This Property Life Podcast Property Wealth System

In this podcast episode, Sarah Blaney and Nick Claydon discuss the importance of having a clear vision and taking action to achieve success in property investment and life. They share personal experiences and recommend books and podcasts that have influenced their mindset and approach to achieving their goals, highlighting the significance of setting non-negotiable goals, doing the necessary work (referred to as "doing the reps"), and seeking help and resources to accelerate progress

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Before making any changes or pursuing any goals, it is essential to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve.
Success comes from taking consistent action, doing the necessary work, and not expecting results to magically appear.
Listening to podcasts and reading books can provide valuable insights, inspiration, and practical strategies for achieving success.
Re-evaluate daily tasks and consider outsourcing to focus on strategic aspects of the business, working smarter rather than harder.
Surrounding yourself with mentors and coaches can provide guidance, hold you accountable, and accelerate your progress towards your goals.

BEST MOMENTS

"You have to know what it is you're trying to do, why you know, what are non-negotiables? How do you want things to change?“

"I loved The Four by Scott Galloway. It really delves into Facebook, Amazon, Apple, and Google, and talks about their identity, their marketing, the way that they're run, and the very ethos of those companies."

"It's about lifestyle. It's not about how many properties you got or what your portfolio looks like. It's about, you know, we have one life, it can be short, you know, things can happen. You've got to make the most of it."

"So get the vision, do the reps, make the plan, get it done, do more reps."

In this podcast episode, Sarah Blaney and Nick Claydon address questions from coaching clients, focusing on the importance of having a side hustle in addition to building a property portfolio. They emphasise the need for passion, skills, and monetization when choosing a side hustle and delve into the concept of resilience and how it plays a crucial role in overcoming setbacks in property investment

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When feeling stuck or overwhelmed, taking small, consistent actions like viewing properties, networking, and setting clear goals can help regain momentum and motivation.
Setbacks are inevitable in property investing. It's important to reflect on past experiences, identify what worked, and use that knowledge to navigate through challenges.
Connecting with the why behind property investing and having a clear vision of goals can help maintain focus and drive, especially during tough times.
Surrounding oneself with a supportive network of mentors, peers, and like-minded individuals can provide valuable insights, guidance, and encouragement in times of difficulty.

BEST MOMENTS

"You've got to find that fire and the passion for getting out and getting over all these obstacles, because I wish I could say there aren't any when you get more advanced, but you know, they just, the obstacles just get bigger."

"Expect the worst but hope for the best. Yeah, that's probably a good mindset to go in with, you know, expect that things are going to go wrong. But sometimes they don't. That's okay."

"You fall back on the experience of, well, when I felt like this last time, what did I do? And, you know, if it was okay, well, a funding problem, then what I did was I picked up the phone and spoke to XYZ and got more answers and more information which would help me through this."

BEST MOMENTS

"I love the viewings, I love the hustle, I love the networking, I love all of the aspects. Because I just, it's just my thing."

"I think possibly leveraging off someone else time or space or whatever it is that you need. I think that's why yesterday I met that one of our students when she was like, because she's doing it on her own."

"Last week, I can't, you know, I'm not good at raising money. You won't be because you've just told yourself you're not."

In this podcast episode, Caroline Claydon is joined by property investor Jordan Kynoch, who shares the details of a successful flip he recently completed. Jordan discusses the strategic decisions and challenges he faced while turning around a distressed property in a village between Perth and Dundee

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Jordan's property flip resulted in a profit of over 80,000 pounds, exceeding his target and showcasing the potential for success even in a challenging market.
Jordan's ability to secure off-market deals highlights the importance of networking and leveraging contacts in the industry to find lucrative opportunities.
Listing the property during the Christmas period, typically considered a slow time in the market, proved to be a smart move as it attracted serious buyers and led to a quick sale.
While the primary goal was a flip, Jordan had a secondary exit strategy in place, considering the option of renting the property if needed, showcasing the importance of having backup plans.

BEST MOMENTS

"I was aiming at least doing, trying to get at least 40 grand across from the flips."

"It's a really exciting time and it's hard for people to understand how much opportunities are out there when you read the media, right?"

"I bought it off market again and I've not touched it. I'm putting it back on to sell it straight away because I bought it at such a good price."

"I always like to do something a bit different to the norm, because it means that you've got that extra step ahead and you've got that jumpstart."
