"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."

― Oprah.

I am so thankful for each and every one of you for being a part of this online community. REI Goddesses would not be what it is today without the love, support and dedication from each of you. So, today, I am giving thanks for you.

"Don't let anyone convince you that your dream, your vision to be an entrepreneur, is something that you shouldn't do. What often happens is that people who are well-meaning, who really care for us, are afraid for us and talk us out of it."

― Cathy Hughes.

Today’s motivational quote is from an incredible woman- Cathy Hughes. And if this quote weren’t inspiration enough, here is a little bit more about Cathy’s story:

Cathy Hughes is a dynamic, media pioneer who demonstrates the power of one – one woman, one vision, one company – Urban One, formerly known as Radio One. As Founder and Chairperson of Urban One, Inc., the largest African-American owned and operated broadcast company in the nation, Hughes’ unprecedented career has spawned a multi-media conglomerate that generates original content across the spectrum of radio, television, and digital media.

In 1999, Cathy Hughes became the first African-American woman to chair a publicly held corporation,...

"I always did something, I was a little not ready to do. I think that's how you grow. When there is that moment of 'Wow, I'm not really sure I can do this', and you push through those moments, that's when you have a breakthrough." 

― Marissa Mayer.

Growth can be scary. Growth can be unpredictable. Growth can be difficult. BUT that’s what makes the growth life-changing.

Don’t be scared of taking the leap because you feel like you’re “not ready.” Sometimes taking the leap is exactly what you needed to do to GET ready!

Thank you, Marissa Mayer, for this lovely inspiration today!

"Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way".

― Lee Brown.

YES! Because the obstacles will come, goddess, and it’s up to you how you are going to handle them when they do…

Ready for me to blow your mind? All 3 of these reasons are based on myths and misconceptions.

Those excuses are just excuses! They are not necessarily true.

- You don’t need a ton of money to invest in real estate (in fact, there are ways to get started investing with as little as $0!)

- You don’t need to have a ton of time to invest in real estate (in fact, some investments are completely passive!)

- You definitely don’t have to deal with tenants, toilets or termites in order to invest (in fact, many investments never require you to touch the 3 T’s!)

And yet, women use these three excuses ALL the time and prevent themselves from achieving the financial freedom they desire. When I hear one of these excuses I know that the woman saying it just doesn’t know enough about real estate investing and all the numerous ways that she can get involved. So I created a 40-page guide titled: Investing in Real Estate from $1 to $1 Million to help educate women on 12...

"Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness."

― Oprah.

Absolutely!! I am proud of my failures because they have made me stronger and brought me to where I am today.

“My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent.”

― Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Thank you, RBG, for this amazing quote and for being an inspiration/advocate for all women. We will never forget your legacy.

“When you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. You reach back."

- Michelle Obama.

That is what makes a true GODDESS! That is the beauty of a SISTERHOOD! That is the power of WOMEN!

And reaching back, supporting each other, and lifting each other up is exactly what we at REI Goddesses are all about. 

I am tired of seeing a room full of wealthy investors where so very few are women. And we know you are tired of this as well.

It's SOOO possible, and I'm tired of the excuses we make that keep us from getting in the game. Some of it is due to fear. Much of it is due to myths and misinformation, and not knowing what's possible!

That's why I've written this 40-page guide and am giving it away for free right now - to show you how you can start to invest in real estate even if you have little to no money, little to no time, and don't want to ever deal with tenants.

In my new guide, I've shared 12 strategies:

-3 that are sweat equity strategies (for the goddess who is willing to roll up her sleeves, but wants to invest little to none of her own money).

-3 are passive investing strategies (for the goddess who wants her money working for her and doesn't want to spend time finding or managing properties)

-3 are buy-and-hold strategies (this is for the goddess who wants to invest in a more...
