Commercial to Residential: Craig Shields' Strategic Approach to Property Development
In today's episode, Emma sits down with Craig Shields, a successful property developer and mentor. Exploring his remarkable journey from a carpenter to a thriving entrepreneur in the property industry, Craig shares the bold decision to partner with his client, interior designer Suzanne Elsie. He discusses the evolution of his business, which now includes a focus on commercial to residential developments, emphasising the importance of mindset shifts, collaboration, and building strong relationships in overcoming challenges and achieving success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Building strong partnerships and collaborating with others can significantly enhance your business journey. Having business partners allows for shared risks and diverse skill sets, which can lead to greater success. Transitioning from a tradesperson to a property developer requires a significant mindset shift. Embracing the idea that larger projects can be managed effectively by breaking them down into repeatable tasks can alleviate fears associated with big jobs. Establishing long-term relationships through networking is crucial. Building trust and understanding with potential partners and clients over time can lead to fruitful collaborations and opportunities. Many tradespeople struggle with letting go of control. Implementing systems and delegating tasks can free up time and allow for personal growth, enabling individuals to focus on strategic aspects of their business. Engaging in mentorship and mastermind groups can provide valuable support and accountability. Surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals fosters personal and professional growth, helping to maintain motivation and drive. BEST MOMENTS "The boldest decision I ever made was going into business with my business partner, Suzanne, who was my client. It’s been a very good decision." "Not everyone manages to do what you do. So you've made some really considerable transitions from being an apprentice trade to a successful property developer." "A lot of tradespeople are perfectionists, and they struggle to let go. Realising that 80% is good enough is key to moving forward." "When you have those moments of doubt or setbacks, how do you overcome them? What lessons have you learned along the way?" "You can't do it all on your own. Business partners are a very big key to overcoming setbacks and challenges."

#005 Emma Fielding: Flipping Houses and Breaking Barriers, A Young Investors Achievements
In this episode, Emma interviews the remarkable Emma Fielding, a young and successful property investor who has flipped 14 properties and raised £2.7 million. Emma F shares her journey from the corporate world to becoming a full-time property investor, highlighting the pivotal moments that fueled her passion for real estate. She discusses her hands-on approach to renovations, the importance of mindset, and the value of surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Transitioning from a corporate job to property investment was driven by a desire for independence and a passion for property. The realisation that flipping houses could yield more profit than a corporate salary was a pivotal moment. Gaining practical experience by managing renovations and working closely with tradespeople was crucial. This hands-on approach not only built confidence but also enhanced knowledge of the renovation process. Building strong relationships with trades and surrounding oneself with experienced individuals in the property industry can provide valuable insights and support. Engaging with others who are further along in their journey can accelerate learning and growth. Success in property investment requires taking calculated risks and acting on opportunities. Whether it's making a purchase or engaging with potential investors, taking action is essential for progress. Stepping out of comfort zones and embracing challenges, such as participating in competitions or showcasing work on social media, can lead to personal and professional growth. Maintaining a positive mindset and focusing on opportunities rather than fears is key to overcoming obstacles. BEST MOMENTS "The driving force for me was that I didn't want a boss." "I thought, wow, there is something to this. And clearly, I'm doing something right here." "I think when you tell people your vision, they buy into it." "What have you got to lose? That's literally what I think." "If you've given something your best shot, that's the only thing anybody can ever ask of you." HOST BIO Emma Howitt is a seasoned property coach, mindset expert, and entrepreneur with many years of experience in transforming lives through property investing.

#004 The Key To Property Wealth: Aligning Mindset & Strategy
In today's episode, Emma delves into the crucial relationship between mindset and strategy in achieving property wealth. Emma emphasises the importance of understanding your "why" as the foundation for long-term success in property investment. She shares personal insights and examples, including the transformative journey of a mentee who found alignment between her values and her property strategy. Emma explores how a strong emotional connection to your goals can drive behaviour and decision-making, ultimately leading to greater resilience in the face of challenges. KEY TAKEAWAYS Identifying and understanding your "why" is crucial for success in property investing. It drives behaviour, shapes decisions, and helps maintain motivation during challenging times. Success in property is not just about the strategies you employ but also about aligning those strategies with your personal values and emotional motivations. A strong "why" makes the "how" easier. Digging deep into your emotional reasons for pursuing property investment can lead to greater clarity and commitment. Techniques like the "7 Why exercise" can help uncover these deeper motivations. Creating a vivid picture of your goals and the emotions associated with achieving them can enhance your motivation and help program your subconscious for success. Writing and revisiting a personal mission statement daily reinforces your goals and keeps you focused on your "why." Consistent reflection and action are key to changing your mindset and achieving property goals. BEST MOMENTS "Your why is literally so critical for succeeding in your property journey." "The bigger your why, the easier your how." "People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it." "You were born rich. The tools for success are already within you." "Success is 20% skill and 80% strategy."

#003 Unlocking Opportunities: How Sitefindr Revolutionises Deal Sourcing with Reshma Thakore
In this episode, Emma engages in an insightful conversation with Reshma Thakore from Sitefindr, a platform revolutionising how property investors source opportunities. They delve into Reshma's journey from estate agency to creating a marketplace that connects deal sourcers with investors, emphasising the importance of trust and quality in property deals. Reshma shares her experiences in property investing, the challenges faced, and the mindset required to overcome obstacles. KEY TAKEAWAYS Property investing teaches resilience, and overcoming challenges is essential for success. Building confidence through experience and learning from setbacks is crucial. Surrounding oneself with a supportive network, such as mastermind groups, can provide perspective and encouragement during tough times. Engaging with like-minded individuals helps in navigating obstacles. The focus should be on sourcing quality deals rather than just any deal. Having a thorough qualification process for deals helps build trust with investors and ensures that only viable opportunities are presented. Working with a partner who has different strengths can enhance business success. Understanding and appreciating each other's skills allows for a more effective collaboration. Offering additional resources, such as compliance assistance for deal sources, can help remove barriers to entry in property investing. Providing tools and support fosters growth and encourages more people to engage in the property market. BEST MOMENTS "I think property teaches you resilience better than anything I've known." "We thought, okay, how can we bring in our 12 years of estate agency experience to transform the way people are doing things?" "We will not accept deals below a certain ROI or below a certain percentage of below market value level." "It's all about you win, we win. We decided that from the get-go." "If it doesn't stack as quickly as that, it's probably not a deal."
