Ready to stop waiting for that elusive cash fairy and actually make 2025 the year your bank account catches up with your creative talents? Ceri explains how artists and creatives can rewire their financial mindsets to elevate their earnings in 2025. Ceri reveals practical accountability frameworks, goal setting techniques and mindset shifts that turn vague money hopes into tangible results. This episode delivers the financial reality check creative souls desperately need and teaches you how to hack your money mindset. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rewire Your Money Mindset. Say these out loud to yourself: "I can earn money." " I earn money." "I have money." "I spend money." Try saying these out loud every morning for a week. Notice what thoughts come up. Challenge them. Find a ‘Money Mark’. So a friend, colleague or mentor who’s also ready to level up. Here’s how to make it work: Set a financial goal for the year and share it. Meet monthly (or fortnightly) to check in, swap ideas, and keep each other motivated. Call out each other’s limiting beliefs. Use your collective brainpower to spot opportunities, collaborations, and new income streams. Set a Financial Goal and Actually Track It. Be specific, Define Your Number. Identify Your Income Streams the Sh*t Work – If it’s time-consuming, joyless, and underpaid, ditch it. Use a System to track your progress. Set Deadlines and Stay Accountable. Money goals only work if they have deadlines. Break it down like this: Annual goal. Quarterly check-ins. Monthly Milestones. Regular Money Mark meetings. Know Your Worth and Price Accordingly. Your prices should reflect the value you bring, not just the hours you put in. Charging properly doesn’t make you greedy, it makes you sustainable. The right people will pay your rates. Stop Hoping and Start Practising. Here’s the truth: getting better at making money is just like getting better at your creative work, it takes practice. BEST MOMENTS Most of us in the arts have been trained to believe that making money is for other people. That success stories are anomalies. That talking about cash is a bit icky. Money goals only work if they have deadlines. Otherwise, you’ll still be thinking about them in December 2025, wondering where the time went. "Your prices should reflect the value you bring. Price confidently, and your clients will recognise the worth of your offerings." “You’re not bad with money. You just haven’t trained yourself to think about it differently.” EPISODE RESOURCES PODCAST HOST BIO With over 30 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Angela is joined by Peter Sage to discuss the transformative power of auto-suggestion and affirmations as discussed in Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich." They explore the importance of aligning one's heart and mind to effectively reprogram self-beliefs and self-image, and look at the critical role of environment and peer influence in shaping our thoughts and behaviours, highlighting how conformity can impact personal growth KEY TAKEAWAYS Auto-suggestion and affirmations are essential tools for self-development, but they are only effective when there is alignment between the heart and mind. Self-doubt can undermine the impact of affirmations. The people you surround yourself with significantly affect your self-image and beliefs. Being in a positive environment with like-minded individuals can enhance personal growth, while a negative environment can lead to conformity and stagnation. Humans are naturally programmed to conform to their environment. This means that if you are surrounded by negative influences, you are likely to adopt similar behaviours and mindsets, making it crucial to choose your environment wisely. The brain's reticular activating system filters information based on what is deemed important, such as personal relevance or safety. Understanding this system can help individuals focus on what they want to attract into their lives. BEST MOMENTS "Most people are too busy running around in the level that I call by me... you're swimming upstream against the current of life." "Affirmations don't really do anything if your heart and your mind aren't aligned. If you've got any kind of self-doubt, you're basically putting lipstick on a pig." "We don't get to vote on whether or not we get programmed. We only get to vote on how we want to be programmed." "If you're hanging around with people that have low self-esteem, I don't care how great you are walking into that environment. Over time, environment wins."

Listeners are encouraged to invest in themselves by starting small and leveraging compound interest. Steve's expertise and experience provide practical advice for navigating the financial landscape and optimising investment strategies. KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on Income Generation: The key to successful investing is to focus on generating income from your investments rather than just capital appreciation.

Start Investing Early: Begin investing early and harness the power of compound interest to grow your wealth over time. BEST MOMENTS "Most people don't appreciate how cyclical the market is. The stock market is always going up and down. Knowing where you are in the flow of things is crucial."   "Change your focus to income generation. If you're getting income from every security, it's more likely a quality security. Focus on income."  "Every buck you make, every bonus you get, put some of that away and start generating income.

Ryan interviews Sahil Patel, the CEO of Spiralyze. Sahil discusses how SpiralEyes helps businesses improve their website conversion rates through conversion rate optimization. He explains the importance of pattern recognition and AI in identifying successful tests and executing them at high velocity. Sahil also shares insights on their unique pay-for-performance model and the advantages of being a self-funded company. 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 Spiralyze has a pay-for-performance model, allowing clients to pay based on the results achieved, which is a unique approach in the industry. The company runs about 40-50 tests a year for clients, significantly higher than the industry average of 10 tests a year, thanks to automation and AI integration. Spiralyze leverages pattern recognition and AI to identify successful tests across various websites and industries, providing valuable insights for clients. Using tools like ChatGPT, the company streamlines content creation by reducing unnecessary words and improving efficiency in drafting A/B tests. Spiralyze is self-funded and has organically grown to a team of 145 people, showcasing the advantages of bootstrapping in maintaining control over the company's destiny. BEST MOMENTS "Most of our clients on average get about 20 to 30 percent more conversions on their website when they work with us and use our product." "If you want to take and get big wins, you want to take big swings." "I found most marketing campaigns, a lot of the problems can be solved just by removing 30 to 50% of the words." "Sometimes 90% of people leave the site and don't do anything. If you had a restaurant, and 100 people walked in the restaurant, and all but three left, you'd say you have a big problem. And yet every day, generally speaking with B2B websites, that's what's happening. 100 people are coming, 97 of them leave and don't do anything. And it's really expensive to get all that traffic there." "A test that works on someone's paid landing page, paid traffic, has very different characteristics than say organic traffic. So to make a meaningful prediction, it needs to be relevant to the website."

They explore the concept of socialised learning, the benefits of diverse communities, and the impact of storytelling in measuring success. Andy emphasises the power of altruism and the need for high trust cultures to foster effective learning communities. KEY TAKEAWAYS Andy stresses the importance of having a cause at the centre of a learning community to drive engagement and purpose. We must recognise the concept of socialised learning communities being a natural way of learning, rooted in human behaviour and evolution. There is a crucial need for intentional design and facilitation of learning communities to ensure effectiveness and impact. We should embrace the value of diversity in learning communities to foster innovation, problem-solving, and shared expertise. BEST MOMENTS "Most communities that do really well have some kind of rhythm associated with them, where you know what's going to be going on so that you connect with it."  "I think it's quite clear if you said at the start it was about engagement, impact."  "For me, a learning community is a group connected and energized by a cause" VALUABLE RESOURCES The HR Uprising Podcast | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher   The HR Uprising LinkedIn Group How to Prioritise Self-Care (The HR Uprising) How To Be A Change Superhero - by Lucinda Carney HR Uprising Mastermind - https://hruprising.com/mastermind/   www.changesuperhero.com www.hruprising.com            Get your copy of How To Be A Change Superhero by emailing at info@actus.co.uk Andy Lancaster LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/andy-lancaster-ab995418/?originalSubdomain=uk ABOUT THE HOST Lucinda Carney is a Business Psychologist with 15 years in Senior Corporate L&D roles and a further 10 as CEO of Actus Software where she worked closely with HR colleagues helping them to solve the same challenges across a huge range of industries.

Simon analyses the crucial topic of long-term view versus short-term thinking in property investing. Emphasising the significance of mindset, he explores the three attitude adjustments essential for successful property investing: adopting an investor mindset, developing a value attitude, and focusing on long-term view over short-term gains.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Long-term view versus short-term thinking is crucial for property investing success. Mindset plays a significant role in achieving success, focusing on attitude, belief, and courage. Property investing requires patience and a shift from short-term to long-term mindset. Consistent action and trust in the process are essential for long-term success in property investing. Recognise the value of long-term equity growth in property investing and the benefits of holding properties for the long term. BEST MOMENTS "Most people, when they get into property, they might have their own home and they think very much like a home owner, but they need to switch that and start thinking like an investor." "The biggest problem with flipping property is when you sell that property, you crystalise the profit. You're never going to make any more money from that property." "People learn about strategies such as reaching out to landlords via landlord letters. They send a few letters, they don't get the response they want, and guess what? They stop doing it." "By putting the time and effort into your property investing, if you're going to hold that property, you get someone else to manage it for you so you don't have to type all your time looking after it."

Kevin and his team share the various tenant issues they have had over the years. They talk about how to defend yourself against bad tenants including why referencing isn't always enough and reveal the worst tenants they have ever had to deal with. However, let this prepare you, not put you off property as Kevin and his team mostly deal with perfect tenants! KEY TAKEAWAYS  Nightmare tenants usually have a honeymoon period before showing their ‘true colours' Alcohol, drugs and visitors are often the start of many issues. Referencing is key as a first defence against nightmare tenants. Landlords may not always be completely honest about current tenants as they want them to move. If you can find potential tenants on social media that can give you more information to decide on whether to rent to them. Dealing with aggressive tenants is one of the biggest challenges, especially in a HMO situation. You have to deal with bad tenants swiftly or you risk losing the good tenants. Don't give bad tenants an inch or they will take a mile. You need to be fair but firm. Regular inspections can help you combat issues early. BEST MOMENTS   "Most tenants are great but there is always that nightmare tenant that appears every so often” “We use a referencing company, but you will always find a landlord reference doesn't always reflect the truth” “We have over 300 tenancies and very rarely do we have a bad one” “That's not really a bad tenant, that's a tenant with a problem and we as landlords aren't social workers” “If you don't deal with the bad tenant quickly the good ones will leave” "Cat fleas are worse than cats" VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

BEST MOMENTS "Most people aren't educated to know what we're actually eating is not really food. Brainwashed by commercials and this such over the years and years and years." "The body needs to be nourished. And I think a lot of people in today's world, A lot of people actually eat for taste, not for nourishment." "It's very hard to put on muscle. You see it in the gym all the time, right? It's very hard to put on muscle." "Muscle is what is going to give you healthy bones. The only thing that's going to give you strong muscles is strength training."  "All the women they look in the magazines and on show and look great, that they admire, they all lift, they lift intensely."   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.SimoneGisondi.com HOST BIO Meet the remarkable Simone, a seasoned coach, published author, and the dynamic host of The Confidential.

Liam discusses the importance of investing in the UK in 2023, emphasising the need to shift from relying solely on earned income to generating investment income. He explains how investing in the right properties can lead to long-term financial stability and the ability to build a legacy for future generations.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The ultimate goal is to become an investor and make money while you sleep. This requires doing something different while you're awake and understanding where to put your money for long-term growth. Most people rely on earned income from a job or business, which can be risky if there are changes in legislation, business models, or unexpected events. Building investment income is crucial for financial stability and freedom. Property investing is highlighted as a safe and lucrative asset class in the UK. By investing in the right properties in the right locations, individuals can benefit from passive income and capital appreciation. The power of compounding is emphasised, with Warren Buffett stating that it is the eighth wonder of the world. By reinvesting profits and earning consistent returns, individuals can double their money every few years. BEST MOMENTS "Most people don't know what to do. They make money, they spend money. The more they make, the more they spend."  "If you do not find a way to make money while you sleep, you are going to work until you die."  "Income follows assets and one of the reasons that I absolutely love property investing is that you do the work once and you get paid for a lifetime."  "You're building a legacy for your children, your family, your futures."

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In the first of an incredible two-part episode, I talk to Master Coach, Speaker and Mentor Allan Kleynhans. Allan shares his extraordinary life story charting his childhood in the racist and segregated South Africa of the 1960s and 70s, through military service and the horrors of the Angolan Civil War to a life plagued with guilt and shame and inevitable alcohol and substance abuse. Please join me as we look at life through a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS We are all moulded and formed by what we are surrounded by as children. Most people's value systems and beliefs are formed by age 7 and unless this is questioned, they'll continue to see the world in the same way. Witnessing police brutality from a white officer to a black man is what created the long-lasting feeling of being unsafe, a feeling Allan couldn't shake for many years. He lived in a tough neighbourhood and was also bullied at school. Violence was part of daily life. After finishing school, Allan went straight into the military where his exposure to brutal violence continued. After leaving Angola, Allan felt very conflicted by what he had witnessed and been a part of and the religious upbringing he had experienced. A lot of us don't work through our traumatic experiences, we suppress them. Allan discovered after leaving the military, that he needed to learn to process what he had experienced so it wouldn't permanently damage him. Reading Napoleon Hill's classic work, ‘Think and Grow Rich', was the catalyst that made Allan realise he needed to change his life. You can read every book but until you are ready to start to heal yourself it's only knowledge you have, nothing more. Allan attended a Tony Robbins event and incredibly was able to share his story, make Tony cry and even get a hug. Tony advised him to let go of the past and embrace love. We have to let go of all feelings of shame to move forward, shame is directly associated with self-annihilation. BEST MOMENTS ‘Most people will keep living out of the paradigm that they've created in their earliest years' ‘Traumatising experiences are deeply ingrained and we remember them' ‘I became obsessed with learning' ‘Until you can do really deep healing on yourself, it's just stuff, knowledge that you have' ‘I'll never forget it, it was like he [Tony Robbins] poured love into me with his eyes, his intention is really powerful and really pure' ‘That was the first time I felt unconditional love from a human being and this was a stranger' ‘Our shame silences us' ABOUT THE GUEST Bio Allan Kleynhans is a walking lexicon of human development and potential, having studied psychology, philosophy, the behavioural sciences and consciousness for 33 years and counting. His vast knowledge and expertise as a passionate and highly skilled facilitator on the subjects of human behaviour, communication, self-mastery, conscious leadership and spiritual psychology have helped many thousands of people to make significant personal and professional breakthroughs.

Ryan is joined by Joao in this episode. Joao is currently in the middle of a social experiment, where he has made Chat GPT the CEO, co-founder and creator of a company! He talks to Ryan all about the method to building this experiment including the challenges and what has surprised him along the way. Joao and Ryan also talk about the wider conversation on AI including the effect it may have on various industries as well as the human impact. KEY TAKEAWAYS After seeing the concept of using CHAT GBP to educate on building a business Joao wanted to take things further and that's when he decided to launch the social experiment with just $1000 and an hour a day. Within two hours Joao had a business plan and angel investor and so posted about what he was doing on LinkedIn: this post now has over 5 million views! Chat GPT and other AI tools are good for getting you to the ‘average' level in terms of content creation but if you want to excel then you need to differentiate yourself. Remaining authentic and original in his content is important to Joao and so what he focuses on the most is his differentiating elements; a mix of accuracy, humour with some wholesomeness. So many content creators are organically sharing Joao's story, so they are going to lean into this more by looking to influencer marketing next. AI is a double-edged sword, it will help in so many ways and speed up development in new technology, particularly in healthcare and environmental sectors but there are a lot of unknowns around how it will impact labor. BEST MOMENTS “Most challenging thing was definitely managing inbound” “Good copywriters, good storytellers, aren't losing their job, yet” “I want to create content that I will respect, I don't want to use templates to sound like everyone else” “The story is pretty crazy…we're probably the craziest fashion label of 2023” “We are disrupting basically almost everything and the reality is it's a big double-edged sword” “Technology is accelerating ahead of our emotions” Do You Want The Closing Secrets That Helped Close Over $125 Million in New Business for Free?"  Grab them HERE: https://www.whalesellingsystem.com/closingsecrets Ryan Staley Founder and CEO Whale Boss 312-848-7443 ryan@whalesellingsystem.com www.ryanstaley.io  EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.linkedin.com/in/joao-ferrao-dos-santos/?originalSubdomain=pt ABOUT THE SHOW How do you grow like a VC-backed company without taking on investors?

Tim Spector OBE is an award-winning scientist and author, with over 1,000 original articles published in some of the world's top scientific journals placing him in the top 1% most cited scientists on the planet.  In this groundbreaking exposé of an episode, Tim talks to Rob about just why the information you've always been fed about diets and fitness might not be as reliable as you've been led to believe, the scandalous scam at the heart of the industry that profits from your so-called wellbeing, and how you can REALLY take control of your body, your mind and your wellbeing. Revealed: How food information is outdated, and in many cases, comes from pre-war thinking. Exercise isn't the way to lose weight, and neither is eating less fat. Why calorie counting is NOT a successful way to lose weight, and how most printed calorie data is a lie. The scandal that sits at the heart of the food industry - being controlled by money men who want to profit from your diets and fitness regimes. How the politics of cheap food are actually poisoning you rather than helping you Why the supplements you've been sold as “miracle drugs” might just be a waste of money Also featured Why the accepted information on nutrition and fitness is so out of date and behind the times. Why the short-term nature of government has led to a never-ending cycle of malnutrition. Why you should never believe the calorie counts on the food labelling you've been led to trust. BEST MOMENTS "Most of the stuff you hear about in the media are giving us the wrong idea about food and are based on out-of-date concepts from the war. They have no place in our modern world" "Nutrition works very slowly. To get nutritional guidelines in place takes a long time" "It's a scam, it's a scandal. It's certainly rather immoral, and it's been covered up by multiple governments" "Even professionals cannot calorie count. Most of the stuff in restaurants are actually plus or minus 50% because of portion sizes varying" VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team Tim Spector - https://tim-spector.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

On this episode of Build Better Brands, Danielle Clarke is joined by Paul David Perry and William Gadsby Peet, founders of Literal Humans, who have a focus on creating not just resilient brands but brands that are mission-driven and have real values.KEY TAKEAWAYSWe gambled a little, but were thankfully proven right on, as there probably wasn't a better time to start than in the middle of a pandemic. Obviously the first six months were pretty rough, everyone battened down the hatches and no one had any budget. But then everyone realised that the only way we can make money is online and it was a good time to run a content and digital marketing agency because to sell stuff online you need content and digital marketing, so it proved to be a bit of a lucky/strategic masterstroke.The name gets us a lot of mileage, I think it sticks in people's heads and maybe they laugh about it initially, but they ask about it. To be fair, your first job as a marketer when you're starting an agency is to build something memorable, build a memorable brand for yourself that will be sticky in people's minds and thankfully we've accomplished that, I think.SaaS is Software as a Service – Dropbox is SaaS, technically Netflix is SaaS – it's anything you pay a recurring retainer for and in return you get software as a tool, like Adobe, Figma or Canva. With the world we live in today those are the ones that tend to be unicorns. The reason we focus on startups in the SaaS space is they tend to grow very quickly and very interestingly. With regards to mission-driven, we work with people we think are making the world a better place in some regards. We don't work with anyone we think is doing something actively bad and we don't work with anyone we think is not going to be into our style and our marketing, anyone who's going to be too by the numbers, boring, uninterested in what we do. One of the most common things that annoy us about brands is 1) that they've drunk their own Kool-Aid and they think that they've created a revolutionary product, then you use the product and you're like: “Mate, this is just a rip off of something else with slightly different branding and one USP.” Be eyes wide open about what you're selling. 2) No one has any fucking creativity or interest in being risky any more. In the 90s brands' logos and work marks were made, now every single brand copies Apple's; a straight monochrome word mark because everyone would rather be non-offensive than actually inspiring. One of the things we love about our agency and the people we get to work with is they're up for taking risks. They'd rather delight 70% of their market and piss off 30% of it than be a bowl of oatmeal to all 100%. That's one of the biggest things branding is missing at the moment: Risk takers.BEST MOMENTS‘Most marketing is shit. The reason that it's bad is it just talks at people rather than to them. All the best marketing tells a story, treats people like humans and tells a human narrative.'‘Everything we do is for humans by humans.'‘Bad branding is bad branding, I don't think by doing a bad job you should be crucified online. But, you kinda should do it.'‘A principle we laid down early on, and we've seen the data and we just know intrinsically and morally, frankly, that diverse teams perform better. It's not even just about performance, it's the ethical right thing to do in 2020 in one of the most diverse cities in the world.'ABOUT THE GUESTPrior to launching Literal Humans, Paul David Perry worked as a freelance writer and content strategist for a number of different tech brands, including Contentstack, Submittable, TransferWise, and Toptal. He also helped build a previous agency from $500K ARR to $1.5MM ARR in under two years by providing high-quality content strategy + execution across a range of clients and building internal agency systems.

Bob Conlin takes the reins on this episode for the fourth of his regular podcasts focussed on relationships. In this episode Bob talks about relationship goals and how often this is a missed opportunity, that a lot of couples simply don't have relationship goals. Why is that and how do we set a relationship goal? KEY TAKEAWAYS Typically, around the beginning of each year you set goals, those can be new years resolutions, specific results you want to accomplish in the year. It could even be in the next month or week. But, we don't tend to do this for our marriages or relationships, we don't even think about it – not to get married by a certain date, more about intentional conversations about the relationship and our experiences and outcomes. My first goal was to meet my wife. I hadn't met her yet, but my coach brought up the notion of creating a project around meeting my perfect woman, the outcome I wanted. I got to work and was very clear on the woman I wanted to meet: Her physical characteristics, who she was in the world, the experience I wanted to have with her (loved, safe, connected, a partner, that I wanted to be the best version of myself for her and me). Then I transformed them into a goal: I want to meet this woman by this time, which is weird because we don't enter into these things with this kind of plan usually, but it happened. For folks that are already in relationships, we don't often set goals because of the notion that we're in a relationship and it's happened, we're committed, we don't feel like we need to or have to set goals. Start looking at what's the experience that you want to have in your relationship? (more connection, intimacy, laughter, play, excitement and adventure?) That can be the goal, by October 2022 I want to have ‘x' amount of joy in my relationship. Then you've got to get to work, to get to that amount of joy what do you need to do? (More dates, more time together? More time apart?)  If you're in a relationship with someone who's also committed to an experience or specific outcome from the relationship it's a lot more fun, exciting, connected and you get to feel like you're working towards a common outcome. You can also call your partner forward and ask how it's going, where you're lacking or where you're doing really well and celebrate it. BEST MOMENTS ‘Most of us set goals around our career, health and wellbeing, our money but when it comes to our relationships we don't do that. Why not?' ‘We're so convinced that things will happen when they happen or if it's meant to be it will be, but what if you can be 100% in control of this person that I meet and create the circumstances and scenarios in my life that this person will show up into?' ‘When you think about your relationship as a partnership, what do you want to tangibly achieve with this other human being that I'm choosing to love and be in a relationship with?' ‘Go set some relationship goals!'

In this special episode, John talks to Teacher, Coach and Author, Nicholas Janni. Nicholas has a fascinating background. His father was a world-famous film producer, and his mother was one of the first women to gain a scholarship to Oxford University. An impressive family indeed but Nicholas certainly worked extremely hard to get to where he is today. With early influence from his father, Nicholas began his first career in the theatre and worked as a Theatre Director for 20 years. He later left the theatre, creating a consultancy which grew and grew and continues to work with Executives around the world today. Nicholas now teaches at two of the top business schools in the world, University of Oxford's Saïd Business School and the IMD Business School in Switzerland. He has also taken a leap out on his own and has now written a fascinating book entitled ‘Leader as Healer'. Nicholas's book, ‘Leader as Healer', argues that an urgent upgrade is needed in how managers must think and practice leadership. The type of leadership that Nicholas discusses in his book is necessary in a post-COVID world. During this episode, John and Nicholas talk about the importance of introspection, the existing toxicity in many current leaders and how we are moving forward with this with a new type of leadership. John even follows a live teaching practice from Nicholas! Do you use healing to help you lead? Tune in to this episode for a great conversation on modern day leadership.

It can make the biggest difference. If you are a leader and you are running a stressful meeting, are you confident enough to recognise this type of environment and are you comfortable enough to address it and relieve the tension and anxiety in the room?   BEST MOMENTS “Most people have no idea what real listening means for instance, because real listening involves all of my faculties. Not just my thinking. Not just my speaking”. “In essence, I talk a lot about doing and being and we're absolutely over-dominated by doing. We've lost a sense for the most part of being”. “When you're in the presence of a leader who is really present, first of all you feel listened to. You feel received. That's priceless”. “If you're not curious about people, don't be a leader”.   VALUABLE RESOURCES Leadership Revealed Podcast Castledene Sales & Lettings   ABOUT THE HOST John has several Estate and Letting Agencies in the North-East of England.

Paul is joined again by Dr Naboth Namara to talk more about the challenges in Uganda which is less economically developed, doesn't have a fully-developed democracy, without a strong middle-class, and has experienced a civil war in recent years.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Fewer girls access education than boys, especially higher education, and many girls drop out of school because of traditions that continue to hinder their progress in school. It is believed that girls will make good wives even without an education, despite the fact that we know the value of education to women's lives. Most textbooks used in Ugandan school promote male hegemony by including gender insensitive language. Littering is a big problem here too. Rivers are clogged with plastic bottles. People just throw their rubbish on the ground, I pick up litter from the street outside my building all the time. People here need to be educated on the dangers of littering to the environment. I refuse to use plastic bags and bottles and talk to my neighbours about it all the time. The best way to communicate a message is as a role model and to surround yourself with similarly-minded people. If you create a group of ambassadors in a community who think like you they will role model certain behaviours and characteristics that will send a message to the communities. I've seen this work in Rwanda where men talk against violence and violence towards women and it creates impact. It's very difficult to change a mindset, you need to work hard at it and have passion for the message you wish to pass on. You have to develop a strategy as to which issues to deal with first and what message you need to use to reach people as well as the channels you wish to use to reach different audiences – radio, TV, local drama groups even.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Most girls miss school for days each month when they are menstruating because they do not have access to sanitary towels.' ‘Our schools churn out students and graduates who have limited skills for survival, in terms of work, social skills and teamwork skills. Even simple things like asking if you want something, or saying “thank you”. Few are employed.' ‘We must change people's mindsets. I know it's an uphill struggle, but it is the way forward. Societies can still change.' ‘Role-modelling is very important, in my opinion, people learn from you and remember what you say'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Paul's Story: Emerging From The Forest (UK): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Emerging-Forest-Pain-Purpose-Mastering/dp/1719373272 Paul's Story: Emerging From The Forest (USA): https://www.amazon.com/Emerging-Forest-Pain-Purpose-Mastering/dp/1719373272 Mastering The Game Of Life Book (UK): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mastering-Game-Life-Paul-Lowe/dp/1782227679 Mastering The Game Of Life Book (USA): https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Game-Life-Paul-Lowe/dp/1782227679 Speaking From Our Hearts Books: Volumes 1-3 (Available on Amazon) World Game-Changers Group   ABOUT THE GUEST Dr Naboth Namara holds a PhD from the University of Limerick in Ireland.

Creator of Teach Voice and one half of The Naked Vocalist, Chris Johnson discusses vocal registers and keeping your dynamic range long term. He also explains abduction and adduction and explores the TA/CT dominance debate.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Chris recognised the need to create a course dedicated to vocal registers after listening to the opinions of a lot of different people in the vocal coaching community. Many teachers change their views and understanding of pedagogy as more information and research comes out about the voice.  Chris recommends teachers make time to stay up to date with the latest voice research. Abduction: The vocal folds abduct (come apart) in order to let air in and out of the lungs during breathing. Adduction: The vocal folds may adduct (come together) to trap air in the lungs. They may also adduct to vibrate to produce vocal sound. The TA/CT debate is a little problematic. TA-dominance is responsible for chest voice quality and CT-dominance is responsible for head voice quality as the vocal folds become either thick and short or thin and lengthened.

It's official Rihanna is now worth 1.2 billion! Why should you care? Because if people understood the tactics and mindsets of billionaires they would actually end up being able to create more value for the world. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Rob doesn't believe people understand how to create sustainable money and how to create sustainable income. If they did, there would be more billionaires in the world creating a better place to live in. Rhianna has commercialised and monetised her personal brand and it is the success of this that has actually created most of her wealth.

A motivating, energetic and inspiring episode, Rob speaks to ‘one of the coolest people he has met on clubhouse' Loren Ridinger. They talk all about Loren's billion dollars a year in sales e-commerce business, her journey from the start as well as her mindset and attitude towards life. KEY TAKEAWAYS  When Loren first started her e-commerce company with her siblings back in 1992 she really struggled. There wasn't a strong belief in internet sales and the role of computers in many industries. She had to battle against a lot, this was the start of her mindset and attitude towards life and business. One of Loren's biggest tips to those thinking of starting a business, is to think about what makes you stand out from everybody else. What separates you from the rest and why should people buy your product? Loren doesn't allow negative people around her. She believes that life is too short and too precious to not spend time with positive people. Most people do not place enough emphasis on the people they spend time with. Removing people from your life can be freeing and allow you to do what is good for you, what you need to move forward and achieve the things you want. As humans we have a tendency to exaggerate things and make things seem like bigger issues than they actually are. Putting things into perspective is what helps Loren stay on track in life and prevent both overwhelm and stress. BEST MOMENTS   “Most people didn't have computers” “People would rather tell you why it won't work than why it will work” “So we all came together, that's all we had”  “You wanna know you are hanging around with the right people” “Worrying accomplishes nothing…stop and take a deep breath and realise nothing happens overnight” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks     ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Paul is joined by Paul ‘PK' Kelly once more to discuss how we can look at changing three areas of our lives; health, relationships with others and wealth, to create a better world for ourselves. This conversation covers the intrinsic need to look after your health and create positive, attainable goals so you're planning for the future instead of constantly living for the moment and getting overwhelmed. KEY TAKEAWAYS You can have wealth and good relationships, but without health it doesn't really mean anything. You need to have all three to have a fulfilling life. It's often the one thing that's missing that is the most vital. People work every hour they can to accumulate sums of money to, in theory, improve their lives, but this can often be at the detriment of their health. You won't be able to enjoy your retirement if you've worked yourself to the bone. Often, we don't get the time to think about where we're at and where we want to go. It's good to set out some strong intentions or declaring affirmations for the next three months where we can focus on improving our mental health, creating space to relax, minimising contact with negative people and situations. Don't get stuck in the moment. It's about finding the right people to work alongside who have the same flow and energy as you and who live by the same rules, who are content and want to help others. BEST MOMENTS ‘Most people spend their life chasing wealth but in later life spend that on their health.' ‘The real wealth is health.' ‘Do everything in a balanced manner.' ‘Make things simple.'

From starting primary school, Paul was always a keen sportsman, excelling at swimming, football, chess and cricket, and establishing himself as a regular in the Nottinghamshire (UK) cricket set-up, his grandmother decided to give Paul the opportunity to go to a private school to play his beloved sport; something he continued in Australia. On his return to England, Paul was attacked after a night out and hospitalised, suffering temporary blindness, a double fractured skull and memory loss. After 10 days in a coma, he awoke and started to rebuild his life: but encountering severe depression, suicidal thoughts, paranoia and heavy drinking binges. With the help of family, the NHS, friends, and cricket friends, step-by-step, Paul began the road to recovery and happiness – a 25-year roller-coaster journey.

This is BRAND NEW content taken from Rob's brand and marketing mastermind on content repurposing! If you have been listening and following Rob for a while you will have heard him talking about omnipresence and content repurposing, but he has never gone into depth on the layers and structures of it – learn all about this, including hacks and tips to get you started in this episode!   KEY TAKEAWAYS    Omnipresence is creating the illusion that you are posting unique content on all social media platforms when in fact you are actually creating one ‘master' piece that you are then repurposing. A few years ago, just using the exact same content in the same format and sharing it across platforms was enough. Now the platforms and algorithms know when this is being done and your reach will be impacted. You may hear that you should focus your attention on the platform where your ideal clients are. But how do you find out what this is and compare? If you use omnipresence and content repurposing effectively this can show you where your ideal clients are and how to market to them! If you can take your original piece of content and make edits in app this is a sure way to trick the algorithms on various social media apps to thinking you have made original content. This means your content will get more reach.   BEST MOMENTS    “Most normal people do not have 12 hours a day to create unique content” “Make sure you find out where your clients found you originally so you can go back to those places or market to those places” “If you edit in app you get more reach”   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks     ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Zoe Clark, osteopath and educator with a special interest in Axial SpA talks about the condition and how although it affects around 1 in 200 people in the UK currently the average time frame from getting symptoms to diagnosis is eight and half years. As a professional treating patients Zoe is also someone with Axial SpA and in this episode offers great advice and information on this condition, a common cause of non -specific back pain and discusses both the symptoms that can be indicators and the possible reasons there is such a lack of awareness leading to the very extended diagnostic timeframe. As always with The Back Pain Podcast, there is great content that will help anyone increase their understanding   KEY TAKEAWAYS Axial SpA is a type of inflammatory arthritis and is generally inflammation in the body One of the first symptoms can be back pain and it affects 1 in 200 people in the UK Axial SpA is the umbrella term and MRI scans now help identify the specifics With inflammatory back pain, the symptoms usually get worse when you are still and better when you move Axial SpA can affect different areas of the body including the skin and the digestive system Putting your shoes and socks on can be the point when you experience pain Blood tests combined with symptoms and X rays all help with diagnosis The average time, in the UK from getting symptoms to diagnosis, is eight and half years A combination of factors contribute to the extended diagnostic timeframe It's a common condition in the general public but there is a lack of awareness with people putting their symptoms down to injury Most people take anti-inflammatory medication Exercise and movement are the best things you can do. Find something you love and do it regularly Lots of people find manual therapy really helpful Stopping smoking will make a huge difference Smoking increases the risk of joint changes and other health conditions and the effectiveness of medications Give yourself time to process and accept the diagnosis   BEST MOMENTS ‘Most people manage with anti-inflammatory medication combined with exercise' ‘If there is one thing you should do with Axial Spa it is to stop smoking ‘NASS is a great source of information and resources for anyone with Axial SpA'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast website The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link Our Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bx Our Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9Z Second Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeA XLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZB Studio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LE Laptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafT Our webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ  NASS website   ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliot Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.

Shaz answers the question about whether to pay off your mortgage if you have the cash. It can be easy to think that not having the debt is what everyone would want but as Shaz explains there are other options to consider. He shares some of the options that anyone with the cash may want to look at instead of paying off the mortgage and reflects mindset and that ultimately everyone will need to make a choice that works for them.   KEY TAKEAWAYS How you feel about debt is a personal thing and influenced by how you have been brought up. Your relationship with debt depends on your mindset From a financial point of view on an interest only mortgage its dependant on what you do with the money.

This is a slightly quirky, but fascinating podcast from Rob. If you have ever wondered why the UK personal tax year starts on April 6th instead of January 1st as it does in so many other countries, Rob has the answer. It is more complex and interesting than you could ever imagine, it involves a pope, a king, and 11 lost days. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS In the 15th century, the UK´s year was divided into 4 quarters starting on the 25 of December, March, etc. The 25th of March was the start of the year. At that time, the Julian calendar was used by the UK. Whereas Europe used the Gregorian calendar which aligned with the lunar year. After several hundred years of the UK using a different calendar, they were out of sync with Europe by 11 days. The treasury´s efforts to realign the UK with Europe is what created today´s tax year start. Just listen to the podcast to get the full story.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Most of the world, quite sensibly… chooses to have their taxes start on New Year´s Day.' ‘March 25th, Ladies day that was the start of the new year (UK).' ‘Everyone adopted the Gregorian calendar. However, England at the time did not do so.'   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.

Nobody could have predicted that a mini property boom would have happened during a global pandemic in 2020. With that in mind Co-founder of Progressive Property, Mark Homer takes over today's podcast with his property predictions for 2021. Mark discusses why many retailers are moving to the outskirts of the city, a possible stamp duty exemption extension and why we are likely to see a rise in single let properties as unemployment rates rise.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The pandemic has had a huge effect on many industries, especially retail. Many retailers are moving into warehouses on the outside of town to fulfil their customers' needs for online purchasing. Despite what most of the property experts said, the property is gone up significantly this year.   Many people want to move to different sized homes in different locations as they are not having to commute as far with the pandemic. In addition to this, a stamp duty exemption has reignited the market and pushed it on. The stamp duty exemption ends in march, however, there is talk of it being extended.   Focusing on whether the property is going up or down is the wrong thing to be looking at. You need to be looking at strategies that work in all markets because it is unpredictable. Nobody knows what will happen to interest rates or government support, which has given support to the employment and property market.   The residential housing markets (specifically single lets and HMO's) are likely to see increased tenant demand in 2021 because unemployment is predicted to rise and people will likely decide to rent instead of buy. This is likely to push rent up and reduce voids.   The further into the year we go it is likely that house prices and stock markets get a significant lift as the value of money decreases. The prices of consumer goods and everything that goes into the basket for the retail prices index is not likely to lift that much if it did quantitative easing would be reduced significantly and interest is likely to go up. However, it is more likely that asset prices are likely to increase.   Lessons learned from 2020 taught us that things can only get better. It also taught us that people can have a very short term mindset, there were much more motivated sellers in the last recession and there were many more property deals to do because there were so many sellers that needed to offload to raise cash. After the market came back, property prices rose.   BEST MOMENTS “Most experts were predicting either a shallow fall or a crash.” “It is something that you nor anybody else can get an answer for.” “This is a good thing for poetry investors as it lifts the value of your asset.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/user/progressivepropertyhttps://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003. He is a system and spreadsheet geek and has developed a complex, confidential deal analyser system of buying residential, commercial and multi-let properties.

Most people think that you need cash to start and grow your business. WRONG, there are many things far more important than cash and in today's episode of The Money podcast, Rob shares with you 7 key fundamentals for building a sustainable business without focusing simply on cash. Listen in and learn the true value of your follows and fans, why information is now a commodity worth more than money and how technological and digital opportunities are changing the way we do business, reduce friction and better serve our customers and clients.   New Book Launch - 3rd December 2020 ‘Reinvent Yourself' With Gerald Ratner   Check out Rob's supporter Facebook programme for more exclusive updates, lessons and courses on entrepreneurship, business, mindset, money and more. bit.ly/Robsupporter   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Your follows fans and subscribers are much more of a currency to your business than money. In theory, each subscriber, opt-in or follower is worth a minimum £1 per year to your business. Cash in your company comes and goes but once you've secured a follower, fan or subscriber you've got them for life.   Information is far more powerful than money. Information is now a commodity in business that you can trade, give and offer your customers, clients, followers and fans. The more information you can learn, the more information you can monetise through courses, teaching, practices and events and as a result you will become an expert and an authority.   Technology that makes our lives faster, easier, better and more integrated is far more valuable than money. The tech available to your business to optimise, systemise and revolutionise is only growing exponentially and bringing about more opportunities for growth.   Building your business brand, personal brand and ensuring goodwill in the mindset of your audience is worth much more to your business than money. If you can be in the mind space of your customers when they think about a product or service in your niche then you will grow your business rapidly. Trust with your audience and your customers is the greatest currency to have in business. Money loves and follows trust and if you can build up trust in all areas of business by servicing your customers and solving problems you will see acquire more partnerships, sponsorships and collaborations.     BEST MOMENTS   “Most people think that you need money to make money” “There are many more assets to make cash that cash” “We're moving towards a cashless society” “Much of my revenue comes from my books and my content. It comes from the content I produce.” “Where you can use technology to remove friction you will speed up the payment process for your customers” “Technology mixed with digital is the future and you need to embrace it.” “A trust or reputation can take 10+ years to build”   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter MONEY BOOK   ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

The Endurance Physio, Mike James joins Dave and Rob to look at how to avoid injury, train successfully for the events you want to take part in and share some myth-busting in this fascinating episode. Mike explains how anyone can train for and take part in endurance events if they understand how to be consistent and what their starting point is. He discusses the most common types of injuries and why it's vital to put in the preparation and perfect each step of training consistently before reaching for the marginal gains along with great advice on exercises that will make the difference   KEY TAKEAWAYS You can be either a robust or fragile athlete. Those who are fragile athletes just need to be more consistent. People pick up the most injuries because they attempt to nail marginal gains before they have perfected the first 95% In endurance athletes 75% -85% of injuries will be lower limb, soft tissue non-traumatic and overuse, the other 25% will be traumatic, upper body associated with falls. With tissue it's not the load, it's the load you are not prepared for. People sometimes pick up injuries through doing something different. With endurance sport, any treatment will be about preparing for load. Sometimes you need to stop but it is usually about modifying the movement. Having a wide range of activities will benefit backpain. Every patient I see can go on and self-manage. Changing too quickly can cause overload for endurance athletes. Most problems with endurance athletes come from being too keen, to eager and naïve. Coaches can make a difference if you get a good coach with the right program for you. Cardio is king but the secret is the timing of training across the year. It's about creating stability, robustness and different load through the tissues You can only benefit from the training you are resting from and you can improve recovery by making sure the training is of the right intensity.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Most people get injured through simple errors and lack of consistency' ‘People try to accelerate through their apprenticeships' ‘Endurance athletes have poor beliefs about it all being about the amount of time and miles they do in training'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheendurancePT Twitter - https://twitter.com/theEndurancePT https://www.instagram.com/the_endurance_physio/?hl=en     ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliot Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.

Alex is discussing the ways in which humans seek to find an expression of immortality through legacy. He explains how a legacy can be achieved in different areas of anyone's life and why realising that all human beings yearn for an expression of immortality means you can be more motivated about how you spend your life.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Its universally accepted that there are 7 areas in your life; spiritual, mental, career, financial, family, social and physical being There is a universal acceptance there is something out there beyond ourselves. It is important to realise there is an expression of our immortality beyond our physical being. People want to be remembered and will seek to achieve a legacy in different ways. A realisation of the yearning of expression of immortality will mean you can begin to be more motivated about how you spend your life and the legacy you create.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Most people want to be remembered, to pass on the torch beyond their physical lives' ‘People like Gandhi and Mother Theresa have left legacies that continue on beyond their lives' ‘All of us, as human beings, yearn for an expression of our immortality'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Business, Wealth and Mindset podcast series   ABOUT THE HOST   Alex is a prize-winning chartered accountant with experience in financial markets from trading finance, capital hedging, structural foreign exchange and interest rates to operational risk from the world's top financial and advisory institutions including Deloitte, RBS and JPMorgan Chase Alex has been involved in property development programmes across different types since 2008, building and managing a portfolio that includes standard buy-to-lets, student accommodation and other houses in multiple occupancy (HMOs).

Alex explores the work of John Demartini on values - how we live by the things we value, the things we hold dear. When  we live our lives to our highest values there is no need for outside motivation but when it comes to the things lower on our list of values we may procrastinate. If you can understand what are your highest values then you can effectively link goal setting to those values and know you will be motivated to achieve.   KEY TAKEAWAYS It's important to understand what your values are and then you can link your goals to your highest values and know that you will be motivated to achieve them. Our ability to adapt to the constant change of life is key to being able to meet our goals The fear of losing support can make it hard to adapt to change. The fear of our values being challenged can make individuals anxious and reticent about any change. Individuals will have a selective bias towards things that are high value to them and have high levels of attention, intention and retention towards those things. For those things that are of low value, there will be a deficit of attention, intention and retention. When you understand what are you high-value areas you can use this to drive your attention and intention. It is vital to understand there must be a balance and our intuition plays an important part in achieving this.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Most entrepreneurs are born in periods of challenge' ‘You need to achieve a balance but some level of chaos can be the stimulus for change' ‘We progress and are at ease with things that are high on our values'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Business, Wealth and Mindset podcast series   ABOUT THE HOST   Alex is a prize-winning chartered accountant with experience in financial markets from trading finance, capital hedging, structural foreign exchange and interest rates to operational risk from the world's top financial and advisory institutions including Deloitte, RBS and JPMorgan Chase Alex has been involved in property development programmes across different types since 2008, building and managing a portfolio that includes standard buy-to-lets, student accommodation and other houses in multiple occupancy (HMOs).

Are you stopping people talking to you, without realising you are stopping people talking to you? It's very easy to do this by the way you act and communicate but communicating with others is one of the most important things we do. Colin offers some great practical advice about the things you should be taking into account when you communicate with others in the workplace. If you want your business to be one with good communication then listen to this podcast and find out how to communicate well so that your message is heard. Businesses that communicate well do better and that's a fact! so get started now.   KEY TAKEAWAYS How we can get things wrong Communication is a 2-way street and we often don't listen properly to others - it's annoying if you are talking to someone and their attention wanders. Focus on the person who is communicating with you -  pay attention to them Ask the question in a different way -  this is communicating without putting pressure into the equation. There could be a language barrier or the technical terminology can be confusing - keep it clear and concise. It could be down to people's expectations and prejudices - they don't hear what's being said or you can go in having already decided on the outcome. There can be differences in views which may lead to conflict - when people want to get their own point across they stop listening to others. There may be physical challenges -  such as hearing problems What can be done? When you are putting the message out  - be very clear, very concise, keep the message simple and to the point. Make the message appropriate for the listener -  you may communicate verbally then back it up with a visual or something else that helps to explain. Communication is also about listening and this is the area most people get wrong Try active listening techniques; Give affirmations as they are speaking. Ask a question so they have an opportunity to reaffirm their message Reaffirm what they have said so they know that they have been listened to Give people in the workplace the time and go out and have some great conversations   BEST MOMENTS ‘Most conflicts arise because of a lack of communication' ‘Bad decisions are made because people don't communicate properly' ‘In businesses that do communication well you are raising the expectation for the level of communication and  if it drops people quickly begin to criticise   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Interesting Health & Safety Podcast   ABOUTTHE HOST Colin'sBiography   ‘Making health and safety as important as everything else we do.'

Yes, money does buy your happiness, but it doesn't buy you fulfilment! It's true that money can buy a lot of things that will make you happy, and that's okay if you do it. But, today on the Money Podcast, Rob encourages you that instead of chasing for your own happiness, aim for fulfilment. You'll feel fulfilled if you start creating, earning, and spending money not just for you, but for others. Learn the difference between selflessness and selfishness. Money can be the basis of your happiness, but develop it alongside other things, like love, relationships, and personal development so you'll truly feel happy and fulfilled. Listen in now to know more! KEY TAKEAWAYS If you use money as the metric of your happiness, then you'll never really feel that you're happy. The ceiling will keep on raising up, and you'll always think that you're not reaching it. Having a lot of money, having a nurturing environment, and having a healthy mind, body, and soul can all happen to you. You don't have to pick one or two from these; you can have it all. If your pursuit of money is rooted in greed, power, and selfishness, then you'll never be happy. But, if you want to get more money so you can help others, then you'll achieve not only happiness but also fulfilment. BEST MOMENTS “Most of the time, you'll probably be happier when you're rich.” “You need way more money than you used to to be happy and be comfortable.” “Fulfilment is ‘Do you love what you do and do what you love.'” “The more you build, the more you get to give away.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Money Podcast iTunes | Omny ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is the host of the UK's no. 1 business podcast “The Disruptive Entrepreneur,” as well as an entrepreneur, property investor, property educator, and holder of 3 world records for public speaking.

Would you like to network with 12,000 like-minded property investors? Learn from some of the most experienced, and successful property entrepreneurs in the world? Then the 10x Superconference is for you. Kevin interviews one of the speakers at this year's conference, which is all but sold out, co-founder of Progressive Property Mark Homer. Mark talks about his journey into property, what are the best strategies at the moment and what he's going to be talking about in his presentation at the conference. If you're looking for a reason to book your ticket to the conference, then listen ahead to this fascinating interview with Mark Homer.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Most of my time is spent doing property deals, running our property business. I've bought, sold and refurbished over 800 properties. At the moment I'm doing a lot of commercial conversions into residency. I help oversee our letting agency and the numbers for the business.     Why property? It's all about the returns. When you're talking about property things start and finish with return on capital invested. There are lots of leverage you can get on one single let, compared with other investment types. I'm doing more and more, larger buildings where you can get a return of 25-30% back on a property. Not many other investments would give the same returns as property.     I started with small terrace houses. I was buying, refurbishing, and building up my portfolio. I graduated into bigger buildings, and HMO's. It's been a fifteen-year journey for me where I've ended up doing more and more commercial conversions from pubs and empty buildings.     What's your preferred strategy? This is very much based on things that are of their time. I've recently gradually started doing more and more commercial conversions around putting a retailer on the ground floor and converting the higher floors into flats for example. Often the projects I do are opportunity-led and of its time.     Whose has been your inspiration? In terms of residential and property, I would say Andreas Panayiotou. I think he ended up owning thousands of properties in London over the years. In terms of investors, I do think Warren Buffet is great. I love his long-term attitude to investing and he compounds his returns.     Why do you think you should attend the Superconference? I've moved on in my journey because I've learnt from other people. I've learnt how to do the tax, contractors and others. At this conference, there will be 12,000 other property investors in the room and the speakers. Grant Cardone portfolio is nearly a billion dollars. We are all doing different things.    What are you going to be talking about at the Superconference? Lots of things are changing in our economy at the moment and I'm going to be talking about how we can take advantage of the uncertainty. I'm going to go through a couple of case studies which I'm working on at the moment.     Is there 'one' really exciting thing about the Super-conference? In terms of finding the right commercial buildings, finding the right partners and finance. I think people will hopefully get a lot of interesting different things. There will be a lot of different mindset of things there with Grant Cardone. I'll be speaking and learning about different strategies.     Top three benefits of attending the Super-conference? Property starts and finishes with income, and cash flow, replacing that income. Networking with other people and are like-minded. How inspiration is it to have all these speakers who are coming,     What has property done to 10x your life? 10x is different to me than for others. For me, it's around commitment but growing in stages and making mistakes at the right level. As soon as you know everything and you have the right data it's vital to scale up. If you know it works you need to make sure that you scale it up to make it work.     BEST MOMENTS ‘Most of my time is spent doing property deals.'  ‘The returns are really good.'  ‘The stock market is harder to get right.'  ‘I like turning older properties that haven't got use into residential properties.'  ‘Often the best time is now to get into property.'  ‘Don't extend yourself at the minute as we are in the second half of the cycle.'  ‘Warren Buffet has been a big inspiration for me. He reads for hours everyday.'  ‘The experience and knowledge is deep in lots of different niches.'  ‘There are lots of different options even if you don't have any money.'  ‘I met lifelong friends at the last conference.'  ‘Always invest locally.'  ‘Try and avoid scattergun approach.'  ‘Try and find the best letting agent.'  ‘If you go to a new town you have to learn everything all over again.'  ‘You can make millions of pounds in one deal.'  ‘If you don't know the detail, and start from the bottom you can lose out.'  ‘Everyone is always learning.'  ‘The inspiration you will get from all these people.'  ‘You have to work hard and work smart.'  ‘Get into your niche and be the best at whatever that is.'  ‘I've moved on in my property journey by learning from others.'    VALUABLE RESOURCES www.10xsuperconference.com     ABOUT YOUR HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Learning does not stop once you're out of school. Every individual should be continuously learning and growing each day of his life! In this latest episode of the Property Entrepreneur Podcast, Gordon talks about over-refurbing your property and continuous learning. When refurbing your property, it's important that you know the set or typical standards in the area so your property can compete, if not steal a march on, with other properties. Discover the checklist of tasks you should do during the refurbing stage. Lastly, we talk about how important it is to expose yourself to the old and new people, ideas, and other stuff to improve yourself. Gordon also shares his vacation-slash-personal development trip in Jamaica so make sure to tune in! KEY TAKEAWAYS Gordon's highlight for the week: Gordon chose to go on a holiday to explore, enjoy, and learn new things. He recorded this episode while waiting to board his flight at the JFK airport. Refurbing Your Property When you purchase your property, there might be a chance that you need to refurb it. It could range from little (e.g. painting some scratches on the wall) to a ton of work (e.g. building a new kitchen) Think about what will be your property strategy when you're at the refurbishing stage. Know who can be the possible tenants. Look at similar properties around the area to see what they're offering too. Exposure and Continuous Learning To achieve continuous learning, you have to expose yourself to new people and new ideas. The two reasons why Gordon went and enjoyed Jamaica: holiday and personal development. If you plan on growing a certain skill or knowledge, there are conferences, seminars, or forum you can attend to where you can hear from and collaborate with people in the field. Read books (fiction or non-fiction), news, or any resources, may it be print or online. There's a high chance that you'll be learning new stuff whatever it will be. Do it at your own pace. Listen to podcasts or watch videos online. BEST MOMENTS “Most properties need something doing with them. It's just kind of what level you do that refurb.” “It's important that you continuously expose yourself to new ideas, new people, and new ways of doing things.” “Taking that time out to consciously learn and grow is really important. And, I don't think any of us do.” “Incorporate something in regularly so you're always learning something new and always growing.” ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Property Entrepreneur Podcast. We don't know about you, but we're fed up of being broke and relying on exchanging time for money working for others. Join Gordon Done on his journey to becoming a full-time property investor.

It doesn't matter if you're completely new to property or you've been working in property for years; we'll give you the tools you need to create a mindset for success.

This episode sees Rob interviewing Matt, asking key questions that reveal what a Property Sourcer does and how they can be useful to investors. Through his answers, Matt provides us with the tools needed to seek out the right Property Sourcer and know what to expect from the process. The Property Nomad's aim is that after listening to this podcast, you will be able to define the purpose and (vital) role that a Property Sourcer can play in your investment power team.   Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad   KEY TAKEAWAYS What is a Property Sourcing Agent? Property Sourcing is the activity by which deals are found, negotiated and packaged by a Property Sourcer to then be sold to a Property Investor for a fee. The person who carries out these actions is the Property Sourcing Agent. Why would someone want to use a Property Sourcing Agent? An investor might not have the time to source properties, but has the cash to utilise a Property Sourcer to help out. They can find the property, potentially project manage the refurbishment with their own team and then manage the let. How can it be ensured that the information that a Property Sourcer is giving is correct information? Ensure you carry out due diligence – do a background check on them and ask about previous deals they've done. If you don't know the area, make sure you check any figures and comparables they give you. Who should a Property Sourcer be affiliated with? A reliable and reputable Property Soucer should: Be registered with the 'Property Ombudsman' or the 'Property Redress Scheme' as this provides security in the event of any disputes. Have professional indemnity and public liability insurance providing further protection Be registered with the ICO to ensure compliance with GDPR regulations. Be registered with HMRC for anti-money laundering.   How can you find a Property Sourcer? Word-of-mouth recommendations are the most effective way. Or visit chosen area and attend property network events as Property Sourcer's will be there. Use social media platforms e.g. LinkedIn which allows you to pinpoint Property Sourcer's in particular areas. What does the process look like? The signing of Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and proof of funds is required by the Sourcer initially. The investor will then receive any deals. When a deal is agreed, the investor provides 2 forms of identification and an agreed reservation fee is paid to secure the deal. A Memorandum of Sale is sent to both solicitors to indicate deal will go ahead.  BEST MOMENTS “Most property sourcers offer orientation days, also known as investor days” “Even if you are not going to go forward using a property sourcer, leveraging their investor days is going to move you forward more quickly.”” “A Property Sourcer can be an important part of your power team.” “Level of communication is essential.” “Communication and transparency is key for both parties.” “Build a relationship with Sourcer before you use their services.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Nomads Podcast series: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-property-nomads-podcast/id1440016017?mt=2 ABOUT THE HOSTS Rob Smallbone and Matt McSherry, the hosts of The Property Nomads Podcast, are on a global mission to guide your success.

Welcome back to the Progressive Property Podcast. In this latest episode your host Peter Jones, takes a look at some of your questions and tries to answer them. Peter answers questions on which regions are good for property investments, do you need to relocate as an investor and actually where do investors buy property? With fascinating and insightful answers Peter gives you some really key info for anyone interested in property at whatever stage of your career? Key Takeaways Can Any Region Of the UK Work for a Property Investor? Yes, there will be deals everywhere. Peter recommend researching which property strategies works in your region. HMO's, serviced accommodation and commercial refurbishments will work in most regions. The only strategy which is more region is buy-to-let's through the BRR model which can be difficult in some regions such as London. Returns in London might be 3 or 4% which is hard to sustain cash flow. Do You Need To Relocate? No, can you find a JV partner, who can help you source the area for you and help you find properties. Sometimes you can do this from a distance, or you can relocate but you don't have to. People do relocate into different regions but like all these things it depends on your circumstances and your strategy. Where Do Investors Buy Property From? This does depend on your strategy, as different strategies will dictate your different options. For example, with buy-to-lets, you can go to Estate Agent which is a really simple, easy way to find properties. There is more than enough properties to cover different investors in your area. Your job as an investor is to go through the detail and make sure the numbers add up. There are other more creative ways to find properties such as gorilla marketing as you are going directly to the vender. Property auctions can be helpful but if you're new to property it can be difficult as there is a lot of groundwork beforehand. You can pay out a lot of fees before the auction and still not get a single bid in. How Can I Spot A Good Area? What Signs Are There That The Values Will Rise In The Area? An area is only a good area if your strategy works in that specific area. It doesn't matter if your prices are going up if your strategy doesn't work. Then it's not a good area. There is an argument that property investors should focus on cash flow rather than capital values, higher values aren't always helpful. Individuals investors can't change the market. Infrastructure and the geography of the city with the relation to the suburbs, such as areas which are improving can all affect the market.   Are There Other Ways Of Making Money From Property Not Just Buying and Selling? Yes, there are other ways like packaging up properties or sourcing properties. Some of the properties that we look at and don't buy it might work for other people. Not everyone wants to be a professional investor. Some people would like a small extra income. You can do the deal and then sell the deal on. Another reason might be when you have a large number of properties you could set up your own Letting Agency. Another way is to educate people in property through mentoring for example. Should I Only Buy Properties Near Where I Live? There are advantages to buying near where you live, as you know the local area, the potential suburbs which you can use and it cuts down on travel time. You are leveraging yourself in that regard. There is a downside however in that you run the risk of managing these properties and getting bogged down in tenant complaints for example. Purchasing at a distance forces you to allow others to manage your properties. It can be helpful to buy near where you live, but not necessarily. Best Moments ‘Most strategies work in most regions. Except for buy-to-lets through BRR.' ‘Your options are always dependant on your strategy.' ‘If something is easy and something is hard always try the easy first.' ‘Make sure you do your due diligence.' ‘It doesn't matter if your prices are going up if your strategy doesn't work then it's not a good area.' ‘Cashflow is the foundation of everything.' ‘Values tend to go up with improvements to infrastructure like a new road, or a new business.' ‘The past can be a good guide to the future.' ‘We all buy for different reasons.' ‘Many people would like to be mentored by someone only a few steps ahead rather than someone light years ahead.' ‘You have to buy property that works for you.'
