Let’s be honest: when was the last time you checked if your business systems were actually working?

This week, we’re giving y’all a special sneak peek into one of our monthly Hustle Humbly Community live calls, and this one was just too good to keep to ourselves. We did a full systems audit together and broke down the four core systems every Realtor needs to run a smooth, sustainable business.

Whether you’re overwhelmed by tech, struggling to follow up, or just wondering why things feel so clunky, this episode will help you figure out what needs to grow, and what needs to go.

Here’s what we covered:

• The 4 core systems in every real estate business
  
  

• What a working system actually looks like
  
  

• Why simple systems are the hardest to teach (and the most effective!)
  
  

• How to know if your system is broken or just neglected
  
  

• Our favorite tips for tidying up your email, follow-up, and database
  
  

We’re also sharing tools, strategies, and examples from real community members who joined us live—plus some laughs, real-life solutions, and that signature Hustle Humbly encouragement.

If your systems feel like a cluttered mess, come hang out with us for a little systems clean-up. ✨

Upcoming Community Live: Thursday, July 24 at 1pm Central

Ever had a mentor who ghosted you? Or a mentee who treated you like tech support? If so, you are in the right place!

This week we’re chatting about all things mentorship — the good, the bad, and the absolutely awkward. From horror stories of mentors who used their mentees as free labor, to sweet tales of life-changing support, we’ve got it all. And we’re not just telling our stories. Y’all sent in nearly 100 responses about your own mentor/mentee experiences — and we read every single one.

We dive into:

• How to find (or become) a great mentor
  
  

• What mentees get wrong (and how to fix it)
  
  

• Why boundaries matter more than ever
  
  

• How to know when you’re ready for a mentee
  
  

• Tips for respecting time, energy, and expertise
  
  

• What NOT to ask your mentor (hint: Google it first)

• Alissa’s story about “Workshop Wednesday”
  
  

We also chat about how mentorship evolves as you grow in your career, and why sometimes your “mentor” is really just your go-to industry friend.

Whether you're craving guidance or feeling burnt out from giving too much of it, this one’s packed with real talk and helpful insights. Mentorship doesn’t have to be messy. Let’s get it right!

If you're feeling inspired (or exhausted) by your own mentor experience, send us a DM and let us know what resonated with you the most!

💬 Key Quotes/Takeaways

1. “Your mentor isn’t tech support. If there’s a tutorial for it, start there.” —Alissa
   
   

2. “Mentorship only works when there’s mutual effort and respect.” —Katy
   
   

3. “Don’t treat your mentee like your assistant — unless they are your assistant.” —Katy
   
   

4. “Sometimes the most powerful mentors are the ones you never officially asked for.” —Alissa
   
   

5. “If you’re asking five people the same question, you’re not looking for an answer — you’re avoiding action.” —Katy

Feeling stuck in a saturated market and unsure how to stand out as a Realtor? You’re going to love this one!

This week we are chatting with the brilliant Tori Sprankel, a brand and web designer with a gift for helping entrepreneurs (especially parents!) uncover what makes them different. If you’ve ever wondered how to figure out your brand, what to post on social, or how to build confidence online—this episode is packed with gold.

Tori shares her hot take that Realtors should stop selling houses and start selling lifestyle. That one shift in thinking opens up a world of content ideas and opportunities to actually enjoy showing up online. Whether you're the mom who knows all the best playground coffee shops or the go-to relocation expert, Tori shows you how to define your lane and make it magnetic.

We also talk about:

• Why your personal brand is an overlap of your interests and your audience’s

• How to show up consistently (hint: it’s not about logos or fonts)

• Tips for easing into video when you’re nervous

• The power of “warm hellos” in stories

• Why you need to follow creators outside of real estate

• The content that works without being on social media

You’ll walk away from this one with tangible tips, fresh inspiration, and most importantly—permission to be you.
