Escaping Groundhog Day with Ellie McKay


Listen Later

Ellie McKay went from minimum wage at 17, to running a team of over 100 people at 19 and is this week's guest on Sweat Grit & Hustle. She joins host Tracey to tell you her story of getting into property with her husband and there will be tips and tricks you can learn along the way.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Ellie and her husband had invested their savings into a property that was supposed to be worth £195,000 on completion. Then after a series of delays and a global financial crisis, the property was worth only £60,000.
  • Ellie has mastered creating a win-win situation. She gets the money she needs for properties and investors make a profit.
  • To work in property or as your own boss in general you need to have a grit and determination about you. You can’t let the hits knock you down, you need to be able to stay on your feet and find a solution.
  • Financial freedom is about freedom of choice, when to do it, where to do it, and who to do it with.
  • Trying to gain engagement and traction on social media is hard. Don’t be demoralized, Ellie has people who only get in touch after months of watching what you do.

BEST MOMENTS

‘There’s no way we’ve come this far to only come this far’

‘You’re a marketer first, everything else second’

‘Relationships are the highest form of currency’
