If you’ve been around me for more than five minutes, you know I love this time of year. Goal-setting season is basically my Super Bowl. It’s when we get to pause just long enough to zoom out, get honest with ourselves, and decide what kind of life and business we want to build heading into the new year.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been deep in planning mode myself — mapping out 2026, revisiting what worked (and what seriously didn’t), and leaning into the frameworks that help me stay grounded and motivated. Between Tom Ferry’s Ultimate Success Formula, daily mindset work, and my own sketchnotes from years of conferences, this is the season where things start to click into place.
So if you’re an agent who wants to set better goals, create more clarity, and build a business you’re actually excited to run — here are the exact tools and resources I shared in my latest agent newsletter.

⭐ Books I’ve Been Reading (and Loving)
If you’re looking to grow as a leader, sharpen your habits, or just stay grounded during the wild ride of real estate, these three books have been shaping my mindset lately:
1. Ninja Selling — Larry Kendall
A classic for a reason. This book breaks down how to build a relationship-based business instead of a pressure-based one. It’s all about creating value, mastering your daily habits, and showing up with service first.
2. The Slight Edge — Jeff Olson
This is the book that explains why the “little things” matter so much. The whole idea: tiny daily actions — the ones that feel almost too simple — compound into massive results over time. It’s a game-changer for consistency.
3. We Can Do Hard Things — Glennon Doyle
Not a real estate book, but holy heck does it hit. It dives into resilience, emotional honesty, boundaries, and doing the uncomfortable things that help us grow. It’s raw, real, and a powerful reminder that personal growth directly impacts business growth.
