This lady is an absolute powerhouse!
Not only has she built a multimillion-pound property portfolio from scratch, she is also an esteemed public speaker, World Record holder and a hugely successful business coach and trainer, all of which she has built up whilst raising a young family.
Unsatisfied with her corporate life as HR Manager, Toni knew deep down that she was capable of more. In the early days there were lots of sacrifices, it hasn’t all been plain sailing but listening to the impact that she is having on her children’s mindset is nothing short of inspirational. That is true success!
I thoroughly enjoyed recording this interview, much like myself, Toni is a straight-talking northern lass with no time for BS. Her values shine through in everything that she says and I hope that you all enjoy it as much as I did.

When Mark entered the Apprentice in 2014, he was there for one reason and one reason only... to win!
His relentless commitment to success ensured that he won the £250k investment and, more importantly, became business partners with Lord Sugar himself. That’s when the real work began!
People say they are willing to do whatever it takes but very few are willing to walk the walk. Starting in business was a baptism of fire for Mark, because of his exposure to the limelight he had a target on his back from the start and it’s fair to say he had more challenges in his first year than most of us experience in a lifetime.
He has gone on to create multiple 7 figure businesses and still works closely with Lord Sugar where so many before him have failed. Anyone who knows Mark will testify that his trajectory is only going in one direction, his passion is second to none.
If you’re easily offended you might want to give this one a wide berth but if you want to know what it REALLY takes to succeed without the BS then this episode is unmissable!
Enjoy.

The MASTER of reinvention.
From inheriting a struggling chain of jewellery stores, Gerald Ratner turned the family business into a prominent £1BM global jewellery empire within less than a decade before it all came crashing down.
From the dizzy heights of success, Gerald went on to become the poster boy for FAILURE all because of an ill-fated joke and what can only be described as a media witch hunt after his infamous speech at the Royal Albert Hall.
His story is powerful. What happened to Gerald could happen to any of us HOWEVER a situation only has the meaning that we choose to attach to it and hearing how he has overcome adversity and turned his pain into power is truly inspirational.

In this week’s episode of the On A Mission podcast we are joined by “The Utter Nutter” World Record holder Steven Green.
Despite being a property millionaire, trainer and public speaker, Steven is perhaps best known for his extreme personality. Over the last few years, he has put his infamous bulletproof mindset to the test. From sleeping rough and taking heroin on the streets of Leeds to completing a double Iron Man with no sleep with only 16 weeks training, it’s safe to say there are no half measures with Steven.
In his usual straight-talking style he wasn’t scared to voice his opinions and unleash some controversy but I think you’ll agree it makes for a fantastic interview.

Another fantastic episode where Ellie is joined by special guest Steven Green.
From starring down a loaded barrel in his early 20s, Steven went on to become a successful property multi-millionaire and coach.
Ellie delves deep into how Steven has cultivated his bulletproof mindset and he is passionate to help other people do the same. Steven has recently filmed a documentary ‘The Homeless Millionaire’ where he lived on the streets for 7 days with no aid. He even went as far as taking heroin.
Steven and his family have recently starred in channel 5s ‘Rich house, poor house’ where we all got a fascinated insight into his life.
This interview is not to be missed. Ellie has some hard-hitting questions ranging from taking heroin right through to orgasms, yes you heard right!!

Wow, what an episode!
This week I am so excited to chat with the fabulous “Mr Unstoppable” Paul Mort. Now he is renowned for being a straight-talking, high performing leader of businessmen but that wasn’t always the case. Formerly suicidal, from the outside Paul had a life that most people aspire to. A beautiful family, a successful business, living in a huge villa in the sun but appearances can be deceptive.
Knee deep in drugs, booze and , Paul found himself in a very dark place. Diagnosed Bi-Polar and stood on the edge of a cliff, he was ready to end it all...
At that moment Paul knew he had to fight back against his demons, things had to change. He started to get histogether and through doing that he realised that his life’s purpose was to help others do the same.
His books, courses, videos and content has literally reached the lives of millions of people to reclaim their power and take control without any of the BS.
It’s an absolute belter of an episode, enjoy!
