This time of year, to-do lists fill up and it can feel like we are being bombarded with things to do, remember, and attend. It can be overwhelming - but, I take a deep breath and remind myself to embrace this busy season.

Back in 2008, the Fall and early Winter was a tense time. I had a newborn, was unemployed, and the economy was in free-fall. There were no job prospects in sight.

I had been fired when I was 5 1/2 months pregnant. I’d decided that I would wait until after I gave birth to my daughter and had a short maternity period before looking for another job.

My daughter was born in late August 2008. Within a month the markets started to plummet. As did my husband’s graphic design business - his income dropped by 90%! UGH!

Even though it was really tight and REALLY scary, what saved us was the real estate we had previously acquired.

We were far from financially independent.  Our two California properties barely cash-flowed. But, it did help keep a roof over our heads though, ...

As Thanksgiving approaches, it's a wonderful time for us, the community of Real Estate Investor Goddesses, to reflect on the many blessings and lessons this year has brought. In the world of real estate investing, where highs and lows are part of the journey, embracing gratitude can be a powerful tool for both personal growth and professional success.

The Power of Gratitude in Our Professional Lives

1. Overcoming Challenges with a Thankful Heart

   1. Real estate investing comes with its fair share of challenges. This Thanksgiving, let's take a moment to be thankful for these hurdles, as they are opportunities for growth and learning. Each obstacle overcome is a testament to our resilience and adaptability.

2. Celebrating Wins, Big and Small

   • Whether it was closing a significant deal, making a first investment, or simply learning a new aspect of the market, every win counts. Let's celebrate all our achievements and be thankful for the progress we've made, no matter the s

The final quarter of the year is upon us, and for all the fabulous women in the real estate investing world, it's time to gear up and finish strong. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, these five essential tips will guide you to success. And yes, there's a sprinkle of humor along the way because who said real estate can't be fun?

1. Master Your Budget:
First on our list is the cornerstone of any successful business: budgeting. Dive deep into your financials and assess where you stand. Are there areas where you've overspent? Or perhaps opportunities you haven't tapped into yet? Q4 is the perfect time to recalibrate and ensure you're on the path to profitability.

2. Power of Networking:
Ever had one of those virtual meetings where your pet decided to steal the spotlight? Embrace those moments and the power of networking. Whether you're connecting online or face-to-face, building relationships with fellow investors, agents, and clients is invaluable. And hey, a little humo...

The sun is getting a little softer. There is a cool breeze every now and then. It brings back memories of school supplies, paper wrapped text books 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 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, then you must join our special in-person event that I’m co-hosting with Tresa Todd of the Women’s Real Estate Investors Network (WREIN)

Our Invest Like a Woman Event, happening September 7-9, 2023 is going to share specific, actionable strategies for how you can successfully invest in real estate as a woman.

Join us, as we share what’s working now in this economy for women...

Hey, this is Monick Halm of Real Estate Investor Goddesses. And I'm here with another video. Today I want to talk to you about something that can really stop a lot of us women from moving forward with our real estate investing, and that is imposter syndrome.

So what is imposter syndrome? Imposter syndrome is a feeling of unworthiness or incompetence, despite accomplishments and success. And it's that feeling you get. You're about to do something, and you think, "Oh, my God! I can't do it when I do it. Everyone's going to know. I'm a fake, and I'm an imposter, and I have no business doing this." And it's not true, but it's a feeling that is very common. So how do you deal with that feeling? And this is something that's come up for me because, recently, I had these.

• She heard about the Wealth Through Real Estate Event from her CPA, Marie Grasmeier, who was coming to speak at the event.  She came to the event and in her words, she was "blown away" by the content and the community. It was "
