Sonia Blackwood – London SE1 WIN Leader

I’ve worked for the NHS for over 15 years doing the 9-5 and had been looking forward to the time when I can hand in my badge and retire on my pension, but times have changed.  We are working longer and harder whilst the pension pot is getting smaller.  I decided a couple of years ago that I had to become self-dependent and self-reliant to be able to look after myself and my family.

After being introduced to the world of property investing a couple of years ago, I set myself some financial goals, started to invest in property and also looked at other streams of income.  I wanted to increase my cash flow, which would give me the option to make my own life choices, become time free and no longer be a slave to the alarm clock!

I will admit that it’s not been an easy journey but with the support, guidance and knowledge from an amazing network of like-minded people, I am feeling excited and looking forward to the future.

I decided to host WIN London SE1, as I believe that everyone should know that they have a choice. With a plan and good preparation, we can all jump off that hamster wheel and take that leap towards gaining financial independence.

If I can do it, so can you!
