[2:15] - Why Alignment Matters: In this section, I share my personal experience of running a business for over a decade. For years, I pushed myself to the limit, trying to meet the expectations of team leaders and brokers. But, as I soon realized, working harder instead of smarter leads to burnout and a business that doesn't feel fulfilling. I discuss how finding alignment with your core values is the key to creating a sustainable, joyful business.

[7:00] - Ditching the Burnout: Here, we talk about the burnout triggers that many entrepreneurs, especially women in business, experience. From trying to keep up with every new trend to ignoring personal needs and saying "yes" to everything, these habits can drain your energy and derail your passion for your business. I explain how to avoid these traps and create space for what truly matters.

[12:40] - Identifying Burnout Triggers: Break down some of the common burnout triggers I’ve encountered in my journey:

• Trying to keep up with the latest trends in real estate

• Ignoring personal boundaries and saying yes to everything

• Working on tasks that don’t align with your strengths or values

• The importance of having a clear vision and purpose for your business

[19:25] - Strategies to Avoid Burnout: Here I share practical strategies to avoid burnout:

• Set boundaries by establishing clear work hours.

• Prioritize self-care to recharge your energy.

• Delegate tasks to avoid overwhelm.

• Focus on what you're good at and enjoy, and outsource the rest.

[24:30] - Building an Aligned Business Blueprint: Once you’re aware of the burnout triggers, it’s time to start building a business that aligns with your values and purpose. In this section, I walk you through steps like identifying your core values, defining your purpose, and structuring your business to support your life. I also talk about how to align your business with your community and focus on authentic entrepreneurship.

[30:10] - Practical Steps to Take: I outline actionable steps to help you start building an aligned business, including:

• Assessing your current business for alignment.

• Creating a vision board to reflect your ideal business and life.

• Scheduling regular check-ins to ensure you're staying on track.

[35:00] - Conclusion: Building a business that feels good requires prioritizing alignment over hustle. In this final section, I wrap up with a reminder that when you build a business based on your values and purpose, it becomes a source of joy, fulfillment, and success.
