"People are just waiting for permission to go after their dreams. I never ask permission. If I want it, I go after it.” - Julee Gracey Former international model, People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful, NBC's Deal or No Deal, Top real estate agent, and now a business coach who helps entrepreneurs stop hiding and start showing up. She's been called human Red Bull and you'll understand why in about 30 seconds. Julee grew up on a farm, worked construction, and then flipped through magazines one day and noticed all the models were traveling the world. So she became one. Not because she dreamed of runways, but because she wanted to see what was out there. After a decade in LA, she came home and went into real estate. Everyone told her it was a terrible idea. She got quiet, went under the radar, and became the top agent in her office. Her first showing was a disaster. She couldn't unlock the door, couldn't answer a single client question, and got fired on the front porch. She cried for a day, then walked up to the number one agent in the office and said: take 50% of everything I make. I just want to sit in your meetings and hear the words you use. Within months she was posting the biggest numbers on the board. She's never tackled anything since without a mentor. What she figured out that most people won't say out loud: burnout isn't from doing too much. It's from doing the wrong things. And most entrepreneurs struggle to talk about what they do because they were taught growing up to sit down, be quiet, don't brag. Then they start a business and every one of those rules becomes the obstacle. Her fix: face the thing you're avoiding. That's exactly where your growth is. She wrote it all down in Highly Confident, now a number one Amazon bestseller. The core message: get clear on what you want, make better decisions, and stop waiting for permission. Nobody's coming with that slip.
