Together, we're redefining what it means, looks and feels like, to be doing "woman's work" in the world today. With confidence and the occasional rant. From boardrooms to studios, kitchens to coding dens, we explore the multifaceted experiences of today's woman, confirming that the new definition of "woman's work" is whatever feels authentic, true, and right for you. We're shedding expectations, setting aside the "shoulds", giving our finger to the "supposed tos". We're torching the old playbook and writing our own rules. Who runs the world? You decide.

What if you could reclaim an entire day of your week? Today, we’re breaking down how to take back your time, cut out unnecessary tasks, and create space for what truly matters—both in business and life. We’re sharing a powerful time-audit exercise to uncover where your time really goes, plus practical strategies like setting meeting limits, color coding your calendar, and learning the magic of saying "no." And here’s the game-changer—plan your playtime first, then work. Because your best ideas don’t come when you’re drowning in meetings.

259. Building a Hot Pink Empire: Ryan Major on Reinvention and Resilience 38:55

for 12 dager siden38:55

38:55

What happens when you mix Texas grit, a hot pink brand, and a relentless drive to succeed? You get Ryan Major. In this episode of Empire Building, Wendy Papazan sits down with Ryan to dive into her journey from growing up on a horse farm in Fredericksburg to building a real estate empire in Lindale, Texas. Ryan’s story is one of resilience and reinvention. She shares how the lessons she learned from showing horses—grit, perseverance, and a thick skin from being constantly judged—prepared her for the highs and lows of the real estate industry. She opens up about hitting burnout after running a brokerage for five years without any leverage, her struggle with alcoholism, and how a bold move to Keller Williams in 2020 (paired with a rebrand in hot pink) turned everything around. Through it all, she’s leaned on the power of community—especially the Her Best Life family—and shares how finding like-minded women helped her navigate the loneliness of ambition in a small town. Whether you're building a business or just need a reminder of the power of taking action (and course-correcting when needed), Ryan’s story is packed with inspiration, humor, and hard-won wisdom.

Growth isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a core value for us. But what happens when the growth stops? When you hit a plateau, when the numbers stall, when you start to wonder if you’re still the right leader for the job? We’ve been there. And we know how discouraging it can be. In today’s episode, we dive into the realities of stagnation and what to do when it feels like your empire isn’t growing. We’ll unpack the four P’s of growth—the formula that helped us move forward when we felt stuck.

257. Are Women Getting the Wrong Money Messages? 29:15

for 26 dager siden29:15

29:15

Let’s talk about the money messages women are getting—and why they might be holding us back. In this episode, we dig into the unconscious gender biases baked into financial advice. From AI-generated suggestions to the ways society raises boys and girls differently, it’s clear that women are often encouraged to play it safe while men are told to take risks, invest boldly, and build empires. We believe it’s time to rewrite those narratives. Building wealth as women requires more than saving and budgeting—it’s about stepping into our power, making bold decisions, and prioritizing financial literacy. Together, we’ll explore how to break down outdated norms, challenge our own biases, and build the big businesses and even bigger lives we deserve. Join us for this eye-opening conversation!

253. Execute Like an Empire Builder: 5 Steps to Achieve Your Big Goals 30:38

for 8 weeks siden30:38

30:38

Are you ready to turn your vision into action? Here's the deal: The second Friday in January is Quitter's Day—the day most people abandon their New Year's resolutions. Less than two weeks into the year, those big goals and optimistic plans often fall apart. Why does this happen? It's simple: people set the goal but skip the steps. Without executable strategies, even the best intentions fizzle out. In today's episode, we're diving deep into how to avoid the Quitter's Day trap. Whether it's your personal resolutions or big-picture business strategies, execution is the secret sauce. Execution means turning strategies into results—and while it sounds simple, it's far from easy. As empire builders, we know the struggle: You spend Q4 revisiting your vision, setting ambitious goals, and strategizing. But, like 80% of companies and countless individuals, you might find yourself falling short without the right steps in place. That's why we're breaking down five practical steps inspired by the book The 4 Disciplines of Execution by Franklin Covey. Plus, we've got a bonus empire builder step—because we always bring a little extra flavor to help you ensure success. Get ready for tactical advice, actionable strategies, and a fresh perspective to help you execute your goals like the empire builder you are.

Almost every business faces the same challenge: How do you convert live leads into successful sales? In real estate, we call these kinds of leads "sign calls." They're when someone calls you out of the blue to ask you a question about something you're selling. If you're prepared for these conversations, they can be absolute gold. We break down everything you need to know into three key sections: mindset shift, conversation framework, and follow-up systems. Remember: The primary goal is not to answer their questions. It's to establish trust, understand their needs, and guide them to the next step.
