Hey there real estate agents! Have I got an episode for you that's guaranteed to help you grow your business? I'm Mike Mills, your trusty host, and in this episode, we have a special guest who's going to share some incredible tips and practices on how to maximize your sphere.

Joining me today is the incredible Lesley Stegmeier, the broker for Stegmire Realty in Fort Worth. Lesley has an impressive background as an agent and successfully started her own brokerage. Trust me, her expertise is exactly what you need to take your business to the next level.

Now, before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let's talk lighting. Lesley and I had a little mishap with the lighting, but hey, it's all part of the fun! And speaking of fun, we're going to touch on Lesley's recovery journey, because let's face it, the real estate industry can be stressful, and it's important to hear how others have navigated their way through.

Lesley's story starts in accounting, where she quickly realized that it wasn't the career path for her. She craved something that combined people and numbers, and that's when she made the courageous decision to pursue real estate. We'll discuss how Lesley went from being a massage therapist to finding her true passion.

One key insight you'll gain from this episode is the power of working your personal sphere. Lesley will share helpful strategies on how to leverage your existing relationships to generate business. After all, who knows you better than the people who already trust and like you?

We'll tackle topics like building your network, messaging potential clients on social media, and creating a solid database that will be instrumental in your success. Lesley shares her own experiences and even spills some secrets on her top strength, which is winning others over.

But we're not just about business strategies here. We like to have some fun too! Lesley opens up about her Christmas client event, complete with a professional photographer and a Neiman Marcus Santa. Trust me, it's a non-crowded setting where your clients can get their Christmas card photos done and enjoy some quality time with Santa.
