We recently celebrated Labor Day. Do you know why we celebrate Labor Day in the United States?
Because work - your work, my work, and the work of millions of Americans at all points of our incredibly diverse economy - is essential. In the late 19th century, as the Industrial Revolution fundamentally changed what work looked like and how people lived, workers began to insist that their needs and efforts be recognized and valued.
It was a process - of protests, organizing, educating, legislating, and then doing so again.
There have been incredible gains made by workers in this country and around the world, but things are not equal between men and women. The new August 2021 Jobs Report that just came out underscores the differences.
I made a quick video talking about it (one big difference is that almost 90% of new job gains went to men!), what that says about women and the workforce, and the solution for equalizing things and helping women build the wealth gap.
You learn a lot more from your failures than your successes. So don't be afraid to fail! Failure provides the crucial feedback you need for success. So fail fast, fail often and fail forward! That's one of the best ways to learn what you need to know in order to achieve the dreams you're chasing.
It's September. The sun is getting a little softer. There is a cool breeze every now and then. My daughter has gone back to school. This is the time of school supplies, paper-wrapped textbooks, and seeing that first school bus of the year.
The return of that learning rhythm is as much a part of Fall as the turning leaves and pumpkin spice lattes.
You and I may be done with the first days of class, but there is still so much to learn. Maybe you’re ready to work towards a life with more flexibility, more community, more impact, and the financial freedom that you’ve dreamt of (but just aren't sure of where to start). If the turning season has you inspired to learn, I want to invite you to a special training that is back by popular demand (and it's totally FREE!):

The problem is not a lack of resources. It's a lack of resourcefulness. - Tony Robbins
I hear from so many women that they'd LOVE to get into real estate investing, but there's always an excuse why they think they can't invest now. I'm going to be honest. I’m tired of the excuses.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand why so many women hold back. Real estate can be intimidating, especially when you look around a male-dominated room. All the moving pieces, figuring out the money, thoughts of dealing with the 3 Ts (tenants, toilets, termites), not being sure who to trust, not knowing where you'll find the time - I understand.
But, here’s the thing. There is a way for any goddess (regardless of budget or situation) to get into the game of real estate investing. My mission is to help one million women create financial freedom through real estate investing, and I'm obsessed with making it happen. That's why I've packed all the possible resources and support I can find into our...

I want to introduce you to members of our community who are successfully building their real estate portfolios and are on their way to financial freedom. Some are relatively new, while others have been at it for a while.

Here’s a recap of what we talked about:
Brene Brown said it - “If you’re not in the arena getting your butt kicked too, I’m not interested in your feedback”.
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 Women’s 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...

Get creative in real estate investing! If everyone is doing the same thing, it will be competitive and expensive for you. So try to think outside of the box instead.
For example, hotels weren't doing so well during the peak of Covid because people were not traveling. Therefore, a lot of hotel owners were trying to sell their property. However, a lot of investors are looking to purchase apartment buildings so their tenants can pay their mortgage and they can live for free. If you allow yourself to think creatively as an investor, you may be able to think of a new, creative solution that no one has tried before. What if, instead of doing what everyone else was doing, you purchased a hotel, at a low cost, and turned it into apartments? Then you can purchase it for a low cost and be able to make a lucrative cash flow from it. THIS is how thinking creatively can help you get ahead in real estate investing.
Most investors are looking down the fork in the road and deciding if they should...
Back in 2005, Candace Bushnell (the author who brought Sex in the City to life) told an interviewer this quote. Bushnell had a point. Women are bombarded with limiting beliefs about money from childhood on - from media, movies, magazines, and, often, our own families.
But, you? You have the opportunity to interrupt that cycle for your family. Real estate offers the opportunity to step through the door of investment opportunity.
The United Nations found that when we economically empower women, we find improved productivity and economic diversification. The world is better when women have the money and power that Bushnell pointed out as uncomfortable.
Inside the Real Estate Investor Goddess program, we tackle the tough topics with support and community. The I shared a FB Live on Women, Power and Money -- two things we need to do to get comfortable with having more power and money.

Let's get you over any discomfort or limiting beliefs. The world needs...
