S1 Episode 17 - The Queen of Real Estate, Natasha Collins on Mindset, Property & True Grit..

***Natasha Collins***

 

Episode 17 - The Queen of Real Estate, oh YES!! Natasha Collins, her energy is infectious and her knowledge and no-frills approach is second to none. Laura askes Natasha about her Journey, How she overcame obstacles in her journey.

 

Natasha Collins - 

Natasha is a Property Investor, Chartered Surveyor, Mindset Advocate & Award-winning lecturer, and runs NC Real Estate, Her firm of surveyors which also includes it’s Members Club for Landlords and Property Investors. If this wasn't enough she manages all this from her home in NYC…

Here is Natashas Story - 

"

I got started in property by accident. Being a bankrupt student at 20 meant I had to get a job for my final year. I landed myself an admin role in a letting agent.  

I’d hoped that my Geography and Computing degree would land me a job as a mapping specialist. However, 38 telephone interviews later with no call back, I’d lost hope this was my calling. 

So, with the money I’d saved whilst working I booked myself 3 months in America to ‘figure out my life’.  

As luck would have it, before I left, I met a surveyor in need of a rental property. Whilst, I couldn’t help with his ideal home, I could help with babysitting (I was cash strapped!!). He introduced me to what a surveyor was and suggested I give it a try… he got me an interview with a firm in London and whilst I was travelling, they contacted me to offer me a permanent position when I returned.  

No, I didn’t figure out my life whilst travelling but I certainly found a life long love for long haul flights, hidden waterfalls, tops of mountains, southern BBQ food, outlet mall shopping and lazing on the beach when the humidity soared.  

Also, just to confirm. I’m a people person, my Grandma taught me to always engage with people. I can get a job based on me being a conversationalist. I’ve never been an A* student. "

Moving to London was a culture shock. Long hours, huge responsibilities but equally huge pay packets meant I was living in an urban bubble of gym, work, play.  

Within 3 months I’d been promoted to head of asset management, as my predecessor had left. It was sink or swim so I persevered.  

I was learning A LOT!

• * How to find finance to buy property investments * How to create a strategy that evaluates all possibilities and then go for it with confidence * How to make friends in a strange new city and navigate the tube network when drunk 

It was this confidence that led me to create a business plan for my parents and persuade them to lend me the money to buy my first rental property in Notting Hill for £195,000.  

I was riding my idea of success, I’d found an industry I was great at and wanted to continue doing my best.  

So, I enrolled in Real Estate Masters at UCEM, so I could then get chartered once I’d finished and was now working, studying and still socialising. I felt invincible.  

2012 was a long hot summer. London was partying around the Olympics and I was enjoying getting closer to Chris. I was having the perfect year and to top it off my fee earning was just increasing and increasing so my bonuses were getting bigger and bigger.  

You can only do it all for so long…

In March 2013 My parents started the divorce process. This was a terrible time in my life. My family fell apart.  

I went into overdrive and lost myself. I was getting up at 6am, going to the gym from 7am-8am. Being at my desk by 8:20am. Working until 7pm. Walking/running home then studying until 11pm and then doing it all again.

S1 Episode 16 - Multiple Streams of Income with Louisa Ashforth

Multiple Streams of Income with Louisa Ashforth

 

This week Laura interviews Louisa Ashforth, a Beauty Business Entrepreneur who has grown her business in a revolutionary way in her industry by thinking big and creating Multiple Streams of Income. In this episode, Laura asks how others can diversify in their niche and create assets that give income continually.

 

Lousia Ashforth - 

 

A beauty boss who got tired of the industry’s hype has taken on the big names, launched her own skincare brand and built up a celebrity following.

Louisa Ashforth is a therapist and Rotherham salon owner with 17 years of industry experience.

Her LA Skincare range is a multi-tasking skin toolkit beloved by a host of famous UK names.

Made in the UK using some of the most effective, results-driven ingredients in the beauty industry, the range contains just six products, which have sold in their thousands throughout the UK and Europe.

Louisa owns the formulas for each product, which cost from £20 to £45,  and claims they work for every skin type and condition, eradicating the need to buy a new cream or lotion when a skin issue crops up.

Louisa decided to create her own products four years ago, after seeing clients continually being bombarded by ‘miraculous’ new products in the media.

She also discovered her favourite high-end skincare brands contained parabens – widely used preservatives in cosmetic products which penetrate skin and can remain within tissue.

“I was decided to make safer, affordable products which could multi-task, and was determined to cut through the beauty industry hype which leads people to buy a new product each time their skin changes,” said Louisa, 38, owner of LA Hair and Beauty Salon on Worksop Road in Aston.

“Everyone’s skin condition varies from time to time, according to lifestyle choices and environment, hormones and health. If you chose products with the right active ingredients, they will work on almost all skin issues.”

Louisa researched ingredients herself and found an award-winning Kent-based pharmaceutical company specialising in natural products to create her range.

LA Skincare’s Super Six products are paraben-free, vegan, Fair Trade and are not tested on animals. Active ingredients – including potent beta and alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin E oil and aloe vera –  are widely recognised throughout the beauty industry for efficacy and safeness.

“The products focus on exfoliation and stimulating skin renewal. They combat dryness, oiliness, sensitivity, break-outs, acne, stressed skin, sun and environmental damage. You just adapt the way you use each product. It’s  skincare common-sense,” claimed the beauty entrepreneur who set up in business aged 22.

Her products are receiving glowing testimonials from acne-suffering teenagers to older customers wanting smoother, firmer skin, plus celebrities including TV presenter Jenny Powell, actresses Angela Griffin and Stephanie Davis, of Hollyoaks fame

Famous male fans are former X Factor singer Chris Maloney and Geordie Shore actor Nathan Henry, who uses LA Skincare’s Chocolate Delight Enzyme Peel.

West End stage actress and singer Kerry Ellis, who has worked with Queen’s Brian May, is the brand’s ambassador.

LA Skincare is sold at a beauty salon in Marbella, nine salons around the UK and at www.LASkincare.co.uk
