In this week's episode, I am thrilled to chat with one of the most successful UK property entrepreneurs - and my very own 'Rich Dad' - Sean Thomson.

During his two decades spent investing in property, Sean has achieved so much and is an inspiration to anyone who thinks, 'I want to do this, but I don't know where to begin'.

His back-story is not uncommon. South African born, Sean arrived in London in 2000 with no long-term goal, happily working the 9-5 treadmill and spending his 'winnings' each Friday evening drinking Guinness in the local pub. A few years later, he discovered Robert Kiyosaki. And after he couldn't put down his copy of the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", Sean realised he had to make a serious life change.

Thanks to the learnings he took away from Robert's best-seller, Sean has achieved incredible wealth from property. But it didn't happen overnight simply by reading a paperback – it involved serious time, effort and education, as well as finance, to make property work for him. Not to mention a desire to win!

From 2004 and buying his first few £30k back-to-backs in Burnley, to the present time and transforming disused buildings into spectacular homes in South Wales, Sean has utilised multiple strategies, including Buy-To-Lets, Social Housing, Commercial to Residential, and Flips. He has accumulated a massive amount of knowledge about property along his journey, and he doesn't mind sharing it with anyone keen to learn. It's no wonder he chose to become a property mentor, and I am so thankful he did, as this is how I met him and became inspired to delve into property myself.

What is Sean's fundamental rule when it comes to property investing? Take a listen and hear this golden nugget and many more as I chat with one of our industry's best!

Recently, I was thrilled to be a guest of Liv Conlon on her podcast, Too Big For Your Boots - so much so, I wanted to share this episode recorded by Liv as part of my podcast series too!
How else to describe Liv other than a 7-figure property guru with a bulletproof mindset to succeed! Liv only ever asks entrepreneurs and innovators along for a chat, so you can imagine how uplifting it felt to receive an invite!
As it goes, Liv is key to my journey and has much to answer for; and, as a member of Liv's Mastermind mentoring programme for several months now, I can honestly say since first meeting Liv, I have never looked back. During her podcast, she and I wax lyrical on several pertinent life points - from my humble beginnings in Poland born to two hardworking teacher parents, all the way through to today and managing a multi-faceted property empire, investing, sourcing, and staging homes throughout the UK.
It's at this point I must stress again, I am a wife and a Mum to three young children - the youngest only recently joining us on planet Earth! Liv and I speak at length about family and its importance to me, always coming first ahead of my business dealings. It is safe to say, though, property has afforded me the time to spend with my children and be the present Mum I always wanted to be. Family is my driver - and it's quite OK for it to be yours too!
If I want you to take anything from this podcast, it is this fact: with a strong mindset and the right property education, you can and will become successful in property, whatever your current position.
I hope you enjoy the episode with Liv and me!

Only one guest today - me!
Since so many of you listening will not yet know me, I wanted to introduce myself before we go on to meet my other guests, each one an entrepreneur who has found success from within the property sector.
You might have picked up on my name being from elsewhere - Poland, to be exact. I'll explain how I found myself living and investing in the UK and about my Polish roots, which at the time left me feeling restricted - with no family nearby, no network and no savings. Oh, what a feeling when I eventually found the confidence to enter the world I desperately wanted to join: Property!
You'll also learn about my home life - wife to Jacek, and Mum to three children (two until very recently!). This is something that runs throughout my podcast series: the importance of family. It is my driver and has been so ever since my early days working in property. Fundamentally, I want you to appreciate how anyone can achieve success in property, even those with limited money and other responsibilities such as a day job or childcare.
Ultimately, I'll provide advice paramount to my property journey and what I hope will prove helpful to you, too. For the complete novice, things for you to think about before starting in property - information I would have appreciated a few years ago! Or for the property investor who is ready to step up the pace and take your business to another level, lots of advice to help you too.
Spoiler alert: in this episode, I also share one of my biggest tips for investors to help you maximise each of your deals!
Please enjoy getting to know me.
Gosia.

Fundamentally, I want to inspire you to follow in my footsteps and see your property dreams become real. There is lots of talk about property, yes, but also about being a wife, a Mum - just an everyday lady, juggling my responsibilities while making a crust! Anyone can succeed and I am proof of that.

By sharing our experiences - the successes and struggles - my guests and I give you the confidence to get going. Welcome aboard - your property journey with me, Gosia Zurowska, begins here!
