During that time, Steph has used every property business strategy you can think of, so you will learn a lot from this episode regardless of where you are on your property entrepreneur journey.   Stephanie explains why she has built a brand based on her rather than on a business name. She also shares the role that using social media and not feeling good enough played in the mental breakdown that she had and how she recovered and has managed to stay healthy since.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   There is a steep learning curve for property entrepreneurs, so it is important to start with one model and with a relatively small deal. You cannot really broker deals until you have experienced developing properties yourself. You won´t get anywhere unless you push yourself outside of your comfort zone. Even if you do not do well academically there are still ways to quickly make enough money to buy your 1st property. One method is shared in the episode. If you can´t afford to buy get a job within the property industry e.g. in an estate agency. You need a support network. When you work alone it is easy to become overwhelmed and give up when things don´t go smoothly. If you can´t get the job you want, work for the person who is doing that job so you can learn from them. As you progress on your journey teach others what you are doing. It helps them and cements your knowledge while enabling you to build a strong reputation and brand. Being yourself is the best way to get people to trust you and invest in you or what you are selling. Use a business model that builds legacy wealth. Building your brand on you as a person is powerful. It enables you to easily pivot and take your followers and investors in new directions. If you have mental health issues, try therapy. Don´t be afraid to set boundaries and take time out to rest and reset. BEST MOMENTS   "If there is any opportunity to be around somebody who is doing what you want to do, give your time up to them for free."   "Networking is one of the strongest ways of getting your brand out there."   "I am a brand; I want to be able to pivot my brand to whatever I am doing."   EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/stephaniebaker_property https://grow.capital-elite.co.uk/linktree   HOST BIOS   Alex & Pooh have built a portfolio of over 16 Serviced Accommodation Units and 10 Buy-To-Lets collectively over the last 5 years.   This AirBnB Business has allowed each of them to create their own tailor-made ‘lifestyle by design.’   Pooh chose to escape the corporate life as an electrical engineer instead to spend his time at home with his young and growing family, and Alex likes to spend most of his time in sunny Spain enjoying his love for road cycling or even hiking in the Tramuntana mountain ranges.
