Brene Brown said it - âIf youâre not in the arena getting your butt kicked too, Iâm not interested in your feedbackâ.
When I invite experts to speak to the goddesses in my Wealthy Goddess Program, I look for people who have fought my fight and won. Leaders who experience and speak to the highs and lows of investing instead of pretending they have all the answers. Women who are in the game, in the arena, right now.
Last August 9th South Africa celebrated National Womenâs Day in honor of the more than 20,000 women who shifted the course of history for their nation when they marched for social justice in 1956. They understood the importance of being brave and getting into the arena. These women also understood the power of standing together, raising each other up, and walking together.
Within the REIG community, I know that often we need to know how other women are handling the challenges of the real estate industry - financially, socially, in our families. Our shared experiences make ...

Hereâs a recap of what we talked about:
Women are 50% of the population, but less than 30% of real estate investors are women. Why is that?
One reason is that many women don't even see it as a possibility for themselves. Another big reason is fear.
Women are scared to get involved in real estate investing because: they don't know enough about it; they don't think they have sufficient resources; they don't know who they can trust; and/or they don't have the right guidance or mentorship to begin powerfully.â
â
That's why I'm so passionate about the REI Goddesses community.â
There are two main ways to lose money in a real estate investment: invest in the wrong vehicle (for you) or invest in a bad vehicle. Both are the result of a lack of education. Without education, you will not be able to tell a good deal from a bad deal, or a good deal for you from a bad deal for you.
A while back, I had the pleasure of interviewing Barbara Huson (formerly Barbara Stanny), author of the books Secrets of Six-Figure Women, Overcoming Underearning, Sacred Success, and Rewire for Wealth (among others).

Even though Barbara was the daughter of Richard Bloch, the âRâ in H&R Block, and grew up very wealthy, she was never taught anything about money. Her father didnât think it was a womanâs place to deal with money.
As a result of her fatherâs attitude, she grew up wealthy and blissfully ignorant, and married a man whom she entrusted with all the financial de...

1. Strategic Confidence:
When you wake up in the morning, you know that the time you are investing in your business has a direct impact on your forward progress towards your goals.

Growing your real estate business like a goddess is not about the hustle. It requires holding space for the things that fuel you, that recharge you, that fulfill you and allow in ease, ...

One of the first questions you need to ask yourself, as an aspiring real estate investor, is what resources do you currently have at your disposal for real estate investing? This will give you a better idea of how to create a personalized plan or blueprint that helps you making the most of what you have.Â
As a real estate investor, your best resources (other than money) are time, experience, education, and relationships. Let me break them down a little further:â
One question to ask yourself as you begin your investing journey is, how much available time do you have? Realistically you need time for finding the property, finding the financing, managing and renovating the property (if needed or desired), managing outside investors, etc. If time is not one of the resources you have, then partner with someone who has that resource more available!â
Hereâs the thing- the more experience you have, the more time and money you will save. With experience, you know wh...
As women, we use to think that we can do it all, that we need to have everything perfect, and that's ok. Those are qualities of our personality that help us be one step ahead of lifeâs everyday challenges. But, when it comes to investing, some of the things that most of the time work in our favor, may become mistakes that can cost us valuable time and money.
Here you have a list of the most common mistakes women make in real estate investment:
Â
One of the biggest mistakes we see women make in real estate investing (before they even begin) is waiting for the âperfectâ time to begin. This is a HUGE mistake because as badass women who juggle 100 things at once. there will never be a perfect time. There will never be a perfect property, a perfect bank account balance, a perfect sign from the universe... and you waiting is only you getting in the way of your own happiness. Getting started and gaining that mom...
