how to succeed in the real estate business
Donna Evers is the founder of Evers & Co. Real Estate and Twin Oaks Tavern Winery.

Donna was a very successful real estate agent, before she started her own brokerage firm with 7 sales agents. Today the company has over 100 agents and is the largest woman-owned-and-run independent residential real estate company in the DC area. Both driven and creative, Donna started another company, a winery, as her interest in wine grew into a second career.

In this episode, Donna shares insights on how to build trust with customers, what it takes to differentiate your company from the competitors, how to be more productive in both personal life and business, and how to manage multiple projects while staying organized and sane.

This is our last episode before Founders Nextdoor takes a summer break. I want to say thank you to all of our listeners for supporting this show and to my producer Xue for her hard work and dedication to making Founders Nextdoor a reality. I hope you’ve enjoyed this show so far, and we’ll see you in a few months.

“You need both inspiration and persistence.”

– Donna Evers

How Creativity Can Help You Become A Happier and More Productive Entrepreneur

  By

Monica Kang, creativity

Monica Kang is the founder and CEO of InnovatorsBox®, a company that offers creative educational workshops, services, and products for professionals to learn why creativity is critical, how to integrate and hone it in work and life. Before starting the company, she had a steady job specializing in nuclear nonproliferation with a decent paycheck. Life was good on surface but deep down she felt unfulfilled. Connecting the dots, she found that it was creativity that brought her the most satisfaction in life, and InnovatorsBox® was born.

In this interview, Monica talks about her inspiration and personal transformation. She walks us through her journey of starting a business as a solo founder, and shares insights on what makes work life more fulfilling. She also offers a lot of useful tips on the early stage of startup life, and how to become more creative as an entrepreneur.

“Creativity is your mind’s gym. You are not going to the gym just to lose weight, but it is also for your long-term health. You do not do creative exercises just to tackle a problem, but also for your wellness and the potential possibilities. The more you do it regularly as part of your routine, the better you will be.”

– Monica Kang
