Cory Scott | Realtor

Over the years I’ve worked in a few different industries. I’ve worked as a Chef, Accounting assistant, Foreclosure Auctioneer, Business Manager, now Realtor. All vastly different positions. The one habit that has allowed me to be successful is to simply be the expert. What does that mean? I study. Constantly seek out answers. If I have to read 100 books, seek a mentor, or take a class I will. Always be open to learning, be coachable until you reach the level where your no longer a novice you are the master. Read more>>

I journal to write ideas I receive after I meditate. Keeping myself healthy by eating fresh food, getting a good night of sleep and daily yoga keeps me strong and healthy in order for me to to be a channel of healing for others. When I first started Energetic Therapies, I’d keep my calendar full with consistent actions I needed to take to grow my business. I’d do one step every day to connect with my community, such as reaching out to another business or attending a networking event. Keeping my mind healthy by surrounding myself with a community of positive people is key.
