Turning Setbacks Into Strength and Building Wealth on Your Terms with Vivian Yip | Ep 032

After two decades navigating the corporate maze, Vivian Yip and her husband James decided it was time to break free from the 9-to-5 grind and say goodbye to asking for permission to live life on their terms. They dove into the world of real estate by flipping houses, determined to build financial freedom and create a life of flexibility and purpose.

In this episode, Vivian shares her powerful journey—personally and professionally. She opens up about losing all of her hair in just eight weeks, and how maintaining a positive mindset and focusing on what lights you up can transform even the most difficult circumstances. Her pivot from corporate to real estate came from a deep desire for autonomy. After flipping multiple homes, she shifted into short-term rentals, but when the Austin market cooled, she strategically transitioned to mid-term rentals. That move created the financial stability she needed to leave her job—and ultimately allowed her and her husband to 7x their net worth in just 1.5 years.

Vivian now teaches others how to leverage mid-term rentals for lasting success, sharing key tax strategies and insights into why this model can be more profitable and sustainable than short-term stays. Her story is one of resilience, reinvention, and the power of betting on yourself. Whether you're looking to pivot careers or scale in real estate, this episode is packed with mindset and strategy to help you get there.
