Something interesting I passed on my walk yesterday a house looks like a Teapot haha Happy Friday everyone!!

Happy Saturday everyone!!

For years, I played by the conventional rules. Work hard. Save a little. Maybe, one day, I’d have enough to buy a house - or breathe. Spoiler alert: That day never came. Not because I wasn’t capable. Not because I wasn’t smart enough. But because I let my lack of confidence keep me playing small. I told myself passive income was for other people. Investors. Risk-takers. People who knew what they were doing. So, I kept trading my time for money. Working instead of building. Earning instead of owning. And where did that get me? Stressed. Exhausted. Stuck. FOR 9(!) Years! The lesson is this: Confidence isn’t what makes you successful. Taking action is. The second I stopped waiting to “feel ready” and started owning my financial future? Everything changed in only two months. ✅I traded a soul-sucking job for a really lovely one ✅I moves to Scotland (a long-time dream) ✅I started to spend more time with the people I loved ✅I gave myself more experiences that I want to have ✅I created a 4-figure passive income stream (after 15 years of thinking about it) I realised that if I didn't take any action and didn't put myself out there, I would never be able to change anything. Want freedom? Go get it. 🔥🚀 What is stopping you from taking action towards your goals today?! Let me know in the comments and let's help each other grow. 👇

@Shayla D welcome to our community of WINNERS! Please introduce yourself in the comments below and tell us ONE thing we should know about you. 😊

They said property was the key to freedom… so I went all in. In 2024, I started a property business. “Property is the safest way to build wealth.” “Real estate is always a smart investment.” “You can create passive income that lasts forever.” RIGHT?! I believed it. So, I jumped in—full force. I did the research, went to the seminars, started networking, followed all the expert advice and even made some fantastic friends on the property scene. 🥳 I created a company, worked my way through all the regulations to be able to work as a property sourcer only to find out that my new boss was the HMRC anti-money laundering division... ...and those guys have no sense of humour. 😣 WHY? Because I was done with the grind. I wanted money that worked for me. But it turns out that when you have no MONEY to invest, the only way to make money in property is by leveraging your TIME. And that's the thing I didn't want to commit more of! So I was trapped again. £13.5k of financial losses and 12 months of (in)sanity later, I can honestly say that I am glad to have come away unscathed. And whilst I have learned a lot and hope to invest in property in the future, I am no longer interested in the more creative strategies this industry offers. No more grinding for me! Tomorrow, I’ll tell you how I got out of the traps, fixed my income streams (and my mindset) and made £3000 in truly passive income since January 2025. #newMONEYgame
