What does it take to build a career that aligns with your strengths, supports your personal life, and fuels your passion? In this episode, we continue our conversation with Anna Krueger, diving into how she strategically designed a career that gives her both financial success and the freedom to live on her terms. After years of navigating personal challenges—including being a full-time caretaker for her mother—Anna knew she needed a role that not only leveraged her natural talents but also provided the flexibility to prioritize what mattered most.

From stepping into the world of real estate inside sales to becoming a sought-after coach and trainer, Anna shares how she identified opportunities, created her own path, and fiercely protected her time and energy. She discusses the power of StrengthsFinder in shaping her career, the importance of time blocking and boundaries, and how she transitioned from one-on-one coaching to scalable training programs that maximize her impact. Her journey is a testament to the idea that success isn’t just about working harder—it’s about working in alignment with who you are.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a role that doesn’t quite fit or wondered how to create a career that truly supports your life, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration. Anna’s story proves that the best way forward isn’t always conventional, but with intention and strategy, you can craft a business and life you love.
