From Bad Mentorship to Smart Investing - The Boring Family's Journey with Sheiswise.com
Today, we're sharing a tale of transformation, from being duped by the promise of easy money in real estate to finding a true beacon of knowledge and community with sheiswise.com, founded by the visionary Dedee Boring.
BOCO’s Rough Start
Let's be honest here. We've all seen those ads promising to make you a millionaire overnight in real estate. We at Boring & Co. got caught in one such web, investing $50k into a mentorship program that was all talk and no action. The advice was terrible, the deals were a myth, and the outcome was a harsh lesson in what not to do in investing.
The Rise of Wise
From that disappointment, sheiswise.com emerged as a light in the dark for those looking to invest wisely. Here's why Wise stands out:
A Focus on Education: Wise doesn't just throw deals at you; it educates. It's about giving you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to evaluate investments yourself.
Community Over Deals: While Wise does provide opportunities to look at deals, the core focus is on building a supportive community. Here, you're not just another investor; you're part of a movement, especially tailored for female investors. According to Bigger Pockets, only 3% of commercial real estate (CRE) investors are women, and Wise is here to change that narrative.
Empowerment for Women: Wise is dedicated to empowering female investors, offering education, workshops, and a network where women can learn, share, and grow together in an industry where they've been underrepresented.
Why We're Passionate About Wise
Our passion for Wise at Boring & Co. comes from our own journey from the shadows of poor investing decisions to a place of empowerment:
Real Education: After our initial misadventure, Wise offers the real deal in education, creating real confidence and knowledgeable about investing.
Community Support: Wise is a place where questions are answered, experiences are shared, and growth is collective. It's incredibly refreshing to be part of a community that genuinely cares about your success.
A Safe Space: For anyone, especially women, who've felt out of place or misled in the investment world, Wise is a sanctuary where your voice matters, and your growth is prioritized.
Boring & Co.’s Commitment to Wise
Wise isn’t about being handed a deal; it is about the education on how to assess one. By creating Wise, we are focussed on helping individuals learn about market analysis, property evaluation, and strategic investment planning. This educational foundation has the potential to shift one's approach from passive to proactive investing. The community aspect at Wise is unparalleled, offering a platform where female investors can connect, share insights, and celebrate successes together. This is why Boring & Co. will continue to advocate for Wise, as we're dedicated to empowering women to become more confident and successful investors, providing them a space to excel in the real estate investment landscape.
