π Summary
Damien Cheesman shares his remarkable story, starting as a double-glazing salesman to fund university, only to ditch academia ππ« after realizing he could earn more without a degree. He built a successful construction company π§ with a turnover of Β£4β6 million π·, which he systemized to run independently π οΈπ, freeing him to pursue property investment π‘.
Inspired by Samuel Leedsβ Β£1 crash course π·π, Damien joined the Samuel Leeds Academy and learned creative property strategies 𧩠that prioritize cash flow π΅ and asset-building over traditional buy-and-flip models π.
His bold pitch to manage a single property on the Beaver Estate led to a game-changing deal π to oversee the entire estateβs holiday lets, doubling turnover π in just seven months. Alongside this, Damien manages a diverse portfolio of rent-to-rent properties and joint ventures ποΈπ€, working with 40 investors and a small team to scale his empire ποΈπ.
The conversation explores themes from Rich Dad Poor Dadβs Cashflow Quadrant ππ‘, the pitfalls of societal conditioning π§ π§±, and the importance of good debt vs. bad debt π³βοΈ, offering actionable insights for aspiring entrepreneurs πΌβ¨.
