EPISODE 458: Women currently control $10 trillion of the US economy. That number is going to 30 trillion in the next five years. Yet women's confidence in investing is low. That's why now more than ever, women have to have a wealthy mindset. And so, one of the best things you can do for yourself is take control over your finances. This is especially important for female entrepreneurs who most of the time have to juggle work, personal finances, house chores, and everything in between. When you are able to achieve financial freedom, you give yourself the opportunity to free time to care for yourself, focus on more important things, and most importantly, live a more fulfilling life. But don’t take it from us! Instead, we want you to listen to this week’s guest on the podcast, the queen of having a wealthy mindset, Kim Kiyosaki. Kim is the co-founder and CEO of The Rich Dad Company and a spirited advocate and educator of financial education. After launching The Rich Dad Company with her husband, Robert, in 1996, Kim realized there was a huge gap for women when it came to financial education, and so, she decided to change that. In this episode, Kim will be sharing with us her journey as well as discussing a number of important subjects, such as the importance of fostering a wealthy mindset, how to cultivate disciplined financial habits, and why you should embrace mistakes as learning opportunities. She’ll also be touching on the power of good mentorship, why you should diversify your investments, and which steps you should take to achieve financial freedom.

Katie is a real estate entrepreneur, an active investor and an incremental developer. She started out investing in 2006 buying a one-bedroom condo for $17,000 and then house hacked her horse barn by turning a space into an apartment and rented it out.  After that, Katie began buying vacant fourplexes out of bankruptcy, renovating them, leasing them up and selling them to investors, before pivoting to fixing and flipping single-family houses in her hometown of Bryan, Texas. Katie spent 7 years in commercial banking and 7 years on the executive team of a startup company as the Real Estate Development Officer before taking the leap and quitting her W-2 job to become a full time real estate investor.
