is in fight or flight mode so frequently due to illness or pain, whatever you're going through, it's easy for your brain to get stuck in that pattern. So it's up to us to make sure that we're doing the work to teach our brains and our nervous system that we're okay. And we're going to get through this. And it's a challenge. And like I said, there will be good days, there will be bad days.

So for me, building out the right team was something that I continued to work on. It was a huge challenge for me because I was an athlete that believed that I could get everything done myself, that it was my job to make sure that I did everything perfectly. The truth of the matter is there is absolutely no way of getting through

any of anything in life by yourself, let alone a real estate career, which is extremely taxing. I would say there was, you could work 24 hours a day and still have a 24 hour to-do list easily. And then taken me a lot of coaching, a lot of surrounding myself with people that have taught me really the art of delegation and the art of

And for me, coaching has always been really important because as an athlete, I learned that a discipline and accountability matters.

but having someone that can look over your business or your life whatever it is that you're doing and help you see where your blind spots are help you understand and build the path that you want to be on and understand what your strengths are that you should be focusing on You have to understand that about yourself before you can attract or bring in the right people around you.

So for me to be trying to do those activities is actually robbing them of the opportunity to really thrive at something that they love. So it's taken me a good decade, I would say, to build a team of people that are I look around me and I know that the people on my team would absolutely do anything for me.
