Overcoming Adversity to Achieve Financial Freedom with Kathy Fettke and Anna Kelley

Learning to overcome adversity is crucial to long-term success. On today’s episode, we talk with Kathy Fettke and Anna Kelley, investors, businesswomen, and contributing authors of, The Only Woman in the Room, where we talk about challenges faced and how to move through them. Anna and Kathy have spent years as active real estate investors and entrepreneurs and have faced their fair share of challenges as they grow their portfolios and businesses. We delve into topics such as the needed mindset one needs to push through self-doubt and the effects of negative self-talk, how to move through adversity to propel you to financial freedom, and why it’s important to focus on the journey and not always the end goal.
