Embracing life challenges - with Flora Russo

This podcast is a part of Rob´s women in business series. Today, he speaks to Flora Russo who is a property sourcer and buy-to-let landlord. Flora took the daunting decision to move from Italy to the UK in 2013. Initially, she continued to work in IT. But soon decided to switch to property. Flora explains why she gave up a well-paid job to do so and shares tips to help others who want to do something similar. Including how she overcame big hurdles like the language barrier. Flora also provides an insight into the sourcing and buy-to-let businesses as well as how she thinks the market will develop in 2021.

Travelling broadens the mind it helps you to look at things from a different perspective in all areas of your life. When you are setting goals, you need to understand your why. It is your why which provides the fuel and momentum you need to get things done. Documenting your journey on social media is a powerful way to grow your network. Social media is a great way to raise funds for projects. Property sourcing is challenging at the moment because there is so little stock available. There is still huge interest in buying into the UK market. Once you have a team in the area you work in and you have the processes in place you can easily grow. Have a big goal but break it down into small actions and work on it every day. You do not have to be special to be a business success.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We really only have one shot, and we have to make the most of it.’ ‘When you set your goals, you need to have your why mind engaged.’ ‘Estate agents work with so many investors, so building a relationship is very important.’ ‘Believe in yourself, find a way, and do it.’     VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website  Buy to Let: How to Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon)   EPISODE RESOURCES Rich Dad Poor Dad     GUEST RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/florarussoproperty/ https://www.facebook.com/flora.russo.965 https://www.facebook.com/EmpireResidentialConsultingLtd https://empireresidential.co.uk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/flora-russo-property-investor-north-east-uk-25811b14/ [email protected]   ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.
