Stop believing the myths that keep you stuck—learn how to lend smarter, safer, and with confidence.

In this episode of Grow With Leila, I’m busting the biggest lies that hold new private lenders back. Too many smart, capable women hesitate to lend because of bad advice, outdated beliefs, or straight-up misinformation. So today, I’m setting the record straight.

You’ll learn why trusting your gut on borrowers isn’t enough, why capital raisers won’t protect your money, and why PML isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme—but it is a wealth-building powerhouse when done right.

Today, I talk about:

>> Why getting paid back has nothing to do with whether a borrower is a “good” or “bad” person—and what actually determines your success.

>> Why relying on a capital raiser or ‘connector’ won’t keep you safe (and what to do instead).

>> Why private money lending isn’t a shortcut to overnight riches—but is a powerful way to build financial freedom.

🎧 Listen in because: If you’re ready to stop second-guessing and start lending with confidence, this episode is a must. You don’t need perfect timing or insider connections—you just need the right knowledge and strategy to make your money work for you.
