Getting it right is key when taking on a VA and Catherine has created a range of resources available in the VIVA club, where you can also find great VA’s who want to get started in your business making a difference now. KEY TAKEAWAYS Improve your business to-do list – know what are you currently doing, what do you should be doing, and what you want to do so you can prioritise. Categorise tasks as ‘do’- high value, ‘manage’ – can be done by someone else with management oversight and ‘leverage’ – low-value tasks that can be outsourced to others. Creating the job description and advert - Creating a detailed job description means your virtual assistant can get straight to work increasing your business productivity. You need to be really clear about the role you have and the skills needed. Systemising for applications – you need to systemise as much as possible. Using tools such as google suite and skype will create a system you can use easily – all available in the viva club. Creating job offer and contract – a starting VA working full time can cost as little as £150 a month. You can hire a VA for a particular project or for ongoing tasks within your business. Reaping the rewards ongoing support and management – reports are a vital part of managing VA’s you need to know what’s going on and can offer support if required. Virtual Assistants make our businesses work and we couldn’t do it without them.

From £50 to Thriving Ebay & Etsy Business - Interview with eCommerce Business Owner Emma Dee

Catherine revisits one of the most downloaded episodes from the last 2 years with guest Emma Dalton who created the freedom she wanted by moving from the corporate world and creating a successful eCommerce business. Emma discusses the turning point and what it actually takes to get started with no money and create the type of business you want. They discuss finding your passion and why all the knowledge and experience you have previously has value and can be transferred to new ventures. There are always numbers that you have to know and it’s vital that even as a small business you plan as if you are a big business so the right systems and processes are in place, making it easier to successfully grow. This is a great insight with lots of advice on how to get started in business and design the life you want. KEY TAKEAWAYS I didn’t have the money to set up a business but I did have an overriding belief that everything will work out if you work hard enough. The essential numbers are turnover and profit margin growth month on month. The fundamentals are - what profit am I making now and is it growing month on month? I started with around £50 and I focus on sourcing women’s unique fashion pieces through charity shops, online and car boot sales. If you want to get started, declutter your own wardrobe and treat it as a business. Use it as a learning opportunity to find out about the photography, whether you want to use the auctions or buy it now to sell and to gain experience of the whole selling process. My business moved to the next level when I took a conscious decision to review and put in place the right processes. I’ve leveraged my eBay business activity down to 3 days and increased my income by 3x through processes. Even if you are a small business plan as if you are a big business. if you have the right processes in place at the start it makes it much easier as you grow. Blocking time and being very structured about how I use my time has been the key to be able to use my time efficiently. The hardest part of business is saying ‘no’ As an entrepreneur you know you are on a journey and moving ahead but it’s not always possible to see the destination all the time. I’ve always wanted a flexible living life and I want to have integrity in what I do. Find the thing the brings you joy; design the life you want and be honest about what you want. BEST MOMENTS ‘Through effective leveraging when I have downtime for me it’s all for me’ I’ve become much more aware of my values since being self-employed. ‘You can just start and you don’t buy any new stock until what you have is sold so there is no new money involved’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast iTunes: www.bit.ly/itunesllpodcast Stitcher: www.bit.ly/stitcherllpodcast Leveraged Lifestyle Community: www.bit.ly/llocfbgroup VIVA Club: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/viva Life Leverage Online Masterclass: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/masterclass Join our VIP Investor List: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/vip Business SOS: www.business-sos.com Utility Warehouse: bit.ly/lluw Emma Dee Instagram Episodes to link back to: #030: The number you NEED! #020: Passion vs Passive Income ABOUT THE HOST Catherine Turner Catherine is the host of the iTunes No.1 business podcast Leveraged Lifestyle, she is an entrepreneur, businesswoman, Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Founder of Turner Invest and a mum of 2!

What You Love(Are Good at) Can be Paid For And What The World Needs!

Cast your mind back to Episode #033 of Leveraged Lifestyle; Catherine explains how finding your Ikigai is an important part of leveraging your lifestyle. Catherine has been reflecting on this episode and the content around IKIGAI! Specifically she wanted to preface it and revisit, to open a discussion with you the listeners (so make sure you get in touch and let Catherine know your thoughts and comments) KEY TAKEAWAYS Ikigai, the 4 concentric circles The first circle is what you love, the second circle is what the world needs, the third circle is what you can be paid for and the fourth circle what you are good at. Overlapping these are passion, mission, profession and vocation. In the centre of the circles is Ikigai. Ikigai The Japanese believe that everyone has an Ikigai and it is the reason we want to jump out of bed in the morning. There is no secret formula for finding happiness but there is one key ingredient the ability to reach a state of flow and through that state to have the optimal experience to find the Ikigai. Finding your flow Challenging tasks Completing tasks that are just out of your comfort zone. If tasks are too easy it can lead to apathy. if the task is too hard you may give up If it’s just challenging enough that’s where we find our flow. A clear objective Once the journey has begun its important to keep an overview of the objective but it’s key to focus on the flow. When you have a clearly defined objective and focus on the process that’s when you find your flow. Concentrate on a single task Be in a distraction-free environment. You will feel calmer and have better power of retention and you will be able to achieve flow. When we are multi-tasking productivity is less and we are more likely to make mistakes and feel stressed. Advantages of finding your flow Your mind will be focused on the current task. It enables you to live in the present feel in control. Your mind will become clear and able to deal better with challenges. Which activities in your life make you enter flow? What do these activities that drive you to flow have in common? Why do the activities drive you to flow? When you can answer these questions, you will be able to find your Ikigai BEST MOMENTS ‘The more you are in flow the closer you are to your Ikigai’ ‘Finding that mix of passion, mission, profession’ ‘More than just systems and processes, Its everything you want to create’ ‘Feel like there is nothing more important than the single task you have chosen to complete’ ‘Starting with a ritual and end with a reward’ ‘Tasks that stretch our skills’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Book: Ikiagi, The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life - Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ikigai-Japanese-secret-long-happy/dp/178633089X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549470866&sr=8-1&keywords=ikigai https://itunes.apple.com/…/leveraged-lifestyl…/id1380225106… Leveraged Lifestyle Community Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/551963318530196/ ABOUT THE HOSTCatherine Turner Catherine is the host of the iTunes No.1 business podcast Leveraged Lifestyle, she is an entrepreneur, businesswoman, Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Founder of Turner Invest and a mum of 2!

What is going to give you the lifestyle you want? Focus your energy on the area where you are going to get the best return on your investment Use others success as motivation, inspiration and to help you learn. Success leaves clues, look at the journeys other have taken to success what can you learn that will help you? We are all still growing and learning all the time. Persevere with what you are trying to achieve.

£6M Property Portfolio Before 30 + £2000 Gift Giveaway - 2nd anniversary special interview with Jackie Tomes

This episode marks the second year anniversary of the Leveraged Lifestyle podcast and Catherine has some great birthday giveaways for listeners along with one of the most popular guests from the previous 100 plus episodes – Jackie Tomes, Property Strategist. Jackie built a portfolio worth over 6 million in just over 6 years and achieved all of this before she reached her thirtieth birthday. Jackie has extensive knowledge and expertise in the property sector and shares some great advice on what makes a difference when you are starting out in property and how to move successfully through the levels of business. Jackie wants renting to be better than buying and with a value-driven company she is building new and better ways of doing things and inspiring others. KEY TAKEAWAYS We have built a business that we can remove ourselves from because our vision at the start was about being able to travel. We help others build great property businesses that are systemised and have the right processes in place. It’s about achieving a balance that works for you and if your business is set up in the right way you can be away from it. A leveraged lifestyle is about both mindset and skillset coming together successfully. You have to double up on work to be able to get to a point where you can work less. It’s important that you are able to work smart as well as working hard. How you set up working with your remote team and using technology effectively is key. When people start in property they often spread themselves across several different strategies but you should have a specific focus. Simplify and focus so that you are able to successfully go through the different stages of business as you grow. When you don’t have any money, you focus on getting money for yourself and that’s not the right approach when working with investors. It’s about asking what value can I give? What can I offer my client? BEST MOMENTS ‘The quality of our team who are all behind a shared vision is quite magical’ ‘It’s all about having a combination of processes, systems and brilliant people in the right roles for them’ ‘If you rent there is amazing flexibility’ “I’m on a path to try and live a life I love and am proud of’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast Apple: www.bit.ly/itunesllpodcast Stitcher: www.bit.ly/stitcherllpodcast Leveraged Lifestyle Community: www.bit.ly/llocfbgroup VIVA Club: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/viva Life Leverage Online Masterclass: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/masterclass Join our VIP Investor List: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/vip Business SOS: www.business-sos.com Utility Warehouse: bit.ly/lluw ABOUT THE GUEST Jackie Tomes, Founder of the Tomes Homes Group & Property Strategy www.property-strategy.com & www.tomeshomes.com Survive, Adapt & Thrive in property investment in 2020 - reset your investment strategy in response to the current market conditions. Jackie started Tomes Homes in 2013. It took 18 months of working two jobs to create the £16k deposit needed to buy the first investment property in 2014. Since then, Tomes Homes has worked with investment partners to flourish into a property investment group, owning & managing 60+ homes with a portfolio value of £6M+; supported by a team of nine, with family-values at the core.

5 Ways Clear Your Mind & Reset

Catherine reflects on how, as an entrepreneur, it can be easy to always be thinking about your business and your family but never yourself. She shares some practical advice that can be implemented to help anyone to take a pause and clear their head. Taking action for yourself can be a challenge but clearing your head and enjoying some time exclusively for you will ultimately help both you and your business to perform better. KEY TAKEAWAYS A leveraged lifestyle is about freedom of thought and being able to live the life you want to for you. Creating opportunities to pause, get out of your own head and enjoy being you is a crucial part of a leveraged lifestyle. Get outside, enjoy nature and be present in the moment. Get out and move, our bodies are made to move so any kind of movement is a positive whether its active or relaxation. Meditate to find your inner calm, it’s an opportunity to be still, stop being busy and clear your thoughts. Listen to music, create a playlist and enjoy your favourite songs to help you clear your head. Spend time with family and friends and fill up your levels well-being and positivity. BEST MOMENTS ‘Make it about being in the moment’ ‘Get out there and get moving’ ‘I’m often in my head thinking about business, family but never just about me’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast iTunes: www.bit.ly/itunesllpodcast Stitcher: www.bit.ly/stitcherllpodcast Leveraged Lifestyle Community: www.bit.ly/llocfbgroup VIVA Club: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/viva Life Leverage Online Masterclass: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/masterclass Join our VIP Investor List: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/vip Business SOS: www.business-sos.com Utility Warehouse: bit.ly/lluw ABOUT THE HOST Catherine Turner Catherine is the host of the iTunes No.1 business podcast Leveraged Lifestyle, she is an entrepreneur, businesswoman, Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Founder of Turner Invest and a mum of 2!

5 Ways to Achieve More - Get Results By Setting Hard Deadlines

Welcome back to Leveraged Lifestyle’s “Break without a break” where we look back at some of the most impactful episodes of the podcast from the very beginning! In this episode, Catherine takes you through the importance of setting deadlines and gives you five ways to help you set hard and fast deadlines so that you can really get done what you need to, whether that's in business, in your personal life or in work. Hop in to learn about this and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Five ways that you can set hard and fast deadlines. Number one is to get a version one out there right now. Don't over-think it. Don't just think I will do it by the end of the week or I’ll do it tomorrow, if you've got some content in you maybe it could be a Facebook Live, a podcast episode, maybe a blog that you've been thinking about for ages, get it written, get it recorded, get your camera out, get your phone out whatever it might be, and just do it right now. Number two is to book something as a reward for getting the thing done. Something really nice, like a holiday, maybe travelling for a few weeks, it could be getting yourself a new piece of equipment, a nice iPad or Mac or something like that, a new phone, something that might also help within the business. Number three is set a day and then get accountable make it public. Let people know that you've got something coming whether that's a new product for your online store whether that's getting your online store set up whether that's on Amazon or Shopify. Number four. How about rather than setting a pleasure award we set up something that's going to cause some pain. One of the ways one of my business mentors do this is when he's writing a book he will set a date and then pay for people to come in to proofread the final draft of the book. Number five is having something in place that can't be moved. Maybe an event date that's out there already booked the venue, maybe it's a book launch and you've got the launch date all set and it's all set up on Amazon. Maybe it's the launch of your products. BEST MOMENTS “There is no better time than now to get something out there.” “When you do something nice, reward yourself.” “Have something in place that cannot now be moved because you just put too much into it.” “There is no better time than now to start creating your leverage lifestyle.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast iTunes: www.bit.ly/itunesllpodcast Stitcher: www.bit.ly/stitcherllpodcast Leveraged Lifestyle Community: www.bit.ly/llocfbgroup VIVA Club: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/viva Life Leverage Online Masterclass: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/masterclass Join our VIP Investor List: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/vip Business SOS: www.business-sos.com Utility Warehouse: bit.ly/lluw ABOUT THE HOST Catherine Turner Catherine is the host of the iTunes No.1 business podcast Leveraged Lifestyle, she is an entrepreneur, businesswoman, Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Founder of Turner Invest and a mum of 2!

Play to your strengths and know when to bring in other people Start with the little things because it’s these that make the difference. Success is the thousand little things around you. Each manager in our business knew exactly what the systems were and every staff member only had one boss, one line manager. The system could be changed quickly if we came up with something better it was flexible enough to be constantly evolving. Business and life is about persevering and overcoming the challenges It’s a process of business that there are challenges and things have to be got through by finding successful solutions. You have to have people around you who you can help and can help you. the people you surround yourself with have to be those who can pull you up. When you are in a business and you want to grow it, you focus on it.

Business Wealth & Mindset - Catherine answers Alex Sapala's questions

This week Podcast Host Alex Sapala (Business Wealth & Mindset Podcast) asks Catherine all the questions! They discuss her entrepreneurial journey and why the right mindset and being solution-focused are key requirements for anyone in business. Catherine also discusses how to achieve a leveraged lifestyle and why it can make the difference and achieve the balance needed for freedom and success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Lots of people have ideas it’s knowing how you can turn those ideas into a business. People who stay in business and keep going as entrepreneurs are those who have a risk mentality There will always be questions and situations that are new to you so it’s important to have a strong network around you. Everyone will experience overwhelm and it is usually because you have said yes to something you shouldn’t have. It’s a very important part of an entrepreneurs mindset – the ability to look at any problem and immediately look at how it can be solved. Mentors and coaches are different, a mentor will have been on the journey themselves. A great mentor is someone who has overcome challenges themselves. Mentors can accelerate your progress and help you to be better, faster. If you can bring together something you love, your passion, with earning a living then you have created a leveraged lifestyle. A leveraged lifestyle is about working smarter doing the bits you love and creating the life you want for you and your family. If you want to get into business spend some time finding out what it will take. You have to be ready to put in the work and understand who you are and what your strengths are if you want to create a leveraged lifestyle. BEST MOMENTS ‘I’ve always been very solution-focused’ ‘I had all these ideas about creating new businesses I just needed to find a way to make it happen’ ‘Mental health is about understanding yourself and taking a holistic approach to your own well-being’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Business, Wealth and Mindset podcast series http://www.catherineaturner.com Email: media@turnerinvest.co.uk www.instagram.com/catherineannt www.facebook.com/catherineturnerspeaker www.linkedin.com/in/catherineturnerspeaker ABOUT THE GUEST Alex is a prize-winning chartered accountant with experience in financial markets from trading finance, capital hedging, structural foreign exchange and interest rates to operational risk from the world’s top financial and advisory institutions including Deloitte, RBS and JPMorgan Chase Alex has been involved in property development programmes across different types since 2008, building and managing a portfolio that includes standard buy-to-lets, student accommodation and other houses in multiple occupancy (HMOs).

Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast 100th Episode - Freedom, Creativity, Choice & Opportunity, Finding the Ultimate Leveraged Lifestyle

In this 100th celebration episode, Catherine is in the guest seat as she discusses her journey and the evolution of the podcast with Kelly Lemon. They discuss what having a leveraged lifestyle really is and how there is a shared view on achieving freedom, choice, flexibility and opportunities but how this looks and what it is will be different for every individual. People often think that leveraging is just about outsourcing but it is so much more and can be part of your lifestyle if you truly understand it’s about time, knowledge, experience and people and a mindset about achieving the control to live the life you want to, spending your time doing the things you want to do. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a leveraged lifestyle – the freedom and choice opportunities has been a consistent theme across the guests but how they implement and live the freedom and choice has been very different. For me, it’s about creating freedom and choice with an element of being able to create your own security and being in control of it. It starts in your life and how you are using your time. what are you doing with your time that you don’t want to do can you outsource it so that you can spend your time doing what you choose to. Leverage is about having the right systems in place to be effective Leveraging is about your time, knowledge and experience, money and people in your network and those around you. It’s about seeking out others who have more knowledge and can be leveraged to help you move forward. People can often get leveraging wrong when they are not realistic about what they really want to achieve and what someone else can do. Understanding the tasks that are slowing you down or those you don’t do well or like is the key to knowing what you want to leverage out to others. Communication is key so that others know what you want them to do and how to do it. You need to decide on what lifestyle you want to achieve and then decide how to get there. BEST MOMENTS ‘You have to give people future vision glasses so they can see what is important to leverage and what will make a difference to the business’ ‘We are there to make sure people are getting it right with their Virtual Assistant hires’ ‘We are always going to be striving to be better and do more but it’s important to realise perfect is what in front of us now’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast iTunes: www.bit.ly/itunesllpodcast Stitcher: www.bit.ly/stitcherllpodcast Leveraged Lifestyle Community: www.bit.ly/llocfbgroup VIVA Club: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/viva Life Leverage Online Masterclass: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/masterclass Join our VIP Investor List: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/vip Business SOS: www.business-sos.com Utility Warehouse: bit.ly/lluw ABOUT THE HOST Catherine Turner Catherine is the host of the iTunes No.1 business podcast Leveraged Lifestyle, she is an entrepreneur, businesswoman, Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Founder of Turner Invest and a mum of 2!

How to be Happy

Catherine shares and reflects on a post from entrepreneur Richard Branson. His ‘How to be happy - letter to a stranger’ is an emotional post about the importance of being and finding happiness. We can get caught up the race to move forward and achieve our goals but will this bring happiness? What’s really important is what you want to ‘be’ and appreciating the moment. If you can be bold and just ‘be’ for a moment, you will be able to put things into perspective and happiness will follow. KEY TAKEAWAYS Happiness is not something afforded to a special few it can be yours if you take the time to let it grow It’s ok to be stressed, scared and sad, life is made up of many elements. Wealth and success do not bring happiness. Happiness brings wealth and success, happiness is about being. Write a ‘to be’ list to find your happiness ‘doing’ will bring moments of joy but not necessarily happiness. Be healthy and around your family and friends. Be there for someone and let someone be there for you. If you allow yourself to be in the moment then happiness will follow. Allowing yourself just to be, puts things into perspective. Start being every day and appreciate the moment. BEST MOMENTS ‘Allowing yourself just to be, puts things into perspective’ ‘There is a reason we are called human beings, not human doings’ ‘Take the time to simply be and you will be happier’ VALUABLE RESOURCES :https://www.virgin.com/richard-branson/how-be-happy The Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast iTunes: www.bit.ly/itunesllpodcast Stitcher: www.bit.ly/stitcherllpodcast Leveraged Lifestyle Community: www.bit.ly/llocfbgroup VIVA Club: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/viva Life Leverage Online Masterclass: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/masterclass Join our VIP Investor List: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/vip Business SOS: www.busines-sos.com Utility Warehouse: bit.ly/lluw ABOUT THE HOST Catherine Turner Catherine is the host of the iTunes No.1 business podcast Leveraged Lifestyle, she is an entrepreneur, businesswoman, Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Founder of Turner Invest and a mum of 2!

How to Live The Life You Want?

Are you trying to keep up with those around you and looking to recreate the same lifestyle as those on the next level, perpetually chasing the next shiny penny? If this is you then Stop! this will not give you the life you want. The only way to live the life you want is to forge your own path because your leverage lifestyle should be yours and yours alone. In this episode, Catherine shares great advice on how to achieve and live the life you want, looking only to those who are truly inspirational for motivation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Are you choosing to do what others are doing not because you want to do it but because you are chasing the next new thing - that ‘shiny penny’? Your leverage lifestyle must be your own not anyone else’s Look to others for inspiration but remember your life is yours to live. You need to forge your own path and choose what you do, for you, not just follow others. Before you start something, talk to others, those who are close to you and those who can give an unbiased view about the things you want to do and achieve. List both what you want and what you don’t want to gain a clear understanding. Ask yourself what would you truly regret not doing? Step back from social media and review whether those you follow are truly inspirational. Truly inspirational people recognise we are all unique individuals who have differing needs, wants and goals. BEST MOMENTS ‘Are you living a life that someone else has chosen?’ ‘You only regret the things you haven’t done in life’ ‘Take the opportunity to review whether those you are looking towards are really an inspiration for you’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast iTunes: www.bit.ly/itunesllpodcast Stitcher: www.bit.ly/stitcherllpodcast Leveraged Lifestyle Community: www.bit.ly/llocfbgroup VIVA Club: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/viva Life Leverage Online Masterclass: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/masterclass Join our VIP Investor List: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/vip Business SOS: www.busines-sos.com Utility Warehouse: bit.ly/lluw ABOUT THE HOST Catherine Turner Catherine is the host of the iTunes No.1 business podcast Leveraged Lifestyle, she is an entrepreneur, businesswoman, Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Founder of Turner Invest and a mum of 2!

What Will be Your Snowball Skill?

Are you someone who could currently be learning a new skill that could snowball and impact positively in other areas of your life? Catherine explains how snowball skills can directly impact on your life even though the skill may not be obviously connected to the skills you already have or those you need for your work. This is a light bite episode that will help anyone reflect on, and be inspired to start learning a new skill because if the learning has an impact on your life either directly or non-directly then you are effectively leveraging. KEY TAKEAWAYS You could be part of the group of people who now have the time to work on a snowball skill that will help with your job moving forward or a side hustle you are planning. If learning a new skill has an impact on your life either directly or non-directly then you are effectively leveraging. Think about both the direct and indirect benefits Ask yourself - If I had more time what skill would I want to learn? If there is a skill or task that someone else can do but you love doing, then you should continue doing it because doing more of what you love is what creates a leveraged lifestyle overall. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you do it and love it that’s a benefit’ ‘Look at some of the skills you’ve been putting off learning’ ‘Find those pockets of time and keep building on the skills you have’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast iTunes: www.bit.ly/itunesllpodcast Stitcher: www.bit.ly/stitcherllpodcast Leveraged Lifestyle Community: www.bit.ly/llocfbgroup VIVA Club: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/viva Life Leverage Online Masterclass: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/masterclass Join our VIP Investor List: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/vip Business SOS: www.busines-sos.com Utility Warehouse: bit.ly/lluw ABOUT THE HOST Catherine Turner Catherine is the host of the iTunes No.1 business podcast Leveraged Lifestyle, she is an entrepreneur, businesswoman, Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Founder of Turner Invest and a mum of 2!
