In this second part of the Six-Figure Exit, Sophie shares part two of how she started, scaled and sold her property businesses.

This episode focuses on Sophie’s second business: a property management company built around rent-to-rent house shares. Sophie explains how she went from feeling undervalued and underpaid in employment to building a business with 40 properties, a team, strong systems and a successful sale.

You’ll hear practical lessons on market research, business planning, forecasting, cash flow, hiring, outsourcing, SOPs, preparing a business for sale and negotiating a deal that works for both sides.

If you’re building a business and want it to work without you one day, this episode will help you think differently about scale, systems and creating a sellable asset.

What do you do when the business you built looks successful from the outside… but no longer feels right on the inside?

In this episode of the Happy Investor podcast, Sophie is joined by Vicky Harrison to talk about identity, alignment, closing a business, creating freedom, and what it really means to build a life-first business. Vicky shares her journey from corporate HR into self-employment, building a successful personal branding business, then making the brave decision to close it when it no longer felt aligned. She also opens up about her wellness journey, losing 40 kilos, and why community, leverage and personal growth have shaped this next chapter of business for her.

If your business is taking all your time and energy, this conversation will help you step back and ask a better question: is the business you’re building actually creating the life you want? They also explore the difference between self-employment and true leverage, how to think about life goals before business goals, and why celebrating progress matters just as much as chasing milestones.

• How storytelling helps people trust and remember you
• What PR can look like for normal small business owners
