As a property investor and owner of one of the UK’s biggest property-training companies, it can sometimes be hard to get people to understand that anyone can become financially free. Financial freedom simply means that you have enough passive income to cover your living expenses. To help people understand the possibilities, every so often I challenge myself to either start from nothing and become financially free or to help someone else do so. I film the whole experience and document it on my YouTube channel to inspire others to take control of their finances. It is both a lot of fun and a lot of hard work, but it really is worth it.Recently, I helped my employee Amelia Asante attain financial freedom. She started as my videographer and is now a talent manager. She has always asked a lot of questions about property investment, but I wanted to know she was serious about investing in herself. When she signed up for my academy, I knew she meant business. That’s when I decided to do a financial-freedom challenge with her. We spent a week together and, through a range of strategies from rent to rent to house hacking, we got her to financial freedom.
