More people than ever are rethinking the 9-to-5 grind, trading job security for the freedom and opportunity of property investing. Mariam Radi did exactly that. After leaving a promising career in corporate law, she built a multi-million-pound property portfolio and became an award-winning investor before the age of 30. Her story raises an important question: what does it really take to make that leap from employee to entrepreneur? And what separates the people who make it work from those who never get started? Watch the full episode here.
The courage to walk away from “secure”
Leaving a stable career isn’t easy, especially when you’ve spent years climbing the ladder. But for Mariam, success wasn’t just about titles or paychecks. It was about freedom, purpose, and building something that was truly hers.
That mindset shift, from security to possibility, is one of the hardest and most defining steps for anyone who wants to build a business or start investing.
What makes someone succeed in property?
It’s not luck or timing. From Mariam’s perspective, it’s a combination of self-awareness, resilience, and the willingness to keep learning even when things go wrong. The best investors think long term. They know how to manage risk, not avoid it.
And interestingly, Mariam believes that insecurity, the thing most people try to hide, can actually be an advantage. It keeps you humble, hungry, and open to growth.
Building a power team that actually works
One of the biggest challenges in property isn’t the property itself, it’s the people. Mariam shares how she learned to build a team she could trust, from contractors to mentors to investors. The right people don’t just help you make deals happen; they help you keep going when everything feels uncertain.
A reminder that growth starts with discomfort
Mariam’s journey is proof that success isn’t about having it all figured out before you start. It’s about having the courage to start anyway, to take that first step, even when you’re scared.
If you’ve ever thought about leaving your job to pursue property investing or building your own business, this conversation will give you a real look at what it takes, and what’s waiting on the other side.
