Hope you all had a great summer, I know a lot of our friends did and the uk weather was kind. We thank you for your understanding for having August off.

By discovering your key values, working out a strategy, and taking small actions everyday, you can accelerate your personal growth and live a life full of joy, adventure, and satisfaction.

🎙️ In today’s episode, we’re diving into the first three chapters:

Hey everyone 👋

Welcome back to another bonus episode where we get brilliant book recommendations from inspiring entrepreneurial guests!

Today’s guest is the wonderful Scott Williams — property developer, podcast host, and all-around powerhouse. You might already know him from The Property Developer Show or his YouTube channel. If not, go give him a follow: 📲 @propertydevelopershow 📲 @scottluiswilliams

Scott’s book of choice? The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy — a game-changer we haven’t yet covered in the club, so this is a must-listen. He also drops another favourite as other bonus guests have also recommended it: Hustle Harder Hustle Smarter by Curtis Jackson (AKA 50 Cent) — one we’ve definitely got to add to the list!

🛑 Quick heads up:

1. This episode was recorded back in February (yes, life got busy!)

2. My ADHD was in full swing during the chat — so if you hear a few interruptions, take it as a sign I was loving the convo 😂

Scott, it was such a pleasure having you on! And listeners — you can also catch me on Scott’s podcast and YouTube channel, so don’t forget to check that out and show your support by liking and sharing 💛

Thanks for tuning in — we’ll be back with another episode on Friday!

Much love, Holly & Anna x

• Part 1 - How the Slight Edge Works

• Chapter 1 – The Beach Bum & The Millionaire

• Chapter 2 – The first Ingredient

• Chapter 3 – The Choice

• Chapter 4 – Master The Mundane

And If you want to see Anna and me in Person why not come along to Our Sheffield Property & Poppadoms event. Where Anna will be our speaker on the 16th of July and I will be your host :) Anna will be sharing her top tips and her giveaway freebie! Tickets are £5 and you buy your curry on the night.
