Episode Summary

Krisstina welcomes entrepreneur, realtor, podcaster, and author, Karen Briscoe. Karen is Principal of the Huckaby Briscoe Conroy Group (HBC), one of the most successful real estate firms in Virginia. Perhaps most impressive of all her accomplishments is the fact that she started her real estate career late in life, after her children went away to college. Her motivation and drive coupled with a positive mindset have proven to be vital to Karen’s success. Karen believes that achieving business success can be accomplished through small steps taken each day. She expresses these views and shares tips and advice through the 5 Minute Success Podcast and her book Success in 5 Minutes a Day.

In this episode, Krisstina and Karen talk about the biggest mistakes variable income earners make that obstruct their ability to succeed financially. They dissect the reasons why some entrepreneurs have an aversion to business development and sales and how this can be detrimental to business growth. They also touch on the mindsets and habits required for big business success including the difference between scarcity thinking and abundancy thinking. Finally, Karen speaks to the importance of seizing the present moment and acting now to follow and accomplish your goals. If you are a real estate agent, broker, investor, freelancer, small business owner, or aspiring entrepreneur, this episode is a must-listen.
