Stop Toning Yourself Down | Liz Rehner on Building a Business as Yourself

You don’t have to tone yourself down to build a successful business. Liz Rehner, owner of Elite Leverage Inc., joins Terra Csotty on Beyond the Bio to talk about ADHD, authentic leadership, and finding work that fits the way your brain works. After a pandemic layoff, Liz turned a request to help a friend with a real estate listing into a transaction coordination business. She shares how structure and systems help her thrive, why agents struggle to delegate, and how her team keeps the details moving so agents can focus on their clients. The conversation also gets personal: hiding parts of yourself to appear professional, learning to work with people who appreciate the real you, and defining success beyond revenue. Liz shares a story about helping a client grow enough to hire one of her own team members, plus the accountability that comes with running your own business.
