How I Went from a Normal Life to Living the Dream

💡I started my journey as a BMX rider and learned video editing skills while making videos of myself riding.

🏡I bought my first house and renovated it, increasing its value and generating rental income.

💰I used the equity in my first house to buy another property, continuing to grow my real estate portfolio.

🚗I began rebuilding cars and documenting the process on YouTube, attracting sponsors and growing my channel.

👨‍🔧I opened my own workshop unit, allowing me to take on larger projects and expand my YouTube content.

How did you finance your property purchases?

—I initially saved up for a deposit and then refinanced the property to release equity for further investments.

Did you have any formal training in renovating properties or rebuilding cars?

—No, I am self-taught. I learned through hands-on experience, research, and trial and error.

What challenges did you face along the way?

—I faced financial risks, long working hours, and the pressure of growing my YouTube channel. However, the rewards outweighed the challenges.

How do you choose the cars you rebuild?

—I choose cars based on their potential resale value, availability of parts, and personal interest.

What advice do you have for someone wanting to follow a similar path?

—Believe in yourself, be willing to take risks, and never stop learning. Surround yourself with supportive people and never give up on your dreams.
