Thrive in Year One: A Companion Workbook for New Real Estate Agents by Annette DiResta is an empowering, hands-on resource designed to guide new real estate agents through the challenges of their first year. Published in May 2025, this workbook complements the original book, Thrive in Year One: The New Agent’s Guide to Success, transforming its insights into practical exercises inspired by the author’s brother, Eddie, whose fictional journey from fear to triumph in San Francisco’s competitive market grounds the workbook’s actionable approach. Drawing on Annette’s 25 years in residential and commercial real estate, her family’s legacy of resilience, and scriptural wisdom, this workbook equips agents to overcome rejection, overwhelm, and self-doubt.
Built around the “Thrive Cord” metaphor, the workbook provides interactive exercises for the nine essential strands—courage, perseverance, gratitude, resourcefulness, focus, identity, collaboration, endurance, and connection. Each chapter includes reflective prompts, goal-setting templates, and practical activities tied to vivid stories, like Eddie’s nervous lockbox moment or other agents’ real-world successes. For example, “Courage Over Comfort” offers journaling exercises to confront fears, while “Tend Your Roots” includes worksheets to strengthen personal identity. Scriptures like Joshua 1:9 (“Be strong and courageous”) and Zechariah 4:10 (“Do not despise these small beginnings”) anchor reflective prompts, helping agents counter self-doubt with faith-based truths. Sensory details, such as the bay’s salty breeze or kimchi stew’s spicy warmth, inspire visualization exercises that deepen emotional engagement.
Dedicated to Annette’s mother, Diana, whose journey from Korea’s war to a “tip-jar empire” fuels its spirit, the workbook mirrors Eddie’s success—closing $100,000 in commissions by January 2025—through case studies of agents like Zdenek Tronicek and Joyce Rey. Tools like monthly one on one impactful coaching and mentoring programs as well as bi-annual global Masterminds with elite top agents ensure immediate application. With Annette’s credentials as a top broker and community leader, this authoritative workbook is a vital companion for new agents, turning the original book’s wisdom into a practical blueprint for thriving in year one.
