In this edition of the Living The Retirement Lifestyle Podcast we interview Fazal Ullah as he shares how a chance meeting in 2007 changed his life. It's especially poignant as that meeting was with us and we finally got to catch up with him and ask him to share his story and what happened next... https://vimeo.com/810092844 It's not an unusual story as you've heard (many people we speak to what to quit the 9-5) but what was different is that Faz was so fed up with the 9-5 rat race and not seeing his kids growing up he made it happen. His family was the thing that provided him with his REASON WHY to make the change. A change that has led him to a better life and creating a way to help others who want a better life too just as we have done. Just imagine as he said if the stars had not aligned on that day - 5 seconds either way and life would have been a very different story BELIEF We asked him next about belief "So you must have had a heck of a lot of belief in yourself, a lot of self-belief to go to that exhibition, learn some things, and then on the Monday morning give up your regular income effectively" We asked him how he could do that and he said it was having a huge belief what he was doing and a huge REASON WHY as we've said earlier. To build a future for his family, to create a legacy and to create passive income. MINDSET Next we asked Faz about mindset and how he approached all of this because this is a big breakaway from what he was familiar with. Here's what he said: CHALLENGES, CONNECTIONS & NETWORKING If you have ever had any doubt about the power of challenges, networking and making connections we hope that Faz's story of how he overcame his challenges, the people he met and those who helped him reach his goals will give you the encouragement you need to face your fears and step over the line. Today Faz has authored books on property, has his own company and mentorship program designed for people looking to do what he's done and all because of a chance meeting he could have missed by 5 seconds! We asked him for his final words of encouragement and were not surprised to hear him say "Whatever the mind can conceive, it can achieve" And the image from his Facebook just says it all! Faz is a truly humble man and shows much gratitude for the opportunities hard work and connections has given him. We wish him much future success in the world of property. We chose our own favourite from his social media “Today is your opportunity to build the tomorrow you actually want.” It’s a journey worth taking and a goal worth fighting for. We only live once, and if you’re up for it. Let’s see what you’re capable of in the business world. Design your ideal life..."
