know your why and that may change over your career. Knowing your “why” will keep you motivated intrinsically. Additionally surrounding yourself with mentors and executing on their advice really helped me in my career.

Q1: Danielle, I am excited to introduce you to the community. Let’s start at the beginning… We would love to hear about your leadership journey. Please introduce yourself and share the key steps on your path that led you to become the version of you here with us today!

Q2: What was the first business you started/owned?

Unknown to me at the time, I started either the first, or one of the first, real estate blogs, in 2002 at the age of 23, called “SFhotlist”. At the time, the term “blog” had not yet entered the lexicon. There was no Curbed, SocketSite, Zillow, etc. SFhotlist.com was a one page HTML website with a graphic image of a blond girl standing in front of a real estate sign (my first client had drawn it for me and my colleague’s husband did the HTML page). What I did was go around to other agent’s listings and then go and write about them. I wrote about the lifestyle surrounding the property, more than than the property itself. Just a few sentences. No photos. And a disclaimer that I was not the listing agent and that the information was from the MLS. Then, I posted the sentences on Craigslist. Lo and behold, I attracted clients, mostly young tech professionals, and built my business post by post. Since then, online content creation has remained a key part of my business.

1. Shannon Malcom “Start where you stand!” It doesn’t matter where you’ve been or what has happened in your life, you can start where you stand and change the trajectory of your life and your families lives.

TODAY can be the start of something new or it can be a day to build, restore or heal! I get to choose! And I am the captain of my destiny.

Join us for a “Shine A Light on Her” with a leader so many love to follow, Rachel Adams Lee! We are circling UP for a conversation with Rachel about her leadership and life journey. Like many of us, Rachel wears many hats and is known for being a BOSS in each of them!

Rachel: I started my business door knocking $200 a week and doing three open house is a week. I didn’t sell any homes for the first four months. However, I was able to sell 39 homes my first year, and then 109, and then 123. In my third year in real estate, I had hit top 1000 agents in the country. While everything looked amazing on paper, I actually had gone through a really traumatic divorce, I was putting everybody else’s needs in front of my own, and I definitely did not have any work life balance. I went on a journey of self growth, and learned how to set boundaries with my clients, and Learn to love myself. I also decided that I wanted to pour into social media and so I created a business model around that! Last year I received 131 referrals just through social media. I am super passionate about helping my agents on my team, and other realtors around the country, build a life by design, and I launched a coaching company to do that.
