"Everything good in life comes from a place of fear. Harnessing that energy can lead to positive change and growth."

In this episode of Business is Human, host Rebecca Fleetwood Hession sits down with Jackie Coffey, a real estate investor and entrepreneur, to explore the transformative power of fear and how it can be a catalyst for personal and professional growth. 

Jackie shares her compelling journey, sharing vivid anecdotes from her early days in real estate, including the FBI raid on her childhood home and the trials she faced while flipping her first house without any money, knowledge, or credit. She emphasizes the importance of perseverance and learning through trial and error, turning challenges into opportunities for success. Jackie’s reflections on her childhood, her mother’s resilience, and her own transformative experience at a skating competition show how fear can be harnessed for positive change and growth.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Fear is not an enemy but an energy that can drive you to success
• Rejection is a natural part of any journey, especially in business. When faced with setbacks, stay tenacious and keep knocking on doors until one opens
• Instead of seeing failures as endpoints, view them as beginnings that offer valuable lessons for future success
