I used to think freedom came from more — more closings, more volume, more wins on paper. But what if freedom isn’t the reward for working harder... it’s the result of building smarter? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I went from being “busy and burnt out” to building a business that actually buys back my time.
I’ll walk you through the three core levers that every entrepreneur and real estate agent needs to design a business that serves your life — not the other way around. You’ll hear how I replaced chaos with clarity, how systems saved my sanity, and why leverage and support are the ultimate power moves for lasting freedom.
If you’ve ever felt trapped in the business you built or you’re craving more time, peace, and purpose — this episode will shift how you measure success and inspire you to build smarter, not harder.
✨ Things I Cover:
- Why volume ≠ freedom — and what really does
- The 3 levers that buy back your time: Systems, Support, and Strategy
- How to stop trading time for control
- The mindset shift from “agent” to “Agent CEO”
- A sneak peek at The Edge — the new platform built for agents who want to scale with systems, community, and time freedom
If this episode hit home, DM me the word EDGE on Instagram @itsraquelq and I’ll send you all the details. Let’s build a business that gives you your life back. And don’t forget to follow the show so you never miss an episode — because your next level starts with building smart.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
