Are Your Life And Business Out Of Alignment?

At the start of the Strategic Vision Workshop, that I am hosting inside my group coaching program, The Elevated Agent Collective, I introduced the “7 E’s of Alignment” – a self-assessment designed to help you tune into where you are and where you need to be. In this first session, “Reflect & Refine,” we dug deep into what the past year has taught us, so we can elevate our visions for 2025.

My Personal 10X Vision

Before diving into the 7 E’s, I want to share my own 10X vision with you. My goal is to support real estate agents, especially women, to overcome the challenges I faced in the early years of my career. I want to elevate the industry’s image to reflect the exceptional service we provide and create a business that allows me to live and work from anywhere – ideally, the mountains of Colorado once my kids are grown.

To achieve this, alignment is essential for my life and business. But how do we know if we’re truly aligned in both areas?

7 E’s of Alignment:

  1. ExaminationHow often is my body expressing harmony with my inner world? This involves tuning into your physical health as a reflection of inner peace. When your body is at ease, it’s often a sign that your goals and actions align with your values.
  2. EnergyHow often is my energy level consistent throughout the day? Pay attention to how you feel throughout the day. Are you energized or fatigued? Energy alignment is key to productivity and engagement.
  3. EnthusiasmHow often am I excited to connect with new and existing people? Connecting with others – clients, team members, or mentors – is essential in real estate. If you lack enthusiasm, it may signal a need for realignment.
  4. EscapismHow frequently am I fully engaged with life and my business? Ask yourself: are you immersed in your work and personal life, or merely getting through the day? Full engagement means showing up fully in each moment, rather than “escaping” into autopilot mode.
  5. EnjoymentHow often am I truly enjoying the things I do throughout my day? Joy is a powerful metric of alignment. When you genuinely enjoy your daily tasks, you’re more likely to sustain them and find fulfillment.
  6. ExerciseHow often am I prioritizing my health and exercising as much as I should? Your physical health directly impacts your mental and emotional well-being. When you prioritize health, you show up stronger in all areas of life.
  7. EtherealismHow often am I making time for spirituality, meditating, praying, etc.? Making space for spirituality helps you stay grounded. Whether through meditation, prayer, or time in nature, connecting with something beyond yourself can foster clarity and purpose.

Weekly Check-Ins: Staying on Track:

These 7 E’s aren’t just for one-time reflection. Weekly check-ins help keep you aligned as you progress toward your goals. Tracking these metrics lets you catch misalignments early and make adjustments as needed.

Ranking Your Alignment:

For each 7 E’s give yourself a ranking of 1-3

1: Never 2: Sometimes 3: Always

Then, you’ll have your “score of the week”

7-11 Misaligned 12-16 Moderate 17-24 Aligned

Remember: Your business development will never outpace your personal development. When you prioritize alignment, you’re not just creating an ideal business – you’re becoming the ideal person who attracts ideal opportunities.

If you’re an agent that is needing a TRANSFORMATION in both your life & buisness, then you need to join my group coaching program, The Elevated Agent Collective! I know that if building a wildly successful real estate empire on my terms, without sacrificing my sanity or abandoning who I am has been possible for me, it is absolutely possible for you.
