If you’re a real estate agent working hard but struggling with inconsistent closings, this episode is for you. In a shifting real estate market, the agents who are still closing homes consistently aren’t just doing different things — they’re thinking differently. And that mindset shift is often the difference between agents who keep growing and agents who quietly pull back when results slow.
In Part 2 of this 5-part series, real estate agent business coach Vanessa Franz Barnes breaks down the mindset patterns successful six-figure real estate agents use to stay consistent, focused, and in action — even when deals fall apart, buyers pause, or the market feels heavy.
This episode will help you recognize how your internal dialogue impacts your follow-up, your confidence, and your consistency — and how to stay anchored in the actions that actually lead to more closings.
Key takeaways from this episode:
Why successful real estate agents don’t let the market define their confidence or identity
How negative thought patterns quietly slow momentum and follow-up
The mindset gap that causes agents to hesitate, overthink, and pull back
Why tracking numbers shows what needs to change — but mindset determines whether you follow through
A practical 3-step mindset reset you can use immediately
This Week’s Action Exercise:
For the next 7 days, when you notice hesitation or overthinking, ask yourself:
What just happened? Stick to facts only.
What story am I telling myself about it? Notice it without judgment.
What’s the next action I can take today that moves my business forward? One follow-up. One conversation. One lead generation action — then do it.
This is how six-figure real estate agents protect momentum and stay in control of their business.
Make sure you follow so you don’t miss Part 3 where we are shifting into lead generation and breaking down what six-figure agents are actually focusing on in this market (and what they’ve stopped doing).

If you’re a real estate agent struggling with inconsistent closings in this shifting market, this episode is your roadmap. Market slowdowns expose a real gap between agents who continue closing consistently and agents who don’t. But the good news? You can close that gap — and this 5-part series will show you how.
In today’s episode, real estate coach Vanessa Franz Barnes, who has sold over 1,000 homes through multiple market shifts, breaks down why some agents still grow in challenging markets — and the exact adjustments you need to make if you want consistent $10–$20K+ months as a profitable real estate agent.
You’ll learn:
• Why a shifting market does NOT mean fewer closings
• How today’s buyer/seller behavior impacts your results
• Why fundamentals matter even more in this market
• The new ratios you need to understand to stay competitive
• How to track your numbers so you can adjust with intention
• Why data — not emotion — must guide your business right now
• The first big shift every 6-figure agent is making
If you’re watching other agents close consistently and wondering, “What are they doing that I’m not?” this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been missing. You’ll understand exactly how to evaluate what the market is doing, how that impacts your business, and how to pivot your approach so you stay in momentum instead of falling into the stop-start cycle.
This Week’s Action Step: Track these three numbers every day for the next 7 days:
Conversations

If you’re a real estate agent dealing with inconsistent income, feeling stuck in the stop–start cycle, or constantly rebuilding your pipeline from zero, this episode is exactly what you need. Inconsistent income is one of the biggest reasons agents never hit consistent $10–$20K+ months—and most don’t realize it’s the real problem holding them back from becoming a truly profitable real estate agent.
In today’s episode, real estate coach Vanessa Franz Barnes—who sold 1,000 homes without cold calling—breaks down why inconsistency shows up in your business and the three areas that quietly keep agents stuck. If you’re tired of the roller coaster and ready for structure, strategy, and results you can count on, this episode will shift everything.
You’ll learn:
• Why inconsistency costs you money, clients, and opportunities
• The “stop–start” cycle that keeps agents stuck at zero
• The real reason motivation fades—and how to rebuild momentum • The numbers every profitable agent tracks daily
• Why winging your day creates unpredictable income • The schedule structure that keeps your pipeline full
• Why accountability is non-negotiable if you want a 6-figure business
This episode will help you understand why your business feels unpredictable—and exactly where to focus so you can build steady, simple, and profitable months without working 24/7.

• Episodes 2, 3, and 4: How to choose your lead gen strategies

Have you ever scrolled through social media and wondered if you have what it takes? You see other agents crushing it while you’re still spinning your wheels? That’s imposter syndrome and it’s one of the sneakiest things keeping real estate agents stuck.
In this episode, I’m breaking down how imposter syndrome shows up in your business, why it happens (hint: your brain is just trying to keep you safe), and how to move through it so it doesn’t hold you back from more closings, confidence, and growth.
I’ll share how it kept me playing small for years and I’ll share 3 steps I teach my clients to overcome it fast.

Have you ever had a friend, family member, or even a past client chooses another agent? It hurts, right? I’ve been there and honestly, it used to knock me off track for weeks.
In this episode, I’m sharing how I learned to pivot more quickly to get back on track and into production. I call it the “24-Hour Pity Party.”
Here’s what I walk you through:
Why losing a deal doesn’t mean you’re failing
How to give yourself space to feel disappointed without staying stuck
My 24-hour rule for processing and pivoting fast
A simple reset action that rebuilds confidence and keeps your business moving
If this has ever happened to you or when it does, this episode will help you bounce back stronger and faster.
If you’ve had your own 24-hour pity party moment, DM me on Instagram and tell me what it looked like and how you bounced back. I’d love to hear your story.

After selling over 1,000 homes, I’ve learned what actually moves your business forward and what keeps you stuck. In this episode, I’m sharing the lessons that would’ve saved me time, money, and a lot of sleepless nights.
If you’re in a season where things feel uncertain or you’re questioning your next step, I see you.

The biggest mindset shift that would’ve changed my early years in real estate
Why waiting until you “feel ready” keeps you stuck longer than you think
How one decision completely transformed my business and my belief in myself
The common trap most agents fall into and how to avoid it
You don’t need to start over, you just need to start doing the right things - right NOW!
Ps. If you are saying: ‘I don’t want to spend the next four years trying to figure this all out on my own’ then it’s time for you to stop winging it and get the roadmap to 6-figures. It’s designed to help you take action, stay accountable, and finally build the business you have been dreaming of.

If you’re collecting names, emails, and phone numbers, but doing nothing with them, you’re sitting on a goldmine!
In today’s episode, I’m giving you a sneak peek into my signature program and how I turned my database into a 7-figure business. Most agents focus all their energy on getting new leads and then completely ignore the ones they already have. Your database is the single most valuable asset in your business, but only if you actually use it.
You’ll learn:
Why inconsistent follow-up leads to inconsistent income
A few simple steps to start setting up your database
How to stay in touch without feeling salesy
The key mistakes agents make that cost them thousands of dollars
How much money you make is directly correlated to how well you cultivate and care for your database.
When you invest the time and energy into a systematic approach, you create a business that’s predictable and sustainable in any market.
You will not want to miss this one!

Just because you haven’t sold a lot of homes yet doesn’t mean you’re worth less or have to lower your fee to win clients.
In this episode, we’re tackling one of the most common struggles real estate agents face, knowing your value and confidently standing behind it when a client asks for a discount.
You’ll learn:
• Why discounting doesn’t actually win you better clients or predictable income
• Exactly what to say when someone pushes back on your fee
• How to practice and deliver your value statement so it feels natural and confident
• The mindset shift that will stop you from tying your worth to your experience
If you’ve ever felt pressure to cave on your fee, this episode will give you the scripts, tools, and confidence you need to handle it like a pro.
If you keep discounting, you’ll keep struggling with inconsistent income. Standing firm is what creates predictability that you want!

I’m sure the title of today’s episode caught your attention, and for good reason.
This whole conversation started with a phone call that made me stop and really think about my own ambition, where it comes from, and how it shows up in my life and business. And in this episode, I want to share:
A personal story about where my ambition started and how it’s shaped me
Why ambition can be the blessing that gets you past the hard seasons in real estate
The flip side: when ambition turns heavy and leaves you burned out or constantly chasing “more”
Questions to help you figure out if your ambition is fueling you or draining you right now
This one is personal, raw, and a little unfiltered (fair warning—there are a couple of curse words). But I think it’s a conversation worth having, especially if you’ve ever wondered why you can’t just be content coasting… or if you’ve ever felt like your own drive is running you into the ground.
Tune in, reflect on these questions for yourself, and let’s talk about what ambition means for YOU in this season.

With over 1.6 million REALTORS® in the U.S. (and even more licensed agents), it’s easy to feel the market is oversaturated.
BUT…most agents are not building consistent, sustainable businesses. And this creates a huge opportunity for YOU!
In this episode, I’m walking you through:
The real data behind the numbers
What it actually means to stand out in this business (hint: it’s not about dancing on Instagram)
How to shift from “Why would someone choose me?” to “Here’s why I’m different”
How to use social media if you want to—but only in a way that feels aligned and sustainable
You don’t have to be the loudest agent in the room.
You just have to be the clearest.
Because the agents who stand out aren’t copying what’s trending—they’re focused on who they help, how they help them, and how they make people feel from start to finish.

There’s a lot of pressure to show up online 24/7. But what if you don’t love social media?
In this episode, I’m sharing a real talk perspective that most coaches won’t tell you: I built a $380 million real estate business without TikTok, Instagram, or even a social strategy for most of my career.
And I want to give you full permission to build your business your way.
Here’s what we’re covering today:
What to ask yourself before you put all your energy into Instagram or TikTok
How to use social media as a tool—without letting it run your whole business
Where my leads actually came from (hint: not Reels or Stories)
The 3-strategy lead gen framework I teach inside Roadmap to $100K
If you’ve ever felt behind because you’re not “everywhere” online, or you’re questioning if social media is worth the time and mental energy—it might be time to zoom out and re-center your plan around what actually creates clients, not just content.

Ever signed a buyer agreement… and ended it two days later?
In this episode, I’m sharing the real story of my shortest buyer agreement ever and why I walked away.
Because if you’ve ever felt guilty about holding boundaries, struggled to say no, or stayed in client relationships that drained you, this one’s for you.
Here’s what you’ll take away from today’s episode:
A real look at what happened (and what went sideways) during this 48-hour agreement
What I did instead of discounting my fee
How to stand firm—even when the client is pushing back
Why saying “no” is sometimes the most professional move you can make
This industry will test you. But I’ve learned that sometimes the biggest growth doesn’t come from more closings. It comes from learning how to protect your time, energy, and peace.

Googling other jobs? Ready to start driving for Uber? Or go back to a 9-5?
You are not alone.
BUT... Before you quit - listen to this episode.

Why the “messy middle” is a normal part of the journey (and not a sign you’re failing)
How top agents (yes, even me) still face seasons where quitting feels easier than pushing through
The two tools I use to reset when I feel stuck or discouraged
A simple mindset shift to measure real progress—not just closings
A powerful question to ask yourself before walking away from everything
If things feel heavy right now, I want you to know it’s okay and this episode is here to help you reset, reconnect to your why, and keep moving forward with a plan that actually feels possible.

Ever had a lead ghost you after what felt like a great conversation?
You followed up… waited… and got silence.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s really happening when clients go quiet and how to fix it with a follow-up system that actually works.
You’ll learn:
Why ghosting is usually a communication breakdown—not a dead lead
The 3 silent mistakes agents make that quietly kill the deal
What to say instead of “just checking in”
How to follow up with consistency—without being pushy or salesy
🎧 Listen now if you’re tired of clients disappearing—and ready to follow up in a way that feels clear, confident, and actually converts.

Have you closed a few homes or even hit $100K once but can’t seem to get back there?
You’re not alone. I talk to agents all the time who feel like they’re doing all the right things… but the results still aren’t showing up.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the three most common mistakes I see agents make when they’re stuck in the income rollercoaster. These are the blind spots that stall your momentum—and the exact steps you can take today to shift out of them.
And listen, this has nothing to do with being lazy or unmotivated. These mistakes are easy to overlook (especially when you’re doing your best to “figure it out”). But if you’ve been working non-stop and wondering why the money still isn’t there… this episode is your wake-up call.
I cover:
Why “posting and hoping” is not a lead gen plan—and what to do instead. How to structure your daily schedule like a real business owner. The two numbers every agent should track (starting now).
If you’re ready to stop winging it and start building a real business that pays you like one, this episode will give you the clarity and next steps you need.
📲 After you listen, come say hi on Instagram and let me know what you’re committing to, I’d love to cheer you on!
