We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Amanda Seebadan a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Amanda, thanks for joining us today. So, let’s imagine that you were advising someone who wanted to start something similar to you and they asked you what you would do differently in the startup-process knowing what you know now. How would you respond?
I would learn to network the right way and learn what rooms I should be in.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I have been a licensed Realtor since 2012 and am now based in Florida after relocating in 2020. I sold for about a decade in Maryland and Virginia. I am member of Keller Williams Sports and Entertainment & KW Land Division, that connects me with top agents nationwide. I serve as the chairwomen for Women Inspiration Network with Oviedo Winter Springs Chamber and am a chamber ambassador.
My team and I specialize in relocation, luxury, move-up buyers, downsizing, land sales and first-time homebuyers. She and her husband founded Cocktails and Connections and Coffee and Connections, two networking groups in the Orlando area. In my free time (which I don’t have much of with two kids), I enjoy off-roading, running, yoga, coloring, pickleball, reading and exploring Florida with my family.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
When relocating to a whole new market, I had to build my business brick by brick. I didn’t have all the contractors and past clients that I once had. Networking has transformed my life and business. I network with agents nationally and locally through the Chamber, a couple networking groups we founded and the Citrus Club.
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
I have really enjoyed Mel Robbins “The Let Them Theory”. You are only responsible for you, you have influence over those around you but you can’t change others. I also enjoy listening to YourWorldWithin on YouTube. I have listened to Eddie Pinero for years.
