In this episode, we get brutally honest about what it really takes to build something meaningful.For the first four years, we worked nights, weekends, and poured everything into our business. We weren't chasing balance. We were chasing freedom. And now, in year five, we're finally seeing the payoff.In this episode, we break down why the work-life balance narrative is holding people back, the difference between burnout and buy-in, and why obsession (not balance) is what actually moves the needle. We also unpack why “follow your passion” is terrible advice if you haven't built the skills, cash flow, or clarity to support it (and what to focus on instead).This conversation explores the seasons of life and business, the value of building real skills over chasing passions, and why community and support are essential when you're in the trenches. We also get real about the mental battles, setbacks, and sacrifices it takes to stay the course because those struggles are what shape you. If you're trying to build a life 99% of people don't have, you're going to have to work like 99% of people won't. Free Rental Property Workshop: Learn how to buy your first (or next) rental property in 2025.
