In this very first episode of Property Mindset, Emma sits down with the incredible Toyin Ayandare, a successful property investor and mentor who has built an impressive eight-figure portfolio. Together they delve into Toyin's journey as a black woman in a predominantly male-dominated industry, discussing the challenges and biases she has faced, as well as the resilience she has cultivated along the way. Toyin shares her insights on the importance of mindset in property investing, the significance of understanding one's "why," and the value of surrounding oneself with a supportive network.
KEY TAKEAWAYS- Success in property investment is not solely about numbers or strategies; it heavily relies on having a strong mindset and understanding your "why." This foundation helps cultivate resilience and enables individuals to seize opportunities.
- Facing challenges and setbacks is part of the journey. Learning from difficult projects can build character and resilience, ultimately contributing to personal and professional growth.
- Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who are pursuing similar goals is essential. A supportive network can inspire and motivate you, helping to maintain an abundance mindset.
- Taking risks is a necessary part of property investment, but it's important to differentiate between calculated risks and impulsive decisions. Trusting your instincts and doing thorough research can guide you in making informed choices.
- Sharing knowledge and mentoring others can be incredibly rewarding. Establishing structured programs, like the ICON Academy, allows for a more impactful way to help others navigate their property journeys and achieve financial freedom.
BEST MOMENTS"I think it just takes me way back to the very beginning. I said, one, I think you're female, and the next thing she said, I mean, at the time, you're young, I don't feel that young anymore, I said you're black."
"I realised I have met some people where I've tried to change them, but not everything said is done with the intention of being malicious."
"What I really liked about the way you've approached this is just understanding that generally people are not coming from a position of malice."
"I made a decision that I was never going to have that situation happen to my family. I thought, I'm going to work really hard. I'm going to be wealthy."
"I believe your mindset is pretty much the foundation of your property journey. Success in property investment isn't just about numbers."
