P.s. One of Samara's beautiful children, is only 18 years old and already doing magical work like her wonderful mum, helping people with her incredible wisdom of laws of universe and her attitude and hunger for life. Her name is Summer, she is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever came across (just like her mum), and I was very lucky to interview her also on my podcast. Check out episode 38 :)
It was such a pleasure and honour to interview this incredible 18 years old girl, who is so beautiful inside and out and HUGE inspiration to all of us. EVERYONE can learn from Summer. Summer's introduction : I am an 18yr old spiritual being, I am homeschooled and find life to be the biggest teacher of all… each day I am in awe and humbled by the human experience. I have an absolute fascination with spirituality and the souls evolution. Becoming home schooled was a terrifying decision, leaving the normal way of learning, through the possibility of failure was an amazing opportunity to really make it work. having had such a negative experience in school, being homeschooled went on to be the greatest decision i ever made; it has allowed me to give energy to the things that are important to my life and learn outside of a set curriculum. I deeply believe we all have gift and the ability to serve the earth with it. I love self- development and enhancing my life, recognising that I am the absolute creator of my reality; self mastery is the goal always: understanding that I an am imperfect being of unconditional love. I am learning to love the journey along the way and trusting I will end up somewhere right and beautiful. My podcast is the place i share lessons i have learnt during my time earth side in hopes of helping others… so they dont haven’t to go through the trenches to learn the same wisdom. i speak on different elements of self- love, the importance of discipline, applying universal laws into our lives, not allowing our emotions to become our master, recognise what a gift it is to be alive etc. You can find Summer On Instagram: Summer Kang or Quintessentially.podcast
Creating wealth through property is definitely not a walk in the park. You deal with the issues of each property whilst also dealing a lot with different kinds of people to achieve a win-win situation for everyone involved. In our previous episodes of ‘How Did You’ and ‘The Endless Mindset’ podcast series, we learnt about how the power of our mindset can help us succeed with our goals. But how about keeping our sanity amidst all the pressure?
That’s why I’m so excited to have Mark Dunn to talk about dealing with personal difficulties in the property world and in general as well. He’s been a property investor and developer with over 20 years of experience, and as an esteemed sales and letting agent for properties in beautiful Devon, he is very knowledgeable about the ever changing property laws and regulations.
Mark is also my wonderful landlord who owns my latest R2SA properties for holiday let in Teignmouth. I’m very fortunate to be working with him and so delighted that he has become a very good friend of mine. He’s also a very talented theatre actor and director, and also a truly ‘zen’ man who is also vegan and a yoga enthusiast.
So tune in, be inspired and find your zen in this episode of The Endless Mindset so you’ll be ready to face whatever comes in your way. Enjoy the show!
