Investing & Strategy for Ladies

Men and women solidify their investing strategies very differently. I've spent my entire career life in male dominated industries, I see that Real Estate is no different.

I see women in networking meetings, and way too often they have that look like a deer in the headlights. The uncertainty comes through and affects their entire ability to do this business. It happens with men sometimes too, but men, in general are attracted to the “let’s crush it” attitude. The motivational videos shown in the seminars are of male athletes pushing themselves harder than ever to success.

Where that education and motivation is fine, there are plenty of women that are convinced that real estate investing is a money making method for building wealth, but just don’t align themselves with the “let’s crush it” mind set, or believing that “it’s simple”. That’s not how we are wired.

The women I know that have done well in real estate experience their own path to success. Listening to their stories on how they are able to invest in real estate for so long has some common themes. Confidence, trying at the risk of failing, independent thinking, making quick decisions, and of course understanding the numbers are just some of those common themes.

This has been on my mind for some time and I'm starting some forums for like minded ladies to communicate, validate and speak openly about strategies.  And men, not to worry, there is no "man bashing" allowed.  It's all about what we can do to help ourselves improve in this business.
