Leverage Isn’t a Luxury, It’s Required
Manage episode 492349831 series 3262144
If you're constantly overwhelmed, tired, or feel like you're always behind—this episode is for you. You're not lazy. You're simply running a business that wasn’t designed to scale solo. And that’s not sustainable.
In this episode of The Raquel Show, I get real about the “I’ll just do it myself” trap and how it’s secretly costing you time, energy, and even six figures a year. I share why high-performing agents must let go of doing everything alone, how smart delegation works without building a huge team, and which tools and systems can instantly free up 10+ hours a week.
Here’s what I cover:
- Why doing it all yourself is one of the most expensive habits in real estate
- What real leverage looks like beyond building a massive team
- The key tasks you should delegate—even if you're a perfectionist
- Simple automations and tools I personally use (like Calendly, Canva, Follow Up Boss, Zapier, and ChatGPT)
- A peek inside how I run multiple companies with a lean team
- Why automation supports—not replaces—real connection
💥 If you're done being the bottleneck in your business and you’re ready to reclaim your time and focus on what truly matters, this is your sign. It's time for a CEO-level reset.
