PREFERRED QUESTION:
1. Hi NATASHA, so excited to have you with us today. Can you briefly walk us through your story? How did you start, and how did you get to where you are now?

I grew up in the Eastern part of Nigeria, a region deeply rooted in entrepreneurship and resilience. From a young age, I witnessed the dedication, resourcefulness, and grit required to succeed in business. Each day, after school and once my assignments were completed, I would make my way to my mother’s retail business hub, where I learned the value of hard work, trust, and building relationships. Watching my mother navigate the complexities of customer acquisition, marketing strategies, and negotiations instilled in me a profound understanding of the business world.

By high school, I had already launched my own small venture, putting into practice the principles I had learned from my mother. It was during this time that I discovered my true passion for entrepreneurship and began to understand the delicate balance between opportunity and risk, as well as the importance of building trust and value through every interaction. I vividly recall telling my mother and repeating it so often that it became a family motto, that I would build luxurious duplexes when I grow up. That vision became a defining part of my aspirations.

As my entrepreneurial journey progressed, real estate emerged as the ideal avenue to channel my ambition. It offered a powerful platform to create value, build meaningful connections, and shape thriving communities on a global scale. This vision led to the founding of Cityroyce Group, an international real estate firm committed to offering investors with exclusive, low-risk, high-returns opportunities across the world’s most prestigious markets.

NEWLY ADDED QUESTION:
2. What inspired your transition into real estate, and how has your journey evolved to empower investors and drive global solutions, including your significant presence and footprint in Los Angeles?

I was drawn to real estate because it offered a tangible way to create long-term value and build thriving communities. It aligned perfectly with my passion for entrepreneurship and my childhood dream of building luxurious homes.

We started as a brokerage firm in Africa, but growing demand from our discerning investors drove our expansion into California, Europe, and the Middle East. Today, we specialize in high-end real estate brokerage, property development, and world-class hospitality.

For our affluent investors, Los Angeles stands as the epitome of luxury and opportunity. Iconic neighborhoods like Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Holmby Hills, Silicon Valley, and the Sunset Strip represent more than just luxury living; they are symbols of timeless appeal and long-term investment potential. By bridging discerning clients with these exclusive opportunities, we are proud to be part of the city’s legacy of excellence in real estate.

Beyond Los Angeles, we’ve achieved milestones that reflect our mission to create value and build trust. From facilitating multi-million-dollar cross-border deals to growing Cityroyce Group into an internationally recognized firm that’s not only solidified its footprint in the global real estate but it’s expanding into energy exploration and digital transformation. Our work empowers investors to achieve their financial goals while driving global solutions and fostering new opportunities for growth.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
4. Has it been a smooth road? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?

Building Cityroyce Group has been an incredible journey, but it hasn’t been without its challenges. One of the most significant obstacles has been navigating the complexities of operating in global markets. Expanding internationally required adapting to different legal systems, economic fluctuations, and cultural nuances, each demanding a steep learning curve and a commitment to continuous improvement. At times, this meant managing situations where regulations and expectations were vastly different from what we were accustomed to, forcing us to think creatively and remain flexible.

Unexpected events have also tested our resilience. The pandemic disrupted industries globally, shifting priorities and creating an environment of uncertainty. More recently, the LA wildfires posed logistical challenges, from operational delays to reassessing how we support our clients and partners during crises. These moments reminded me of the importance of staying agile and proactive, as well as the need for a strong, collaborative team that can rally together to overcome adversity.

What I’ve learned through these challenges is that resilience and preparation go hand in hand. Proactive planning, strategic foresight, and clear communication have been critical in navigating complex situations. These experiences not only reinforced my belief that challenges are powerful opportunities for growth but also deepened my commitment to creating value, building trust, and driving excellence across every facet of Cityroyce Group’s operations.

NEWLY ADDED QUESTION:
5. What advice would you give to entrepreneurs who are determined to build a global brand and succeed in international markets?

First and foremost, success is built on relationships grounded in trust, respect, and meaningful connections. Listen intently to your clients, understand their unique needs, and consistently deliver value through every interaction. This human-centric approach is the cornerstone of building a lasting global brand.

Equally important is adopting a global mindset. The world is more interconnected than ever, and real opportunities often lie beyond familiar borders. Real estate taught me that what may initially seem like a challenge can become a strategic opportunity with the right approach.

Finally, never lose sight of your vision, no matter how ambitious it may seem. My childhood dream of building ‘luxurious duplexes’ was more than just a fleeting thought; it was a guiding light that reminded me that hard work, resilience, and clarity of purpose can transform even the boldest dreams into reality.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

6. How do you stay informed, inspired, and organized in your daily pursuits?

I’m always on the lookout for resources that challenge my thinking and fuel my growth. Books like Mindset by Carol Dweck have taught me the power of a growth mentality, while Never Split The Difference by Chris Voss has been invaluable for mastering high-stakes negotiations. Atomic Habits by James Clear is my go-to guide for building routines that stick and make a real impact.

When it comes to staying organized and focused, Notion has become my personal command center for ideas and projects. LinkedIn keeps me connected to industry trends and valuable conversations. And for a dose of inspiration, I turn to podcasts like The Tim Ferriss Show and How I Built This, where I get to hear the stories of resilience, innovation, and success that motivate me every day.

These resources keep me sharp, motivated, and always learning.
