    Bonus- Interview with Michelle Walker Smith

    Im so excited to share with you the Lovely Michelle Walker Smith! What an inspiration! Through all her hardships she is smashing it at life and helping others to do the same. I hope you enjoy our chat and that the books and insight help you in your personal and/or business life.

     

    A bit about Michelle:

    Michelle has always been a people person and believes that everyone can build
    businesses from scratch and take control of their happiness. At the age of 24, Michelle
    completed her business degree and secured a position as a Housing Assistant, where she
    helped and worked with people to ensure their houses became a home.
    Things then took a turn for the worse at the age of 35; Michelle suffered an undiagnosed
    burst appendix which resulted in peritonitis and septicemia, causing infertility and her
    almost dying. However, Michelle did not let this beat her and with sheer courage and
    determination has gone on to have 3 beautiful children, the eldest two through IVF and
    the third as a medical miracle!
    Fast forward to the age of 43, Michelle discovered the world of property and became an
    investor with her husband Peter. Shortly after starting a property portfolio, Michelle set
    up the award winning Aqua Lettings, which has an outstanding reputation in the North
    East, with both Landlords and tenants, for always going the extra mile.
    Michelle will always give back where ever possible and today is a successful Property
    Mentor, helping others who wish to get started in the property industry. Whether they
    wish to be Investors, Landlords, learn how to build a portfolio without any money, or
    explore lease / serviced accommodation options - Michelle is there to guide and advise.
    Most recently Michelle has become a best selling worldwide co-author with her first
    publication and is currently working on new material!
