In the early years of my real estate career, I pouredthousands of dollars and hours into researching, learning through failures, and expensive marketing strategies, thinking they would magically unlock the path to success. But all I found was frustration and wasted time. It took a lot of trial and error to finally dial in what truly worked—and, surprisingly, it wasn’t expensive or complicated.

One of my biggest turning points came when I decided to scale my business. I had big plans but was still convinced that my success depended on my brokerage rather than my own vision. I shared my ideas with the trainer at the brokerage I was with at the time, expecting support. Instead, I was told my goals were too lofty and unrealistic. That moment could have crushed me—but instead, it fueled me. I realized that my business was mine to shape, so I made a bold move and pursued my plan anyway. I also switched to a brokerage that valued agent independence and encouraged us to build our careers our own way. After making that switch, new doors opened—opportunities for training other agents, speaking on stages, and stepping into leadership roles, none of which were available to me before. The result? I doubled my business in just one year and haven’t looked back since.

The biggest lesson I learned through it all was to trust my own instincts. I initially struggled to build systems that worked for me because I was too focused on following what others were doing. Once I gave myself permission to customize those systems to suit my lifestyle and goals, everything changed. That’s also what sets my coaching apart. I don’t just teach a one-size-fits-all approach—I work with each agent to create systems that align with their personal goals and lifestyle, ensuring the long-term success and balance they crave.
