Hello … and welcome

I’m glad you stopped by

my name is Kathy Mosley

creative … entrepreneur … and quite a few other things too

i look forward to connecting

After calling Chicago home for over 20 years

I was ready for my next challenge

actually … I was completely OVER the cold and snow … and was ready to thaw out …

in October of 2019 I left my consulting job …

and my husband … NOT OFFICIALLY … he stayed in Chicago until June 2020 when he retired from the City

I closed up my business and packed up the U-Haul … and enjoyed an extended roadtrip along Route 66

until i arrived in sunny

Scottsdale, Arizona

I wasn’t exactly sure what my plan was gonna be … but while living in Atlanta I had been a REAL ESTATE agent with Coldwell Banker so that career path was certainly one of my many options

but then …

COVID happened EVERYONE decided to reinvent themselves as real estate agents

I flipped … … quite literally more accurately … … I adapted

one of the things I am best at

FLIPPING … literally

seemed like the perfect solution

I spent the next 18 months

designing … remodeling … managing … and selling 3 houses

this was not “new” territory for me

I have been in and around construction for most of my life … flipping my first home when I was only 19 years old … while working on my own projects I was able to learn a variety of DIY skills and I was also made it a point to learn as much as possible from the professionals that helped me out along the way

this seems as good a time as any to share a few details of my “colorful” past with you

my parents owned a business

I inherently learned to implement their business acumen and effectively apply various dynamic strategies to ALL ASPECTS of my life … and I’m not only grateful for that education … but certain it has played a role in my continued professional advancement

it also explains my soft spot for entrepreneurs

work smarter … NOT harder easier said than done … which is actual point of the challenge

and arguably, the single most difficult aspect of being an owner/operator

You need to be aware of what you know … but even more so of what you DO NOT know

this next piece is where things get tricky … and extremely difficult for many to capitalize upon

HAVING THE CAPACITY TO BE HONEST ABOUT YOUR LIMITATIONS

and then … DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP

it takes a village

BUILDING a business requires a commitment to building a team

and those who are most successful do those two things in reverse order
