Perhaps, one of the hardest things to do in life is to find balance. We often see very successful business people struggling in their personal lives, or people with a fantastic family struggling financially. There's no doubt that finding equilibrium in every aspect of life is challenging, but it's not impossible. Today's guest is a great example of this. She discovered the perfect formula for her to have a successful career, raise 4 children, and scale her business during the pandemic. Somehow, she still finds time to workout regularly and give back to her local community! 

Bri Waterman joins us today for an inspiring conversation to help answer the question, From Overachieving To Overthinking: How Do You Balance It All? A self-made Real Estate Broker & Entrepreneur currently aligned with Compass, Bri earned her Real Estate License in 2002, at the young age of 18. The oldest of her family's grandchildren, Bri took on a leadership role from an early age. She got her first job at age 12 and started working in the real estate industry during high school. Two years after getting her realtor's license, her mother passed away, leaving Bri in charge of her business. A short time after her mother's death, the 2008 real estate market crash happened. The young realtor went from making 6 figures to working at Costco to put food on the table. 

Focusing on a creative problem-solving approach and with a tenacious mindset, Bri managed to reactivate her business, and has achieved 30% growth every year for the last 6 years. She achieved $80 million in sales last year, generating 1.5 million in revenue! 

We had a fantastic conversation about her journey as a mother and entrepreneur, and the difficulties she's faced in her career. Bri kindly shared her vision of happiness, fulfillment, purpose and how to live a meaningful life.
