423: The Simple Habit That Changed Her Business with Abby Drobinski

What if the thing that changes your business isn't a new lead source, a new strategy, or another program—but simply showing up consistently for the work you already know you need to do? On this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, I'm joined by Abby Drobinski, a Delaware real estate agent whose business growth over the past few years tells a pretty incredible story. For years, Abby consistently averaged around $6 million in annual sales. Then 2023 was an especially challenging year, and her production dropped to $3.4 million. During the fourth quarter of that year, Abby was invited to join a simple accountability Zoom: two hours each morning, Monday through Thursday, with other agents quietly working alongside one another on the activities that build their businesses. No scripts. No complicated system. No new lead source. She simply started showing up—and kept showing up. In 2024, Abby closed $5.6 million. In 2025, she nearly doubled that and finished just shy of $10 million. And now, in 2026, she's on track to nearly double her business again and reach $20 million in sales. In this conversation, Abby shares exactly what she does during those two-hour blocks, how she structures each day of the week, why accountability has been such a powerful tool for her, and how she protects this time even when the demands of real estate try to pull her in another direction. We also talk about something many of us struggle with: constantly chasing the next strategy instead of staying committed to what is already working. Abby's approach is refreshingly simple—stay connected to your people, follow up, nurture your relationships, protect the time to do the work, and repeat. If your business feels slower than you want it to be, or you've been wondering what you need to add, this episode might be the reminder that the answer isn't always more. Sometimes, it's choosing one simple thing—and doing it consistently.   You can connect with Abby on Instagram, @abbylovesdelaware   You can join in the Daily Business Building for Realtors that Abby does, Monday through Thursday, 9 am to 11 am EST here: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88984489009   Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 42,000 members strong and we want you to join us!
