009: Toyin and Tobi Ayandare
Welcome to the Trailblazer Podcast, This Week. We have Toyin and Tobi Ayandare. Two incredible individuals, who have indeed… Blazed their own trail.
Two previous highly paid consultants in their respective fields,
Toyin and Tobi made the leap into property about 10 years ago, and began seriously investing in property 6 years ago, they now make multi million pound commercial deals, and run a large, successful SA business.
The main decision makers for their jump into property full time, were their 2 beautiful children now ages 5 and 8, the lack of ‘ job security ‘ , and a desire for a different life.
Toyin:
Toyin enjoyed her time at school, although she has always had the entrepreneur ‘ bug ‘.
Her first business was actually buying snacks at the school gate, and brought them into school and sold them to her friends at twice the price that she paid for them. She was 7!
Her initial plans were to be a doctor and then, an accountant, when neither of these chosen career paths worked out for her, she went to university and gained a masters in sociology, and another in business.
Tobi:
Tobi also did well at school, receiving good grades. His goals were to gain employment, and work his way up, as opposed to entrepreneurship. Toyin had some work convincing him into the entrepreneurial world, they are both now so glad they had the courage to make the jump.
Listen now to learn:
- Why job security isn’t a real promise
- How property can change home and business life
- How to focus on the more important aspects of life
