What if it turns out better than you imagined?
After more than 20 years in business, I’d be lying if I told you I don’t still get scared.
I do.
I have fears.
I second-guess myself. I get uncomfortable.
But there’s also a part of me that keeps asking…
What if?
What if this is exactly what I’ve been wanting?
What if the uncomfortable part is actually pulling me into my next chapter?
I’m entering an era where I’m willing to explore new things.
Say yes to things that scare me.
Build things I’ve never built before.
And give myself permission to want something different.
Because I know my kids are watching.
I can’t keep telling them to play bigger, bet on themselves, and go after what they really want if I’m not willing to do the same.
Maybe courage isn’t about not being scared.
Maybe it’s being scared and going anyway.
Because I’d rather find out what’s on the other side than look back one day and wonder what would’ve happened if I had gone for it.
So instead of asking…
What if it doesn’t work?
I’m asking:
What if it turns out even better than I imagined?
Do it anyways my friend! 🚀

You never regret showing up for the people who matter.
48 hours in Chicago celebrating my friend and partner @vickysilvano1 as she made history in being the first Filipina to be the Chicago Association of Realtors president. We are so grateful for your leadership in this industry.
But this trip was really about showing up.
Showing up for people who have shown up for you.
Celebrating the people you love when they win.
Making time for relationships that have lasted through different seasons.
And pouring into people whenever you have the opportunity.
There will always be another meeting, another goal, another thing to chase.
But some of the best parts of this journey are relationships and the people you meet along the way.

I’m learning that saying yes to every opportunity isn’t the same as growing it might be the opposite.
As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to confuse capacity with alignment.
Just because you can build it, lead it, fix it or make it work doesn’t mean it deserves your time.
Every yes costs something:
time, energy, focus, presence or freedom.
So in this season, I’m asking a better question:
If I say yes to this, what am I saying no to?
Not everything good belongs in this season. 🤍

Doing this #80trend brought me back to the aqua net days and it also made me think about what I would say to my younger self.
Dear Raquel,
You don’t need everyone to like you.
This ’80s trend took me back to my school years.
Watching Saved by the Bell and wanting that friend group. Being involved in student government and sports, having different circles of friends, and still wondering where I fit.
I thought being popular meant you’d always be invited.
I wanted friendships that felt real, and I had big dreams I was still figuring out.
Here’s what I’d tell that girl:
Keep putting yourself in rooms. Meet different people. Let them get to know the real you, including how ambitious you are.
You can be a good friend without trying to be everyone’s favorite.
Go after the life you want, and make time for the people you love. There’s room for both. 🤍

Looking back at August, I realized how many of these moments almost didn’t happen because I almost talked myself out of them.
I couldn’t even get on a flight home at one point.
I questioned the timing.
I overthought more than I probably needed to.
But somewhere along the way, I stopped trying to have it all figured out and just went for it.
Funny enough, those ended up being some of the best parts of the month.
I think we spend so much time waiting to feel ready or to have clarity when sometimes you just need to put yourself in the room and see what happens.
August was a good reminder of that.
Go. Do the thing. Adjust if you need to.
Get in the room. Take on the opportunity.
You never know what can come from it.

Some people learn AI.
And some people INSTALL AI.
Yesterday, we had solo agents, team owners + brokerage owners in one room doing exactly that.
Not chasing the newest tool.
Not collecting prompts.
Not trying to become AI experts.
We started with the BUSINESS.
Where are you the bottleneck?
What’s eating up your team’s time?
Where are you losing opportunities?
What could operate faster, better or more profitably?
Then, we packed the day with 8 Installs!
That’s the difference.
I’ve spent years inside different business models, strategizing every single week with business owners who are actively scaling.
And one thing I know:
You don’t need more AI information. You need to know where AI belongs in YOUR business.
Because the goal isn’t to get better at AI.
The goal is to use AI to build a better business.
And the conversations happening in that room yesterday? 🔥
This is where things are going.
These people were committed to travel in the heat and get this done.
Want to be in the room for our Business AI program and scale your business. DM “🤖” and we will get you details.

As entrepreneurs, we’re always preparing for what’s next.
The next week. The next goal. The next opportunity.
But yesterday reminded me:
Don’t get so busy building the life you want that you miss the life you already have.
The work will still be there.
This season with your kids won’t always be. ❤️
