"Driving for Dollars" as a Women

I live in Dallas, TX. I've been wanting to "drive for dollars" for months but have been putting it off out of safety concerns. It's never really addressed on the podcast that this method involves some risk approaching houses that are not always in the nicest parts of town. Personally, I'm in sales and I feel like this is something I would really be good at, but in the back of my head it feels a little risky as a women. Maybe I'm overthinking. I also do not feel comfortable asking friends to come with me, because none of my friends would find joy in door knocking. I'm very independent and I do not like to consume other people's time unless there is something in it for them. 

Where are my ladies at? Any tips and tricks to get around this? 

Thanks,

Katie

Hi Katie,

Even if your carrying, "Crime" happens so fast that you don't always get much response time.

Going into "Scary" areas is not something most people should do, male or female.

Pay attention to your "Spidey Senses" (and you will stand a lot better chance of remaining alive).

Good Luck!
