• How did you get into the real estate business?
  • It’s in her blood, both her parents were in real estate.
  • Her father had an appreciation for true pride of ownership.
    • She has an old-school and rugged way of thinking of real estate.
    
    
  • She’s more interested in the narrative and relationships, building trust.

  • Started as a way to make money and turned into a way to build wealth.
  • She now teaches people about how money works and real estate is a part of that.

  • When you have a true love and passion you get to the top quickly.
  • During her divorce her financial situation fell apart.
    • She had a moment where she realized you can earn high incomes and be successful and still be broke.
    
    
  • The bigger the percentage between what we spend and what we make the more we invest and the faster we build wealth.
  • If we choose convenience and instant gratification, we have to be okay with the sum at the end of that equation.
  • When our residual income replaces our working income, we reach freedom.
    • Real estate investing is one way to start building future cash flow.
    
    
  • Can millennials save their way to wealth?
    • You cannot save your way to wealth, you must invest.
    • Savings is putting money away in a savings account and we put certain amounts of money there.
    • The reason why we save is because there are times when big expenses pop out of the blue and they would blow your budget.
    • There’s an average of $3,000 of unplanned expenses per year.
    • If you spend the exact amount that you make and you want to go on vacation, you end up putting it on a credit card.
      • You have the best of intentions to pay it off, but there’s no way unless you get a rise in income.
      
      
    • Savings accounts are for future spending.
    • You have to earn your way to wealth, but what does that mean?
      • The key to solving your financial problems is not just earning more money.
        • Parkinson’s Law – your lifestyle will always rise to meet your income.
        
        
      • Financial freedom is just time freedom.
        • It can only be attained through investing, not earning.
        • You’re not building your portfolio, you’re building your future cash flow.
        
        
      • If we’re earning $250,000 you might still feel broke because you’re on the hamster wheel of “earn, spend.”
        • Your planned expenses will then go up and your credit card bills and balances will also go up.
        
        
      • We need to make sure our bodies are no longer our ATM, our assets are.
      • Conventional finance is still built on the industrial age.
      • Hold your lifestyle expenses tight but get excited about investing.
      
      
    • What is your wealth a result of and how does networking fit in?
      • Relationships that come out of networking.
      • Your marriage is a part of your financial balance sheet because it can be a financial asset.
        • Your business and your health go on the balance sheet.
        
        
      • Helping others, making introductions, etc.
      • What’s the need for money and business if it’s not about other people in your life?
