In the latest episode of the Return On Life Podcast, we're thrilled to have special guest Tamara Stone, a second-generation realtor renowned for her award-winning boutique brokerage, which she co-manages with her sister. Join us as Tamara takes us on a compelling journey, sharing her invaluable insights into the realms of real estate and personal development.

Tamara's career path wasn't always clear-cut. She takes us back to the pivotal moment when she decided to embark on a career in real estate. Her motivation stemmed from a desire for financial freedom and independence, where she didn't want a boss or an income ceiling. However, her initial attempt to mirror her parents and competitors led to zero sales and no paychecks. Faced with this challenge, she contemplated whether she should opt for a more traditional job. Ultimately, she chose to pivot and target a younger demographic, igniting the spark of her extraordinary journey.

Tamara offers a deep dive into the dynamics of real estate teams. She reveals a startling truth - many teams are unaware of their net income, and some are even making less than their assistants. While teams can provide a sense of camaraderie and support, they also come with the pressure of obligations and operating expenses, shedding light on the complexities of team dynamics in the real estate industry.

In this episode, Tamara delves into the intricate aspects of ego, personal relationships, and the paramount significance of self-improvement. She candidly shares a challenging period in her marriage, highlighting a pivotal moment when her sister posed a profound question: "Is there more good than bad?" When the answer was a resounding "yes," her sister's advice was to work on the good and communicate where it's not so good. This advice changed the directory of her marriage and ultimately her life.

Join us for this enlightening episode as Tamara Stone offers her unique perspective on real estate, personal growth, and the power of nurturing relationships.

Notable Quotes:

”I didn't used to let people in. I was so worried about being everything to everyone and being perfect - my house, my appearance, my business, everything and I wouldn't show any of those flaws or weaknesses or any of that”
