Meet Sarah Gibson

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Sarah Gibson. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Sarah , so glad you were able to set aside some time for us today. We’ve always admired not just your journey and success, but also the seemingly high levels of self-discipline that you seem to have mastered and so maybe we can start by chatting about how you developed it or where it comes from?

Self-discipline is the foundation of achieving success in any area of life, and the good news is, it’s a skill that anyone can develop. It’s not something you’re born with—it’s something you build through intentional habits and mindset shifts.

Being a real estate professional means self-discipline is essential. I have many passions, but my primary focus is helping people. As a licensed agent with Luxury Homes of Tennessee, I take pride in meeting new clients and being part of their journey to finding their dream home or successfully selling their property.

Here is how I developed my self-discipline:

One of the first steps to gaining self-discipline is identifying your “why.” Whether it’s buying your dream home, growing your business, or improving yourself, having a clear purpose fuels your determination. When your goals are tied to something meaningful, it becomes easier to push through challenges and stay on track.

Next, start small. Big changes can feel overwhelming. For example, if you’re trying to stay on top of your real estate goals, set aside just 10 minutes a day to review your finances or research the market. Small actions compound over time and build confidence.

Another key element is planning. Self-discipline thrives on structure, so creating a schedule or checklist helps you prioritize what matters most. Holding yourself accountable to these plans—whether by tracking progress or rewarding milestones—keeps you motivated.

Finally, practice self-compassion. No one is perfect, and setbacks are part of the process. What matters is how you bounce back and refocus. Learning to forgive yourself for mistakes while staying committed to your goals is what ultimately strengthens your discipline.

For me, every hour of the day is an opportunity. My drive to succeed comes from a love of what I do—helping people achieve their goals and making the process seamless and rewarding.

Having big dreams is important, but turning those dreams into reality requires discipline and consistency. It’s not always easy, but when you’re committed to achieving something, you’ll find a way to make it happen. I believe in the power of a positive mindset and small, consistent efforts to create extraordinary results.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

I’m currently focused on building relationships with real estate developers and securing new construction listings. There’s something magical about a brand-new home—it’s a blank canvas where homeowners can create their first memories and lasting moments.

I am also working on deepening my involvement in the Nashville community. I’ve joined my local Chamber of Commerce and the Rise Women’s Society. This inspiring organization is committed to fostering a community of Resourceful, Inspiring, Supportive, and Empowered women. Networking with like-minded individuals who share my values of empowerment and connection has been incredibly rewarding.

As a luxury real estate specialist, my goal is to understand my clients’ unique perspectives, address their challenges, and provide solutions that make the process seamless and stress-free. Whether it’s working with buyers, sellers, or developers, I’m dedicated to delivering exceptional service and creating meaningful connections along the way.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Looking back, I’d say three qualities that had the biggest impact on my journey were adaptability, perseverance, and self-discipline.

Adaptability has been crucial because life rarely goes exactly as planned. Whether it’s shifting my approach in business or trying something new, being open to change has helped me grow and discover opportunities I didn’t expect.

Perseverance is everything. There were so many moments where it would have been easier to give up, but staying focused on my goals—even when things felt impossible—made all the difference. It’s about showing up, even on the hard days.

Lastly, self-discipline has been the foundation. Balancing multiple passions like real estate, music, and running a business requires managing my time well and staying consistent. It’s not always glamorous, but it’s what keeps everything moving forward.

For anyone early in their journey, my advice would be:

Be curious and keep learning—skills evolve, so stay open to growth.
Stay patient and persistent—success doesn’t happen overnight.
Surround yourself with people who inspire you—community and support make all the difference.
Everyone’s journey is different, but with the right mindset and a willingness to keep going, you’ll get to where you’re meant to be.

Alright so to wrap up, who deserves credit for helping you overcome challenges or build some of the essential skills you’ve needed?

Without a doubt, my mother has been the most helpful in shaping who I am today and helping me overcome challenges. She’s always been my biggest supporter, reminding me of my strengths even when I doubted myself.

She’s taught me resilience through her own example—showing me how to stay strong and focused, no matter what life throws your way. My mother also instilled in me the value of hard work and self-discipline. From an early age, she encouraged me to pursue my passions and always strive for excellence, whether it was in music, business, or life in general.

She believes in me and has been a constant source of motivation. When I’ve faced setbacks, she’s been there to offer guidance and remind me to keep pushing forward. I truly wouldn’t be where I am without her love, wisdom, and support.
