"You Don't Need Money To Buy A House! When You Want Something Just Make It Happen!" Property investor, Coach and International Speaker, Joanna Whittaker joins Carmen Milagro on From The Ground Up.

Joanna, invests in properties in the UK and Spain, which gives her a sound understanding of the market. She says she loves renovating, extending and giving new life to old and neglected buildings. But it wasn't always like this. She’s had her fair share of mistakes and drama, like many of us. At one point she had to juggle two jobs, school runs and manage her unsupportive family.

Back then she didn’t have a coach to help her out and she had to learn the hard and slow way. She now helps OTHERS avoid that painful journey.

Today as a single woman and mother, she’s achieved financial freedom and created dream life for herself & her family.
