Ever wondered what it really takes to leave a successful corporate career and build your own real estate empire? In this powerful episode of The Freedom Framework Show, Gerrit Van Maanen takes us behind the scenes of his journey from a high-powered position at one of America's fastest-growing self-storage companies to launching his own venture - with just 12 months of runway and a baby on the way.

Gerrit shares the raw truth about making this massive transition, including:

• How he prepared financially and mentally for the leap
• Why he started with a 'small' $2.5M deal that others might have ignored
• How he scaled to $28M in pipeline deals while maintaining family balance
• The real challenges of transitioning from employee to owner mindset
• His practical advice for others looking to break free from corporate life

Plus, discover why 'bigger isn't always better' in real estate, and how focusing on smaller, quality deals can actually lead to higher profits and more freedom than chasing massive volume.
