If You Come Face To Face With An Evil, Violent Predator - Be Prepared To Fight For Your Life!
Back in the old days women were told if faced with a confrontation, physical attack, or sexual assault from a male prepetrator – don’t fight back you’ll only inflame the guy and that will make him madder and meaner. You were told to try and reason with the attacker – try to negotiate your way out of being raped or brutally beaten up - unfortunately many women were still violently murdered.
Not Today Ladies!!! You need to consider that there has been an increase in violent crimes and assaults against women – both young and old – in record numbers all across our country. And what are women doing to protect themselves from this offensive crime?
Women of all ages are starting to stand up and say “WE’RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE" and they are learning how to defend and protect themselves. Women are becoming skilled in self-defense and safety awareness techniques and finding that inner female warrior that says, “I’m not going to become a crime victim of some perpetrator’s whim!!” .

Realtor 7-Point Personal Safety Plan Of Action
The following Realtor 7-Point Personal Safety Plan of Action will help you be responsible for your own safety and survival. Become mentally and physically prepared to protect and defend yourself should you ever be put in a situation where your life is in danger. Due to the risky nature of the Real Estate profession, your personal safety should be high on the priority list.
7-Point Safety Plan of Action
1. Take a good quality self-defense class in your community. Check with the local police department to see if they offer the RAD Self-Defense Program. This is an excellent training program. Once you’ve completed the training, you can go back and attend as many classes as you want for free. Taking a self-defense class can give you a tremendous sense of empowerment and self-confidence. Knowing you have the fundamental skills and techniques that can help you protect and defend yourself is definately empowering. This is also a great opportunity to become physically fit. Read more
Survival Facts From Dr. Ruthless - A Lady With A Kickass Attitude
When you read information about women who have made self-defense initiatives for women their life’s work, it is inspiring to realize that there are options for women to stay safe (and stay alive) when confronted by an attacker. When you know how to fight and defend yourself against a predator, you no longer have to live in fear!
Dr. Ruthless (Melissa Soat), self-defense/black belt expert, teaches self-defense and speaks to audiences of women and men about overall self-defense techniques, awareness strategies, and how learning these skills can give you a tremendous sense of empowerment and self-confidence. I have seen Dr. Ruthless’ self-defense videos and she is one "tough" fighter. If all options are exhausted and you must fight for your life - fight back with explosive power and find that "ballistic" alter ego inside that refuses to become a victim of some predator’s assault, attack, or worse..murder.

The Ultimate Personal Protector - Taser C2!!!
If you have followed my blog for any time, you know I recommend carrying some type of personal protection device - like pepper spray, mace, stun gun, or a Taser C2 - the ultimate personal protector!.
Unless you have been tazed…you may not realize that this little device can knock the socks off of a predator..an attacker..or person assaulting another. And guess what…they deserve it! The Taser C2 is a non-lethal device that is meant to stun and/or disable a predator or attacker enough for the victim to get away to safety and contact the police.
Here is a video of a young man who ran from the law and finally ended up feeling the full force of the Taser. This young man is being very truthful in letting other potential criminals know the full effect and full force of the Taser. Listen to his recommendation on whether to fight the law or fight the Taser….

If you already have a Personal Safety Plan then you know how important it is to be prepared and know what to do if confronted by an attacker. Having self-defense skills and knowledge are a great part of the plan, but if you are dealing with someone who is totally bent on doing you grave harm, you want that secondary backup - and that is where the Taser C2 can be your ultimate personal protector. If you decide to carry a Taser C2, be sure to become properly trained in knowing how to use the device. You will receive a training DVD from Taser which gives excellent instructions. Practice using your Taser. That way you know exactly what to do if a situation arises where you must use it. Also check with your local city/county/state to be sure it is legal to carry within your area.
NOTE: Isn’t it ironic that YOU are trying to keep yourself safe and protect yourself from the criminal element who wants to assault/rape/attack or kill you, and the only way to protect yourself is by self-defense measures or using personal protection devices…and the LAW in some states say that personal protection devices are illegal to use. I wonder who they are trying to protect!! The criminal or the innocent????

Realtor Fights Off Attacker In House - South Bend, IN
This past weekend there was an incident where a realtor (female) was attacked by her prospect. As I have written about on many occasions - it doesn’t matter that you live in a small community like South Bend, Indiana where crime may not be as prevalent as in the larger cities - but crime still happens! And these criminals are looking for the avenue of least resistance. Realtors are considered a high risk profession and they need to do everything they can to ensure that their personal safety is one of their highest priorities.
That means ensuring you have a Safety Plan that includes taking self-defense training to learn simple, yet effective defensive techniques and tactics that will enable you to protect and defend yourself against an attacker. Also, take a personal safety awareness class that reviews and reiterates many realtor safety guidelines that are designed to promote everyday awareness to keep you safe. Read more
Top (5) Personal Safety Tips On Staying Safe and Alive!
Everyday we get up and go about our daily lives and activities without even giving a second thought to our personal safety. In reality, we shouldn’t have to because personal safety should be a part of our being. It should be second nature…a habit that we don’t even have to think about it. We should instinctively know that our personal safety, as well as those we care about, is a high priority no matter what business we are in, what we do, or where we live - from the safest, small community to the largest, most crime-ridden city.
There’s an old adage that many women think concerning violence and crime and that is, “It won’t happen to me.” Either they say, “I’m too big to be raped,” “I’m married and live in a safe area” or “I’m way too old, no one is going to rape me.” That very thinking usually comes about because it hasn’t happened to them, but they are still at risk and at any given time it could happen to them. If you go through life without considering the possibility that a sexual assault crime could happen…then what will you do if it does? You need to be prepared and ready in the event that somebody does try (at some point) to attack you. Read more
Personal Safety - Jobs That Put Women At Risk
Are you in a "high risk" job that affects your personal safety? Over the next few weeks I will be talking with women in high risk jobs to find out how they deal with this risk day in and day out, and what they are doing to stay safe and avoid becoming a victim of crime. Some of the professions women have that are considered high risk are Realtors, In-Home Sales Consultants, Nurses, and Attorney’s - to name a few.
In my personal safety training, one of the first things I recommend that women do to stay safe is develop a Personal Safety Plan. As you become proactive in your personal safety it puts you totally in control. (And when you lose control you lose period). As part of the plan, I also suggest taking some kind of self-defense training (RAD Self-Defense is excellent) along with a safety awareness course. With both types of training you becoming mentally and physically educated in how to protect and defend yourself against an attacker. This will give you a tremendous amount of confidence and empowerment knowing you are in control. I also discuss the use of non-lethal personal protection devices that women can carry to more positively fend off an attacker.
If you would like to comment about how you deal with your personal safety on the job, that would be great. Sharing this type of information with others will help us all. I will be posting my interviews to my website so be sure to sign up for my RSS feed or email.

The following scenarios are typical REALTOR® situations. Think about what would be your normal response, what possible dangers are indicated, and what you could do better to lessen the risks. Find the answers suggested by NAR at the end.
Scenario #1: Open House
You are hosting an open house by yourself on a winter day. As the sun is setting and you are locking up, a nicely dressed man pulls into the drive and quickly hops out of his car. He apologizes for coming so late and says that he is very glad to have arrived before you left. He begs you to let him see the property as he has wanted to buy this style of home in this neighborhood for some time now. You had very few prospects visit the open house, so you would hate to miss this opportunity. What do you do? Read more
Beverly Fisher, Realtor - Discusses Realtor Safety Awareness
Beverly Fisher, Realtor, Century 21 Jim Dunfee Realty
Personal Security Solutions, the parent company of Self Defense With An Attitude, along with Linda Sokol from ADT Security, recently held a Realtor Safety Awareness Seminar for Century 21 Jim Dunfee Realty in South Bend, Indiana. We discussed various safety awareness topics on how realtors can keep themselves safe while on the job, at home, on the road, and basically wherever they go.
Realtors are in a fairly high risk category just by the very nature of their job and our special guest, Beverly Fisher, Broker Associate, from Century 21 Jim Dunfee Realty, mentioned that in her testimonial video. She said, “When you are working the front desk and get a call from someone (lots of times a complete stranger) who wants to meet with you right away, the first thing you do is bolt out to meet him. And sometimes you don’t even tell anyone.” In today’s world that is not always the safest thing to do. Each real estate office should have specific forms for documenting prospective client data, addresses where the agent will be meeting the prospect, and pertinent information that might prove helpful if the agent comes up missing.
