Financial Freedom and Overcoming Fear with Mandy McAllister | Small Steps Big Wins Podcast #86
Overcoming Fear, Breaking Free from W2, and Thriving in Multifamily Real Estate Investing: A Conversation with Mandy McAllister
As a multifamily investor and former medical device rep, Mandy McAllister shares her entrepreneurial journey and the significant lifestyle shifts it entailed. From her initial acquisition of a fourplex to building a large real estate portfolio, Mandy explains the calculated risks she took and the strategies she used to gain financial freedom and live a fulfilling life. She talks about her fear that she would be homeless and penniless, the mindset shifts she made to overcome it, and how her experiences with Stoic philosophy helped her through these major transitions. She discusses how overcoming perfection and embracing bravery propelled her success and how she grew her real estate muscle by reverse engineering the problems she faced. Mandy also touches on GoBundance Women and how this community of like-minded women entrepreneurs has impacted her journey, her tips on dealing with fear, and the idea of leaping forward despite uncertainties and fears.
