What Happens When You Stop Chasing Someone Else’s Version of Success?
What changes when you stop chasing someone else’s version of success and start building a business—and a life—around what actually matters to you?
That’s exactly what Stacy Pingree and I talked about when I joined her on The Legacy Wealth Podcast. 🎙️
In this episode, we dive into my journey through property management and real estate, the lessons I’ve learned along the way, and how “Serving You With Love” became so much more than a tagline. It became the foundation for the way I approach my clients, my community, and my career.
For me, success isn’t just about how many homes I sell or how many transactions I close.
It’s about people.
It’s about being there when someone is buying their very first home, helping a family make their next move, walking alongside someone through a major life transition, or helping a senior leave a home filled with decades of memories and begin a brand-new chapter.
Those moments have taught me that some of the most meaningful work we do happens when we simply show up and serve people well.
Stacy and I also talked about something that has become increasingly important to me: LEGACY.
- What are we building?
- Who are we impacting?
- And what will people remember about the way we made them feel?
I’ve learned that I don’t want to build someone else’s definition of a successful real estate business. I want to build one that feels authentic to who I am, honors the gifts God has given me, allows me to love and serve people well, and leaves something meaningful behind.
That is what Serving You With Love means to me.
If you’d like to hear more about my story, how I built my business, the lessons I brought with me from property management, and what legacy looks like to me today, I would love for you to listen to my conversation with Stacy.
What does legacy look like to you?
