The Difference Between Stuck & Soaring is One Bold Action

Thursday Truth: The Difference Between Stuck & Soaring is One Bold Action

“Success doesn’t come from what you occasionally do, it comes from what you do consistently.” — Marie Forleo


Let’s be honest…

There comes a moment in every entrepreneur or real estate agent’s journey when they sit at their desk, stare at their computer screen, and think:

“There has to be a better way.”

→ Maybe you’re there right now.

→ Maybe you’ve built something good — but not great.

→ Maybe the hustle that once lit your fire now feels like a grind that’s draining your soul.

If that’s you… I need you to know:
You are not alone. But you are in a DEFINING MOMENT!


Meet Jason — The Overwhelmed Realtor Who Systemized His Way to Freedom

Jason had been in real estate for 7 years when he called me.

→ He was closing deals.
→ He was making good money.
→ But his life? Chaos.

He was working 12-hour days, missing family dinners, and felt like every lead was slipping through the cracks because his systems were duct-taped together (or worse — living in his head).

We started small.

→ One client intake form.
→ One automated follow-up sequence.
→ One clear weekly schedule.

Fast forward 90 days — Jason had cut his working hours by 30%, doubled his referral business, and (this is my favorite part) took his wife on their first 7-day vacation in YEARS without his phone glued to his hand.


Or Meet Lisa — The Entrepreneur Who Had All the Ideas But No Execution

Lisa owned a marketing business and described her brain like a browser with 100 tabs open

— all playing music.

She had:

  • Notes everywhere.

  • Projects half-finished.

  • Leads falling flat.

  • Zero clarity on what moved the needle.

Her solution wasn’t more effort. It was structure.

Together, we mapped out a Client Journey Workflow, set clear income-producing priorities, and installed accountability rhythms.

Within 60 days she messaged me:

“Kim… I finally feel like a CEO. Not just an exhausted freelancer.”

And THAT is the shift that changes everything.


The Hard Truth Nobody Talks About:

Most Entrepreneurs & Realtors don’t fail because they aren’t talented.

→ They fail because they try to wing it forever.
→ They fail because they build a business that owns them.
→ They fail because they never pause long enough to design their process before chasing their next project.

But those who WIN?

They create repeatable systems, structure their weeks with intention, and lead like the business owner they were born to be — not just a worker trapped inside their own company.


So Let Me Ask You (and really ask yourself this):

→ Are you tired of spinning plates?
→ Are you craving clarity, structure, and actual breathing room in your day?
→ Are you ready to build something that works without you working 24/7?

Then today — April 10, 2025 — is your line in the sand.

This is your Thursday Truth.


This isn’t about working harder.

This is about working smarter.

This is about working differently.

This is about building a business ON PURPOSE.
