You’ll never hit your next level of success by doing more of what’s already burning you out.

Hey there, rainmakers!

I used to believe my worth was in my speed, my availability, and how much I could cram into a day. I prided myself on closing over 200 loans a year—alone. No team, no boundaries, no balance. Just pure hustle. But inside, I was exhausted, stuck, and unsure how to break the cycle.

In this solo episode, I open up about the moment I realized that more volume wasn’t the goal—more life was. I share the exact shift that changed everything: the decision to build a business with intention, with a team, and with the kind of coaching and community I now offer through my Catalyst community.

This isn’t just about doing more—it’s about becoming more. This episode is your invitation to say yes to building something sustainable, something powerful, something that finally feels like you.

Are you ready to become the Rainmaker you were meant to be? Let’s DO this!

💡 Key Takeaways

• Speed and efficiency without strategy leads to burnout and inconsistency.
• True success comes from designing the life you want, not just chasing volume.
• You need a clear vision, belief in possibility, a plan—and accountability.
• Catalyst isn’t just coaching; it’s community, mentorship, and mindset transformation.
• Wanting “20 loans a month” is empty without knowing why that number matters.
• The rainmaker identity requires a full remodel—from lone wolf to bold leader.
