What school didn’t teach you!
When I was at secondary school it has to be said that if they’d done ‘A’ levels in Boys, Parties and Nightclubs, I would have got three A*s. Unfortunately they didn’t, so I didn’t get those results either. In fact I really spectacularly failed to achieve what I was capable of in the subjects I chose which were English, Biology and French.
Why was this? Well I wasn’t really interested in them. I had better things to do with my time! I saw little purpose in them long-term and they were mostly theoretical.
I think many people who become property investors have had similar experiences to me, and find themselves having a hard time breaking through the belief that they are not clever enough, not good enough or not talented enough to do property. I wrestled with that too. Until I realised that education in the property world is very different.
For a start it requires you to take RISKS. There is no certainty that you will get the outcome you want. In fact you need to have the mindset of growth and learning at all times to manage this fear of failure. Secondly it takes COURAGE – you have to put your money, your time, even your reputation on the line. People may scoff, ridicule or undermine you and you have to find the courage to believe in yourself. Thirdly you have to take practical ACTION. Theory is all very well but until you put your learning on the line, you will never become a real investor.
In fact, in contrast to what you learn at school, property requires COLLABORATION not competition, and there are no tests to pass except the ones you set yourself. It is about intrinsic not external motivation, and there is no-one who will judge your achievements based on a set of rules. So that should make us all really motivated to do property right?!
WRONG! Because our ‘school mindset’ is so deeply embedded within us, it’s really hard to let go of it! Having the right mindset and the right skillset is VITAL so that you do not get upset (as one of my mentors once taught me).
I know that if you are interested in HMOs (Houses of Multiple Occupation) as a way of making £1000 profit per property per month, you will probably have lots of questions and rightly so! You need to be educated to make this strategy work for you. But you need to be educated RIGHT by someone who has done it and got the experience.
I started to invest in HMOs just over 5 years ago, and after just 2 and a half years set myself and my husband free from our day jobs! YAAY! We have over 100 HMO rooms now and it gives us the income to do what WE want with our time, not what someone else tells us to do!
Which is why on SATURDAY 21ST JULY IN LONDON I will be spending time on YOUR mindset AND your skillset! That’s if you will let me ….
is coming to LONDON on 21st July. The workshop is completely FREE to attend and you can choose a morning or an afternoon session.
Not only will you learn exactly how to invest in HMOs – how to find them, plan them out and make them work efficiently, you will also learn how to have the right MINDSET to attract investors, to grow your business and to become financially free.
If you are SCARED, SLOW OR STUCK then you need this event to help you become BRISK, BOLD AND BRAVE!
I look forward to seeing you there – tickets are limited so please make sure you reserve your space immediately to ensure you get a seat!
To your HMO success
