Most people think success comes from talent.

In reality… it usually starts with something going wrong.

In this episode of the We Attitude Podcast, David sits down with Susan to talk about the unexpected path that led her into real estate — including getting fired from her job, losing money to a real estate “guru,” and discovering the power of personal development.

What started as a temporary job quickly turned into a completely different life trajectory.

They dive into:

• The mentor question she’s still thinking about a year later
• Why most people avoid identifying their real “why”
• The uncomfortable truth about accountability and coaching
• Why personal development changed everything
• How small adjustments create massive results
• Why many real estate agents struggle with growth
• The mindset shift that changed her entire career

And toward the end of the conversation, Susan shares a goal that surprised even her…

Her plan to travel the world alone.

Not someday.

But within the next few years.

This conversation is about far more than real estate — it's about growth, freedom, and the courage to pursue the life you actually want.

If you're building a business, chasing growth, or trying to figure out what drives you, this episode will challenge the way you think about success.
