Last week, I went live on Instagram to talk about something that’s been on my heart lately — and honestly, it might sting a little.
“You’re not stuck because you’re not working hard enough. You’re stuck because you’re trying to out-hustle a broken model.”
That hit a nerve with so many of you because I’ve been there too. For years, I believed that the only way to grow my business was to outwork everyone. So I hustled harder, took on every task, and filled my calendar to the brim. But instead of feeling successful, I just felt… exhausted.
If you’re a high-performing woman in real estate, you know what I mean. You’re the go-to agent, the top producer, the one everyone comes to for answers. But what happens when you hit that $200K–$500K mark and nothing seems to move the needle anymore?
That’s where I found myself — in a “stuck but busy” season, running on fumes and feeling like I had to do more, more, more. But then, something clicked. What got me here wasn’t going to get me to my next level. I needed a different way of working — one that didn’t leave me feeling burned out and resentful.
Here are the three mindset shifts that changed everything for me:
From Doing Everything → Building a System
I used to think that being a good leader meant handling every task personally. But the truth is, the most successful agents aren’t doing everything themselves. They’re building systems that run without them — processes that create consistency, even when they’re not “on.”
From Busy → Boundaries
Back then, my calendar was a nightmare. Every hour was booked, and I felt like I couldn’t say no to anything. But high-level agents don’t fill their schedule — they protect it. Now, I schedule weekly CEO time to zoom out and make strategic decisions. It’s a game changer.
From Reactive → Intentional
Instead of just putting out fires all day, I started asking myself, “What am I tolerating that keeps me spinning?” For me, it was saying yes to things that weren’t aligned with my bigger vision. Once I started setting boundaries, I was able to focus on what actually mattered — scaling my business without losing my sanity.
If any of this resonates with you, you’re not alone. This is exactly what we work on inside The Elevated Agent Collective. It’s where we help high-performing agents go from overwhelmed and overworked to focused, intentional, and unstoppable.
