WealthTalk - money, wealth and personal finance.

Andy Labrum joined WealthBuilders in 2018 after a 30-year career in the Police force. Since joining, Andy has leveraged the equity in his home to purchase his first buy-to-let property and purchased an under-performing music studio which he has introduced new automated processes to help rejuvenate it and generate £1,000/month virtually hands-free.  However, Andy's big success has come by building a community which focuses on providing career guidance and support to current and ex-emergency service workers. As a result, he now has over 10,000 members and has been able to build a business with multiple income streams which has helped him to move from financial insecurity to financial security. Resources In This Episode:>> Andy Labrum [LinkedIn]>> Blue Light Leavers [Website] Next Steps On Your Wealth Building Journey:>> Join the WealthBuilders Community>> Join the WealthBuilders Academy>> REGISTER HERE FOR ACCESS TO FREE RESOURCES If you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!
