Buying Businesses Instead of Property: A Different Way to Build Wealth with Akhtar Khan

If you’ve ever felt like building wealth sounds complicated, overwhelming, or just not something that’s really “for you”… this episode is going to shift that.In this episode of Girls in Property I’m joined by Kevin Whelan, founder of Wealth Builders, and we’re having a really honest conversation about what wealth actually looks like, especially for women, and how you can start creating it in a way that feels clear and doable.We go into the seven pillars of wealth and break them down in a way that actually makes sense. Not just theory, but how you can start applying this to your own life, your income, and your future.We also talk about diversification, because wealth is not just one thing. It is about building different streams, different opportunities, and understanding how it all fits together.And one of the biggest parts of this episode is pensions. We get into SAS pensions and how they can be used within property, and how you can start thinking about your pension in a completely different way. Not just something for later, but something you can actively use to build wealth now in a more tax efficient way.This is one of those episodes that really opens your eyes and gets you thinking bigger.If you are serious about building wealth, this is for you.How to Get Involved With The Girls in Property  👇 👩 Join our GIP Community🖥️ Want to Raise Private Finance?

Ever felt stuck in a 9 to 5 and wondered what life could look like on the other side?In this episode, I’m joined by Tammy Hart, who shares her journey from corporate life into becoming a full time property investor and what that transition really looked like behind the scenes.But her story starts way before property.Tammy opens up about working in a slaughterhouse, where she was the only woman and the only Brazilian, and what that environment was really like for her. What she had to navigate, what she experienced, and the resilience she built through that chapter.Because those moments shape you. They build the strength you end up relying on later.We also talk honestly about leaving the structure and security of a corporate job and stepping into something completely different.The version of entrepreneurship we often imagine sounds like freedom and flexibility. But the reality can feel very different.No one is telling you what to do. No one is setting your schedule. And suddenly you are fully responsible for your time, your energy, and your direction.And that’s the part no one really teaches us. How to manage ourselves.This is a real conversation about the messy middle. The discipline it takes, the mindset shifts that come with it, and what it actually looks like to build something for yourself.If you’ve been feeling the pull to do something different, but also the weight of what that might mean, this one is for you. How to Get Involved With The Girls in Property  👇 👩 Join our GIP Community🖥️ Want to Raise Private Finance?

When we think about building wealth, most people immediately think about property.But what if there was another way to create serious income without tenants, refurbishments, or managing building work?In this week’s episode, I sit down with Akhtar Khan, a business psychologist and acquisitions expert with over 30 years of experience buying businesses. And honestly, this conversation opened my eyes to a completely different way of thinking about investing.Akhtar shares how buying businesses can be one of the most powerful ways to build income and diversify your portfolio. Instead of focusing only on property deals, he explains how you can acquire profitable businesses using creative deal structures and smart strategy.We talk about how someone could make £15,000 from a single deal without ever managing a tenant, builder, or refurbishment project.And the most interesting part? Many of the strategies overlap with the skills many of us already use in property.This episode is all about opening your mind to new opportunities, especially for women who want to step into bigger investor roles and start thinking beyond traditional property strategies.If you have ever wondered what else is possible when it comes to building wealth, this conversation will definitely get you thinking.Interested in learning more?If this episode has sparked your curiosity, we are hosting a live webinar on Wednesday 18th March where we will show you how you can get involved in buying businesses and start exploring this strategy for yourself.How to Get Involved With The Girls in Property  👇 👩 Join our GIP Community🖥️ Want to Raise Private Finance?

This week on the Girls in Property podcast, I’m joined by the incredible Samantha Hearn. Now, we could have spoken about nearly anything. We had so many conversation topics to choose from. Sam is a seven figure, multi million pound business owner. We could have talked strategy. Scaling. Sales. The big business moves.But we didn’t.Because when I think about the conversations I have with you all most frequently, it is not just about property or business growth.It is about motherhood. It is about mum guilt.It is about building something big while feeling pulled in 100 different directions.It is about wondering why you are not where you thought you would be by now.Some of you are mums trying to grow a business whilst holding everything together at home.Some of you are not mums and are quietly carrying the weight of that, especially when life has not unfolded the way you expected.And in this episode, Sam and I come at this from very different angles.We talk about fertility.We talk about identity.We talk about guilt.We talk about what it really looks like behind the scenes, even when things look shiny from the outside.It is raw, honest and powerful. Just two women bearing their souls to help other women feel seen & heard. There is no one size fits all answer in this episode. You will take from it what you need. And I really hope it meets you exactly where you are right now.This episode is for you xHow to Get Involved With The Girls in Property  👇 👩 Join our GIP Community🖥️ Want to Raise Private Finance?

In this episode of the Girls in Property Podcast, I sit down with Danielle Hobson and we have a proper healthy debate around business. I share my view that business can feel hard at times, especially when you are in the thick of running it day to day. Danielle brings a different perspective, that business itself is not actually the hard bit, but that we as humans can sometimes make it feel that way.We talk openly about the realities of entrepreneurship, the pressure, the growth, the lessons, and also the importance of community, self trust, and celebrating your wins along the way. We also touch on energetics, mindset, and how much self awareness plays a part in the results we create in business.It is one of those conversations where you might find yourself nodding along to one side, then the other. And that is exactly the point. There is space for both.If you have ever questioned whether business is meant to feel hard, or wondered if there is another way to experience it, this one will really get you thinking.As always, take what feels right for you, and trust your own path x How to Get Involved With The Girls in Property  👇 👩 Join our GIP Community🖥️ Want to Raise Private Finance?
