Here’s what you missed from Amber Yaklin and Kristin Bond…
Kristin Bond and Amber Yaklin, real estate agents with Thrive Realty in southeast Michigan, share a dynamic professional relationship. Kristin, also the business development manager at Thrive, initially met Amber through a mutual friend, unrelated to real estate. Their connection deepened as they shared real estate content on social media, eventually collaborating on a house sale. This collaboration revealed the power of networking and solidified their friendship, leading them to support each other continually.
During the pandemic, Kristin and Amber began conversations that naturally evolved into empowering one another, sharing knowledge, and providing mutual support. They recognized the potential for creating a community for women in real estate and entrepreneurship. Despite the challenges posed by being deemed non-essential, their real estate businesses thrived during the pandemic. This success led them to consider collaborating on branding photography and referrals, embracing an abundance mindset to transform the competitive nature of their industry.
The concept of the Red Lipstick Revolution emerged from their shared appreciation for red lipstick, symbolizing confidence and empowerment. This idea grew from weekly calls on Clubhouse to creating a Facebook group, which led to training sessions and events. Their branding, though initially misunderstood as selling makeup, effectively communicated their message of finding one’s own power move.
Kristin and Amber believe that women have to approach business differently, and they advocate for calendar auditing and reevaluating the concept of being busy. They encourage leveraging tasks to create more balance and fulfillment, revolutionizing the acceptance of prioritizing family-related activities. Both prioritize being present for their children, understanding that success looks different for everyone and should be personally defined.
In her first year in real estate, Kristin learned to overcome the scarcity mindset by focusing on the next deal and servicing clients daily. She emphasizes the importance of avoiding distractions, seeking mentorship, and proper training, particularly in the initial stages of one’s real estate career. Mentorship and training were integral to Kristin’s success, providing emotional support and practical guidance.
Thrive Realty operates as a hybrid real estate team, combining traditional elements with modern marketing tools. They offer training, mentorship, coaching, and systems to support new agents, fostering a collaborative environment. Kristin and Amber, with their growth mindset, actively pursue personal development and attend events to improve continuously.
Some of their mportant coaching moments include learning to view rejection as an opportunity and addressing uncomfortable topics openly. They emphasize effective communication, relationship-building, and the significance of positive self-affirmation. Kristin shares the impact of self-talk on personal and professional success, advocating for abandoning self-deprecating humor and recognizing personal strengths.
Their journey incorporates experiences from the Empower Conference, where attendees verbalized negative self-perceptions, highlighting the importance of positive self-talk. Kristin and Amber stress the impact of self-perception on relationships and the influence on children. They reflect on the need for emotional health and personal confidence in long-term relationships.
Looking ahead, Kristin and Amber plan to host events and courses through B Revolutionary, aiming to engage and connect with their audience. They emphasize effective networking and personal growth, prioritizing meaningful activities and efficient interactions. For more information, they encourage contacting B Revolutionary through Instagram, offering consulting, social media audits, and webinars.
