EP# 99.2 | Building a Real Estate Business & Empowering Women | Melanie Fitzpatrick
Success isn't a straight line - especially for women. In this episode, Melanie Fitzpatrick gets real about her journey from corporate America to coaching women to becoming a real estate investor.
After 28 years in corporate sales (yes, driving a Mercedes that made all the men around her jealous), Melanie pivoted to coaching women entrepreneurs. But when the pandemic shifted everything, she found herself at another crossroads. That's when she bought her second investment property - and everything changed.
In this honest conversation, Melanie shares:
- Why women need to understand their relationship with risk
- How she manifested a property after the first offer fell through
- The reality of renovating a hoarder house (trigger warning: it stunk)
- Why she spent $100K on repairs and became a general contractor
- How to step into masculine strategy without losing feminine essence
Key Quote: "Women need to trust themselves. They need to really use their voice... stepping into your power isn't toxic masculine power. I'm talking about who you are."
Whether you're considering your first investment property or looking to pivot in your career, this episode proves that courage, mentorship, and taking action when you're afraid is the real formula for success.
