This episode is extra special because it’s a FEATURE episode where I was a guest on the Goal Digger podcast, hosted by the amazing Jenna Kutcher. It was a phenomenal conversation, and I knew I had to share it with you! We dove deep into the big question: Is it really possible to work less and earn more?

As a former bank manager and busy mom, I felt stuck in the corporate grind, craving more time with my family. That’s when I discovered real estate investing—and I haven’t looked back since. I shared how I started small, investing just $3,000 in my first rental property, and grew it into a multi-million dollar portfolio.

Join us as we uncover the mindset shifts needed to embrace passive income, the importance of valuing your time, and why building a supportive community is a game-changer in your real estate journey.

‍

KEY POINTS:

• On the nuances of having a passive income
• How Erika's exposure to entrepreneurs encouraged her in real estate
• Erika's initial real estate investment journey through self-education
• The importance of overcoming fear and intimidation in real estate investing
• Erika's approach to generating income from a vacation home property
• Strategies for balancing business, real estate, and family
• The transformative impact of a $37 entrepreneurial class on Erika's business growth
• Erika's vision: Create a hub for women and minorities in real estate & personal finance

‍

QUOTES:

“Instead of looking at that long list of 10 things that I have to do, how can you focus on the one thing that can drive the most impact?"

“You need to focus on the $1,000-an-hour task versus spending your time doing a $10-an-hour task – that was a game changer for me."
