295 - From On The Tools To On My Terms

Welcome to another episode of The Blueprint Podcast. In this episode, we're welcoming Katie Harvey into the Property Entrepreneur Hall of Fame!

From working 12-hour shifts as an electrician to becoming a successful Property Entrepreneur and co-director of Haines Homes, Katie's journey is one of transformation, resilience, and vision.

Alongside her brother Josh and cousin Jacob, Katie started building a rent-to-rent HMO portfolio while still an apprentice—juggling long hours, low pay, and the constant grind of chasing invoices and managing projects. Like many entrepreneurs starting out, the business consumed their lives, leaving little time for family, hobbies, or rest.

Everything changed when Katie joined the Property Entrepreneur Programme. With clear direction, expert mentorship, and the support of a like-minded community, she and her family were able to turn their business around. Katie got "off the tools", launched her passion project Breathe Blueprint, and began focusing on high-value work that delivered both profit and personal freedom.

One of her most impressive achievements to date? Converting a 3-bed house into an 8-bed co-living space—projected to generate over £67,000 in profit.

Through strategic planning, financial forecasting, and learning to treat family like business partners, Katie has not only built a thriving business, but reclaimed her time, her energy, and her life. Her story is a shining example of how building a Life by Design is not only possible—but powerful.

Katie's top tips include:

• Create a clear plan—and review it regularly

• Surround yourself with the right people

• Celebrate the small wins

• And most importantly—enjoy the journey

We hope you enjoy this episode and are inspired by Katie's journey of courage, clarity, and creating success on her own terms.

Success and failure are both very predictable.
