The more I sit down with experienced business owners who’ve successfully exited, the clearer one thing becomes: Fail faster.It’s a phrase that keeps cropping up, and the deeper I dive, the more sense it makes.In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Rachel — who started her journey in lettings at just 16. With the right network, strong mentors, and a ton of graft, she went on to build and successfully exit her own lettings and estate agency. What she shared wasn’t just about bricks and mortar — it was about real business growth, the value of time, and truly understanding what your company is worth.This one goes deeper than expected — not just a surface chat about deals, but a genuine insight into the patterns that successful entrepreneurs keep repeating. Whether you're in property or any other business, one truth stands firm:👉 The work comes first, and the passive income follows.There’s no shortcut. No magic button. Just time in the market, experience, and relationships that help you navigate the long game.Big thanks to Rachel for her honesty and openness — and for reminding me how grateful I am for what we’re building, the people we’re building it with, and the lessons we pick up along the way.Plenty of gold in this one.Take what you need – and enjoy the listen.Until next week,Best regards,Gav | 83 Property
