10 Things that Make a Woman Successful

160526-kim-successful-woman

Hint: It’s not money This just in: women who spend hours getting dolled up make more money. This comes from researchers from University of Chicago and University of California Irvine. A study of more than 14,000 people revealed “practices such as applying makeup and styling hair and clothing—was actually what accounted for nearly all of the salary difference for women of varying attractiveness.” Couple this with the fact that employers in the UK can still force women to wear high-heels to work , and it’s enough for a woman to wonder if she’ll ever be rewarded for things that really count in the workplace, like results. Of course, I’m still waiting for the study that shows if those who make more money by covering themselves in thousands of dollars in makeup, hair goop, and designer clothes are actually richer than … Read More

Defining Moments: Going beyond Winning and Losing

wining or losing

  True real estate investing is not just about the how-to of making money;  it is more about the why.    While the process is a simple one, it’s not easy. It is all about defining moments, the point in a person’s life when he or she makes a life-changing decision. We all have such moments. We become heroes or cowards; we become truth-tellers or liars.  We go forward or we go backwards.     Most of us have heard about the Triple Ds: Desire    Drive     Discipline We all know people who have desire – for example a desire to be rich, but they lack either the drive or the discipline or both. Most of us have heard about the Triple As: Ambition     Ability     Attitude We all know people who have ambition, but they never develop their abilities – often because … Read More

Are You Successful?

Success

How would you answer the question: “Are you successful?” I know many people who would say that they are not successful; at least they have not reached success in the areas that feel important to them. I have been one of those people. One day I asked myself “What keeps me from being successful?” It took me a while to come up with the answer, but I realized that I was holding myself back. Why? Well, maybe I was afraid that when I started something I would fail. Maybe I was afraid that I was not “one of those people” who get everything they go after. Maybe I felt that I didn’t deserve success in life. The truth is that I didn’t believe that I was able. I was not able to be successful, able to be happy, or able … Read More

I Don’t Have the Time!!!!

EWDT1A Very busy multitasking housewife on white background. Concept of supermom and superwoman.

I Don’t Have the Time!!!! The number one excuse, or reason, people use today is that “I don’t have the time!!!. If there were only more hours in the day….” It’s especially true for women.  How many of us have full-time careers, kids, a husband or a relationship, plus all the additional day-to-day activities.  So, when someone suggests adding another activity that will demand our time we are ready to explode. When we say “I don’t have the time”  we are just saying, “what I have currently on my plate is more important than the additional activity you are suggesting.”  It is not right or wrong to say “I have not time.”  But the question to ask to yourself is, “What truly is more important?”   Too often the excuse of no time is an automatic response because we are already overwhelmed and … Read More

Just Get Started!!!

woman formula

Just Get Started!!! Every day is filled with defining moments. From the moment we wake up, we define ourselves when we decide to get up and exercise or sleep and extra half hour.  We define ourselves when we call in sick even though we could go to work.  We define ourselves when we watch T.V. instead of reading a book on business or investing.  And we define ourselves when we turn our money over to a salesperson to invest for us instead of learning to invest for ourselves. Do you think real estate is a good investment?  It depends.  Whether something is a good investment has everything to do with how committed you are to be good at what you do.  Real estate is not good or bad.  People are good or bad – Investing is not risky; people are … Read More

What Does Rich Woman Stand For?

Kim

What Does Rich Woman Stand For? What is a Rich Woman? I often hear women say, “I’m rich in spirit,” “I’m rich in family and friends,” “My life experiences make me rich.” I agree with each of these interpretations. However, I don’t agree with this comment: “I lead a very rich life, but I have no money.” The Rich Woman philosophy supports all the above statements, except the last one. You can argue about it, which is fine, but it’s just not the Rich Woman philosophy. When we talk about Rich Woman, we talk openly about money, investing, cash flow, and taking charge of your financial life. Why? Because the bottom line is that money has tremendous power. It has the power to set us free, but it also has the power to enslave us. Money enslaves us by keeping … Read More

Turn a Stinky House into a Stunning Home

Ugly Home outisde

Turn a Stinky House into a Stunning Home By Lorena Tankersley June 14, 2012 The other day, I was inspecting a property I’m thinking of buying from another investor and I was startled by how differently we viewed the property. I thought it was almost a walk-in-and-do-nothing house, and she felt it had almost $10K worth of repairs to make it tolerable or attractive to any woman. Then my potential partner went to look at it, and he too thought it had very little work to do. I guess women really see things differently. I saw ugly four-by-four inch white porcelain titles on the kitchen counter with moldy grout lines and funky dents all over the master bath vanity. Any woman I know would despise it. And who buys houses? We do! Your advantage in the “Stinky House” business is … Read More
