@Christy Parkins Hi Christy, thank you so much for your message. I really appreciate your openness. Just to clarify, I’m based here in the UK. The $14,000 was generated through a system I set up with guidance from a collaborator in the hub, and it’s not limited to overseas property. The principles and strategies can be applied regardless of location, which is one of the things I found really powerful when I was starting. Like you, I came into this looking for a way out of long working hours and towards more freedom, so everything I’ve followed has been very practical and realistic alongside work. If you’re happy, the next step would be for me to share a bit more about my journey so far and the exact steps I took, then you can see if it aligns with what you’re looking to achieve. No pressure at all, just support and clarity.

@Christy Parkins Hi Christy, I’m happy to share a bit more of my journey so you understand where I’m coming from. Before this, I was running an online marketing and personal development business (Discover, launch & scale your own online business), but honestly, things weren’t going as expected. I spent almost two years trying to build it on my own, putting in effort but not getting the results I hoped for. I later shifted my focus to becoming an e-commerce business owner. The beginning wasn’t easy at all. I faced a lot of challenges and confusion, but everything changed when I connected with a collaborator from a Skool community. Through that connection, I was introduced to a professional e-commerce business builder with whom I worked closely. With a relatively small investment and by following his proven strategy step by step, the results completely changed my life. I’ve now been earning consistently, not less than $14,000, for the past two months. Because of this, I’m now able to fund and scale my online marketing and personal development business properly, using the same strategic principles I learned. I’ve always been passionate about sharing what’s genuinely working for me, especially with people who are serious about creating freedom and a reliable income for themselves. I’m more than happy to walk you through the steps I took, and if it helps, I can even connect you with the same person who supported me, as he has far more experience than I do. Would you be open to that?

@Anne Brockbank, Welcome to the group! It’s truly inspiring to have someone with 37 years of property experience join us; your journey alone carries lessons that many people are still seeking. You’re absolutely right: education is everything, especially in a market that keeps evolving. I’m thinking about after so many years in property, what gaps or changes in today’s market made you decide it was time to keep sharpening your knowledge? And what strategies or areas are you currently working on or most interested in refining right now? We’re delighted to have you here, and we’re confident that your insights will bring great value to the community. Looking forward to learning and growing together

@Vicki Mantle Merry Christmas🎄. Great question! Moving a property into a business can be a powerful move when done for the right reasons. Since joining Assets for Life Hub, what have you gained so far in your property journey: more clarity, strategy, or confidence around structuring and tax? What originally motivated you to get into property and start thinking beyond just owning personally? For most of us, it’s typically about protecting assets, minimizing tax leakage, and establishing a solid foundation for the long term. What are you currently working on right now, holding, scaling, restructuring, or preparing for your next acquisition? The right move isn’t just about selling or transferring it’s about aligning the property with your long-term wealth plan, not just today’s problem. Keen to hear where you’re at

@Linda Feeley, Welcome to the Assets for Life Hub You’re actually raising a very real concern, and you’re not wrong. A lot of people feel stuck at the beginning because connections are exactly what help you move faster, avoid mistakes, and scale with confidence. Many of us joined for that same reason: access, clarity, and the right network, not just another platform. Out of thinking about : - What have you gained so far since joining the Hub? - What really motivated you to come in? - Was it deals, connections, mentorship, or strategy? - And what are you currently working on in property? The reason I ask is that most experienced beginners here already possess the skills; what they’re missing is leverage, the right rooms, and people who truly understand. That’s where things start to change. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. This conversation matters.

@Linda Feeley This makes total sense, and honestly, you’ve just described the exact struggle I had early on, too. You’re clearly already in motion: active projects, team ready for January, investor focus. The real challenge isn’t knowledge; it’s time, systems, and cutting through the noise. Trying to build websites, CRMs, AI tools, NDAs, and investor touchpoints (all on a tight budget) can drain momentum fast. What’s been working for me is simplifying everything. I’ve been able to set up a proven system that’s already generating income by focusing on: - People and deals first, not perfect tech - A small number of tools that actually get used - Real conversations and accountability inside the Hub That “there’s got to be an easier way” feeling? You’re right, there is. It usually comes from being in the right room with people solving the same problems in real time. thinking about what’s your biggest bottleneck right now: investors, systems, or deal flow?

@Simon Hoadley Love this, Simon. It’s always powerful to hear real experiences like yours. As a fellow member of Assets for Life Hub, I’m wondering what you say has been the biggest gain for you so far since being part of this journey? Was it the support, the mindset shift, or finally having clear direction? What originally motivated you to join, and what problem were you trying to solve at that point? Many of us come in feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of the next move. Was that part of your story, too? And today, what are you currently working on or building toward? Appreciate you sharing this, Simon. Stories like yours really speak to people who are still sitting on the fence and wondering if this is worth it.
