In this BizBlend episode, host Sana sits down with top producing real estate agent and entrepreneur Keren Gonen to strip away the highlight reel and talk about what success really costs. Keren shares how growing up in an entrepreneurial family in Israel, surviving the Gulf War, moving to the US as a teen, losing her mother to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, navigating divorce, and becoming a single mom all forced her to redefine what a “successful life” means.
She breaks down the unglamorous side of entrepreneurship. waking up unemployed every day, building a career pivot in real estate at 39, holding family responsibilities, leadership roles, and community service without pretending it is easy. This conversation is a straight, grounded look at freedom, money, faith, control, and the quiet power of choosing your reaction instead of staying in victim mode.
If you are in a chapter where your life does not look like your LinkedIn headline or Instagram grid, this episode will challenge you to rewrite your own definition of success on your terms.
About the Guest:
Keren Gonen is a top producing real estate agent and entrepreneur who pivoted into real estate at 39 after nearly two decades helping build a logistics company with her family. She has closed close to 24 million dollars in sales volume in 2024 and is ranked as the number one agent in Sussex County.
An immigrant from Israel and a single mom turned newly remarried partner, Keren blends hard nosed sales and leadership experience with a clear commitment to being a source of light and love in a noisy world. She is also deeply involved in her community, serving as PTA or SCA president, leading networking groups like Referral Roundtable, and heading the BW Nice Sussex chapter. Her work is grounded in faith, service, and radical accountability, not just metrics.
Key Takeaways:


Success is not just revenue and rankings. For Keren it is freedom. choosing how to spend her mornings, when to travel with her kids, and not dancing to someone else’s music.


Entrepreneurship is both power and risk. as an independent contractor, if you do not sell, you do not eat. There is no glass ceiling, but there is also no safety net.


Losing her mother and hearing stories of how she quietly helped women leave abuse, ask for raises, and start businesses shaped Keren’s own mission. to be remembered for how she helped, not what she posted.


Divorce taught her that doing everything alone inside a marriage is not partnership. She decided never to depend blindly on anyone, yet also learned the strength in letting the right partner share the load.


Keren rejects victim mentality. instead of staying in “this happened to me,” she asks what the experience is here to teach and chooses a response rooted in agency and accountability.


On the hard days, she grounds herself in faith and nature. putting hands or feet in the dirt, remembering her smallness in a bigger plan, and reconnecting to purpose instead of performance.
