From Exhaustion to Empowerment: How Rebecca Green Built a Business She Can Retire From

Hello there, Pursuing Freedom friends! 💛

If you are a real estate agent or mortgage professional who is tired of treating exhaustion like a badge of honor, this conversation is for you. In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Rebecca Green, founder of CEO Agent Academy, to talk about what it really looks like to build a business that is profitable, scalable, and sustainable, without sacrificing your sanity, your family, or your future.

Rebecca has been in real estate for 30+ years, built a powerful small-but-mighty team, hit the big volume and GCI numbers, and then realized something huge: none of it matters if you are exhausted, overextended, and unable to step away. She literally walked away from a million dollars a year in income to rebuild a business that gave her life back.

In this episode, we dig into:
✨ The truth about volume, GCI, and why profit and peace matter more
✨ How Rebecca built her first team with two babies under two and why collaboration beats “doing it all”
✨ Why so many top producing agents and lenders are still “doing the job” instead of building a real business
✨ What it looks like to step out of transactions and create income streams that do not depend on you working 24/7
✨ The mindset shifts required to say no more, trust your systems, and stop trying to outwork inefficiency
✨ How to build a team where everyone plays to their strengths instead of trying to clone yourself
✨ The power of community, coaching, and getting in the room so you stop feeling like you are suffering alone

If you are feeling:
• Overwhelmed by your real estate or mortgage business
• Afraid to slow down because you think everything will fall apart
• Stuck on the hamster wheel of “more deals, more volume, more grind”

I want you to know there is a different way. You can absolutely build a business that supports a life you do not need a vacation from.
