House in Eagle, Colorado https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672e8b5a7883c765aa96738f/43520050-0134-4747-b3aa-4082be26fe43/st+james+front+2024.jpg Life ~ Business ~ Undeniable Truths - ARE You AFRAID TO FAIL? - So, I couldn’t gain any traction in the real estate market or find worthy places to meet people. However I’m sure if I stuck it out I would have. To make things unknowingly worse, two weeks after purchasing my house in Eagle, I bought a hotel in Georgetown, Colorado! How fun right!? It was a learning experience and fun at times, but driving two passes in the winter is not recommended on a weekly basis. They are ALWAYS closed. Even when it is clear, there is an accident that closes one or the other or another part of I-70. So, if you do move to the mountains, plan to stay there all winter and not have to drive too much, except to the ski resort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672e8b5a7883c765aa96738f/8d394bc8-91ba-45bd-829c-acd0b8bdf1de/IMG_0921.JPEG Life ~ Business ~ Undeniable Truths - ARE You AFRAID TO FAIL? - I never did join the Summit County Board, but I was thinking NextHome Summit Group was a great name if I did stay there. Okay, so fast forward one year. The real estate industry is threatening a drop in sales and prices, the lawsuits are settling and more are being filed. The life of the 6% real estate commission is officially being challenged, as it should. I have always said, there are agents that should be paid the 6% or even more and then there are the other 90% of agents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672e8b5a7883c765aa96738f/63c77e0e-6b14-4bf8-995e-10686dd8c887/Georgetown+Guanella+Pass.jpg Life ~ Business ~ Undeniable Truths - ARE You AFRAID TO FAIL? - So far, we love it. We found a flip project also in Genesee that I closed right about the same time as our move and it is now listed for sale. The market has been a bouncy castle and it seems this trend will continue for a bit. So, I couldn’t gain any traction in the real estate market or find worthy places to meet people. However I’m sure if I stuck it out I would have. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672e8b5a7883c765aa96738f/29aaf89f-0505-4d70-a0db-5688b4624102/genesee+deck.jpg Life ~ Business ~ Undeniable Truths - ARE You AFRAID TO FAIL? So, now I’m sitting here looking out my window at my new beautiful views… just not looking at my grossly dated kitchen from the 80s. I wince every time I walk in there! It will be beautiful… eventually. As I search for my next project, my next passion, I have been listening to many podcasts - GaryV, We can do hard things, and more. I am learning my life and all the failures and successes is beautiful. My kids are beautiful, and although we are not married I am back with my ex-husband. Life is yours to choose, don’t let others expectations or societal pressure lead you astray! My kids are still homeschooled. They are pursuing their passions- art and gaming and are happy. They do not have social media profiles. They are hidden from the world and I love it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672e8b5a7883c765aa96738f/9de2b00f-f913-475c-957f-fd86a676c798/kids+marshmallows+haystacker.jpg Life ~ Business ~ Undeniable Truths - ARE You AFRAID TO FAIL? - I feel like I failed in many areas, moving so much, listening to my kids when they were younger, being a better role model, etc. I did fail…many times and right now while I have three listings, future money spent, and $0… it feels like it. But I’ve been here before. When you do feel like a failure, it’s okay. It’s okay to fail. If you never fail you will never know the joy of success. You will never learn how not to fail. Failure is a crucial part of building wealth, building your business, and building yourself. Taking risks is so hard for many people. https://www.darlagreenwaldt.com/life/blog-post-title-two-mpm2s monthly 0.5 2025-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672e8b5a7883c765aa96738f/1750606595543-0E499TOX194DRRGT4HVZ/IMG_2020.jpeg Life ~ Business ~ Undeniable Truths - How I flipped a hotel - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672e8b5a7883c765aa96738f/f41800a4-875b-45e8-8027-aa7ce83ac6fc/1940s+St+James+Photos-horses-JPG.jpg Life ~ Business ~ Undeniable Truths - How I flipped a hotel - Make it stand out 1940s photo of the hotel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672e8b5a7883c765aa96738f/2bd62f95-b2e3-4800-91f3-a6e4e268836a/demo5.jpg Life ~ Business ~ Undeniable Truths - How I flipped a hotel - Here is one of the before photos of the main level with the brick flooring and wood beams and post that we kep https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672e8b5a7883c765aa96738f/b77d2ac9-e3b4-4e26-943c-cbc1d9e0c6b2/framing.jpg Life ~ Business ~ Undeniable Truths - How I flipped a hotel - We tore up years old disgusting carpet and started framing the three new suites we added on the main level.
