Making Situations Work For You - with Gemma Sharples

This week, Ellie talks to property powerhouse, Gemma Sharples, an investor with a portfolio worth over eight millions pounds, as well as one of the country's leading trainers, mentors and coaches.

Gemma joins Ellie to discuss the value of overcoming obstacles, how gender discrimination can be overcome by a change of perception and focus, and why mindset is the true key to success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Coming from tough beginnings can seem insurmountable at the time. But all challenges are lessons. They serve to harden our resolve and provide solutions later.
While there is a perception that women are discriminated against in business, we make what we want of any given situation.
There is a perception that anyone with wealth should simply distribute to people without, but this is flawed. Wealth is accumulated through hard work. Even if money was removed from those who have it, they have the will and the skills to rebuild their fortunes.
Success is all a question of mindset. We cannot push hard and find success without developing the mental ability to do so. Those with the success mindset know that all challenges are opportunities.
