      • How to Transform Adversity in Later Life into a New Career – Ep 32 – Emma Brezan

        In this episode, Ildikó chats with Emma Brezan, who spent many years as an NHS practitioner before finding herself, at aged 50, on her deathbed, let down by the very system she served. Emma worked out how to heal herself and learned property investment from Progressive which turned her into the HMO Queen.

        KEY TAKEAWAYS


        1. Use All of Your Talents: Emma set up 2 new successful businesses. The

        FREEDOM™ Method - a coaching framework created out of her recovery that is now a course, a retreat concept, and a series of soon to be published books and as the HMO Queen she also coaches people through property investment.

        2. Identify Your Purpose: Investing in property gave Emma structure and helped her survive. But writing and creating the FREEDOM™ Method is what has given her meaning and purpose.

        3. Journaling Works : Emma was fiercely against journalling — until she tried it as part of her healing. What started as reluctant scribbles turned into her first book, Fears, Failings & Fulfilment.

        4. Turn Pain Into Strength: Address any underlying trauma. When you do, your emotional and much of your physical pain dissipates. Shifting your mindset enables you to truly heal and turn those traumas into a source of strength.

        5. Trust Your Intuition: Trust your gut, particularly when navigating challenges.


        BEST MOMENTS

        Emma: “I was in so much pain; I had gone from working 18-hour days to sleeping for 18 hours.”

        Emma: “When the thing chooses you, its obviously the right thing. HMOs found me.”

        Emma: I’m starting to teach people how I did it. Then I'm starting actually healing myself physically, and I started thinking about healing myself emotionally, and then when the freedom method stuff started happening.”

        Emma: If you live with compassion towards yourself and towards others, there's a better meaning to your life."

        Emma: "Freedom stands for finally, reclaiming every element of decision making and outcome and meaning in your life."

                      • From Swiss Army Knife to Kitchen Specialist - Ep 27 Daniel Sealey

                        In this episode Ildiko interviews her husband, Daniel

                        Sealey, who launched his latest venture, Cornflower Kitchens and Bathrooms, at the age of 50. Daniel tells us about his journey from a diverse career—including sailing tour ships and running a bird empire—to specializing in kitchen and bathroom renovations.


                        KEY TAKEAWAYS

                        1. Embracing Reinvention in Later Life: Starting a new business in later life can be a continuation of previous experiences, allowing individuals to specialise and reduce physical demands, as seen with the transition to a kitchen and bathroom business.
                        2. Importance of Specialisation: Focusing on a specific area, such as kitchens and bathrooms, enables better mastery and efficiency, allowing for improved service delivery and customer satisfaction.
                        3. Value of Routine and Planning: Establishing a structured routine, including dedicated focus sessions and a weekly planning process, helps in maintaining productivity and ensuring that business goals are met.
                        4. Networking and Mentorship: Engaging with a community of like-minded entrepreneurs and participating in mentorship programs can provide valuable insights, support, and motivation, making the entrepreneurial journey less isolating.
                        5. Personal Values in Business: Upholding personal values such as quality, honesty, and customer service is crucial for building a successful business. This includes understanding customer needs and providing tailored solutions that enhance their experience.


                          BEST MOMENTS

                          Daniel: "It was a continuation of my old business, really. So from that point of view, it was just specializing and it's almost just making life a little bit easier for me and less physically demanding."


                          Ildiko: "How do you see yourself in 20 years' time? Do you think you will have given up work?"


                          Daniel: "One person working on their own is not scalable. If I've got a contracting team that can install five kitchens a month, then we can work on multiple projects at the same time."


                          Ildiko: "What I would like to ask on the back of that though... Did you review how you were doing during the year and at the end of the year?"


                          Daniel: "If you miss the thing twice, that becomes the new routine. People need to be double careful because it's like one day you might not feel it."

                        6. Exploring the Three Pillars of Career Change -Ep 26 Liz Bell

                          In todays episode Ildiko welcomes Liz Bell, a purpose-driven life and career change coach who empowers women to transition from feeling stuck to fulfilled. Liz shares her colorful career journey, from programming jukeboxes to mentoring young people globally, and discusses her innovative three-pillar coaching program: Explore, Dream, and Discover.


                          KEY TAKEAWAYS

                          1. Empowering Purpose-Driven Women: The focus is on helping women transition from feeling stuck and drained to becoming fulfilled and energized by discovering their true purpose and potential in their careers.
                          2. Three-Pillar Coaching Program: The coaching approach is structured around three pillars: Explore (self-discovery), Dream (imagining possibilities), and Discover (realistic planning for the future), which guide clients in identifying their passions and potential career paths.
                          3. Overcoming Self-Sabotage: Many clients come with preconceived notions that limit their opportunities. The coaching process involves unpicking these beliefs and encouraging clients to explore ideas they may have previously discounted.
                          4. Flexibility in Routine: A successful health routine can adapt to changing circumstances. For example, meditation or silence can be practiced in different environments, demonstrating the importance of maintaining routines even when life gets busy.
                          5. Importance of Self-Love and Beliefs: Recognising and addressing negative beliefs formed in childhood can lead to significant personal growth. Emphasising self-love and understanding one's own journey is crucial for both personal and professional development.

                            Liz : "I help women to go from stuck and drained to fulfilled and fired up by teaching them how to outwit their own self-sabotaging brains."


                            Liz : "The thing that's most important is that these women feel that they are driven by some kind of purpose."


                            Liz : "Once you recognise where your beliefs come from, you can start to have a bit more compassion for yourself."


                            Liz : "You can't take your client any deeper than you have been yourself."

                            In this episode Ildikó welcomes Kate Bickford, a vibrant entrepreneur who has transitioned from a successful media career to establishing her own estate agency at the age of 63. Kate shares her fascinating journey, which includes a stint managing gentlemen's clubs and her passion for helping clients navigate the often stressful process of buying and selling their home.


                            KEY TAKEAWAYS

                            1. Entrepreneurial Spirit in Later Life: Starting a new business in later life can be fulfilling and energising, as demonstrated by the journey of setting up an estate agency at the age of 63. Embracing reinvention rather than retirement can lead to new adventures and opportunities.

                            2. Importance of Communication: Effective communication is crucial in the real estate industry. Building strong relationships with clients, whether they are buyers or sellers, enhances the overall experience and helps navigate the complexities of property transactions.

                            3. Utilising Technology: Leveraging modern technology and social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram can significantly impact property marketing and client engagement. A robust CRM system can streamline operations and improve client communication.

                            4. Negotiation Skills: Negotiation is a key aspect of real estate, whether working for buyers or sellers. Understanding the market and being able to advocate for clients' best interests is essential for achieving favourable outcomes.

                              Physical and Mental Well-being: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through exercise, such as yoga and boxing, is important for overall well-being, especially in high-stress professions. Incorporating physical activity into daily routines can enhance both physical fitness and mental resilience.

                              1. "I really don't mind. It could be a £200,000 first-time buyer or a £5 million house... But if you're a knob, I'm not going to work for you." - Kate

                              2. "I think people really underestimate what they bring from one job into another because there are so many soft skills that are really important." - Kate

                              3. "If you're not embarrassed about your offer, it's too high." - Kate

                              4. "I set up WhatsApp groups... so even if I've got a case at the moment where the house is in one person's name, I said look let's include them in the conversation." - Kate

                                "It's entirely in my interest to help my clients." - Kate

                              5. From Aerospace to Author - Ep24 Dave Thomas

                                In this episode Ildiko chats the resourceful Dave Thomas, who shares his inspiring journey of reinvention after leaving a high-flying aerospace career to care for his mother with Alzheimer's. At 68, Dave embarked on a new venture as an author, writing his book "Painless Property Investment" and mentoring others in property investment.


                                KEY TAKEAWAYS

                                • Embrace Reinvention: Starting a new business or pursuing a passion later in life can lead to fulfilling experiences, as demonstrated by the journey into authorship and property investment.
                                • Writing Process: Establishing a daily writing routine, even if it starts with just three words, can help overcome writer's block and lead to productive writing sessions.
                                • Simplicity in Business: The approach to property investment should be straightforward, focusing on the essential steps of purchasing, refurbishing, renting, and refinancing, rather than complicating the process.
                                • Utilizing Technology: Tools like Workflowy for organizing thoughts and Otter AI for dictation can enhance the writing process, making it easier to capture ideas and streamline the editing phase.
                                • Observational Skills: Drawing inspiration from everyday life and interactions, such as observing people during commutes, can enrich storytelling and provide material for writing.


                                  BEST MOMENTS

                                  • Dave: "I just felt that there was too much bluff going on about how you could buy properties. People wanted to charge lots of money for very simple things."
                                  • Dave: "I decided to just write a simple four-chapter book: Purchase, refurbish, rent, and refinance."
                                  • Ildiko: "Aren't there enough books already?"
                                  • Dave: "I always found that as a great way to start. Just write three words a day, and all of a sudden you think three words isn't enough."
                                  • Dave: "I write things down like that and then underline that and I start again."
