  • "I Quit My Job - and Moved my Business to SPAIN!"
    Jun 5 2025

    In this episode of the Ambitious Lifestyle Business podcast, One Percenter Ian Bluck returns to discuss his journey from a corporate job at Lloyds Bank to building a property empire and moving to Spain.

    Moving to Spain was a family decision influenced by Ian's children, after they attended One Percent LIVE with Ian and his wife in 2024. It's important to take inspiration from others' journeys, and that's exactly what Ian and his family did.

    Crucially, they knew that there would never be a "perfect time" to make the move, and so, rather than waiting for all the lights to turn green, they started taking action immediately, and dealt with each potential stumbling block or challenge as they arose. As Ian says, he's discovered the "manana" mindset as a result!

    We also talk about how lessons learned in corporate settings can be applied to small businesses, the significance of teaching financial literacy to children, and the value of creating a supportive community. Ian also reflects on the importance of defining success on your own terms and the need for continuous improvement in both knowledge and environment.

    If you're looking to move your business to Spain (or indeed anywhere outside of the UK), Ian's story is an inspirational one, that you'll want to listen to multiple times.
