Episode #71 – Krista Hope – Leading from Love

“Real estate can be an amazing vehicle for people. It can help you achieve security through financial freedom. However, when these needs are met, have you achieved what you really want? If real estate is the vehicle, what is the destination? Krista is a professional coach that works with her clients to clarify and articulate their destination. She supports people in finding fulfillment in the journey itself and works with them to identify and overcome challenges along the way. As a successful real estate investor with over 150 properties in her portfolio, Krista specializes in leveraging investing to holistically support her clients in living the life they desire.

Hear more about Krista’s journey and experiences which not only inform her approach to coaching; they are ever-expanding, developing, folding in and teaching her.

- [71:02] These types of conversations, for some, may seem irrelevant to the conversation about real estate. The truth is, you can have all of the “how-to” knowledge in the world, but the degree of our success will be equal to the degree we get real about ourselves and cut through the sh*t to get out of our own way. Then embrace the fact we need help to get there.
