In this episode of ‘We Built This Business’ we talk with Andrew McGee from AME Property and Investments.
From humble beginnings and a £3-an-hour apprenticeship, Andrew McGee has built an entrepreneurial empire spanning fitness, education, and property.
In this episode, Andrew shares his remarkable journey from launching a gym with just a credit card and a dream, to building a property portfolio worth over £2 million.
With deep insights into personal growth, opportunity vehicles, and the importance of systems, this is a must-listen for aspiring entrepreneurs looking for real talk on the highs and lows of building a business from scratch.
HIGHLIGHTS
· How Andrew launched a gym in 2013 with limited funds and no prior experience

· How Andrew pivoted into property and built a £2M+ portfolio by age 34
· Why he focuses on “opportunity vehicles” and scaling businesses that outgrow him
· The importance of hiring for your weaknesses and focusing on high-value tasks
