Jim James had his first experience of being an entrepreneur when he needed to raise funds to participate in Operation Raleigh, by doing a parachute jump.

Jim then found himself in Singapore looking for a supplier. Unable to locate one he decided to set up as the supplier he could not find. The business grew to several locations.

Jim has always been fascinated by entrepreneurs and now hosts the successful podcast The Unnoticed Entrepreneur which then became a series of books.

In this episode of the Abeceder podcast The Independent Minds, James and Michael joke about their different approaches to parachuting.

They also discuss the lessons Jim has observed his entrepreneurial guests have learned in how they have built their businesses and made sure that they have not been unnoticed even though they did not have a budget for marketing or public relations.

Nathan Turner is the founder of Earnest Investing a company that invests in property.

Nathan identified that he liked the regular income that being a residential landlord provided. But that was the only aspect of being a landlord that he did like.

So, he hit on an approach that would provide the regular income, without the other responsibilities. In the process he created a different way for people to move from renting to owning their home.

In this episode of the Abeceder podcast The Independent Minds, Nathan explains to host Michael Millward what a mortgage note is and how he turned mortgage note trading into helping people to own their own homes.

Nathan explains how he manages the notes to help people to stay in their homes.

Nathan has set up a fund to help other people invest in mortgage notes.

This episode of The Independent Minds discusses financial investments. Before making any financial investments, it is a good idea to consult an independent financial advisor.
