"I was a young widow attempting to pursue a dream I never realized was my passion, trying to avoid the pain of losing my husband. I really wanted to succeed and be profitable as a real estate investor so I wouldn't have to face a false reality and work for someone else.
I wanted to improve my lifestyle and be able to make money, grow a rental portfolio and own my own real estate investment business.
The thing is I was lacking was credible education and guidance in the industry. That meant I wasn’t able to make money and grow a rental portfolio, let alone work for myself and improve my lifestyle.
To make things worse, I felt terrible because I felt like I was in this endeavor all alone and learning from the school of hard knocks. I felt even worse about the situation because I had no clue if all this work I was putting in was going to be in vain or bring a profit. I felt like I was starting from scratch every single day.
The problem was that I had no one I trusted to lead me in the right direction and answer all the questions I had. Which meant putting all this time, effort and money into a property only to breakeven at closing, which racked up credit card debt because I wasn't earning enough profit on my deals.
Then, as if by chance, something amazing happened...
I pursued God and made Him my CEO in this business and began to receive revelation and redirect my steps!
It became crystal clear to me how to stop stepping over dollars to save pennies. I realized that investing in myself would yield the highest return, because I finally had direction and experienced progress as the number of deals I closed increased which meant my profit went up too.
I also learned that my perspective on what I was doing and false beliefs about success were my biggest roadblocks. You need to stop thinking you can keep doing what you're doing and expect to get new results.
As a result, I forced myself to do what my coach instructed despite my own beliefs.
After I did that, I started getting more deals and earning more money. Suddenly, I was making enough money to pay all my bills, pay off debt, enjoy life and literally take a vacation every 6 weeks.
