I'm part of a coaching mastermind group and one BIG benefit is that I get to meet some inspirational entrepreneurs. This week I connected with Ann Carden. Ann is a best-selling writer, podcaster, and speaker who is brilliant at motivating and inspiring others to reach their goals.

Well, hi, everybody, and welcome back to the show. I'm with Ann Carden, and good morning. How you doing?

Good morning, I am doing wonderful, right? Thanks so much for having me on. Hi, everyone.

And we're about to see you in the world today, Ann.

I am in the United States. I am in the state called Missouri, the Midwest.

Yeah, absolutely. Tell us a little bit about what you do. I'm really excited to have this call because I know that you offer some special ideas around content and what real estate agents can be doing to grow their business and their income.

And I'd love to get into, you mentioned just before we press record about creating multiple income streams. I'd love to learn a little bit more about that. And I'm sure my listeners would as well. So yeah, tell us what you do.

And also tell us maybe how we can reach out and connect with you. What's the easiest way to connect with you?

Yeah, the best way to connect with me is to go to my website at annlcarden.com. There is an L in my in my website, but that's the best way because I have lots of resources there. I've you can really find out a lot.

I also have my podcast there as well, which I go into a lot of marketing and sales strategies and things like that in my and I interview other experts. So my expert in your podcast is also hosted on my website.

So there's that's the best way to reach me or if you want to have a call with me, you can book a call there.

I'll include those links in the show notes. Sounds great. Yeah. So tell us a little bit about what you do specifically.

Yeah, so I have two sides of my business. I've been an entrepreneur for 34 years. This is my sixth and seventh business. I've sold five previous businesses. And I work mainly with people that are experts in their field who want to either start a coaching or consulting program, or they want to monetize in other ways.

So that's one side of my business of people that want to grow and scale their coaching and consulting professional service business. So that is one side. The other side of my business though, is I also help people really stand out in their market, in their marketing, and build really an expert and influence marketing platform.

So they are really seeing at the top of their industry where they can get the best clients, the best opportunities, either playing a bigger game. And so that is the agency side of my business.

Right, right. Well, I'm sure you've made plenty of observations about realtors, as we call them here in North America, or real estate agents. What are some of the things that, well, maybe I could ask it this way.

If you were a realtor, what would you be doing to stand out in your market? Because right now it's so competitive. And we're coming off a little bit of a boom in many parts of the world where there's been a lot of property for sale, and then the number of agents grew, and now there's not as many properties for sale, but there's just as many agents.
