Do you ever get caught up in the busyness of things? Are you spending your time with who you value most? Life Coach Misty Lakes is here to talk about her path to discovering and defining her priorities. After 18 years, she is now doing what she was called to do and loving every step of the way. 

Misty is one of my BFFs and my coach. She’s also had some interesting real estate adventures involving her family and a land purchase. We dive into real estate transactions and then move on to her journey of becoming a life coach. She’s always loved helping people and now it’s her mission to help women business owners. 

Episode Highlights: 

[01:25] Misty's parents own land that's between her old home that her son currently owns and the farm that she owns. 

[02:09] When her son was twenty, they sold their current home to him, and they decided to build on the farm. 

[02:41] They were also able to purchase a small property with a little pond that was attached to their land this enabled them to preserve the view from their back porch. 

[03:26] There are a lot of options in real estate. You can expand or buy land that's attached to your current home.

[04:03] The land is together but it has separate deeds. With a separate deed, you could use the land as collateral and not jeopardize your home.

[04:38] Misty is a life and business coach, and I'm one of her clients. 

[05:22] Before life coaching, Misty was in direct sales. She found herself giving advice. She loved helping people and wanted to create income doing this. 

[06:32] Becoming a life coach, enabled her to do what she loves and get paid for it.

[07:50] Before coaching, she felt overwhelmed and had extreme guilt for not spending enough time with her family or her work.

[09:53] She gave away a free coaching session revolving around the use of the value target. This led to her first paying client.

[12:14] We have to take care of ourselves and find peace in that before we can help anyone else.
