What’s the hidden cost of always chasing the next deal?

Hey there, Rainmakers!

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and powerhouse coach Nancy Levin to talk about one of the biggest traps in sales: saying “yes” to everything and everyone. We’ve all been there — hustling hard, proving ourselves with every loan closed, and burning out in the process. But what if the discipline that makes you a top producer is the same discipline you need to draw the line and lead yourself first?

Nancy shares her powerful story of redefining success by setting boundaries that stick, and we break down how sales professionals can protect their energy, reclaim their voice, and build a business that doesn’t run them into the ground. I also share how Nancy’s work showed up in my own journey and why these lessons are critical for every Rainmaker who wants to create a lasting legacy.

💡 Key Insights:

• Why top producers are most at risk of overcommitment and burnout
• The sales “yes” problem — and how it costs you freedom and growth
• How boundaries are an act of leadership, not limitation
• Nancy’s personal story of reclaiming self-worth
• Practical ways you can start leading yourself today

This isn’t just about saying no — it’s about saying yes to the career and life you actually want.
