Real Estate Business: What You Will Learn: Gwen’s real estate journey How failure in the real estate business has shaped Gwen personally and professionally Why continuing education is critical to success in real estate How to design a business around your strengths and areas of genius How Gwen’s energy was affected by her ability to release activities that didn’t align with her strengths or goals How to recognize your value no matter what personality type you have Different tools Gwen used to grow her business Invest in Yourself Gwen Daubenmeyer has been in the real estate business for over thirty years. She is a business owner with an extremely successful team, and she works directly with clients as well. As an entrepreneur, leader, coach, and mentor, Gwen is undeniably inspirational and a wealth of knowledge! In this episode of Pursuing Freedom, she shares her amazing story. Gwen explains how she took the wheel of her own life and built a business that she doesn’t need a vacation from—a business that matches her strengths and supports her dream life. Overcoming Fear and Failure The real estate business is full of ups and downs, so resilience and mindset are very important! Gwen faced hard times while she worked to get the business on its feet. And during that process, Gwen’s husband lost his job as well. Fear and failure are inevitable, the longer you are in this industry, but they can shape you into a much stronger person if you push through. For that to happen, you need to be transparent with yourself (not judgmental) and think critically about what you could have done differently. The lessons you learn from failure make it easier to overcome in the future. Gwen even hired a coach so she could approach the failures with more objectivity! Continuing Education Beyond coaching and mentorship, continuing education is a must for those of you who want to get a leg up in the real estate business. Gwen and her husband married directly out of high school, and they didn’t go to college. They were masters of networking and managing people, but they lacked the fundamental skills to operate a business. That doesn’t have to be a roadblock though. If you want to learn new things that will help you grow personally and professionally, there are tons of resources available to you. Get out there and learn something new, then apply it in your own business. Photo by Stephen Leonardi on Unsplash About Gwen Daubenmeyer Gwen Daubenmeyer is driven, and she carries a flame in one hand and a fire hose in the other. Gwen holds a deep, personal grudge against mediocrity. She began her real estate career in the 80’s when interest rates were in the double-digits; people told her being a real estate agent was really hard and not a good idea. She loves both a dare and a challenge; this quality has contributed greatly to her continued success. She is the team leader of a highly specialized real estate team in the top 1% in the country. They have won many coveted awards and designations, but the thing she is most proud of is that 94.7% of her business last year was from past client referrals. She is an accredited stager, negotiation expert, and Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist. Gwen is in the top 1% in production of Agents Nationwide, and The Integrity Team is considered to be one of the Top Ten RE/MAX Teams in SE Michigan.

"It showed Pat my worst side, and what I’m like when I’m not my happy self."   Gwen Jorgensen won gold at the 2016 Olympic Games in the triathlon, and then decided she wanted to trade in the bike and the swim for a while to see how she could fare as a professional distance runner. Today, Gwen trains with the Bowerman Track Club, and is gearing up to compete at the 2020 Olympic Track & Field Trials in the 5K and 10K.

Gwen Fox, a professional artist, instructor, and coach, joins the show to talk about building confidence. We discuss the difference between a belief and a truth, silencing our inner critic, how to overcome setbacks and deal gracefully with unwanted commentary. Gwen shares some of her own affirmations and gives specific ways in which we can use goal setting and visualization to create a life we may have never even dreamt was possible.   In this interview, you will Gwen hear talk about: What you can do when your confidence is dashed, and how perfectionism and negative self-talk doesn’t help. Why some people appear more confident than others, and where confidence doesn’t come from. Why it’s crucial to surround yourself with those that give you confidence. Gwen’s personal experience of an authority figure questioning her intellectual capabilities, and how she finally shed the belief of not being “smart enough” that plagued her for years. The difference between beliefs and truths, and how to acknowledge and then silence your inner critic. Why so many artists suffer from the imposter syndrome, and how to combat it. How the words you choose to describe yourself shape the entire creative process. Examples of affirmations that Gwen herself uses for success and confidence. How Gwen looks at failure and mistakes as learning lessons and highways to success. The two best words you could ever ask yourself: “what if”. The importance of using visualization, affirmations, and goal setting as tools to shape confidence and release your artistic voice into the world. Why Gwen fully believes we produce better art when we are kind to ourselves.   Resources: Gwen Fox   Quotes: “Confidence is a mindset.” “Creating comes from your soul, and it’s where you reveal the deep, intimate side of yourself.” “Your creativity is what is so important. No one has your voice.” “What we feed ourselves mentally is what we bring about.” “The most important real estate in the world is the 6 inches between your ears.” “Know that failure is an event, it is not personal.”     *** This episode is brought to you by the Art Biz Inner Circle.

Gwen Merz on Fiery Millennials, financial independence and saving $200 by age 30 – MAF193 On the show this week, I chat to Gwen Merz, the founder of Fiery Millennials, a blog site dedicated to making sense of finances for young people. We talk about how Gwen saved $200,000 whilst in her twenties and how she built her blog to help others achieve financial independence. Welcome to episode 193 of the Marketing and Finance Podcast. We chat about: How Gwen saved rather than spent her money Why Gwen set up the Fiery Millennials blog How she built her website by not following "the rules" Making financial advice less complicated How to make financial services an enticing career option Gwen’s advice to millennials seeking financial independence Who is Gwen? Gwen started her blog three and a half years ago after finding a ‘Financially Independent Retiring Early’ (FIRE) community during college. While it provided value, there was no-one young, female and starting out on their financial journey to relate to. Realising that most bloggers were at a different life stage, Gwen created the blog she wanted to read. It helps her make connections, find new ideas and understand how others live. She worked for a large, globally-recognised corporation and intended to retire at 35. By age 27 she’d saved $200,000, which over the next 30 years will compound to $1.5m without additional contributions. Links and Show Notes.

“It’s hard. I go and put the work in and see a glimmer of hope and then get my butt handed to me a week later. It’s difficult. But I know what I want to do and what I believe I’m capable of doing, and I know I just need to continue to work.” —Gwen Jorgensen When Gwen Jorgensen was on the Ali on the Run Show earlier this year, she had recently moved to Portland, OR, and had just announced her next big goal: to transition from an Olympic gold medal-winning triathlete to an Olympic gold medal-winning marathoner. Gwen has been training with the Bowerman Track Club, under the leadership of Coach Jerry Schumacher, and she's back on the show to give us all an update on how her 2020 pursuit is going.

Millennials are often mischaracterized as being lazy and wanting things handed to them.  I can’t tell you how far from the truth that is, especially when it comes to Gwen & J  from the FIRE Drill Podcast who came on the podcast today to talk about pursuing FI and the different aspects of paying off debt and being financially stable. Both bloggers have their own informative and successful blogs that share their specific paths to FI and are set on inspiring others to do the same. I’m also super impressed by what they’ve been able to accomplish so far at such young ages. Gwen has saved $100k by age 25 and purchased her first rental property, a triplex, earlier this year. J has paid off nearly $100k of debt in two years and has saved over $200k towards retirement by age 28. On the episode today, we explore the importance of savings and increasing your income. J explains how essential it is to have an emergency fund after what happened to her while she was paying off debt, and Gwen talks about why she has FU money. It was also interesting to hear their takes on real estate and how to get started with house hacking. This is a great episode on the importance of working towards FI and achieving financial goals. I also announce the Budget Boot Camp Class & open the waitlist for the Q1 2018 Journey To Financial Freedom Mastermind. Now here are the main topics we talk about in the episode: The FIRE Drill podcast What the podcast is about Their specific interests in finance How FI allows a life of options An interesting way to pursue FI How their opinions have evolved since the beginning of the podcast J and Gwen’s journey How Gwen found FIRE in college Why Gwen plans on quitting her job and be her own boss The sacrifices involved How J got inspired to pay off all her student debt J's methods to pay off debt Career hacking Reaching FI How savings give you freedom and options What is FU money The importance of having an emergency fund Getting started with real estate 2 methods to achieve FI: savings and monthly cash flows The irony once you achieve FI Having a back up plan Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Grab your seat at the Budget Boot Camp Sign up for the 2018 Q1 Launch To Financial Freedom Mastermind Waitlist Paula Pant: Afford Anything Mad Fientist: HSA - The Ultimate Retirement Account Bigger Pockets Leave me a voicemail- Leave me a question on the Journey To Launch voicemail and have it answered on the podcast!

We all think of growing older with a certain amount of fear. We often enter life after the age of 50 unsure about what the second half of life will hold for us. Rosetta’s guest on this episode is Gwen Lavender, a Transition Coach, mentor, and speaker. She helps maturing women through transitions in life to accomplish things they’ve always wanted to do so that they can live their best lives, with no regrets! She delights in helping women entering the second half of life navigate the new waters of aging and move forward with confidence - and she does it so well because she understands them - because she is them. Learn about Gwen’s enthusiastic approach to the last half of life, on this episode. Women entering the second half of life have many struggles - and so much opportunity! It’s easy to feel discouraged as you age. The years bring difficulties or obstacles you’ve never experienced before - aches, bodily changes, lack of energy, and many others. But those things don’t need to be discouragements for you. You can learn to accept and integrate into this new phase of life - and the good news is that you can do so in ways that are purposeful and powerful. Rosetta’s guest, Gwen Lavender is a specialist at helping women who are transitioning into the later half of life do so with enthusiasm and optimism. Many of her clients are accomplishing things they never thought possible - and doing it in the later half of life. You can find out more about Gwen and how she helps her clients, on this episode. It’s even more important that you live intentionally as you pass the 50-year mark. The older we get the more we can feel that our best years are behind us. But Gwen Lavender strongly disagrees. She’s found herself doing more and better things after 50 than she did before, and she believes that every woman can experience the same thing - if they are willing to boldly step into their new season of life. That means facing fears, applying yourself, and investing the time, effort, and money to make it happen. You can do what you set your mind to do, but only YOU can do it. Find out more about how Gwen helps women just like you, on this episode of Happy Black Woman. You have an abundant life. But with that abundant life, there is work to be done. There are very few things in life that simply “come” to us. Everything worth having and worth doing requires that we invest ourselves into the accomplishment of it. But as you age, as you feel the reserves of energy and personal strength are not what they used to be, you might start to believe that you can’t take the kind of intentional action required to do what you really want to do. Today’s guest, Gwen Lavender is a living demonstration of how untrue that belief is. She’s accomplished so much after the age of 50 and is eager to help you do the same thing. Find out how you can get a complimentary discovery session with Gwen to create your own action plan for a more abundant life in the second half of life, by listening to this episode. Give yourself permission to pursue what you really want to do. When Rosetta asked Gwen Lavender what her #1 piece of advice is for women over 50, Gwen didn’t skip a beat in answering: “Give yourself permission to pursue what you really want to do.” There are lots of things that could convince you that it’s too late, that you can’t do what you really long to do, and all of them are false. But you won’t discover the truth of that statement unless you first give yourself the permission to get moving toward that dream. Find out how Gwen suggests you begin that journey, on this episode of Happy Black Woman. Outline of this great episode [2:05] Rosetta’s introduction to her guest, Gwen Lavender.
