The Double Duty Agent Podcast with Carla Higgins

I Don’t Have Time for Real Estate… But I Still Want to Succeed

Carla Higgins Season 1 Episode 70

Do you ever feel like there’s just no time to build your real estate business? You're juggling a full-time job, managing a household, and squeezing in family, church, or community commitments—yet real estate still holds a piece of your heart.

If you've been thinking, "I just don’t have the time…”—this episode is for you.

Coach Carla is diving deep into one of the most common challenges dual-career agents face: how to take control of your schedule, even with a 9–5 job, and focus your limited hours on the highest-impact actions that move your business forward—without burning out.


 In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why "doing real estate when you find time" is a recipe for frustration
  • How to map out your life first—starting with your non-negotiables
  • The 5 Core Responsibilities every agent must prioritize
  • How to avoid the admin trap that keeps you "busy" but not productive
  • How to create a real, working schedule that supports your business goals
  • The power of timeblocking—and how to follow it with integrity
  • What to do when your calendar says “appointments” but you don’t have any yet (spoiler: lead gen!)
  • Why protecting your timeblock is the key to choosing success, day after day


Whether you're just starting out or hitting reset on your business, this episode is packed with practical steps, real-life analogies, and mindset shifts that will help you stop spinning your wheels and start building real momentum.

This isn’t about hustle. It’s about structure, intention, and choosing yourself every single day.

 

Keep showing up. Keep striving. Keep building the life and business you’re dreaming of. And keep rising—as a Double Duty Agent.
We’ll see you next time.
