The InvestHER Podcast

You create your reality, and it all starts in your head. Will it be the worst or the best day? It's all up to you. In this episode, Liz and Andresa sit down with Staci Danford to discuss the power of the human brain, and how we could 'reboot' it, and use it to our advantage. She also talks about how we could intentionally fill up our memory bank and practice gratitude so we are less influenced by external factors, and we can live life as we planned it. Staci Danford has a Master’s Degree in Mind, Brain, and Education. She’s a TEDx speaker and has been a GRATITUDE consultant for the ABC News show, Good Morning Texas. She is also the owner and operator of The Grateful Brain, a consulting company that uses Neuroscience to help individuals, schools, and companies understand that: YOUR BRAIN POWER IS YOUR SUPERPOWER… but only if you know how to use it! Staci and her husband Larry live in Azle, Texas. She is the mother of three incredible children and a precious grandbaby who is 6 months old! Tune in until the end to learn how you can take charge of your life by correcting your brain patterns and strengthening your mind. Let's get started! Quotes • “The difference is, I call it casual thanks, just saying thank you. When somebody holds the door open for you, or somebody lets you into traffic and you kind of give them a little happy wave. That's not gratitude. That's just saying thank you. That's appreciation. It's different. But deep gratitude has to activate the chemicals in your brain because it activates an emotional feeling.” (10:53-11:16) • “The secret is to ask your brain why. Why am I grateful? Why am I saying thank you?" (11:27-11:32) • “One of the myths of gratitude is it's the cure-all and it's not. As a matter of fact, the newest research shows that when people force themselves to be grateful, it actually backfires.” (20:40-20:50) • “The greatest discovery of neuroscience in the last 100 years is neuroplasticity, and that tells us that up until the day we die, our brain has the ability to be malleable and change. But how does it change? Repetition. Repetition is the secret to everything” (26:37-26:53) • “The world is not here for your joy and amusement. And sadly, your brain does not care about your happiness. It does not care about you at all… Your brain is your job. You have to make yourself happy. Your joy is your job. And if somebody is upsetting you, you need to know why. The why is the problem not the people.” (29:44-30:14)  • “If you understand how to tap into your clients' gratitude language, you could probably sell them anything because people all want to be seen, heard, and understood. That's our brain's innate wiring system. We all want that.” (41:29-41:47) Connect with Staci: Website: https://thegratefulbrain.com IG: @stacidanford Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/staci.danford LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/staci-danford-m-b-e-71a03a102/   Resources mentioned:  Brené Brown The Molecule of More by Daniel Z.

If you want to be taken seriously as an investor, then you need to have a track record. Your track record is your resume, and it showcases your skills and establishes your credibility. In this minisode, Liz and Andresa break down the basics of building a one-page track record. Having a track record document that highlights your successes is important especially when you are looking for private money lenders. It tells them what results you have already been able to achieve in the past and what kind of return on investment you are likely to deliver in the future. Tune in and take notes so you can start creating your track record now!  Quotes • “I want you to be very, very simple with this. Do not create this long, 20-page information. I am talking about one piece of paper." (1:31-1:43) • “It's very important that you are graphic, but be mindful of it. Do not put this gallery of pictures there. It’s before and after next to each other, that’s it.” (2:37-2:52) • “When people come to you, what they have in their head is: How am I going to get my money back?’ And you need to make sure that you answer that question.” (4:24-4:33) • “What I encourage you to do is upload that into a Google Drive where you have a link that is public, meaning everybody that has that link can have access to it.” (5:15-5:25) • “This just helps you really get organized. Like, you are sophisticated. You are a real estate investor, and you'll be taken seriously.” (6:29-6:37) • “Create that right after you're done with the project. Do you all know why? So you don’t forget.” (6:51-6:58) InvestHER CON  Time: June 23-24  Place: Charlotte, NC InvestHER CON is a full circle transformational experience created with the women investors’ needs, desires, and schedules in mind.

Let’s face it: it’s hard to talk about money. We are so conditioned to think that bringing it up, even to family and friends, is tacky and rude that we’d rather not talk about it at all. However, what we need to realize now is that money is power! And avoiding the discussion only takes away our control over our finances and wealth.  In this episode, Vivian Tu joins Liz and Andresa to bring a fresh take on financial literacy. She discusses how open and honest conversations can help overcome our outdated mindsets about money. She also shares practical budgeting and money management strategies we can use to gain more confidence in our finances.  Vivian Tu aka @YourRichBFF is an ex-Wall Street Trader turned financial literacy creator. She didn’t like how the topic of finance only seem to cater to old, rich, and male audiences. Now, Vivian is on a mission to make money talk fun by blending topics like student debt and home-buying with anecdotes about celebs and funny stories. With over 1 million followers on TikTok, she aims to bring inclusive and easy-to-understand personal finance and investing content to women and underserved communities as well as to the next generation of BFFs. Quotes • “Our financial services industry has largely served audiences that are male and pale, and unfortunately for women, for people of color, for marginalized communities, like the LGBTQ community, we haven't been given this education.” (9:52-10:05) • “Not having those conversations puts us in a worse spot than if we were to able to benchmark ourselves essentially against our peers and get information and share that important knowledge." (10:26-10:27) • “I actually prefer to deposit the majority of my paycheck into one account and then set aside money for savings that just automatically goes elsewhere. I don't even look at it. I pretend like it didn't come in. And then I never think about it again. But because I don't think about it, the number I see on my banking app is smaller. So I don't feel that false sense of comfort so that I go and spend frivolously.” (14:52-15:14) • “We, as women have always been told, we are overspenders. We love to go on shopping sprees. We max out those credit cards and we have been told the way to create a surplus in the amount of money we have is to cut back. Don't buy that coffee. Don't buy that dress. Do nothing for yourself. Basically, be miserable. Whereas our male counterparts have been told to, you know, grow your wealth, invest, be an entrepreneur.” (19:33-19:56) • “You can only save as much as you earn.” (20:21-20:23)  • “We love to read tabloids and talk about pop culture. Why can't talking about money be just like that?” (24:59-25:05) Connect with Vivian: Website: https://www.yourrichbff.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/your.richbff/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgbXT2QuTj4SYxaWCs3vuAw TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yourrichbff   Resources mentioned:  Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office by Lois P.

Real estate is an ever-changing market, and every investor and realtor should know that the only way to survive is to ride the wave. What steps do we have to take to set ourselves up for success? In this minisode, Liz and Andresa give actionable advice on how investors and real estate agents can adapt to a market shift. Opportunities will increase but lenders will be more conservative, so it’s important for investors to find ways to free up cash. For agents, they can prepare by diversifying their investments and pooling investors. Listen in as Liz and Andresa discuss more strategies to thrive during an industry shakeout. Quotes • “Things are going to change or things are going to stay the same. Whatever happens, there are opportunities there." (1:59-2:05) • “As an investor, you can observe. You can watch the deals on the market. You can watch the inventory coming... And you can shoot when you feel that it’s a deal. The question is, do you have your criteria very crystal clear?” (2:42-3:01) • “For realtors… Diversify. Add investors on your pool. Get to know who are the players in your area.” (6:53-7:02) • “Make sure that you are in a community of like-minded women who’ve been there and done that.” (7:51-7:56) • “Be patient. Don’t make decisions based on emotions. Get as much cash as you can, whether it’s yours or someone else’s, legally. And start becoming observant of what’s happening. As fear increases, opportunities will increase.” (9:05-9:19) • “Get the right education. Don't listen to people that are not even investing in real estate right now. Those aren't the people you want to listen to.” (10:02-10:10) InvestHER CON  Time: June 23-24  Place: Charlotte, NC InvestHER CON is a full circle transformational experience created with the women investors’ needs, desires, and schedules in mind.

Change can be scary and stressful, but it can also be the most rewarding decision you will ever make. Are you dreaming of taking that risk, or making that leap?  In this episode, Liz and Andresa welcome Jasmine Williams to talk about the power of pivoting. After years of living paycheck to paycheck as a relator on autopilot, she shares how she took action to change the course of her life and her career. By shifting strategies, building systems, and surrounding herself with the right people, she was able to successfully adjust her goals in order to achieve her dreams.   Today, Jasmine is a real estate agent investment coach, and womanpreneur committed to helping women realize their full potential and dominate the world through real estate. Quotes • “When you don't have options, you have to work with whoever. And that is not the reason why most of us start businesses, we want to start businesses because we want to work with the people that we love to work with.” (8:50-9:01) • “As a realtor, you would think that it would be easy for us to just kind of pivot into being investors, but it's not really that easy because there's not a lot of women in our space that are investors, so realtors that are also investors." (9:26-9:40) • “Having a contractor that I love and trust was really essential. And that was like one of the major parts of making me feel like, ‘Okay, I can get this done.’ Because every day there was progress.” (16:13-15:25) • “I lean in on people. This is the magic sauce. Training them to the point that they are able to kind of run things. It still honestly hasn't gotten to the point where I can step away fully, but if I need to take a day, I can and the business still runs.” (19:19-19:36) • “It's having that flexibility and also having a lot of systems in the reserves.” (25:38-25:45)  • “A lot of people don't like to wake up early. But there’s something about having those quiet moments before your house wakes up that is transformational. ” (33:03-33:11) Connect with Jasmine: Bio: https://greeneverythingcommunity.com/about Website: www.greeneverythingcommunity.com IG: @greenrealestatemom Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasmine.s.williams1981/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasminewilliamsrei/   Resources mentioned:  The Millionaire Real Estate Agent by Gary Keller Brandon Turner Keller Williams Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki We Should All Be Millionaires by Rachel Rodgers InvestHER CON  Time: June 23-24  Place: Charlotte, NC InvestHER CON is a full circle transformational experience created with the women investors’ needs, desires, and schedules in mind.

With social media fueling the real estate frenzy, it’s easy to feel that you’re going to be left behind if you don’t jump into every opportunity that comes your way. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, FOMO is real, and it can lead to a lot of bad investments and regrets.  In this minisode, Liz and Andresa discuss the dangers of FOMO or the fear of missing out. Liz stresses the importance of focusing on a specific market.  By niching down, you’ll be able to gain expertise in that area and develop more long-term relationships with brokers and realtors. Don’t let FOMO stop you from making smart decisions. Tune in now! Quotes • “I just mean focusing on a market. And really, what does that mean? That number one, you start to look at that market as a long-term play.” (3:32-3:40) • “The opportunity to build relationships is critical when you're focusing on a market rather than popping into different markets." (4:41-4:47)  • “You know, with regards to under-the-radar markets, once you focus, you got to have local boots on the ground.” (6:38-6:43) • “Don't get mixed up with the fear of missing out. You need to focus on a market and determine the type of market is, what type of asset class you want to go after, and what type of market you want to get into, how close, how local, all questions you can start to navigate.” (7:31-7:40) • “Had we been so diverse and distracted, I don't think we would have as many units in that area and really be able to leverage with a partner like a property management company.” (8:10-8:20) • “Focus on a market and go all in on that. Build those relationships and start making things happen.” (8:27-8:31) InvestHER CON  Time: June 23-24  Place: Charlotte, NC InvestHER CON is a full circle transformational experience created with the women investors’ needs, desires, and schedules in mind.

When you’re life is turned upside down, how will you find your ground? In this episode, Chandra Lacy tells us how she rose up from a challenging situation and created a new path for herself as a real estate investor. She found a gap in the market and structured a business model that took her from 0 to 90 rental doors. Together with Liz and Andresa, they discuss the importance of finding partnerships, building networks, and having the courage to chase your goals. It started in 2018 when Chandra Lacy noticed a dramatic decrease in inventory. This meant it was harder to find homes for her clients, and she decided to take things into her own hands. Chandra created an inventory and immediately began to work with investors to assist in renovating properties to create beautiful "like-new" homes. This was the start of her flipping business and, with the profits she makes from this, she buys rentals. Through this system, Chandra was able to take her business to the next level. She has also acquired 3 mobile home parks, 60 storage units, and one warehouse with 19 mobile units and 63 RV parking rentals.  As a single mom and a domestic violence survivor, Chandra is passionate about teaching other women how to achieve financial freedom. Quotes • “When your wheel is set in motion and fixed, and you're focused on that, and you can go, there's motion. It is a beautiful thing.” (14:24-14:36) • “The synergy that we had in a partnership was key. We don't fight or have conflict over issues… it's more about finding solutions. And that's what really catapulted us to this next level." (18:44-18:58) • “Don't live in fear. Build your community because they will build you up. And they will get you past that fear. And then you can achieve everything you want once you have that support behind you.” (27:56-28:08) • “We cannot be afraid to ask. Ask for what you want. Ask for what you need.” (33:34-33:38) • “Don't just get lost in the avalanche of business but dive in and say what is it that I need now? Is it the assets? Or is it the cash flow? And then make that happen.” (36:54-37:04)  • “As women, we have these dreams in our hearts that we are fearful of sharing because of loss, because of turmoil we've been through in our life. And when we open up those dreams, and talk, and let it be part of our story, that world unfolds for us.” (39:33-39:42) Connect with Chandra: IG: https://www.instagram.com/chandralacyrealestate_/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chandralacy/ Website: https://www.yilahomes.com/   Resources mentioned:  StrengthsFinder2.0 by Tom Rath The Awakened Woman by Dr. Tererai Trent InvestHER CON  Time: June 23-24  Place: Charlotte, NC InvestHER CON is a full circle transformational experience created with the women investors’ needs, desires, and schedules in mind.

$100,000 for a lot of people is not that much. But for others, it’s all they have. Regardless of how much it is for you, there are always better ways to spend any amount of money. In this minisode, Liz and Andresa give their take on the question “What would I do with a $100,000?” They emphasize that there is a process behind making any decision and that you cannot just rely on gut instinct or intuition. Rather, you need to have a plan. There are also no guarantees in investing. Losing money is always a possibility and it’s important to have conversations with the people involved to manage any potential risks. Listen to the conversation and come up with your own answer, too! Quotes • “The key there, is if you start to evaluate, do you have a lot of time that might make sense if you want to be more active in this business? You want to go look for the property, you want to manage the project, etcetera. If you don't have a lot of time and time is not on your side, then maybe passive investing or partnering with someone might be a better option for you.” (3:18-3:38) • “There's knowing that not just, you know, the type of money, obviously, the 100 grand, but what do you want to have done with that money? Not just the investment, but the return." (5:45-5:54)  • "Treat your local investments as if it is out of state. Don't want to create another job for yourself? So who do you need on your team? What process can you put in place? It doesn't matter if it is local or out of state. The process and systems are the same with the goal that you are not in it." (7:17-7:42) • “We try not to do everything ourselves. We can't have buildings in other states now and do everything ourselves. But had we gotten that lesson maybe a little sooner, maybe we would have expanded a little sooner.” (8:11-8:18) • “If you want to invest, think about what happens if you lose it all? Can you live with it? Can you continue building it?” (9:46-9:55) • “What's the best-case scenario? And we always want to encourage you to talk like that. Don't just talk about the worst-case scenario, that's not the fun part. But you need to talk about it, need to be very real and authentic about it.” (10:55-11:03) InvestHER CON  Time: June 23-24  Place: Charlotte, NC InvestHER CON is a full circle transformational experience created with the women investors’ needs, desires, and schedules in mind.

Investing is a risk. That’s the reality. Some found quick success but for others, it’s not been a flowery path. In this episode, Liz and Andresa share an honest conversation with Ginny Adkins. She’s a real estate entrepreneur who had gone through ups and downs at the start of her career. From losing everything, even a friend along the way, she has built herself and her business back up by learning from her mistakes and leaning on her network. Listen in and be inspired by her story! Ginny Adkins bought her first flip in 2016 and lost a lot of money. But she kept going. She’s been a turnkey provider for many leaders in the industry including Real Wealth Network, Get Rich Education, the Real Estate Radio Guys, and others. For 5 years, she’s been a real estate agent, and now, she’s a Broker Associate with the InvestHer EXP Team where she also leads the Orlando InvestHer Meetup. Ginny has an Interior Design background with a side staging business and a local pool service business. Happily married for nearly 26 years to Joel, they have two amazing grown daughters, Shelby & Kasey. Ginny also loves to travel and spend time with my family.  Quotes • “I think what was running through my head was I'm not letting this happen. I just can't let this happen. My family needs me to succeed. ” (20:05-20:15) • “I was really scared. I'm not going to lie. There were times when I was really scared, and I was like, I don't know if I can do this. But what I did know is that I knew people, That's so key. And I would say that to any woman out there, it is all about who's your circle." (20:56-21:17) • “I know a lot of people have great success in a short amount of time. I think because of what I've been through, I'm a lot more conservative, and I'm okay with that. I'm okay doing it slowly because I want to know that I'm building strength underneath my belt.” (21:41-21:58) • “That's the problem. We, women, do, too. We take on too much to kind of prove our strength and think that, ‘yes, I got it all, and I can hold everything on my shoulders.’ And we can. We just shouldn't. It's not that you can't do it, but then you’d burn out. ” (25:21-25:38) • “It really lines up what your role is: who's responsible? Who's the final say on every little detail? Like Andresa always says, when it comes to the finishes, who makes that decision? Because you can both argue that somebody makes the decision, the final say.” (29:10-29:25)  • “Think about the bottleneck. What are the things that don't matter and it's just a bottleneck? You have partnerships so you can leverage time and move along.” (33:14-33:27) Connect with Ginny: Website: www.ginnybuyshouses.com IG: @ginnybuyshouses and @ginnyadkinsrealestate FB: @ginnybuyshouses and @ginnyadkinsrealestate Twitter: @ginvestorchick LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ginnyadkins/ Resource Mentioned: Rich Woman by Kim Kiyosaki InvestHER CON  Time: June 23-24  Place: Charlotte, NC InvestHER CON is a full circle transformational experience created with the women investors’ needs, desires, and schedules in mind.

Every good business owner knows that the work doesn’t stop once you hire a property manager. Effectively managing your manager is key and making sure that everything goes as planned can save you a ton of money, time, and headaches. In this minisode, Liz and Andresa discuss best practices in dealing with property managers.  Liz emphasizes the importance of having clear, constant, and open conversations with your management company. This will help to ensure that you're both on the same page and understand each other's expectations. She also shares considerations when it comes to KPIs, rent collection, and how you can work together with your manager in adding more value to your property.  Whether you’re on the lookout to hire a property manager or currently employing one, this minisode is for you! Quotes • “If you're not clear on what you're trying to do with your property, you're not going to be able to convey that to your property manager. And they're not gonna be able to manage accordingly.” (2:00-2:07) • “You need to have a conversation about how to manage expectations, expectations around what they're going to handle without involving you. What are they going to handle that does involve you." (2:51-3:01) • “The other big, big thing is how often do you want to connect with a property management company? Who's your point of contact? And when do you want to connect with them? How often?” (4:53-5:02) • “You have to gauge the size of the building and where the asset is in getting turned around. Obviously, the more turnaround it is, the more conversation. The more maintenance mode, less conversations, right? You're just maintaining what you have.” (5:25-5:28) • “You can’t manage and grow a business or grow a property and really add value to a building without managing specific KPIs. You just can't get around it. It's critical.” (5:53-6:02) • “Your goal in multifamily and your goal in this business is to increase your net operating income. Obviously, you do that by increasing the rent. Now, some landlords, a lot of people that own multifamily will just raise the rent and do nothing to the unit. Most of the assets we buy, most of the assets were involved in our bigger turnarounds, you're always adding the value to bump up the rent. ” (8:06-8:29) InvestHER CON  Time: June 23-24  Place: Charlotte, NC InvestHER CON is a full circle transformational experience created with the women investors’ needs, desires, and schedules in mind.
