For every challenge, there is a solution. It’s all about mindset and self-belief I wasn’t surrounded by like-minded people and I felt out of place I was that rebel I tried doing things the same way as everyone else and it didn’t work out I wasn’t in the right place and it wasn’t the life I wanted to lead. I had a vision about what I wanted to do and my subconscious mind was saying what have I got to lose? I never thought I couldn’t do it; it was just about how I was going to do it When you are doing something that you enjoy it’s not like work. Surround yourself with the people you want to be like. If you direct your hard work and passion with self-belief you can succeed but your mindset has to be on point You need to have a vision and goals to aspire to if you want to succeed. You need to have a ‘why’ Everyone has the same opportunities it’s about what you want to do in life We are all individuals and you have to do what is right for you.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Property seemed to come naturally to me’ ‘I’ve now got projects that make me the keeper of my own life’ ‘You need to surround yourself with like-minded people’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Business, Wealth and Mindset podcast series   Eden Property Sourcing Facebook   ABOUT THE GUEST Where one door closes, another opens’   Gemma owns Edens Property Sourcing Ltd and was working part-time on her business until she was made redundant in 2020 during the Coronavirus pandemic after a 5-year career.
