What if success in real estate and life doesn’t come from doing more, but from focusing on the one habit that changes everything?

That powerful idea is at the center of a new episode of The ONE Thing podcast, where host Jay Papasan sits down with Sarah Reynolds, CEO of EmpowerHome. Sarah leads one of the largest real estate businesses in the world, with 180 agents across 10 markets serving more than 2,500 families each year. On top of that, she is a mom of three and married to a fellow entrepreneur, George Oji, President of EmpowerHome Mortgage, LLC.

Despite her accomplishments, Sarah experienced burnout. She struggled with her health, communication in her marriage, and finding joy in leadership. In this episode, she explains how applying the One Thing methodology helped her reclaim her energy, realign her priorities, and spark growth in her personal life and business..

Key Lessons for Realtors

Use One Keystone Habit to Drive Business Growth

Focusing on one simple, repeatable habit can create momentum across your business and personal life. This is especially powerful for agents managing multiple clients and team members.

Stack Habits to Reduce Burnout

Rather than trying to do everything perfectly, build small habits on top of one another. Progress over perfection! This approach allows real estate agents to grow their business sustainably without feeling overwhelmed.

Align Your Values With Your Work

When your daily activities reflect your core values, you reduce stress, strengthen relationships, and lead your team more effectively.

Rediscover Joy in Leadership

Sarah went from exhausted to energized by realigning priorities. Realtors leading teams can create similar results by focusing on what matters most.

Calendar vs Heart Audit for Clarity

Compare your calendar to your priorities. Are you spending time on what truly matters? This exercise helps real estate professionals focus on high-impact tasks.

Joy Directly Impacts Business Results

When you operate in your “joy zone”, your clients, team, and bottom line benefit. Sarah’s story shows that personal growth and business success go hand in hand.

How Realtors Can Apply These Lessons

1. Pick one keystone habit that drives business and well-being.
2. Audit your time versus priorities to ensure alignment.
3. Invest in personal growth to improve team leadership and client satisfaction.
