The Recipe for Entrepreneurial Success with Sophia Botchway

In this episode, David is joined by Sophia Botchway, who is an accountant, turned property investor, developer, and entrepreneur. Her main focus is using her property business to help people to find deals and taking empty and boarded up homes and making them available for families and people that really need them.

She shares her journey and explains how to work out whether you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur and enjoy it.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Bringing boarded-up properties back to life benefits the community as well as providing much-needed homes.
• Don’t be afraid of taking the plunge and do what you want, if it does not work you will learn from it.
• The downside of being an entrepreneur is that the buck stops with you.
• If you enjoy your day job and are good at it there is a good chance that you will succeed at doing it for yourself.
• Being passionate about what you do is what makes it enjoyable.
• If you have what people really need what you have to offer virtually sells itself.
• Getting a mentor is crucial for progress.
• Luck is Learning Under Controlled Knowledge. If you invest in your education, you will have the skills you need to succeed.

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan, and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see.
