Pushing Through When It Gets HARD: Your Guide to Staying in the Game

Let's be real: chasing big dreams—whether it's financial freedom, time freedom, or anything in between—is tough. There are moments when you just want to throw in the towel, crawl under the covers, and give up. As a full-time single mom, working full-time and building a real estate vacation rental business on the side, trust me, I truly get it. The struggle is real.

But here's what I'm learning and leaning into to keep pushing forward:

Fueling Your Engine

You can't pour from an empty cup. Are you taking care of yourself? It's not selfish; it's essential. What small thing can you do today to recharge your energy? Maybe it's a quick walk, a healthy meal, or even just a few minutes of quiet to clear your head. Prioritize these moments.

Declutter Your Mind & Space

A cluttered environment often leads to a cluttered mind. Does your space, both physical and mental, feel overwhelming? Find ways to clear out some of that mental and physical junk. When you create more space, you create more clarity, allowing you to think clearly and focus on what truly matters.

Sparking Motivation & Gratitude

On those tough days, what keeps you going? What's your deep "why"? And just as important, what are you grateful for right now? Seriously, take a moment. Acknowledging gratitude can be a powerful shift in perspective, reminding you of the good even amidst the challenges.

Planning & Prioritizing

Are you actually taking the time to plan your goals and break them down into actionable steps? This isn't just about being busy; it's about being effective. Are you focusing on real, measurable work that moves the needle forward, or are you getting caught in endless "busy work" that doesn't contribute to your ultimate vision?

Ditching Distractions

We all have them—those sneaky time-sucks that derail our productivity. What are your biggest distractions? What concrete steps can you take today to minimize them and carve out focused work time? Even small changes can make a huge difference in reclaiming your precious hours.

Finding Your Tribe (and Tools!)

You don't have to do it alone. Who or what is in your corner? Don't underestimate the power of a strong support system, whether it's friends, mentors, or even leveraging AI tools for coaching and accountability. I'm actively using every tool I can find for self-reflection, brainstorming, automation, and constant learning on my journey to build Encourage Properties and Tucson Secret Gem. My goal is to create businesses that provide not just income, but the precious gift of TIME.

If you're a potential partner or investor looking to join forces in the vacation rental space, I'd love to connect!
