With over 30 years experience as a property developer, mentor, author and business investor, there is no denying this weeks guest Mark Stokes is a man on a mission. Mark’s strong passion for creating shared value and inspiring others to achieve success made for a phenomenal interview. 

In this episode, Mark joins me to talk about how keeping an open mind can lead to more opportunities, how he transitioned from corporate life to a more fruitful way of living on his own terms, and how by connecting the power of the mind to the power of the body, we can achieve far more than we may expect.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Opportunity comes from keeping an open mind. Those who never say no find that their paths are diverted in far more interesting ways when it comes to life.
• The road to happiness and fulfilment often comes at the cost of making hard choices, but the legacies we achieve from doing so are life-changing.
• By connecting the power of the body to the power of the mind, we can often reach higher, push harder, and achieve far more in life and in business than we would expect of ourselves.
• We often take our knowledge base for granted, when in reality, if we look back across our experience so far, the skill sets and talents we have quietly acquired have empowered us in all kinds of incredible ways.

BEST MOMENTS

'Change has been my constant for the last thirty years’

'I was blessed with a huge amount of opportunity, and I guess that's because I learned never to say "no"'

'What is it that pushes you towards that next level?'

'You need to recognise the huge amount of skills that you've curated and nurtured over the years'

This week on The Power of Property I’m joined by my friend and fellow Property entrepreneur, Rochelle Gilburn. 

When Rochelle’s husband tragically passed away over three years ago, it flipped her world on its head. Widowed before the age of 30, Rochelle was determined to make the most of her life despite the heartache which was when her property journey began. 

It has been a phenomenal journey that’s seen her property investment business go from strength alongside building a huge online community.

Rochelle tells us how she’s managed to onboard so many new clients and continue to source a constraint stream of properties during a time that so many others have struggled to position as her a formidable force in the world of property. 

We get into some real chat about the challenges and tribulations of property investment but ultimately, this is a conversation about resilience, taking risks and getting out of your comfort zone to prove that no matter how tough things get, there can always be a brighter future.

This week, Ellie is with property superstar and serial entrepreneur, Andy Thomas, who went from being a mortgage broker, the man at the helm of an eight-figure property portfolio.

Andy talks to Ellie about how he turned the tide in his life and created a multi-million dollar business from nothing through little more than determination and the will to succeed, the value of mentorship and education in the property world, and the importance of living in the moment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Entrepreneurs can see the opportunities everywhere, no matter what the situation. They are the ones hungry for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
• Deals might not always be right for us at the time, but they may serve someone else well. Deal packaging is the art of selling a deal on to an investor and receiving a fee in return.
• By equipping ourselves with a toolbox of strategies, and aligning with a mentor or someone who can guide us through challenges, our potential to succeed is increased exponentially.
• The only thing that's guaranteed in life is the present moment we have. We should never sacrifice our happiness in the present for some far off point in the future.

BEST MOMENTS

'I knew I was good with people. I knew I was good at that face-to-face sales life'

'You went from nothing to having 134 properties in your portfolio!'

'You can't be open to the opportunities unless you can step back and be more strategic'

'I believe this is the roadmap to success'

'Within the confines of my own life, I am exactly where I want to be'

This week, Ellie is alongside Paul McFadden, one of the UK's most renowned and respected business success coaches, who rose from humble beginnings to amass a multi-million pound property portfolio.

Paul discusses the ways in which he gained the attitude and mindset that has taken him to the top, how to use the lessons from your past to shape the pathway to the future, and the value of learning from others.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Change is difficult for some, which can result in a lack of support at times, from those around us. But we should never feel held back by the expectations of others.
• We evolve to become a better version of ourselves if we look at the journey so far and use what we have learned to shape the journey ahead.
• Surrounding yourself with the right people will always push you on to do better and be better. Never discount the power of a team's support.
• We are not designed to embrace risk, and therefore the bigger decisions in life can feel terrifying at times. But no one ever reached the top without putting themselves out there.

BEST MOMENTS

'There was never anyone around me that could guide me in a way that these days you have with so many people who can mentor and coach you'

'It's about getting those around you who will push you and test you and get you to level up your game'

'Everything that you have in your life to this moment - you should congratulate yourself, because you've created it'

'I wanted to be the best I could be, and I'm still on that journey to grow and learn'

This week I’m joined by Steve Hand the cofounder of Express Mortgages who shares with us some of the trials, tribulations and learnings from the last 17 years of business. 

Despite some painful challenges that we elaborate on during the episode, he has successfully navigated his way through the storm to scale a 7 figure business that prides itself on delivering an excellent service. 

It was great to hear more about the man behind such a well-oiled machine and hear his forecasts for the property market in 2022.

This week, Ellie is on a mission alongside wealth mentor, author and podcaster, Kevin Whelan, the founder of Wealth Builders, dedicated to helping business owners and property investors leverage existing assets to create lasting wealth.

Kevin discusses the power of wealth planning and how it can positively impact the lives of those who make it their own mission in life by making them financially independent, as well as the incredible story of his success so far.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Being financially independent is not just a luxury. In these unstable days, it is almost a necessity, insuring us against external factors, such as the economy and political shifts.
• The world is full of conflicting information. We are naturally drawn to the voices who relay an uncomplicated, empowering message that inspires hope, but which also offers a practical way to achieve our goals.
• Achieving financial independence is about slowly taking ownership of everything we need in life, and reducing the money we owe until we achieve our own "Debt Free Day"
• Far too many people do not utilise the power of their property in order to create a better life. They downsize far too late in life and take the traditional route of storing reserves in banks, which provides little to no return.

BEST MOMENTS 

'We're on a mission to help 50,000 people become financially independent'

'What you need is a unique message. You have to be passionate about your subject'

'The day you own everything and owe nothing is your debt-free day'

'It's going to lead to a life of compromise, a life of worry and a life of concern'

This week, on The Power of Property, I’m interviewing one of the founding members of The Supported Living Gateway Lisa Brown. After 20 years working as a Nurse for the NHS, Lisa talks about how circumstances led her to become an avid property developer who stumbled upon supported living as a practical, hassle-free way to scale her business whilst providing a valuable service to the community. 

Linking supported living providers with suitable properties for their vulnerable clients provides a win-win for both parties. Long term leases are guaranteed which provides security for the landlord and ensures that suitable quality accommodation is available for those who need it most. 

A brilliant insight from a fabulous lady!
