In this short, two speakers discuss entrepreneur Heather Blankenship, who built a $12 million RV‑park business after acquiring her first property—a park next to Dollywood in Tennessee—through a no‑recourse bank loan. They note her blue‑collar work ethic, her hands‑on approach of sleeping on the floor of the park, and her ongoing monthly women’s networking events in Florida. The story frames her strategy as an "Elon Musk method" that turned a single deal into a multi‑million‑dollar empire.

From the, the RV space. There's a coach out there by the name of Heather Blankenship. Oh.
Yeah, she has events here because, you know, she doesn't live far from here.
Right? No, she's. I don't know where she lives in Florida now, but originally she was up in Pigeon Forge. Yeah, she.
Lives in Florida now. We have, she has like a women's event once a month that I go to that she said.
Yeah. So here's, here's, here's my understanding of, of her deal. So very hard working girl, like blue collar, you know, a blue collar money earner. But what she, what she did was she tells people about this one deal. Her first deal she got, she got it on a, on a no recourse loan from the bank.
And.
What it was was that the, the RV park literally next to Dollywood in Tennessee was going out of business. They were belly up. They had, you know, bank issues. The bank, bank took the property back over. She went in and made an offer on the property, not knowing that, you know, the bank owned it or something like that. And what ended up happening was she was able to get from the bank a no recourse loan on the property and took it over, basically. So she went in and slept on the floor in the.
Yeah. She says that.
She did what I call the Elon Musk method, but she turned it into a 12 million dollar business. To my knowledge, that's the only time she's done it.
