Key Takeaways: 

Trust Your Instincts in Career Decisions: When navigating a career in high-stakes environments like real estate, trusting your gut can lead to life-changing opportunities. Believing in yourself and taking calculated risks can open doors to success.

The Importance of Adaptability: Whether it’s transitioning from one market to another or adjusting to the dynamics of a reality TV show, adaptability is key. Embracing change allows you to thrive in new environments and manage unexpected challenges.

Success Requires Grit: The real estate world may look glamorous on TV, but it takes relentless hard work, dedication, and patience to achieve long-term success. Cold calling, door knocking, and building credibility over time are essential steps.

Navigating Public and Private Life: Balancing personal challenges, such as pregnancy losses, while maintaining a public image is difficult. Being open about your struggles can help others, but it’s important to set boundaries and protect your personal life.

Build a Supportive Network: Surrounding yourself with supportive colleagues, friends, and family can make all the difference when navigating personal and professional challenges. A strong network can help you stay grounded and focused on your goals.
