Kelli — From Nursing Shifts to Land Dreams

squeezed in our call during a break from her nursing shift—still in scrubs, sitting in her car. That image sums her up well: driven, resourceful, and unwilling to let busy schedules erase her bigger vision. She sees glamping as her path forward, and she’s ready to make it happen.

Her starting point:

A promising property in Wisconsin with regional outdoor traffic and natural draw.
A solid healthcare career that funds the dream but stretches her time thin.
A clear desire to begin with one or two units and build momentum from there.

The challenge:

The land belongs to her boyfriend, and his position: no rentals until sewer and electricity are brought to the site. Kelli admitted this has been frustrating, because those upgrades aren’t necessary for launching a simple, authentic stay. But here’s the truth: she can’t change his timeline.

The opportunity for Kelli:

Respect his concerns, even if they feel like overkill.
Use the waiting time to sharpen her skills—draft listings, study the market, and map out the guest experience.
Build a vision that’s ready to launch the moment she’s given the nod—or, if she chooses, explore opportunities beyond his land where she has more control.

The bigger picture:

Kelli’s grit is her edge. She’s already shown she’ll carve time out of thin air to keep moving forward. She's got tremendous momentum, and someday she'll be ready when the gate opens.
