Episode description

On this week’s episode of the ‘Let’s Talk Money and more’ podcast, I have another great guest for listeners. The name Michaela Wain, will be familiar to many listeners, as she was a finalist on the BBC1 programme The Apprentice. 

Michaela is also a hugely successful entrepreneur, as MD of Design and Build UK, Director of Vantage Utility Connections, Director of Property Ninjas and the proud Founder of the Women in Construction Awards.

During our conversation together, Michaela and I we delve into her money story to understand what’s brought her to where she is today, her philosophy, goal setting strategies and a whole lot more. Enjoy tuning in.

Key Takeaways

As a woman, be in a position of complete understanding of your own value. It’s up to you to support that value and respect yourself enough to say “this is my worth.”

Every job that you do every single minute of your life, however you're choosing to live, it is worth something.

In influencing younger female generations, it’s important for them to hear the story and see positive and inspirational stories where women have gone into trades. Work with them to get to the end goal and show them how to get there instead of just forcing them into university, into debt, and into just an unknown world.

Show the art of the possible. See the evidence that other people have been able to do things that they did not think was available to them.

Motivate and encourage that you can ask for more, you can expect more, and you can go for more.

Set realistic goals. And when you reach that goal, set the bar a little bit higher. Always break it down, assess and reflect. Remember to put a structure to it to keep you on track.

Things develop over time, you don't have to go out and be a genius and reinvent something. So look for that evidence. It's really important that everybody has a role model from whatever background they're from so they can aspire to be something better. 

And it's key to being able to actually see other women out there doing the same things that you want to achieve. We can only be what we can see, visualise your goals.
