Читать книгу 30 Properties Before 30 - Eddie Dilleen - Страница 7

As you'll already have gathered from my background, I'm not your typical property investor, and perhaps partly for this reason, over the years my story and strategies have been featured by multiple media outlets. Many people have reached out to tell me how my story inspired them. Because if I could do it with my initial disadvantages, they realised, then surely they could too. This feedback always makes my day! So after some consideration I decided to begin this book with a brief account of my own personal story.

My message here is simple: it's to never allow the personal challenges you start out with determine the trajectory of the rest of your life. Whatever your circumstances, your future is not set in stone. Only you have the power to create it.

If you have grown up around motivated people who work hard in a stable job and provide for their family, you are luckier than you might realise. But if not, it's never too late to break the cycle. Resisting societal expectations and peer pressures is not easy, nor is breaking poor cross-generational financial habits. Taking control of your life and educating yourself is the first step.

If you want to dive straight into the nitty-gritty of property investing, feel free to flick to Part II. If you'd like to learn a bit about my upbringing and the journey of acquiring my first ten properties (with all figures and details), then read on.
