Prioritizing Learning over Earning with Khadija Kalifa

My guest today is Khadija Kalifa, who is best known for being a finalist on Lord Sugar’s reality TV show The Apprentice in 2018. After that life-changing experience, she became a serial entrepreneur, blogger, motivational speaker, business mentor and consultant. Setting up an award-winning brand ‘Keeping it real with Khadija’, she has helped over 30 businesses to scale with consultancy and mentorship support, trained entrepreneurs in marketing and podcasting and was voted a top 10 motivational speaker in 2019. And all these achievements whilst being a devoted mother to three little girls, with the youngest being only a couple of months old. We recorded this interview with Khadija in the midst of the first lockdown and with Khadija being pregnant with her third daughter, so we did it over Zoom. And since then, Khadija has opened a soft play café Full of Beans Bourne just outside of Peterborough where she lives. On this episode we peek behind the closed doors of Khadija’s home life, her relationships with her close ones, her wins and also the challenges that she has faced and is still dealing with.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  I like to choose my own things and follow the Kardashians style with quirky architectural pieces. My routine is built around my children and school. I could leverage the school run but I feel more connected and more hands-on as a mum if I do it. Being a part of the ‘The Apprentice’ gave me lots of confidence in myself and my ability in business. Since launching ‘Keep It Real with Khadija’ I’ve generated over a hundred thousand in revenue through mentoring and consulting. I’m just a normal person but being on the program has given me credibility and opened a lot of doors for me. My mindset is about understanding that everyone has problems but it’s about getting on with it and moving forward with an open mind. Having to grow up quickly means I’m achieving more now than some other people do in a lifetime. I’m open about everything that happened to me because I want others to understand that if they are going through something similar, it’s normal. I have learnt that you can channel anxiety and any worries in a constructive way.    BEST MOMENTS ‘The Apprentice experience and being away from my family was very intense’ ‘What keeps me at peace is staying busy’ ‘Being a part of the ‘The Apprentice’ gave me lots of confidence in myself’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Beehive Household podcast   ABOUT THE HOST Nataliya Lloyd is a finance expert and after 15 years of studying and working in the industry, she changed tack and went with her dream of becoming an entrepreneur and followed her creative call.  She is now the owner of Nataliya Lloyd Interiors, with an Interior Design certification from the Chelsea College of Arts. Nataliya is also the Finance Director and a supporter of the charity Professors Without Borders, which specialises in providing university-level short education courses in developing countries. She is a member of a pre-eminent members’ club for women in business - The Sorority. But most importantly, she is a wife, daughter and a mother.

Khadija Kalifa - BBC's Apprentice Star; T.V. and Credibility; Coping with Anxiety

Pete talks to BBC’s The Apprentice finalist, Khadija Kalifa, who has, since leaving the show in 2018, gone on to become one of the nation’s most sought-after business coaches, due to her no-nonsense approach and wealth of experience. Khadija talks about the importance of self-development, the axiom that causes her to seize each day, the importance of optimism, and her empowering definition of what it means to have “fire in the belly”. KEY TAKEAWAYS  For Khadija, the want and need for more to life, is the fuel that keeps her growing and moving on. All good entrepreneurs have an unquenchable desire to keep succeeding.     You only have one life. If you are presented with opportunities, then you need to try to make the best of them. Count your blessings and realise that you’re not here forever. Seize the day.     Success in her youth had a converse effect on Khadija. Even though she worked hard and achieved much, she was often looked down upon because of her age. it’s a common, and somewhat unfortunate occurrence.      People often mistake optimism with naivety. But the ability to see past the negative, to look for the positive in all things, is a rare and valuable asset.     Having fire in your belly and doing nothing with it is futile. You need to get up, get out there, and let that fire burn bright. Khadija used her energy to hustle, and to make her mark on the world.     Children made Khadija realise that there are definitely things to feel blessed about. It has given her a different perspective on materialism, frustration, and life in general.     Money means stability for Khadija and her family. Money is equal to the security and happiness of those closest to her. This is the reason that drives her forward.     Following The Apprentice, Khadija was given the opportunity to evaluate her life and her business. The opportunities that came her way in the wake of her appearance allowed her to see that her cleaning business was not her destiny.     Personal relationships are an incredibly important part of business, as they are a vital component in your happiness, and subsequent desire to achieve.     Khadija has had to face monstrous egos and an incredible level of chauvinism during her journey. The key is to stay humble, and to use that negative force as a means to drive yourself harder.     Procrastination prevents things from getting done. It’s far more expedient to get things done as soon as possible. Ask questions. Take action. Stop making excuses.     Enjoy the journey. We must make sure that we stop to enjoy the life we’re living. It’s good for not just ourselves, but the ones we love.  BEST MOMENTS  ‘A bit of meat to the bone (even though I’m a pescatarian…)’  ‘I’m working hard because I like to play hard’  ‘I think I thought I knew everything’  ’Nothing you can do will ever stop me from living my best life’  ‘I feel like this wasn’t the life I was destined to be in’  ’There’s surviving and then there’s thriving’  ’Stay humble’  ‘I want to make shit happen’  ’There’s so much to be grateful for in life'   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.keepitrealwithkhadija.com Keep It Real With Khadija Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/keep-it-real-with-khadija/playlists/podcast ABOUT THE HOSTThe ‘Mighty Pete Lonton’ from the ‘Mighty 247’ company is your main host of ‘Fire In The Belly’.  Pete is an Entrepreneur, Mentor, Coach, Property Investor and father of 3 beautiful girls. Pete’s background is in Project Management and Property, but his true passion is the ‘Fire In The Belly’ project itself. His mission is to help others find their potential and become the mightiest version of themselves. Pete openly talks about losing both of his parents, suffering periods of depression, business downturn and burn-out, and ultimately his years spent not stoking ‘Fire In the Belly’. In 2017, at 37 years of age that changed and he is now on a journey of learning, growing, accepting and inspiring others. Pete has the ability to connect with people and intuitively asks questions to reveal a person’s passion and discover how to live their mightiest life. The true power of ‘Fire In the Belly’ is the Q&amp;As - Questions and Actions! The ‘Fire In The Belly’ brand and programme is rapidly expanding into podcasts, seminars, talks, business workshops, development course and rapid results mentoring.

E5: The Want And Need For More In Life – with Khadija Kalifa

Register your interest in Serviced Accommodation Discovery Day here, and a member of our team will get back to you to confirm your place at your preferred date.     ‘Cleaners are one of the most important parts in our business, they are our eyes and ears as the people who are first into a property when guests leave’  In this hybrid episode, Khadija is interviewing Kevin about SA... And Kevin is interviewing Khadija about her cleaning business! They discuss what’s important when you are starting out in Serviced Accommodation and the important role cleaning staff play in the operation of any Serviced Accommodation Business.  This is a great podcast which offers an opportunity to see things from more than one perspective, listen in and enjoy.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  What if you are thinking of getting into SA?  A lot of people do SA in the wrong way taking on extensive risk through the acquisition of a SA property, which is a challenge when further down the line they decide SA is not for them.  People should get trained in SA before they get into SA because there are a lot of moving parts to consider.  The DEALS model is an effective pathway for serviced accommodation  D – due diligence  E - explore  A – acquisition a SA  L – logistics  S – Scrutinise  People invest huge amounts of their money without understanding what they are doing  You need to get some training and a mentor. Learn from a mentor’s mistakes rather than making those mistakes yourself.  Rent to SA is a great way of getting into serviced accommodation it is a model that requires much less investment.  Working with cleaning companies as a SA provider  Whatever you think you will need the cleaning company to do should be discussed in detail   I have a fixed rate I don’t want to pay differing amounts based on the level of untidiness  I prefer not to negotiate so working with a cleaning company who have experience of SA is helpful because they are able to establish an average time for a clean and know what working in the SA sector entails.  Our cleaners are one of the most important parts in our business, they are our eyes and ears as the people who are first into a property when guests leave.  If you are constantly giving your cleaning company a problem you are not going to keep them.  You need to pick a good cleaning company and then work well with that company   BEST MOMENTS   ‘The worst thing that can happen with rent to SA is that you give it back’  ‘Build up your passive income when you are still in a job then you can live the life you want to live as an entrepreneur’  ‘I spent 24 years in the army as an entrepreneur, if you have an entrepreneurial spirit you have to find a way to be an entrepreneur’  ‘I’m fully aware that sometimes guests leave a property looking nice and sometimes it’s like a war zone’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Keeping it Real with Khadija Podcast   The Serviced Accommodation Property Podcast  https://propertysoldier.co.uk/   ABOUT THE HOST   Your host Kevin Poneskis enjoys public speaking, travelling, exercising and keeping fit.

Clean up Your S.A. With Khadija Kalifa

One of the best ways to consume content nowadays is through podcasts. Not only does it save time, but it also helps you grasp ideas easier since you hear the emotions in the conversations.  In this collaborative episode, Catherine is joined by the Keep It Real with Khadija Podcast host, who is none other than Khadija, to talk about the world of podcasting – from pre-planning to producing to publishing. They talk about how to scout guests, how to select the best VA, why people choose podcasts over radio, how to make a business thrive, and many more. There is also some unwritten podcasting etiquettes between podcasters which you might need to know. Then after the insightful discussion, Catherine plays Khadija’s Yes or No game at the end so listen in!  KEY TAKEAWAYS   As podcasters, where do Khadija and Catherine get their awesome guests?     Khadija, for one, used the VIVA Club (link below) to find the most reliable virtual assistant she will work with. Guests are then selected by them, the hosts, for the VA’s to contact them.   For Catherine, it also helps that she connects to most of the guests through social media platforms to get a chance to engage with them and tell them how your podcast can help them show how relevant they are.    Stay in touch with your guests (and other podcasters who also invited the guest). Plan out when the content (i.e. audio/video) will be published and make sure it won’t cross with the launch of his other podcast guesting’s. You don’t want to anger other podcasters while getting the maximum engagement for your episode as much as possible. In addition, your guests might also know someone who can also offer a fresh perspective related to your podcast.  Why do people prefer podcasts over radio nowadays? People love authenticity, the smooth informal flow of conversations. It’s easier to trust people who can be themselves easily.    You can’t too much pressure on yourself in growing your business. For most, the first business they’ve manage was more of a big business course—learning what to do and not to do, correcting mistakes, and so on.   BEST MOMENTS   “When you want to be successful, time is of the essence.”  “Podcasting is a natural fit for collaborations.”  “Everyone knows someone who knows one.”    “You can’t copyright knowledge.”  “Having a leveraged lifestyle for me is doing minimal work while having maximum money.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES   https://www.keepitrealwithkhadija.com/  Leveraged Lifestyle Facebook Community - bit.ly/llocfbgroup   The Very Important Virtual Assistant (VIVA) Club Facebook Group - VIVA Club  https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk  I'm Worth More: Realize Your Value.

Keeping it Real; LIVE With Khadija Kalifa

Kevin joins forces with Business &amp; Lifestyle Coach, Mumpreneur &amp; BBC Apprentice Finalist, Khadija Kalifa to discuss their journeys to success. Kevin and Khadija dive into their humble beginnings and share learnings from how they got started in business and in property. Learn key lessons on how to start, grow and scale your property business and why starting out with nothing and getting creative and lead to huge opportunity.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   You need to just get out there and immerse yourself in the property world. Make sure you attend events, read books and listen to podcasts in order to educate yourself. Starting out in property is just like starting out a new job, you need to listen, learn and watch what’s going on and follow those that have done it before you. Most importantly, you need to get out there and meet people, find joint venture partners and opportunities for property investing.    Don’t listen to BREXIT no one knows what’s going to happen there is a lot of uncertainty, but one thing is certain, people are always going to need properties and houses to live in. The population of the UK is growing every year and each year we do not have enough housing accommodation.    In order to be successful, you need to surround yourself with mentors, coaches, peers and like-minded people. Fill your room with a power team of people that can help push you forward. Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you. You can’t learn everything so leverage others knowledge and expertise.   Lots of investors are selling properties due section 24 and new taxations on mortgages why? Because investors own properties in their own names. This provides you with an opportunity to purchase properties at a lower value as part of a limited company.      BEST MOMENTS Kevin “I got lucky that I lost so much money it became physically impossible to just get a job and get out of debt” Kevin  “I learnt No Money Down property strategies because I had no money, I had to get creative” Kevin  “Comfort is more dangerous than debt” Khadija “My business is called Opal &amp; Pearl after mine and my daughter’s birthstones” Khadija “It took me 3 years to reach 35 employees” Khadija  “It’s better to get a project done than to wait for it to be perfect” Khadija I started a cleaning business without knowing anything about cleaning, I just Googled it” Kevin “While others are fearful you need to be greedy”  VALUABLE RESOURCES  https://www.amazon.co.uk/No-Money-Down-Property-Investing/dp/1909846767  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8TZdualhcw  https://robmoore.com/    ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor &amp; Professional Property Investor.

Ep.113 - "The Apprentice", Entrepreneurship & Life with Khadija Kalifa

In this very special episode, the conversation is flipped the other way around! David finds himself being interviewed about deal packaging and property by none other than Khadija Kalifa, one of the most successful contestants on BBC’s The Apprentice, and a valued member of the Progressive Property team, who met with David to dig into his more personal side, but also to discuss his journey, his take on success, and what deal packaging can do for you…     KEY TAKEAWAYS    The average fee for any deal packager in the UK is £5,200. Lining up a few of these deals in a row can net you a superb income.     Deal packagers need to work using lots of different strategies, such as buy-to-lets, HMOs etc. But the more you work at it, the bigger your network grows, and the more successful your company will be.     You can increase your yields by layering on your knowledge, your different strategies. By using HMO or SA strategies on your investments, you can raise your yield percentage, which is always attractive to investors, who can earn way more from being a part of your strategy than from traditional savings interest rates.     If you’re going to be a property person, you need to make firm alliances with people you can trust, and who can make your business tick along reliably. There’s no substitute for a power team.     You need to enjoy your journey, whatever that may be. David always applies humour to his public speaking, but also looks on the brighter side in every part of his life. If people like you, it won’t only help you in business, but also in life.     One of the most valuable lessons that David has learned is that it’s okay to think about business in a more collaborative way. For most of his business life, it was ingrained into him that you do not share anything that will benefit your competitors. But upon joining Progressive Property, David has learned about the value in networking, sharing and becoming part of a team that works tirelessly to help each other.     Khadija and David both believe firmly that life should be lived to its full extent. It’s not enough to settle. Staying hungry and always planning for the next challenge opens up a world of possibilities in life, whether that is travel, security or being able to give your family the best version of life. But it takes work. You need to be prepared to put in the hours.    BEST MOMENTS  ‘I might be 64 but inside I’m 24!’  ‘Deal packaging is the fastest way on the planet to get money into your property business’  ‘Property is a joy’  ‘All my material needs are covered by property’  ‘You’re exactly the way you are at home, but bigger’  ‘I’ve made more friends here over the past three years than I’ve made in the last thirty’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Sourcing Profits PodcastKhadija Kalifa – InstagramKhadija Kalifa – Twitter   ABOUT THE HOST   David is a property expert with over 25 years’ experience and his own portfolio of 26 units. His current rent roll is in excess of £10k per month. He is also a partner in a Deal Sourcing and Packaging business in the North West of England and has sourced over 250 properties for investors since 2004. In recent years he has, by necessity, had to develop an expertise in LHA strategies.  This area is increasingly becoming a niche for him, and he enjoys empowering other landlords by sharing the knowledge he has gained. The ultimate purpose when sourcing properties in this sector for investors is to minimise risk while maximising profit. He has had to find answers to the challenges of Tenant Find, Management, ensuring rents are paid and the transition to Universal Credit.  These are strategies he uses in his own business and also on behalf of investors. His investor clients regularly achieve annual gross yields of over 20% with high occupancy rates and voids resolved, sometimes within hours.

In Conversation With Khadija Kalifa

Keeping It Real With Khadija! As part of the entrepreneurial series, Nick is in conversation with  Khadija Kalifa  entrepreneur and former contestant on ‘The Apprentice’  They discuss the journey Khadija has been on, what it is really like to be an entrepreneur and finding what you love then making it your vision.   Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS   My cleaning business was circumstantial, a necessity due to factors in my life at the time.    From an early age, I knew that if I wanted something I had to work hard for it.  I have a belief system, a mindset that drives me to be successful. It is important to me and I see it as my responsibility to make sure everybody in my family is looked after.  Some people like to have a life of certainty, everything is more or less what you expect it to be until it’s not. Those are the people who try to keep it as level as possible but that’s not realistic.  As an entrepreneur, there are always ups and downs but you have to take control of your future.  We all have the same needs but require the balance between those needs to be different according to our individual characters.    The psychology is important, you need to understand who you are and who you need around you to move your business forward successfully.  You cannot do it on your own you need others around you to take on the other necessary roles within the business.  Since being on ‘The Apprentice I have utilised opportunities for public speaking, networking and podcasts.  It was like a business boot camp.

Entrepreneur in Focus - Khadija Kalifa (The Apprentice)

Welcome back to the Presenting, Pitching &amp; Public Speaking Podcast. In this episode, Toni speaks with BBC 2018 Apprentice star and self-made Mumpreneur Khadija Kalifa. Their conversation takes a look at how Khadija has used presenting, pitching and public speaking in her career, from running a family business to being a superstar on the 2018 series of the Apprentice. Key Takeaways What Made You Apply To The Apprentice? I watched it for years and thought I can do better. I love business, love sales, and meeting people. I didn’t think I would get on but being in the final six is amazing. I applied the year before but missed the email, so getting this far this season is a great feeling. Do You Care About What Other People Say About You? I don’t care about what other people say about me if they are going to be hateful. I used to care a lot about what other people say but the more I networked and met with like-minded people I cared less and less. My sister would get affected the most but I think there has been a turning point where the positivity outweighs the negative recently. Did You Have To Do A Pitch When You First Applied To The Apprentice? Your first round of interviews is your elevator pitch in the application process. I got a lot of positive feedback from that. There are lots of different interviews through the process and being ‘real’ was really essential in the process. How Does The New Found Fame Feel? I love people, so meeting everyone is great. So many people came up to me asking for a selfie but not yet an autograph. I’m grateful for the new found fame because I think people really want to change their lives and I want to help them do that through business. I’m grateful for the new found platform. How Difficult Was It Being Away From Your Kids? It was really difficult. Being in the Apprentice is difficult because of the annoying other people in the show but also because you are away from your kids for up to two months. It’s annoying in business you have to be one thing or another: parent or businesswoman. I want to make it easier to fit being a parent and a business person together. Do You Think The Apprentice Is A True Representation Of You? Yeah because I have a good heart but I am feisty. All entrepreneurs have an element of aggression or assertiveness about them. It’s not an insult because I think it’s passionate. Do You Believe That The Skills You’ve Learnt In Presenting Yourself Well Have Helped Your Career? Definitely, I had my first paid speaking gig recently and I wanted to be authentic so I didn’t have a powerpoint or notes. Eventually, someone is going to like me for who I am. I’m not trying to be very corporate, I’m just a mom who is hustling. What I love about speaking is the feeling you get when students come and speak to you after the speech. Do You Get Nervous? Yeah, you can still hear it in everyone’s voice. You have to channel your nerves in the right way. Surely even Beyonce gets nervous before she performs and you have to go onto stage with a fierce alter ego. Get Into The Mindset Of An Employee. I realised that the employees were never going to see the business in the same way as I do. It’s not their business. When your an employee you don’t care about the big picture as much. It can take a while to realise this. In Five Years Time, I would like to be happy, have a nice house. Money is one of the biggest factors of people being down. Running this business has been a financial strain, so having a support system is really important. Best Moments ‘I love business, love sales, and meeting people.’ ‘Focus on your own destiny and your own success.’ ‘People are going to judge you anyway.’ ‘I want to see to get the best out of people.’ ‘Trying to make business more open to being a Parent.’ ‘If you need help get the help.’ ‘It’s all about passion.’ ‘Hustle until your haters ask if your hiring.’ ‘If you’re not nervous you're not going to give the best performance.’ ‘People don’t connect with you unless you show your care.’ ‘You need to remember what it was like for you as an employee.’ ‘You don’t always have to keep your errors or insecurities to yourself. Speak to people.’’   ABOUT THE HOST   Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

CONTACT METHOD    Toni’s LinkedIn Toni’s Twitter  About The Guest Khadija Kalifa BBC Apprentice 2018 Candidate and self-made Mumpreneur Khadija Kalifa is a busy Mumpreneur on a mission to build an empire, whilst raising two under 5's and inspiring others to make their passion their profession. As a current BBC Apprentice Candidate who has built a profitable cleaning business, employing 30 staff over the last four years, whilst raising two infants, Khadija has learnt many tricks of the trade. With experience in educational and event speaking, from planning lessons to freestyling, she loves to inspire and motivate everyone to achieve their full potential. Khadija was raised by a single mother and the eldest of four children. Khadija went to school in an underprivileged area of Peterborough and spent time mixing with the wrong crowds whilst feeling frustrated with her families financial struggle. Khadija told the world from 12 years old that one day she would be rich and successful and it was in year 12 that Khadija really pulled her act together and realised that her success was down to her and her alone. Khadija's main topics of discussion are around overcoming adversity and hardship both in childhood and after the complicated birth of her first daughter. Khadija speaks about taking a negative and using it as fire to fuel success. Khadija discusses how everyone of her studied subjects helps in her business today and shows proven links between them, such as English Literature and Language assisting with writing emails and blogs. Khadija tells the children how your Network is your Net Worth and to treat the caretaker the same as the CEO. To always be well mannered, polite, humble and grateful for everything. Khadija speaks about branding, unique selling points and making your business stand out in a crowd. Showing good morals and ethics within your brand is always a win, she says. Khadija can show you how a young Mum who grew up in an underprivileged area, turned her daughters birth trauma into a motivational story and became a current BBC Apprentice Candidate.
