Cari speaks our language, and her philosophy is deeply-aligned with our mission, vision, and values here at Pursuing Freedom. In this episode, Cari joins us to talk about organizing your business to support your dream life! She shares her journey into real estate coaching and explains her approach to goal setting in life and business so you can truly change into who you want to become!

Surviving Success

Cari describes the dilemma of surviving success with more accuracy and clarity than I’ve ever heard before. In the time it took Cari to become a top producing agent and a stellar team leader, she found herself struggling to cope with the new demands of her job. Before organizing her business to support her dream life, she spent months and years blaming the job for her unhappiness instead of looking inward. When the business starts to consume all of our energy, it creates resentment that forces us to either play it small or sacrifice everything for success. The problem is not within the job, it is within ourselves.

Organizing Your Business in Alignment with Your Lifestyle

It’s important for real estate professionals to understand that you can enjoy success and a fulfilling life simultaneously; it doesn’t have to be a tradeoff. The problem is that we get caught up in our careers and lose focus on everything else. This is okay when you’re starting out, but it will quickly turn into a vicious cycle if you’re not consciously setting goals for your life and your job at the same time. The visioning and goalsetting processes we use are about organizing your business in alignment with your lifestyle goals, not independent of them! The truth is…you can have both!

Cari Heibel-Briner, President of Coaching at Adam Hergenrother Coaching, was a top producing real estate agent for 10 years. Then as a team leader, she took her market center to the #1 real estate office in the state in closed transactions while growing the market center from 80 to over 300 agents with 40 real estate teams.

She lives in Idaho with her husband and their blended family of 4 boys. She is running her first marathon in 2020 (as a non-runner!) to increase her emotional fitness and inspire others to grow and change their lives as well.
