To Buy Your First Property

I kicked off 2023 with a workshop for my Women Who Build Wealth Community Hub; the workshop is called Fire Up Your Finances. 

In that workshop, I discussed using SMART Planning to reach your income goals. The community LOVED it for a very simple reason--many of them were familiar with SMART Planning and used it in their 9 to 5's but never applied this robust framework to their finances.

It is most commonly displayed in the real estate investment areas where there are numerous female real estate agents but hardly any real estate investors.
