I’m pretty sure all of us, at some point in our lives, have heard the phrase that goes something like: “Go to school. Get a good job.”
Whether it came from the mouths of our loving parents to our once 18-year-old self who just broke the news that: “But I quit my job and am moving to Europe” (Sorry again Mom!)
Or whether it came from our school teachers, mentors or friends.
Either way, this belief has firmly rooted itself in our minds.
But as we go through life, we seem to meet more people living their financial dreams without even having thrown a graduation cap into the air!
Of course, a college education does serve its purpose for those who need it. It gives the world doctors, lawyers, teachers and engineers, to name a few of the many occupations that require a degree. But, has the belief that “if you don’t get one, you’re going nowhere” blocked you from envisioning the life of your dreams?
The life where your money stretches way past the bills and groceries? The life where you can buy that dress?? Take that flight??? Help out your family or friends???????????
You see, it’s absolutely necessary to generate income outside of the usual 9-5 salary.
The first step: Unblocking yourself from believing you don’t deserve it.
Matt Hawkins did precisely that!
Matt wanted to create a life that provided more time for friends, family, travel and general freedom. So he decided to invest his money in the real estate market and become a landlord. Like with anything new, there is always a lot to learn, but it’s nothing you can’t teach yourself by learning from industry professionals. Matt balanced the latest venture of real estate investing alongside the everyday 9-5 job...without a degree. Together, money was made, knowledge was gained, and goals were achieved. Matt now enjoys waking up to the day with more opportunity and freedom. Listen to his full story here on the Lady Landlords Podcast!
There is really nothing stopping you from the life you want except YOU.
It takes courage to step out of your comfort zone and away from what you believed the world to be. Especially when the step goes away from the direction, our societal norms have been telling us to go for, like, ever. But actual growth only comes from facing the fear and doing it anyway.
Maybe money doesn’t grow on trees, but it can certainly grow on four walls and a roof….
Your future self is thanking you.
🌟 Real estate investing is an exciting way to grow your income.
Whether your goals are extra money for a rainy day or early retirement… the world is at your fingertips.
🌟 You don’t have to make this scary!
No one is asking you to quit your job. You can work towards your real estate goals at your own pace alongside any other work commitments you have!
🌟 Smart and book smart are two different things.
Being smart with your money is essential, and learning how to properly navigate the world of investing will always pay back.
