The fear of going backwards is hurting people:

1. Taking a job for less pay
2. Selling your big house for a smaller house when appropriate, or even renting
3. Breaking up with someone that isn’t right even though you’ve been together for 4 years
4. Taken a lesser role as a founder even though the business is better

… the “take the step back” is often the thing that launches you into happiness but your fear of judgement on the step back is stopping you from happiness.

It’s unfortunate because a lot of that is based on society's current POV and judgement - not people's true decisions. Truth to block out the noise and lean into your truth, choose humility and grit and inconvenience for a period of time to get to your joy! ☕️

Founders, did you know?

Nobody really tells you that building a business is just you figuring out who you need to become along the way.

We spend so much time on the strategy, the plan, the ex*****on, but we never stop and ask ourselves if we’ve actually grown into the person the business needs us to be.

That part takes the longest, and it’s the most important.

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for Ivan Lopez Corcino by Katheryne R - Ivan was incredibly helpful during my partner and my first home-buying experience. His extensive knowledge and expertise made the process smooth and hassle-free. He was always on top of everything, ensuring that my partner and I were well-informed and understood every step of the way. If we ever had doubts or questions, Ivan patiently explained the information to us, making sure we fully comprehended it. I highly recommend Ivan to anyone interested in buying their first home and who is unsure of where to begin.

You are not stuck. You are choosing to stay.

The story you are telling yourself about how you cannot leave the job, the city, the relationship is a comfort blanket...

It is easier to complain than to act. I get it... but pretending you do not have a choice gives you permission to never make one.

My friends.. accountability is greater than blame. ACTION is the cure for almost everything. Take one step today. The freedom you keep waiting for is on the other side of the move you keep avoiding.

BOSSES - wake up!🌞

If you have an employee that is actually seriously important to you business, and you do not have an understanding of what drives them, you need to have a 2.5 hour dinner and create that glue.

One of the biggest things I see in businesses and entrepreneurs in failing is the over-reliance on an employee that leaves and they have to start all over for 18 months and the thing that could've allowed them to mitigate that disaster is literally a conversation.

The place where you get the disproportionate highest ROl is when you listen to your employees.

Tag a leader that is doing an incredible job at this! ❤️🙏

Being a business owner already makes you a real estate investor whether you’ve thought about it that way or NOT.
You own a home, that’s an asset. You’re paying rent for office space every month, that’s real estate affecting your bottom line.

The tools that full time Real Estate investors use — leverage, equity, cash flow — those are already available to you. Even if it is Residential or Commercial Real estate, We just never looked at it that way.

A lot of people don’t even know you can negotiate private lending terms. Once you understand that, a lot more deals become possible.
