The InvestHER Podcast

EPISODE 433: Negotiation, we love it and we hate it at the same time. When it goes well, it goes really well. And when it goes bad, well… let’s just say we don’t want you to be imagining that. Negotiation is a huge part of every real estate investor’s job, and knowing how to do it right can save you (or make you) a lot of money. Negotiating in real estate is like choosing food. If you want speed and a low price, you often have to compromise on quality, and if you want something truly good, you need to be ready to pay the price. In this episode, we’ll be discussing the art of negotiating not price but terms in real estate, because most people forget about them, even though they are just as important as how much you’re paying (or getting for a deal). Ready to learn more? Let’s dive in.

EPISODE 431: Did you know that women entrepreneurs were more likely to experience burnout than their male counterparts? This is because more often than not, women entrepreneurs are not only taking on more than they can at work, but also at home. Many women find themselves overwhelmed by the amount of daily tasks they need to take care of, whether those tasks have to do with their business or with their households. But instead of asking for help, they simply take on those responsibilities, even if they’re too tired or stressed out to do so. And guess what happens if you do this long enough? You end up experiencing the dreaded burnout. Burnout happens as a result of mental, emotional, and physical stress, and women are especially prone to it.  However, if you want your business to grow, then you need to take care of yourself first, and being burnt out is definitely the opposite of that. So, in this week’s minisode of The Real Estate InvestHER Show, we decided it’s high time we changed that, which is why we’re sharing with you all our tips to recover from burnout. Ready to learn more? Let’s dive in. Key Takeaways:  Introduction (00:00) How burnout impacts women more (01:02) The signs of burnout (01:54) Who you need to be to stop the burnout cycle (04:29) How do you fill your cup?

EPISODE 424: What does it take to become financially independent before the age of 40 as a woman entrepreneur? For this week’s guest on the podcast, the amazing Antoinette Munroe, it took a lot of work, a lot of effort, and most importantly, many sacrifices.  And because she never gave up, she ended up achieving her goal of becoming financially independent and retiring before hitting the big 40!
