This episode is all about shifting gears before the calendar flips. I'm pulling back the curtain on what most agents get wrong in the last four months of the year—and how the top producers play a completely different game. If you've ever thought, “I'll just start fresh in January,” this episode is going to challenge that mindset. Because here's the truth: your Q1 closings don't start in January—they start now.I break down the 4 non-negotiables of a winning lead gen plan that will help you finish strong and stack momentum for your best year yet. We'll talk about:Why 25 conversations a day is still the timeless formula for closingsHow to treat daily lead gen as a system (not wishful thinking)Database discipline—turning your CRM from a junk drawer into a gold mineWhy “CEO Mondays” can completely change how you lead your weekAnd I'll share the exact mindset shift that separates agents who stay stuck in hustle mode from CEOs who build machines that generate leads on autopilot.

Freedom in business doesn't come from stacking closings—it comes from changing how you run your business. In this episode of The Raquel Show, I dive into the real drivers of sustainable success: community and systems.I share why the biggest breakthroughs rarely happen alone, how the right room of peers can collapse time, and why systems are the true path to freedom. From lead generation and client experience to revenue routines and financial clarity, I break down how systems shift you from being stuck in the grind to stepping fully into your role as CEO.If you've ever thought, “Once I hit X deals, then I'll have freedom,” this episode will change the way you see your business.✨ Things I Cover in This Episode:Why freedom doesn't come after success—it's built along the wayThe multiplying effect of community and accountabilityThe systems every agent needs to finally reclaim their timeReal examples of agents who scaled without sacrificing lifestyleHow the Agent to CEO Accelerator is giving agents leverage now
Hey mamas, Today we're flipping the script on one of the most overused (and misunderstood) phrases out there: work-life balance. For years, we've been told to picture balance like a scale… work on one side, life on the other, perfectly even. But here's the problem: that image sets us up for guilt, burnout, and disappointment. Because your job should never weigh the same as your entire life. In this episode, I share a fresh perspective I use with my coaching clients: balancing stones. Instead of a scale, picture those beautiful stacks of rocks you see at the beach or on a hike. Each stone is a different size and shape… some massive, some tiny. And yet, when carefully placed, they create something stable and beautiful. That's what balance actually looks like. Not equal weight, but intentional placement. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✨ Why the traditional idea of work-life balance doesn't work (and what to do instead) ✨ How to identify your personal “stones”… the roles and values that matter most in your life ✨ Which stones belong at the foundation of your stack (hint: it's not work or house chores) ✨ Why health and self-care aren't selfish extras but essential stabilizers ✨ The small, everyday stones that bring the biggest joy and stability ✨ Three practical ways to keep your “stack” from wobbling or crashing down Episode Highlights: The Foundation Stone: Why family, health, and core values should anchor your life. The Big Stones: Work, marriage, spirituality, passions, and house maintenance… and how to keep them in their proper place. The Small Stones: Why little moments (like a walk, coffee with a teen, or a bedtime story) often bring the most stability. 3 Tips for Balance: Rebuild regularly, check your base, and accept the wobble. My Challenge for You: Grab a notebook and write down your stones. Which ones are the biggest? Which is your foundation? Where do you need to restack? Because balance isn't about perfection… it's about intention. And when you choose your stones with care, you can build a life that's stable, beautiful, and uniquely yours.

What if the most powerful leadership skill isn't about what you say, but how deeply you listen? Julian Treasure, five-time TED speaker and author of Sound Affects, returns to The Leadership Project with a bold warning: the world's listening is fading, and the consequences are enormous. Miscommunication costs organizations trillions, yet only 8% of employees believe their leaders are good listeners.Listening isn't just hearing — it's a conscious skill shaped by culture, experience, and belief. Treasure shares practical tools like the PAVE method (Paraphrase, Admit, Validate, Empathize) to help leaders bridge divides and create real understanding. In today's noisy world of constant alerts and distractions, the ability to listen with presence has never been more vital.True breakthroughs happen in two places: deep, mutual listening or in silence. For leaders who want to inspire trust, boost engagement, and deliver results, mastering conscious listening may be the highest-leverage skill of all. Are you ready to move beyond hearing to truly understanding?

✨ What New Orleans Taught Me About Living Intentionally ✨ New Orleans is a city with soul. Its rich history, resilience after Katrina, the music spilling into the streets, the food meant to be savored, and the magic of second line parades—all of it carries lessons on how to live life more fully.

From savoring your morning coffee to saying yes to something new, my hope is that this episode inspires you to slow down, romanticize your life, and let the ordinary become extraordinary.

Here's the truth: “Getting paid to be you” has been sold to us like it's the holy grail of freedom. But here's the part no one tells you—it can just as easily become another performance trap. Another hustle. Another way of proving instead of actually living.In this episode, I'm walking you through the alchemy of dethroning this shiny mantra and what it really takes to feel free in your work and your life. Spoiler: it's not more courses, more clients, more followers, or another spiritual playbook for success.We're getting into:Why chasing more never gets you where you think it will.How my business went from defining me… to simply being what I do.The subtle but powerful difference between branding yourself and becoming yourself.The dance between survival mode, choice points, and actual maturity.And yes—a story about Benji, pasta, parmesan, and salt (because you know I can't leave out the messy, human parts).If you've been trying to “make it work” by being more visible, more polished, more everything… this one's for you. Because the alchemical approach to getting paid to be you isn't about performing harder. It's about slowing down, purifying what's in the way, and finally becoming the version of you who can walk through the right doors.Listen with your body, not just your mind. Something new wants to move through you.Send us a message and let us know what you love about this episodeImportant Links: www.Megthompson.com Attuned - CLICK HERE Let's Connect on Instagram - CLICK HERE
