Post 6: Entrepreneurship through the eyes of a woman – a guide, thoughts and a path

Before we dive in, if you dream of entering the world of real estate –

Flipping, entrepreneurship, wholesaling, or developing your own business – here's my practical guide on how to really get started:

How do you really get started? Steps not taught in courses:

1. Don't do it alone.

The biggest mistake beginners make is trying to prove everything on their own.

Find a partner with experience, with understanding in the field.

It is better to earn less and learn – than to lose everything alone.

2. Make sure there is funding.

Before you start – understand the options: equity, private loans, hard money, or a co-investor.

And when there is a good deal, good financing will be found.

3. Start generating leads – smart.

It is possible through campaigns on Facebook, Google, Instagram, networking, groups.

And it's also possible through cold calling, data, and direct sending – whatever works.

Choose the method that suits you - but do it.

4. Divide roles between partners.

Who talks to the lead? Who puts the property under contract?

Don't act vaguely – act like a team.

5. Build an exit strategy in advance.

Before signing a contract – understand:

Is it wholesale? Flip? Brokerage?

And if it's a flip – is it Fix & Flip, or Fix & Hold? Maybe even BRRRR?

6. Integrate technology from day one.

CRM, automation, artificial intelligence, data analysis.

Today, even a novice entrepreneur can work smart and look professional.

7. Work with a list of investors you know.

5–6 credible investors you have spoken to, and you know:

How much can they invest, what are they looking for, and where.

That way, if you decide to transfer a deal, you will know to whom, and how much.

8. Check if you or your team have a real estate license in Florida.

If not, work with a certified agent.

This way, you can market properties even at market price, without losing a deal just because the seller is inflexible.

9. And always – be on the move.

Entrepreneurship is a movement. It's not about waiting for an opportunity – it's about creating it.

What's next – three questions every entrepreneur should ask themselves

1. What is your vision for the coming years?

For me – the vision is to grow into more complex projects:

New construction, development, work across several states – mainly Florida and Texas.

Not just to make a deal – but to build something that lasts.

2. What did I learn that every entrepreneur needs to understand early on?

The right partner is an asset.

Learning to say “no” is a tool.

And most importantly – the road itself is the real asset.

Those who build trust, don't burn relationships, and maintain integrity survive and succeed.

3. What is the most important tip for someone who wants to build a real business?

Treat it like a business from day one.

Don't wait for it to be "big" - do it right now.

You will build systems, work precisely, and know how to manage both people and processes.

Your reputation is the most valuable asset you have.

And for those who feel it's time – here's what's open now

I am open to collaborations with people who think big and understand the process.

If you are dealing with deals – big or small – in Florida or Texas,

Keep me in the picture.

I'm here, with experience, seriousness, and a willingness to go deep into projects that feel right.

I love working with people who you can build a path with – not just a deal.

Whether you're bringing in leads, need someone to lead a project, or simply want to explore a connection – talk to me.

Entrepreneurship is a movement.

And if you feel like we're moving at the same pace – this is probably the right time to get to know each other.

Thank you for the opportunity to share, engage, and help.

If you've been with me so far – I appreciate it very much.

This is not obvious, and for me – this is already the beginning of a connection.
