Importance of Gen AI Code: With Gen AI code becoming more prevalent, it is crucial for organizations to manage it effectively to mitigate risks related to IP, security, and exit strategies.

And for us, coders using it is probably number one on the list in terms of how much more productive they can be, because it helps avoid some of the routine work. It lets them experiment faster, et cetera.” "My mission in life is to help founders and revenue leaders avoid all the pain and suffering in revenue growth so they can flip it and create a life of their own design."

In this episode, Yvonne is joined by Ellen Kavanagh Jones the founder of Waxperts, who is known as the waxing queen. She is a beauty entrepreneur who developed a pain-free waxing product that is also easy for salon owners to use. Today, Ellen and her husband are in the process of launching a new skincare range for pre-teens which perfectly addresses the skincare issues they suffer from. Ellen shares the details of her entrepreneurial journey and explains the role manifestation has played in her success. KEY TAKEAWAYS When Elin wanted to develop a new wax brand, she tried every single one of her competitor's products first. Research is a critical stage of the development of any new product. Regardless of the type of business you set up there will be difficult days, having a strong why will help to keep you going. Harness the fact that people who work for you and your customers are relying on you. You can use this to motivate you and keep you going through the bad days.  In some sectors, word of mouth is still an important aspect of marketing. Sometimes you have a great idea that the market is not ready for just yet. Our skin is our biggest organ, and it changes as we age, so everyone needs to use products that have been developed for their age group. Failure is a big part of your learning. It is by far the fastest and most effective way to learn. A positive mindset makes a huge difference in all aspects of your life. Doing your manifestations last thing at night makes them far more effective. BEST MOMENTS ‘Just find what you're good at….just be the best at that. ´ ‘The drop when something does not go right is not for the faint-hearted.' ‘When I let go, my life will flow.'   GUEST AND EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.waxpertswax.com https://yourskinstuff.com/ Louise Hay - https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Louise+Hay&i=audible&ref=dp_byline_sr_audible_1 Sara Blakely - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spanx-Story-Underneath-Incredible-Storybook-ebook/dp/B07T8SG7WZ VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: pausepenny.com Instagram: @yvonnetchrakian_manifest @pause.penny LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonne-tchrakian-64257619/ HOST BIO Yvonne started her career as a corporate lawyer for one of Ireland's top law firms.

In this episode, Neil Harvey delves into the personal side of the hosting business. With over eight years of hosting experience and interactions with guests from over 40 countries, Neil shares five key realities of being a host. From how hosting can change your mindset to facing and overcoming prejudices, dealing with guest irritations, wearing different hats to cater to various guest needs, and ultimately how hosting enriches your life through diverse guest interactions.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Hosting on Airbnb can have a significant personal impact, changing your mindset and forcing you to face your prejudices. Interacting with a diverse range of guests can enrich your life and provide valuable learning experiences. Your behavior and attitude as a host set the tone for your guests' experience, ultimately impacting your success. Despite occasional irritations, maintaining a positive and empathetic approach towards guests is crucial for a successful hosting experience. Embracing the challenges and joys of hosting can lead to personal growth and fulfillment, making the journey rewarding. BEST MOMENTS "Just because I was in debt was no reason to be unhappy. Debt made me broke. Broke is a state of pocket. Being poor is a state of mind." "If I had let my first impressions of these guests control my actions, it not only would have affected my hosting duties and provided a poorer experience for those people, but I too would also have missed out on learning about their backgrounds and their lives." "Understanding one another is one thing, but unless you're Mother Teresa or Gandhi, there will be occasions when your guests simply push your buttons with their behaviors." "If the world is at your kitchen table, why wouldn't you want to be part of it? You would be amazed with how much of their lives guests are actually willing to share with you." "Your behavior sets the tone of your guests' experience. If you want to pay all your bills and enjoy a host of new thrills, at the end of the day the size of your pay will be set by your people skills." ABOUT THE HOST Neil has led a fulfilled and unconventional life, navigating an extraordinary journey from the Royal Navy to prop-making in London's West End theatres. Born into a military family, it was a twist of fate which led him to the theatre, where he contributed to iconic productions such as Phantom of the Opera. Eventually, Neil transitioned to Corporate Event Team Building, eventually founding his own venture in 1999. Financial challenges in 2017 are what prompted a strategic shift to Airbnb hosting, proving a reliable backup income. By 2021, Neil and his business partner triumphed over significant debt, fuelled by their resilience and the success of Neil's Airbnb venture. Now, Neil has left the corporate world behind, thriving solely through his flourishing Airbnb endeavours. ABOUT THE SHOW Welcome to "The Airbnb Superhost," your ultimate guide to mastering the art of hosting on Airbnb. In each concise 15-minute episode, Neil will reveal the secrets to creating unforgettable guest experiences and maximizing the potential of your property, drawing on over 8 consecutive years as a qualifying Airbnb Superhost.

 Join Ryan as he interviews Jaeden Schafer, founder of AI Box, a no-code AI app builder. They discuss leveraging AI tools like ChatGPT to help grow and scale companies. Jaeden talks about building an AI automation platform and they debate whether AI will replace the bottom third of sales roles. Ryan also gives tangible tips for using AI to save time and increase strategic thinking. Join 2,500+ readers getting weekly practical guidance to scale themselves and their companies using Artificial Intelligence and Revenue Cheat Codes.   Explore becoming Superhuman here: https://superhumanrevenue.beehiiv.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Ryan tested ChatGPT by roleplaying as a CFO, giving context about metrics and emotions. It answered over 90% accurately based on his sales experience. He uses the TEAMS framework: AI for Time-savings, Execution efficiency, Acumen gains, Money generation, and Skills advancement. Jaeden's start-up AI Box is a no-code platform to automate workflows by chaining AI models using customized prompts. Simple ways to start with AI: swap Google searches for ChatGPT and automate your most tedious weekly tasks.
 AI will likely replace the bottom third of sales roles first, like SDRs. But higher-value complex sales still need human connection. Remotely working with AI is less effective than being in-person, much like post-COVID return to offices based on falling productivity. Automating functions with a singular vision prevents continuous re-evaluation and improvement that humans intrinsically bring. Yoshio Bengio, pioneering AI researcher, says we've seen 8 years of progress in 4 months recently. It has caused massive disruption but there are also tons of opportunities ahead. BEST MOMENTS "Just verbally talking and showing appreciation from person to person just does wonders, right? Which is totally outside of it. [AI]" "If you haven't fully tried to integrate this [AI] into everything that you do at work is like, obviously there is, there's no better time to start than, you know, Five months ago or 10 months ago." "I had things that I literally have to have. Like a prompt in my, on ChatGPT that is open every day on my computer because it's just something I have to do all the time."  "I was literally using it the night it was released!” Ryan Staley Founder and CEO Whale Boss ryan@whalesellingsystem.com www.ryanstaley.io Saas, Saas growth, Scale, Business Growth, B2b Saas, Saas Sales, Enterprise Saas, Business growth strategy, founder, ceo: https://www.whalesellingsystem.com/closingsecrets

Iceland has worked towards making tourism more sustainable by investing in infrastructure, encouraging year-round travel, and promoting ethical practices in the industry. BEST MOMENTS "Just because we're the closest doesn't mean we're there yet. We still have a lot of inequalities that we need to be tackling." "It's levelling the playing field for everyone. It's giving greater opportunities to people of all genders." "You can't just say, well, we've written a policy now. So we have a policy that things are going to be equal. And it's not really our fault if women aren't applying for the jobs or whatever it is." "I think it's fantastic because so often we will focus on the same old, same old destinations, you know. But we also want to be able to travel widely and have a rich experience."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Rob discusses six ways to add value to your home or property portfolio, beginning by questioning the accuracy of an article that claims certain home improvements can significantly increase property value.  Rob emphasises that the effectiveness of these improvements is location-dependent and highlights the importance of creating a unique selling point when selling a property. The episode explores various home improvements, such as loft conversions, garage conversions, garden offices, conservatories, new kitchens, and utility rooms, that can potentially add value to a home.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Adding a loft conversion or extension, a garage conversion, a garden office, a conservatory, a new kitchen, and a utility room are suggested as ways to add value to a home or portfolio. The effectiveness of these improvements in adding value may vary depending on the location and market conditions. It is important to create a unique selling point for your property to stand out among the competition. Other potential improvements include redecorating, adding a new roof, installing double glazing, upgrading the bathroom, adding a new boiler, installing an electric vehicle charging point, or landscaping the garden. BEST MOMENTS "Just because you go into a higher price bracket, does that mean that you're going to sell your home for a higher amount?" "If I go around to 10 homes and do 10 property viewings, is there a wow factor there somewhere?"  "I'd like to know where they got the figures from."  "A new kitchen is a new kitchen. Absolutely. Rather than get a new kitchen, you could look to upscale your kitchen."

I'm taking a different approach by answering your questions. Let's start with some valuable tips on tracking calories. I recommend committing to it for a few weeks and focusing on essential meals to simplify the process. It's crucial to understand that tracking is a useful tool, but it's not a requirement for weight loss. I'll share my advice on finding motivation, even when you're feeling under the weather. Plus, I've got some nifty meal prepping tips for those of you without heating facilities at work. Overall, this episode aims to provide practical guidance and insights across various fitness and nutrition topics.KEY TAKEAWAYS Tracking calories can be made easier by committing to it for a few weeks and focusing on key meals that are eaten regularly. This allows for a better understanding of portion sizes and calorie content. Bulk cooking meals can help with tracking calories, as it allows for easy calculation of calories per portion. This can save time and make tracking more efficient. Remember that tracking calories is just a tool and not the only way to achieve weight loss or muscle growth. It is possible to reach these goals without tracking, but tracking can help accelerate progress. Focus on creating a calorie average over the week rather than strictly tracking every single meal. This allows for flexibility and balance, so that if one meal goes over in calories, it can be balanced out by lower calorie meals throughout the week. Motivation is not always present, but it is important to still take action even on days when motivation is lacking. Consistency and commitment are key to success, even when motivation is low. BEST MOMENTS"Just remember like tracking is only a tool. Like people used to use- lose weight all the time without tracking. Like it's only realistically quite- what's the word? A future? No, a recent. It's only a recent tool that we've developed to help us to try and lose weight and understand how much fuel our body needs and stuff like that.""The days when it's hardest to motivate yourself are often the days that it's going to count. So the days that you do not want to get out of bed to go on that walk, to go on that run, to get your workout in, those are the days that count the most because those are the days that you are showing up for yourself even when you're not motivated and that is the key.""Just because you've failed a few times during the week or you've failed before a diet does not mean you are going to fail this time. Just because you might have had a few days where it's been a bit rocky does not make you a failure. Just remember that, really really remember that you are not a failure.""What can you improve on for the next week? Like failing is part of the learning process and that's why I say failing instead of failure because when we do things wrong, when we mess up, when we when things don't go our way there's always learning opportunities from that and that's the stuff that is not going to like that's the bit that's like no you're not a failure.""Trust the process a little bit longer stick with the calories that we've given you and yeah congratulations i'm quite jealous that you're not feeling that hungry um." ABOUT THE HOSTLou's personal journey with body confidence and food struggles began at the age of 15, where overeating and guilt around food consumed her. But everything changed during the lockdown in March 2020. Determined to regain control, Lou immersed herself in research, found joy in working out in her garden, and started tracking her nutrition and steps. Surprisingly, she lost a stone in less than three months and discovered a newfound love for fitness.Fuelling her passion, Lou pursued personal training qualifications and launched her Instagram page in September 2020. After months of building a solid foundation, branding, and gaining relevant expertise, she started helping others achieve what once felt impossible—losing fat, feeling empowered, and loving the journey without restrictions.

Lee rounds off his 3 Things series with 3 more important, thought-provoking points highlighted throughout the past few weeks. Here is a reflective summary of the choosing and honing of the ten topics covered. KEY TAKEAWAYS Thinking about the ten most valuable areas to discuss has been a worthwhile, constructive task. Having to narrow down to 3 most important points forces focus and clarity on all the chosen topics. This series has facilitated thinking, feeling and doing on each of the topics covered efficiently. BEST MOMENTS ‘Just narrowing it down to the 10 things that I believed would add the greatest amount of value to you has been just a great reflective space and a great reflective opportunity for me to really consider these things.' ‘When you are given a topic to think about and forced to identify the 3 things that you believe are the most important of that really forces the thinking and I had some great moments sat by myself identifying the 3 things for each different topic as well.' ‘This mini-series has allowed me to think feel and do about each of these different things and it's an amazing reflective space for me. I don't think people take the necessary amount of time to actually reflect.'

Free Webinar | https://bit.ly/podcastpowr It can be easy to spend a lot of money, time and energy when podcasting but Kane and Ash are here to tell you the things that are unnecessary, and at times, even detrimental to your success and what to focus on instead. KEY TAKEAWAYS Studios: Just because you spend lots of money it doesn't mean you'll get a better result than a set-up at home. Expensive Equipment: There are simple types of equipment to get started with that won't break the bank but will produce top-quality content You're not going to get a better result from spending money on things like equipment and studios because your content won't change and that's what is the most important. Highly Produced Intros: Do not have the same intro every episode, it's better to keep things simple and make it short, tailoring it to the episode. You want your podcast to be the softest way to sell, spend more energy and time on providing valuable content rather than pitching to your listeners. Blogs and transcriptions can have a place but they aren't as important as they may seem. If you don't have a blog following this is a wasted effort. You don't need a social media accounts specifically for your podcast. Use your current platforms and leverage your existing following to grow. Don't spend time strictly scripting episodes, it doesn't sound good and you can end up discounting valuable content and conversation with your guest. BEST MOMENTS “Just because you pay these people, doesn't mean it's going to be the best” “You don't need to buy the same microphone that Joe Rogan uses” “Do a bespoke intro” “Who's reading a podcast?

Amass Insights are currently looking into how to use invoice data to predict sales and trends. After working in a traditional hedge fund company, Jordan began to ask himself why they weren't using the data available to them in the ad or marketing space. This question is what started him on his entrepreneurial journey and on to eventually co-founding Amass Insights. Getting to this stage of his entrepreneurial journey wasn't easy. Jordan co-founded two start-ups previously and had to deal with a lengthy and costly lawsuit after creating the second but it helped him build resilience and he learnt a lot of lessons from this low point of his career. A new concept of Jordan's to build growth is ‘Alternative Data Happy Hour' which is a live industry event aimed at potential customers, utilising existing relationships and connections.

John meets Maria Gavriel, a full-time mum of 2 and a part-time lifestyle and business coach. Having grown several six-figure businesses over the last 15 years, Maria has gathered knowledge on how to be successful and thrive without experiencing burnout. She helps her clients discover little-known methods to increase their productivity, joy and time without costing them what matters most, their peace and happiness. By allowing her clients' higher selves to emerge, Maria shows them how to live their hearts' desire without the overwhelm.  Maria and John talk about how she assists her clients, the old work systems that are harmful, how her burnout occurred, her ideas on constructive teamwork and delegation, effective communication and the disastrous result of not honouring one's own needs. KEY TAKEAWAYS The first step is to identify the problem, but especially for women, talking about stress and burnout is frowned upon.   Women in business feel pulled in many directions between work, relationships and childcare and these pressures result in burnout. Maria helps them simplify their life, build teams, scale their business and move to a two or three day work week. Emulating the old ‘masculine' version of success with no emotion and no concern outside the workplace does not function for anyone including women.  Maria teaches her clients to bring in a team at home and to bring in a team at work. At home, a family based support network can be established and at work a collaborative team that frees the client from the mindset that they have to complete everything themselves.  Effective communication is just as important at home as at work. Team exercises and meetings are a helpful function for family support systems too. BEST MOMENTS ‘Just recently I was reading that the WHO actually declared burnout officially as a disease now, a fatal disease. Burnout is now officially killing people.' – Maria  ‘So I introduce systems and structures and usually within six months they move to a shorter work week and start to see a difference just because they are honouring themselves more they start to see a difference in their personal life too.'  - Maria ‘There are so many different relationships that we have that can impact on our own emotional, mental and physical health.' – John ‘My son taking on all these tasks now means he's contributing. He's empowered and at the same time I also know that he's equipped for when he goes off to college.' – Maria  ‘If the lifestyle we've created at work is sabotaging our relationships in our personal life we walk away from that business, that dream, that vision because it will just break our heart.' – Maria  GUEST RESOURCES Link - https://mariagavriel.com/ Workshop - www.mariagavriel.com/workshop VALUABLE RESOURCES Link to my workshop -   https://www.johnkennycoaching.com/5- things-you-need-to-create-a-healthy-loving-relationship/ To get in touch - email –  john@johnkennycoaching.com  or book a complimentary call –  https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30min If people want to order a copy of the book then they can just pay postage of £4.95 (RRP £8.99) - www.johnkennycoaching.com/podcast-book-offer Want to be able to address the relationship issues in your life? - Why not book in for a complimentary call and we can discuss how you can get the new started with some new types of relationships - https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30min The Relationship Guy Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/the-relationship-guy         ABOUT THE HOST I am John Kenny, Award Winning Relationship Coach.Coaching people to experience healthy loving relationships.

In this episode, Ariel talks about how you or someone you know can get unstuck or out of a ‘slow down'.KEY TAKEAWAYS Through the pandemic I had a number of breakdowns and challenges, like everyone. I was out of work for about 6 months, which had never happened in my career. I had to learn to claim for benefits and when I did there was a computer error because the system crashed when I was applying which delayed the process by months. I was also single with no family around, so no emotional support, I had my kid part time and when I did have him I was frantically trying to home school him, like all the other parents out there. And I was trying to navigate his stress, my stress, all the stress while trying to stay in a good frame of mind. It was intense and scary. But I took baby steps to get unstuck. Being stuck is a way of not moving forward in one or many areas of your life, especially if you want or need to move forward. Being stuck is connected to being afraid of what change would bring, some form of self-sabotage, and is a state that rarely gets us what we want in life. The fear of the unknown and the fear of success are often much more powerful than people realise, sometimes even more powerful than the fear of failure. Those fears are unconscious but they run your behaviour and cause negative feedback loops which keeps people stuck. Everyone is where they are, wherever they are in life and until you learn a lesson, change what you're doing or habits you're always going to be in that negative state, until you're not. Judging yourself for not doing what you're supposed to do, or not taking action, or not moving forward, keeps you stuck. When you release the judgement you can start moving on to the next steps. Like making a list of the unknowns that would show up in your life if you got unstuck and address them. What would your life look like if you were to be successful and get to make the changes you want to make? How does it feel? One of the biggest limitations to moving forwards is our own procrastination, our own blindness to do what needs to be done, or the fear that we have of hurting someone's feelings. All of these behaviours are linked to self-sabotage. The saboteur is a part of our consciousness that somehow thinks that it's winning or protecting us by sabotaging us, we have to teach that part of our consciousness that this is not true. Action is absolutely key – visualisation with no action is distraction. It's not just knowing what your goals are, it's actually taking the steps to complete those goals and plugging those steps into your calendar and then actually doing those things. BEST MOMENTS“Just about everybody at some point in their life gets stuck.”“We have a lot more resilience than we realise. Though you may not want to hear it when you're, but it's actually true.”“The first thing to do to make a change in your life is to let go of self-judgement. Some people get addicted to that negative energy. Work on what you can do.”“When you create time in your calendar to do the things you want to do, you're a lot more likely to do them because you actually have the time to do them.”ABOUT THE HOSTAriel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

Perhaps Shangrila's middle name should be Phoenix, as in “risen from the ashes”. In this inspirational, hour-long conversation, Shangrila shares with Fire in the Belly how she overcame childhood sexual abuse, addiction and left her promising career as an engineer to become a professional triathlete. In 2010, she did not know how to swim, nor did she own a bike, and currently she holds two Guinness Book of World Records for running five ultra-marathons in five days. Listen to how she immigrated to California from the Philippines and went from living in her car to the pinnacle of athletic achievement through sheer grit, love, and determination.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Her background as an engineer, with that facility with statistics and analysis, plus her people skills, make her an ideal coach. She has a five-point training program (physical training, nutrition, body maintenance, race strategies and mental fitness) where rest and recovery are key.  Self-care is incredibly important to keep her balanced, but it must be fluid – one day it could be a cup of coffee, another some time at the beach. Stay in tune with yourself.  Her best recharge tips can be distilled to self-expression, adventure, and connecting with other people. BEST MOMENTS  “Just being happy helps me prioritize.” “The love that I have, taking care of myself, knowing more about what I really want and what makes me happy – I want to give that to others.”  “When I work with people, my clients, I give them more than what they're paying for, because there's love in it.” “My ultimate goal is to help as many individuals as I can, globally.”   ABOUT THE GUEST  Shangrila Rendon is a powerhouse of a human being. Known as the “Feisty Fox”, she immigrated to the United States from the Philippines when she was 19 years old. Years of sexual abuse led to years of addiction issues, which she finally overcame. She was a professional engineer for over 15 years before quitting to become a professional athlete, and now she makes her living as a full-time coach, training analyst, and advocate. She is world renowned for running five ultramarathons in five days – which is incredible regardless, but especially considering in 2010 she did not know how to swim, nor ride a bike. Shangrila lives in California with her wife of ten years.  CONTACT METHOD Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/490itmvBk96AGHkPEW4msC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shangrilarendon/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shangrilarendon/ Website: https://www.feistyfoxcoaching.com/homepage-1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shangrilarendon ABOUT THE HOST  The ‘Mighty Pete Lonton' from the ‘Mighty 247' company is your main host of ‘Fire in The Belly'.  Pete is an entrepreneur, mentor, coach, property Investor, and father of three beau98tiful girls.

In this episode, Rob speaks to Daniel Duffield the co-founder of KOVE Properties and KOVE Estates. He is an architect by trade, who joined up with Jez Wood to shake up the way rentals are done in the UK. They do things differently to provide tenants with safe, secure homes at the same time providing services and building portfolios for property developers and investors to enable them to do this. Daniel and Rob discuss how he went from being an architect to founding KOVE properties. They discuss the mistakes they made and how they handled things in ways that enabled them to learn and turn things into a positive. Daniel explains how he hires and manages tradespeople for multiple projects for multiple clients. They also discuss two easy ways to get started working in property. In particular, how to build experience. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Always give as much value as you can and help as many people as you can. When you do that, great things happen. Having a positive mindset makes you someone people want to be around and work with. Even if a friend recommends a tradesperson, still take the time to check them out before hiring them. Never skip the research process. Often, it only takes an hour. Own up to your mistakes, offer a solution and pay to fix the problem. Clients appreciate honesty and will want to work with you over the long term. Even when you hire good builders you need to keep a check on them. If you don´t the quality is likely to slip. Don´t be afraid to lean on professionals. Risk equals cost. Spend your time doing the income-generating tasks and hire others to do the rest. Don't be afraid to work for free to learn how the property business works. BEST MOMENTS ‘Just give as much value as you can.' ‘People will work with you because they like you.' ‘A lot of builders are good at doing the job but are not as organised as you would be.' ‘The biggest learnings are when you mess up and you will mess up.'    GUEST RESOURCES www.facebook.com/koveproperties www.instagram.com/koveproperties https://koveestates.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/KOVEEstates https://www.instagram.com/koveestates/  VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website  Buy to Let: How to Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.

Welcome back to another weekly update of hot property news, advice and investment strategies. Today, Kevin explores recent articles from ‘Landlord Today' and ‘Property Investor Today' covering the booming UK holiday let market, advantages of the current stamp duty holiday and dives into the best investment areas for consistent high yields from your buy-to-let.   Join the Progressive Property Community   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Lower purchase price areas that provide the highest yields don't necessarily give you the least hassle. There is a much higher turnover of tenant and as a landlord investing during the current economic climate you may see missed payments and tenants facing redundancies.   There's a common misconception is you want to invest big in an affluent area for a stress free, high return investment in the buy-to-let market. Areas with higher earners will always require a much larger investment cost upfront.   Cheap does not mean valuable. One of the best areas to invest in is right in between the low yielding and high yielding areas where there is good tenant demand and good employment prospects.   You should be looking to invest in the holiday let market to service the demand for staycations. Since the Stamp Duty holiday announcement in July, mortgage providers have seen a direct increase of 39% in mortgages for holiday lets and bookings for UK holiday let cottages in July increased by in 19% in July YOY demonstrating the boom in the UK holiday let market. There is a delay in approved mortgage applications. Due to COVID restrictions local councils valuations and searches taking longer than normal. Additionally independent legal advice for purchases made through a limited company are also taking longer in tier 2 and 3 areas.   BEST MOMENTS “Just because a higher yielding area looks like a greater investment, doesn't necessarily mean that it's the case.” “The UK holiday let market is booming” “You should be looking to invest in serviced accommodations with the stamp duty holiday and demand for staycations” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.landlordtoday.co.uk/ https://www.propertyinvestortoday.co.uk/ https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode One: How to Perfectly Invest £10,000 | The Best Stocks | Property | Gold & Classic Cars Watch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At7PM Tiny.cc/PPTV Listen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Inspired by discussion on one of our forums, this week's HR Uprising Podcast episode is all about how to design an appraisal process. Lucinda shares easily-actionable, practical steps - from pre-planning considerations to execution. Thus, giving you the best ways to design an appraisal process that works for you and your organisation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Consider what the current situation is, and think about why you want to change it. Do you already have some kind of appraisal process in place, and if so, what is the problem that are trying to fix? Look at the environment and culture that currently makes up your organisation. Certainly, this will have an impact on how open and responsive people are to complexity and process. Furthermore, we must consider the basic need for appraisal in the first place. What purpose does it serve? Are we looking to improve strategic positions, or simply to increase engagement? In terms of designing the appraisal form, give consideration to the language being used. Is it a backward-looking form, or something more progressive and forward-looking. Indeed, we must give feedback on past achievements as well as provide clear goals for the future. BEST MOMENTS ‘Just because you're very familiar with something, doesn't mean that other people are familiar with it' 'Simplify rather than complicate' 'Simply changing a form or process isn't going to fix the problem' ‘Managing people does require us to talk to them more than once a year' VALUABLE RESOURCES Join the HR Uprising LinkedIn Group The host of the HR Uprising Podcast, Lucinda Carney, is also the founder and CEO of Actus Software, and author of the best-selling book 'How to be a Change Superhero'.

‘How is the Christmas period going to look for you and your business?' After a week of getting back into a full training schedule as Gordon looks towards his next running challenge, he reflects on the importance of preparation. When running you have to make sure you have done the right planning and training and as we approach ‘that time of the year' he shares some great tips on how any business can make sure that its prepared, customers are well informed and that their expectations are met so that they return in the new year.   KEY TAKEAWAYS You have to take some sort of action over the Christmas period. When you have time away from your business you need to think about how your business will cope when you're away. If you have a property business having a ‘go-to' box in your car can be a great way to ensure you have any essentials you might need. If you've been called out to a property for the same thing several times make sure you have the equipment and resources to solve the issue if it reoccurs. Make sure you have the right cover in place for boilers. If you offer informational products you need to consider how you get the product to the customer. Now is a good time to automate processes so that they are less labour intensive. Do you need to let your customers know delivery is different over the Christmas period? If you are maintaining the same delivery times, as usual, its vital that you fulfil this commitment as any disappointed customer may not purchase from you again. If you put in systems the Christmas period is a good time to trial and test how effective they are.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Just because you are off doesn't mean your tenants won't need you' ‘It's easy to say you will keep going as a small business but set dedicated time aside' ‘Unless it's scheduled it's very easy to not do a required task as at this time of the year there are lots of different pulls on your time and energy'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Entrepreneur Podcast   ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Property Entrepreneur Podcast.

There is no other way to go, but up!   In this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, Rob Talks to Ben Askren, a pro MMA fighter and pro Olympic wrestler, about fighting, dealing with haters, and stepping up your game.   If you're like Ben who cringes on the idea of mediocrity and repeating failures, then you're at a good start. Discover how you can improve more at whatever chosen field you're in as he shares his personal stories, career downturns (to stray away from), and some great book recommendations. They also talk about how you can manage the external factors that affect your career journey above all else, so tune in.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  When Ben saw that everyone around him was better in what he does (i.e. wrestling), he stepped up his game. Knowing just the basic styles won't even give him a podium finish, so he learned everything that he could possibly learn. He wanted to win every wrestling match and be at par with the pros.  Most likely, there's someone out there who has been in the same (or similar) situation as you. It would be such a waste on your time if you try to solve things on your own. Observe and learn from other people's experience (and mistakes). In this way, we avoid setbacks and grow exponentially.  There will always be a fear of failure—it's part of being a human. So, how do we cope? Acknowledge that it will happen, plan better, and get thrilled of whatever the results are.   When asked about he deals with critics, bashers, and naysayers, Ben advises showing people some love.

Ever thought that you can't buy property because you don't have a 25% deposit, or you don't earn enough to gain a mortgage? Well, there are plenty of ways for you to invest in property, with either no money, very little money or with someone else's money. Kevin this week talks through the various different ways that are available for you to invest in property with ‘No Money Down.' From using rent-to-rent and Planning Gain, listen from the expert in ‘No Money Down' property structures to make sure you start investing in your future today.   Key Takeaways Do you know people who own a lot of property? Do you know them personally or have you read about them? The reality is they probably get there by doing ‘No money down' property deals. They didn't do this by working in a job to save for a job. If you don't use ‘no money down' investing otherwise you won't own enough properties.   What is ‘No Money Down' Property investing? There are three types of ‘No Money Down.' It could literally mean there is no money down on the property, or there is very little or no money down on a property. Would you be willing to purchase a property for £1 which is worth millions and gives you lots of passive income? The final meaning is where you use other people's money to put down on a property.   What ways can you do ‘No Money Down'? People say you need a mortgage or you need 25% or you need to go through an estate agent, none of these things is necessarily true. This is not what creative property investors do.   You need time, you need knowledge, you need the money to get into Property. It doesn't happen to be your money, however. There isn't enough money to give back everyone the money there is in their account. A lease option is a really powerful strategy, which allows you to control someone else's property. When you buy a house, you get a title deed. It has the owner name and it has the address on it alongside anyone else who has an interest in the company. This means you get control of the title deed, which gives you control of the mortgage, cash flow and profit.   Rent-to-rent is a great option. You can get control of other people's property and the cash flow without the deposit. We'll get the landlord to make sure that there is a few months free rent, you can even get the furniture in buy now pay later scheme. You rent the property, and then you put the tenants in the property. People don't want the hassle of managing a property. If you don't have a deposit rent to rent can be great.   Rent-to-Buy. There are lots of people who are in rented accommodation and they want to buy a house but they can't afford to. You pay the market rent and have an option to buy later. The purchase price is locked in on day one. So you can move in, or someone else can be moved in. There is no cost to the landlord, the purchase price can be increased.   Buy-to-Flip. There are costs to this when you are doing the refurbishment. Buy-to-flip has to pay an additional 3% stamp duty which has eaten into profits. But an assisted sale could be useful. This is where you joint venture with the homeowner. You pay the refurbishment and increase a purchase price up front. You can split the sale cost after the event, so it's a win-win from the homeowner. You can joint venture with someone else to pay for the refurb costs as well.   Planning Gain. You don't need to buy a house to benefit from planning gain. This could be where you get an option to buy on a plot of land, and submit planning permission and then sell your option to buy.   Best Moments ‘Just because some money is needed it doesn't have to be your money.' ‘Don't think that without any savings ‘Money doesn't really exist.' ‘The situation of the homeowner is more important that the ‘Lease option is a really powerful strategy' ‘In a leasehold, you are not buying the house.' ‘People don't want the hassle of managing a property.' ‘There are opportunities to make money in areas where people don't want to do the work.' ‘A tenant-buyer property contract you have the security of ownership.' ‘Buy-to-flip pay an additional 3% stamp duty.' ‘You don't need to buy a house to benefit from planning gain.' ‘Joint venturing is a hugely powerful strategy.' ‘You can exchange your time and knowledge for their money.' ‘Don't pedestalize the money.' ‘The more you network the more money you can make.' ‘One of your greatest assets is the time and willingness.' ‘Ask people to look at your deals before you go to investors.' ‘Don't chase for the money.' ‘Sell through not to.'   About Your Host Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Consistency is King in everything that you do so you don't let success and victory slip away from your hands. In today's episode of The Property Entrepreneur Podcast, Gordon focuses on the topics of tenant profitability and the importance of consistency in everything that you do. In terms of tenant profitability, it pays to know what are the tenant types, what the area's demographics are, and how much profit do you need to be sustainable. It's okay if you have to change up the setup in your property; you have to be observant and strategic, so your property business continues growing. In the last part, we also discuss consistency. Being consistent is a characteristic that should be possessed not just for people in business, but for everyone who wants to improve their career, their relationships, and themselves. All of these will be discussed and more when you tune in! KEY TAKEAWAYS Gordon's highlight of the week: He has been running consistently for the last four months now. His advice is to know your limits and plan accordingly. Don't overdo it. He had a bad experience in a restaurant. It helps everyone that to move up in their career is to have the ‘owner' mindset rather than the ‘worker' mindset. Tenant Profitability You can have a different amount of profits depending on the type of tenants that rent your property. For example, student rental will be lower than a professional rental. Each tenant type has its pros and cons. Make sure to do your research. Remember that you can change your market anytime especially when you're having problems with the current setup. Observe the demand in the area and your needs also. You can work with the Local Council so you can house people on benefit schemes. In business, an avatar is an ideal customer. It's created with a complete background, interests, and specific issues. Think about it so it can be the basis of your plans. Consistency Break down the bigger goals into smaller goals, and always celebrate the small wins. Those small wins also mean that you're getting close and closer to your big goal, so be consistent on getting those small wins. When you take action, make sure to do it regularly – daily, weekly, etc. In the property world, try to see 10 real estate agents a month. If it has become comfortable, then increase the number on the next month. Just remember to do it consistently, so you don't miss out on opportunities. BEST MOMENTS “Just because you can do more, it doesn't mean necessarily that you should.” “When you're in a job, you should be operating in an ‘owner' mindset, not a ‘worker' mindset.” “It's worth having to think about your tenant type and how will that reflect on your strategy.” “If you're not consistent at getting the small wins, then you're not going to achieve those bigger goals.” “It's the consistent actions that take you to the next level.” ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Property Entrepreneur Podcast.
