Hazel is joined by David Roberts, CEO and founder of Business With Purpose. David shares his extensive experience in the business world, discussing his journey from taking a startup to eight figures, to mentoring other CEOs and investing in purpose-driven businesses. KEY TAKEAWAYS Purpose-Driven Business: Successful businesses should focus on solving customer problems and creating a positive impact, rather than solely prioritising profit. Reconnecting with the original purpose of the business is essential for sustained engagement and success. Employee Engagement: A significant portion of the workforce is disengaged, which can negatively impact both employee satisfaction and business performance. Creating a workplace where employees feel valued, challenged, and part of a larger mission can enhance productivity and morale. Leadership and Self-Awareness: Effective leadership involves understanding one's strengths and weaknesses, and being able to regulate emotional responses. Leaders should take responsibility for their actions and decisions, recognising that their behavior sets the tone for the entire organisation. Focus on Priorities: Productivity can be maximised by identifying the most important tasks and completing them first. Utilising frameworks like the 12-week year can help individuals and teams maintain focus and achieve their goals more effectively. Freedom as Choice: True freedom encompasses the ability to make choices about how to spend time and pursue one's purpose. This involves balancing necessary tasks with enjoyable activities, and recognising that freedom can evolve over time as personal and professional goals change. BEST MOMENTS "About 80% of people are not engaged in their work... it puts pressure on the economy and means that businesses are missing all of that discretionary effort." - David Roberts "People want four main things from work: to be rewarded, to have a sense of achievement, to grow, and to be part of something." - David Roberts "If every problem is a leadership problem, then the biggest problem that leaders need to learn to solve is how to regulate their emotional reactions." - David Roberts "Freedom is choice... being able to choose how you use your time is, for me, what freedom is." - David Roberts "Wealth is not just about money... focus on the meaning, focus on the mission, and the money will follow." - David Roberts VALUABLE RESOURCES Click Here To Book Your FREE 30 Minute Clarity Call HERE... https://calendly.com/thefreedomclub/30min DAVID ROBERTS INFORMATION Join David's Business With Purpose community: http://bit.ly/BWPCommunity ABOUT THE HOST Having started her career as a professional, classical musician, Hazel de Kloe also had a personal quest to become financially free.  She and her husband built a successful, multi-million-pound property business, next to their own careers, but soon realised that true freedom doesn't JUST come from being financially independent… Having meant so much to her family, it has been her passion ever since, to inspire, educate and empower others on their journeys towards this 'Holy Grail'.  During one particular property mentoring session back in 2009, she had a powerful recognition of exactly how to facilitate this.

Hazel talks about the importance of having fun with finances and learning to play the game of money. Drawing an analogy to Monopoly, she discusses how understanding the rules of the financial system can empower individuals to build wealth through strategic investments and leveraging borrowed money. KEY TAKEAWAYS Learn the Rules of the Game: Understanding how money and markets work is essential for building wealth. By learning the rules and applying the right strategies, you can have fun and be successful with your finances. Leverage and Patience: Building wealth often involves leveraging borrowed money and being patient. Time can be an ally in growing your investments, similar to playing a game of Monopoly where strategic moves lead to success. Active Participation is Key: Simply saving money in a bank account or pension fund is not enough. To truly engage with the financial system, you need to actively invest and understand where your money is going. Adapt to Market Changes: The financial landscape is constantly evolving, and it's crucial to stay informed and adapt your strategies accordingly. This includes recognizing the impact of inflation and currency debasement on your savings. Enjoy the Journey: Financial management should not be overly serious. Embracing the ups and downs of the financial game can lead to a more enjoyable experience, allowing you to learn from setbacks and celebrate successes. BEST MOMENTS "One of the best things that you can do is learn to make friends with money and to have some fun with it." "It's fascinating. We've learned how to literally alchemise wealth by working with borrowed money, leveraging that borrowed money, knowledge and education." "If you're just sat on the sidelines with maybe money sat around in a bank account, then to be really honest with you, you're not in the game." "The financial system is not fair. The game is rigged against you." "When you learn how to manage and position yourself in the market, then your confidence grows."

Hazel discusses the "taboo" subject of money, the importance of open conversations about finances with significant others, children, and friends. Hazel talks about early experiences with money shape our understanding and relationship with it, using personal anecdotes to illustrate the value of earning and appreciating money. KEY TAKEAWAYS Importance of Money Conversations: Engaging in open discussions about money with significant others, children, and friends is crucial for understanding financial situations and opportunities. Avoiding these conversations can lead to missed opportunities and misunderstandings. Personal Experiences Shape Perspectives: Individual experiences with money, whether growing up in a financially constrained environment or having money readily available, significantly influence one's relationship with money. Sharing these experiences can foster better understanding and learning. Teaching Financial Responsibility: Introducing children to the value of money through earning and saving helps them appreciate its worth. Practical experiences, such as working for money or investing, can instill a sense of responsibility and understanding of financial concepts. Encouraging Financial Literacy: Conversations about money should include discussions on spending habits, saving, and earning. This can help individuals recognise their financial behaviors and make informed decisions about their financial futures. Breaking the Taboo: Money should not be a taboo subject. By challenging the stigma around discussing finances, individuals can improve their financial literacy and overall quality of life, leading to healthier financial habits and better financial outcomes. BEST MOMENTS "If you're not having healthy conversations about money... you could be quite frankly doing yourself a disservice." "Money habits are formed very early on. And if they're never challenged, then you may never realise the potential that you have on the financial front." "Just giving children things... isn't necessarily the best thing for them." "He said to us that he really appreciated it in a totally different way than if he had just been given it." "It's time to have that conversation to start with, with yourself and then secondly, with other people."

Have you ever looked back and thought, “I should've taken that chance”? In this powerful episode, Hazel shares personal stories about missed opportunities and the life-changing lessons they bring. KEY TAKEAWAYS Recognizing Missed Opportunities: Everyone has experienced missing opportunities at some point in their lives, whether consciously or unconsciously. It's important to acknowledge these moments and learn from them rather than dwell on regret. Taking Action: When opportunities arise, it's crucial to be brave and take action. Hesitation and excuses can lead to missed chances that could significantly impact your life. Preparation is Key: It's not enough to simply be ready for an opportunity; one must actively prepare and practice to ensure they can seize it when it presents itself. Learning from Experience: Reflecting on missed opportunities can provide valuable lessons. Understanding what held you back can help you make better decisions in the future and encourage you to take risks. Cost of Inaction: Missing opportunities often comes with a cost, whether it's financial, emotional, or experiential. Recognizing what you miss out on can motivate you to act when new opportunities arise. BEST MOMENTS "Have you ever missed an opportunity? I think it's probably pretty safe to say that you have because most, if not everybody, has missed at least one big opportunity." "You can't turn the clock back, you can't get your youth back" "You have to be in the state of mind and the openness to take an opportunity when it presents itself to you." "There's literally no point living with regret. The next best thing is to prepare and then take action when you can." "If it's something that aligns with you, and something that feels right, then all I'm gonna leave you with is this: just do it."

In this episode Hazel explores the profound connection between the value we create for others and the financial rewards that follow. Drawing on inspiring examples from history, such as Henry Ford and tech giants like Microsoft and Apple, the discussion emphasises that true wealth stems from serving others and fulfilling their needs. KEY TAKEAWAYS Value Creation Leads to Wealth: Money is a byproduct of the value you create for others. Successful individuals and businesses have thrived by serving the needs of others and providing valuable solutions. Identify Your Passion: To transition from a traditional job to a more fulfilling role, it's essential to identify what you love to do. Ask yourself, "What is the one thing I cannot not do every day?" This can guide you toward a potential side hustle or business idea. Leverage Your Knowledge and Skills: Everyone has unique skills and knowledge that can be monetized. Whether it's a hobby or a professional skill, consider how you can share this expertise with others, such as through online courses, mentoring, or content creation. Capture Inspirational Ideas: Keep a notebook handy to jot down ideas that come to you, especially during quiet moments like first thing in the morning or last thing at night. This practice can help you discover new ways to bring value to others. See a Need, Fill a Need: Look for gaps in the market where your skills or passions can provide solutions. The concept of "see a need, fill a need" can inspire innovative ideas that not only fulfill your interests but also serve others effectively. BEST MOMENTS "Money is simply a byproduct of the value you create for others." "If you are perhaps in a nine to five role at the moment... how can I bring value to the table?" "What's the one thing you cannot not do every day? That's a really great question." "If something is a chore, then if you start up a little side hustle... it's not going to last." "See a need, fill a need."

In this episode Hazel explores the critical question of who we seek advice from, particularly in the context of fluctuating markets such as cryptocurrencies, property, and stocks. Evaluate the Source of Advice: It's crucial to consider who you are taking advice from, especially during volatile market conditions. Ensure that the person has relevant experience and knowledge in the area they are discussing. Beware of Hearsay and FOMO: Be cautious of opinions from friends or acquaintances who may not have a deep understanding of the subject. Avoid making decisions based on fear of missing out (FOMO) without doing your own research. Seek Experienced Mentors: Look for advice from individuals who have successfully navigated similar situations and have a proven track record. Their insights can provide valuable guidance based on real-world experience. Do Your Due Diligence: Always research the credibility of the advice you receive. Verify the background and expertise of the person giving advice to ensure it is grounded in reality and not just hype. Value of Paid Advice: If advice is free or inexpensive, consider its worth. Often, valuable insights come from those who have invested time and resources into their expertise, so be discerning about the sources you trust. BEST MOMENTS "Who do you take advice from? It's a really good and interesting question to ask yourself, particularly at points in the market that we see at the moment." "Never take advice from someone you wouldn't trade places with." "If I'd listened to her, we would have completely stuffed ourselves. We would have done ourselves out of years worth of amazing cash flow." "Make sure that the person you are actually seeking advice from is somebody that you would like to potentially trade places with." "If advice is free or cheap, then you have to really check whether that advice is worth it."

Tim shares his personal journey, from his childhood dreams of playing in the NFL to overcoming significant challenges. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Importance of Perspective: Gaining a broader perspective is crucial for personal and professional growth. By exploring different viewpoints and experiences, individuals can break free from limiting beliefs and achieve greater success. Inner Work and Self-Discovery: True performance and success stem from doing inner work and understanding oneself. This involves facing personal challenges and shadows, which can lead to profound transformation and a more fulfilling life. Hustle vs. Harmony: While the hustle and grind mentality may be necessary at the beginning of one's career, true success comes from finding harmony and flow in life. This balance allows for sustainable growth and enjoyment in both personal and professional realms. Value of Relationships: Success is not just about individual achievements; it also involves nurturing relationships with family and friends. Acknowledging and prioritizing these connections is essential for overall well-being and fulfillment. Openness to Different Beliefs: Embracing diverse perspectives and being open to conversations about spirituality and personal beliefs can enrich one's understanding of the world.

In this episode, Hazel explores the powerful concept of incremental shifts and how small, consistent actions can lead to significant changes in your life. Learn how to become the captain of your ship and navigate towards the success you desire, one degree at a time. KEY TAKEAWAYS Incremental Shifts Matter: Success is often the result of small, consistent actions taken over time rather than sudden, dramatic changes. These incremental shifts can lead to significant progress towards goals. Consistency Over Natural Talent: Individuals who may not have natural talent but consistently practice and improve their skills can surpass those who rely solely on their innate abilities. Regular effort and dedication are crucial for long-term success. The Importance of Action: Taking action is essential. Merely thinking about or discussing goals is not enough; actual steps must be taken to initiate change and progress. Mastering the Mundane: Success often involves mastering everyday tasks and making choices that may seem insignificant at first. These small decisions accumulate over time, leading to substantial results. One Degree of Change: Just as a ship can change its course by making small adjustments, individuals can alter their life paths by making minor, consistent changes in their daily routines. Over time, these small shifts can lead to entirely different outcomes. BEST MOMENTS"Successful people just do the things that seem to make no difference in the act of doing them and they do them over and over and over until the compound effect kicks in." "The journey starts with a single step not with thinking about taking a step." "It's the ordinary everyday things that are easy to do, but easy to not do."

In this episode Hazel delves into the concept of the stories we carry about our financial situations and life circumstances. Drawing from personal experiences and insights gained during a recent retreat, the discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing and letting go of narratives that no longer serve us, particularly those rooted in feelings of lack and anxiety.  KEY TAKEAWAYSRecognizing Limiting Stories: Many individuals carry around stories about their financial situations and life circumstances that stem from past experiences, which can create feelings of anxiety and lack. It's important to identify these narratives and question their validity. The Power of Self-Talk: The way we talk to ourselves and the stories we tell can significantly impact our lives. By changing our internal dialogue, we can shift our perspective and experiences. Letting Go of the "Unhappy Me": It's essential to drop the narrative of being the "unhappy me" and instead focus on recognizing our strengths and the abundance we already possess. This shift can lead to a more fulfilling life. Embracing Growth Through Challenges: Life will always present challenges, but viewing these as opportunities for growth can transform our experiences. Instead of succumbing to feelings of lack, we can ask ourselves what we can learn from difficult situations. BEST MOMENTS"We all carry around baggage that is not serving us, is not beneficial to us, and it is quite frankly downright heavy to take with us on this journey through our lives." "What we keep telling ourselves in our heads and also out loud has a big impact on us." "You get to decide who you are and what you want this life to be like."

In this episode Hazel talks about the concept of the "golden trap," a feeling of entrapment that many experience despite achieving societal milestones such as home ownership, stable jobs, and family life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding the Golden Trap: Many individuals reach a point in life where, despite achieving societal milestones (like a stable job, home, and family), they feel a sense of entrapment and unfulfillment, referred to as the "golden trap." Awareness is the First Step: Recognizing feelings of dissatisfaction and entrapment is crucial. Acknowledging these emotions allows individuals to assess their current situation and consider whether they want to continue feeling this way. The Illusion of the Golden Cage: The feeling of being trapped is often an illusion. There is a metaphorical door that can be opened, symbolizing the ability to change one's perspective and circumstances. Gratitude and Future Focus: Emphasizing gratitude for what one has while actively seeking ways to feel freer and more fulfilled can lead to a more satisfying life experience. The journey towards change is ongoing and requires commitment to personal growth. BEST MOMENTS"What I can share with you about this feeling of the golden trap is that you've reached a point in your life perhaps where you have the home, you have the family, you have decent job... and yet I feel trapped." "The first step to making any sort of change in your life is to become aware of what's not right, to become aware of that feeling or those thoughts in your mind." "In reality, this golden trap, this golden cage that many people experience at midlife is a bit of an illusion because in that golden cage, there is a door." "All you've got to do is acknowledge and realise that you are the one who has remained caged and kept yourself feeling trapped."

In this weeks episode, we explore the concept of freedom, Hazel shares her personal experiences and insights on how freedom is not a destination to be achieved but a state of being that comes from within. KEY TAKEAWAYS Freedom is a State of Being: Freedom is not something to be achieved or obtained; it is a state of being that comes from within. It cannot be given by others or tied to external circumstances. Layers of Freedom: The journey to understanding freedom involves recognizing different layers, such as financial freedom, and then moving deeper to understand personal freedom that comes from self-awareness and authenticity. Letting Go of Conditioning: To experience true freedom, one must let go of societal conditioning, expectations, and the "shoulds" that dictate behavior. This involves embracing one's true self and desires. Emotional State Influences Experience: How one feels directly impacts their state of being. Tapping into positive emotions and heart-centered living can lead to a greater sense of freedom and fulfillment. Acceptance of Life's Circumstances: Accepting life as it is, rather than how one thinks it should be, allows for a deeper sense of freedom. This acceptance helps navigate life's challenges without being overwhelmed by anxiety or external pressures. BEST MOMENTS"Freedom is not something that you can achieve. It's not something that you can obtain. It is not a thing." "When I became financially free, it was an amazing feeling... but the reality was that I still had all these feelings, behaviors, patterns, thoughts, which were running me." "The more you can just be yourself and enjoy your life and let go of the stories... the more you are freeing yourself to be yourself." "If you can capture the essence of what it is that you're after... then you're just living in the prescripted patterns that the conditioning you've experienced is dictating to you."

She reflects on how these formative years shaped her relationship with money. KEY TAKEAWAYS Childhood Experiences Shape Financial Perspectives: Early experiences with money, whether through scarcity or abundance, significantly influence one's attitudes and behaviors towards wealth in adulthood. Resilience and Determination: Adversity in childhood, such as financial struggles, can foster resilience and a strong desire to succeed, motivating individuals to create a better life for themselves and their families. The Impact of Social Environment: Experiences like being on free school meals can lead to feelings of embarrassment and social challenges, highlighting the importance of understanding how social dynamics affect self-esteem and motivation. Wealth Beyond Money: True wealth encompasses more than just financial resources; it includes the richness of life experiences, relationships, and personal fulfillment. Encouragement for Reflection: Listeners are invited to reflect on their own childhood experiences with money and how these have shaped their current financial mindset and life choices, fostering a community dialogue on the topic. BEST MOMENTS"This experience of also having to go onto free school meals led to quite a challenging time at school." "I remember thinking, I'm going to do something with my life. I'm going to do well." "A lot of entrepreneurial spirit, I believe, is born out of adversity in your younger years." "What it was about was creating a richer experience of life." "It's our everyday experience of life that is the most important thing to focus on."

In this episode, Hazel reflects on a transformative speakers course led by Robert Upright and Tony Gargan, which inspired her to confront the fears that have held her back from sharing her message on social media. She discusses the importance of getting out of your own way and challenges listeners to consider what might be holding them back in their own lives. Introducing the GROW model, she outlines four key steps: Gratitude, Realizations, Openness, and Wins. KEY TAKEAWAYS Get Out of Your Own Way: The importance of overcoming personal barriers and fears that hold you back from pursuing your goals and sharing your message with a wider audience. GROW Model: A four-step framework to facilitate personal growth: Gratitude: Shift your mindset from fear to gratitude to change your emotional state. Realizations: Gain insights about your journey and recognize how past experiences shape your current path. Open: Embrace openness to allow opportunities to flow into your life. Win: Celebrate small victories that help you progress toward your goals. Fear and Excuses: Acknowledge that fear often leads to excuses that prevent action. Recognizing this can help you take the first step toward change. Social Media as a Tool: View social media as a platform for sharing your message and connecting with others, rather than a source of negativity. BEST MOMENTS"I realized something during that week that had been holding me back." "What if you literally got out of your own way? Because doing something worthwhile takes time, but more importantly, it takes action." "The minute you switch from fear to gratitude, your state changes." "I just had to say these things to people to let them know that what we've done, and it was all possible."

In this episode, Hazel looks into the crucial topic of financial responsibility, emphasizing the importance of being aware of personal finances in today's economic climate. Discussing the significance of monitoring income and expenses, understanding credit scores, and making informed decisions about savings and investments. KEY TAKEAWAYS Financial Awareness: It's crucial to monitor your income and expenses closely. Regularly check bank statements for unusual payments or unnecessary subscriptions to avoid wasting money. Credit Score Importance: Understanding and managing your credit score is vital for borrowing money responsibly. A good credit score opens up opportunities for better financial options. Education on Financial Management: There is a significant gap in financial education, particularly in public schooling. Many young people enter adulthood without a clear understanding of debt, credit, and financial responsibility. Shift from Old Paradigms: The traditional approach to financial success—studying hard, working for decades, and saving for retirement—may not be effective anymore. A new paradigm focuses on learning skills, finding passions, and leveraging investments for wealth creation. Creating Passive Income: Learning to manage and invest money wisely can lead to passive income streams. This approach allows individuals to retire early and enjoy life while their money works for them. BEST MOMENTS"It's extremely important to have the ability to be financially responsible." "How can our governments and financial institutions expect people to be responsible with their money when, quite frankly, they are not?" "Young people are typically thrown a credit card at the age of 18... all of which set them up in what I call this loop of debt." "The old paradigm... is rubbish, right? So let's look at a new paradigm, a new way of taking responsibility and working with your money."

In this episode of The Wealth Whisperer, Hazel embarks on a passionate exploration of the complexities of our debt-based monetary system. With a focus on how money is created through loans and the implications of fractional reserve banking, the discussion highlights the pervasive nature of debt in our society and its impact on individuals and economies alike. KEY TAKEAWAYS Debt-Based Economy: The modern monetary system is primarily based on debt, where a significant portion of the money supply is created through loans. This reliance on debt is essential for economic growth and stability. Economic Growth and Debt: Continuous economic growth is necessary to service existing debts. If the economy stagnates or contracts, it can lead to difficulties in repaying debts, resulting in financial instability. Wage Slavery Concept: Many individuals are trapped in a cycle of "wage slavery," where they must work to earn money to pay off debts for things they cannot afford without borrowing. This creates a loop of dependency on debt. Critique of the Banking System: The current banking system is viewed as fraudulent, as it allows banks to create money out of nothing while individuals face legal consequences for attempting to do the same. This disparity raises questions about the fairness of the financial system. BEST MOMENTS"In my opinion, there are nowhere near enough people who understand how our monetary system works in the world." "A debt-based economy basically means that a significant portion of the money supply is actually created through loans and debt." "We are literally economic slaves because we have to earn money to be able to afford to buy things." "If you or I try to print money and use it to pay for things, it wouldn't be too long before we are put behind bars."

In this weeks episode Hazel concludes a mini-series on financial calculations by focusing on the concept of return on equity (ROE). Unlike return on investment (ROI), which measures the profitability of a specific investment at the time of purchase, ROE assesses how effectively an asset generates profit over time based on the equity held. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Return on Equity (ROE): Unlike Return on Investment (ROI), which measures the profitability of a specific investment at the time of purchase, Return on Equity assesses how effectively an asset generates profit over time based on the equity held in it. Evaluating Personal Assets: It's important to assess the equity in personal assets, such as property or savings accounts, to understand how well they are performing. This includes considering cash flow from rental properties or interest from savings. Home Equity Considerations: While many view their home as an asset, it typically does not generate income unless utilised in specific ways (e.g., renting out a room). Therefore, the return on equity from a primary residence is often zero. Regular Portfolio Assessment: Regularly reviewing the performance of your investments and equity is crucial. For example, a property that once had a high return on equity may underperform over time, necessitating a reevaluation of whether to keep or sell it. BEST MOMENTS"It's really important to understand the numbers and to understand the maths around how your money's working for you quite frankly." "Most people don't own... any sort of level of return on that equity in their own home. It's a big fat zero when it comes to a return on equity from your own home equity." "You have to be really careful... if you're going to consider releasing any equity from your own home, because this is obviously going to cost you more money." "The question really is what level of return would you like or want to see from your equity if you were to work with it differently?"

In this episode of the podcast, Hazel delves into the essential financial calculations needed to assess property investments, focusing on the concept of whether a property will "wash its face." This term refers to determining if the rental income can cover the property's expenses, including mortgage payments. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Cash Flow: It's crucial for property investors to ensure that a property can "wash its face," meaning the rental income should cover the mortgage payments and other expenses, providing a cushion for unforeseen circumstances. Basic Calculation Formula: To determine if a property is financially viable, start with the property value, calculate the mortgage amount (75% loan-to-value), and then assess the annual and monthly mortgage payments based on the interest rate. This helps in evaluating whether the rental income meets the lender's coverage requirements. Reverse Calculation Method: By starting with the expected rental income, investors can determine the maximum property value they can afford. This involves dividing the rent by the lender's rental coverage rate, converting it to an annual figure, and then calculating the maximum mortgage and property value. Market Awareness: Investors should be aware that property values can fluctuate. Having a solid cash flow can provide security during market downturns, as demonstrated by experiences during the 2008 credit crunch. BEST MOMENTS"The term wash its face is commonly used in the property industry to describe whether a property will look after itself in the context of the amount of rent coming in versus the amount of expenses going out." "You need that cushion so that you can be kind of considering that this property is going to be safe for you." "If the property increases over time in value and you don't change the mortgage, then the mortgage loan to value will become less than 75%."

In todays episode Hazel guides between yield and true rate of return in property investment. Hazel uses a straightforward example to illustrate how to calculate yield based on rental income and property value, highlighting that while a high yield can indicate good cash flow. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Yield vs. True Rate of Return: Yield is calculated as the total gross rental income divided by the property value, while the true rate of return considers the actual cash flow relative to the money invested in the property, providing a more accurate picture of investment performance. Example Calculation: For a property worth £150,000 generating £900 monthly rent, the yield is 7.2%. However, after accounting for mortgage costs, management fees, and other expenses, the true rate of return can be calculated, which in this example is 8.4%. Importance of Cash Flow: A strong cash flow and true rate of return are crucial for property investors, as they provide a buffer against market fluctuations and ensure that investments remain profitable even during downturns. Investment Strategy: Aiming for a true rate of return of at least 8% is recommended, as this offers a better alternative to traditional savings accounts, which may not keep pace with inflation. BEST MOMENTS "Knowing and understanding the difference between the yield of a property and the actual true rate of return is absolutely vital." "The true rate of return will give you a much truer picture of what your investment is going to produce for you." "My golden rule of thumb is to be making at least 8% true rate of return if you're going to go into a deal like this." "If you have a decent level of cash flow and therefore true rate of return, it doesn't matter what happens to the market." "The main advantage of buying a property is that it has the potential to increase significantly in value over time."

Hazel delves into the essential topic of understanding financial terminology, specifically focusing on return on investment (ROI) and return on time invested (ROTI). The importance of being financially educated, especially since these concepts are often not taught in schools KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Financial Terminology: It's crucial to learn and understand financial terms like return on investment (ROI) and return on time invested (ROTI) to take ownership of your financial decisions and empower yourself in managing money. Importance of ROI: ROI is a basic calculation that measures the profitability of an investment. For example, depositing £10,000 in a high-interest bank account at 5.5% yields £550 annually, while higher returns (12%, 15%, or 20%) can significantly increase earnings. Compounding and Starting Small: You can start investing with smaller amounts, such as £20 or £50 a month, and benefit from the power of compounding over time, which can lead to substantial growth in your investment portfolio. Evaluating Time Investment: When considering investments, it's essential to factor in the value of your time (ROTI). For instance, if you spend 30 hours on a property deal and value your time at £20 an hour, that adds £600 to your costs, impacting your overall profitability. BEST MOMENTS"After all, this is a show all about becoming wealthy, not just in the financial sense." "It's absolutely crucial that you do learn and refine this part of your knowledge until you know it inside out if you are serious about becoming wealthy." "One factor that people tend to miss out of the equation... is the return on the time that they invest into completing a deal." "If you were able to generate more like 12% a year or 15 or even 20% a year return on investment, then obviously this is much better." "I thought that that would be a bit of a fun intro to the numbers."

In this episode of The Wealth Whisperer, Hazel delves into the concept of SWOT analysis—an acronym for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Drawing from personal experiences in property coaching and her own financial journey, she emphasizes the importance of applying SWOT analysis not just in business contexts but also in our personal lives. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding SWOT Analysis: SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. It is a valuable tool not only for businesses but also for personal development and life planning. Personal Application: Conducting a SWOT analysis on your own life can provide insights into your current situation, helping you identify areas for improvement and leverage your strengths and opportunities. Identifying Strengths and Weaknesses: Recognizing your strengths allows you to capitalize on them, while acknowledging weaknesses helps you find ways to mitigate risks or outsource tasks that you do not enjoy or excel at. Opportunities and Threats: Being aware of opportunities can guide you toward growth and financial freedom, while understanding potential threats, such as market changes or personal responsibilities, can help you make informed decisions. Actionable Insights: After completing a SWOT analysis, it’s important to determine your number one action or learning. This could involve outsourcing tasks you dislike or exploring new financial strategies to enhance your sense of freedom and efficiency in life. BEST MOMENTS"The S stands for strengths. The W stands for weaknesses. The O for opportunities and the T for threats." "When you can see your situation from different perspectives, it can actually help you to improve certain areas of your life." "It's always good to know and to see where you can make those changes to affect even more of that sense of freedom." "I can also sometimes get distracted when I'm in the middle of a task. So I need to keep myself on track sometimes."

In this episode of The Wealth Whisperer, Hazel delves into the realities of achieving financial freedom, inspired by a recent discussion within the Freedom Club. Drawing from personal experience, Hazel encourages listeners to reflect on what they would truly do with their time if they were financially independent. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Financial Freedom: Achieving financial freedom involves not just the financial means but also a mental shift in how to spend one's time. It's essential to consider what life would look like beyond the traditional work structure. Potential Challenges: Many individuals may feel lost or bored when they gain time freedom, as they are often conditioned to follow a structured routine. It's important to recognize these feelings and plan for how to fill the newfound time meaningfully. Social Connections: Financial independence can lead to a sense of isolation if friends and family are still working. Building a network of like-minded individuals is crucial for maintaining social connections and finding fulfillment in activities. Exploring Interests: With financial freedom, there is an opportunity to explore hobbies, travel, and engage in activities that bring joy. However, it's important to ensure that there are sufficient financial resources to support these pursuits. Positive Mindset: Instead of focusing on what one is escaping from (like work), it's vital to envision what one is working towards. This positive outlook can serve as motivation and help create a fulfilling life post-financial independence. BEST MOMENTS"What would I actually do with my time if I was financially free or could retire early?" "The reality may in fact be quite different to the dream." "If you have a feeling that it would be a little bit negative, that could actually end up holding you back from becoming financially free." "What would you spend your time doing if you had more time?"

In this reflective podcast episode, Hazel shares personal insights following their recent birthday, emphasising the importance of appreciating life and the fleeting nature of time. Drawing from recent experiences of loss among friends and family, they explore the concept of "renting" our possessions and the realisation that material things hold less value than meaningful experiences and relationships. KEY TAKEAWAYS Appreciation of Life: As we age, we gain a deeper appreciation for life and the importance of enjoying every moment, especially in light of loss and the inevitability of death. Material Possessions vs. Experiences: Life is often viewed as a rental experience; we don't truly own our possessions. It's essential to consider whether the time and effort spent acquiring material things are worth it compared to the experiences and memories we create. Living in the Moment: The message emphasizes the importance of living for the moment and making the most of our time with loved ones, rather than getting caught up in the pursuit of material wealth. Reflection on Time: Reflecting on how we spend our time can lead to a more fulfilling life. It's crucial to evaluate whether our daily activities align with what truly matters to us. Inspiring Others: By living authentically and joyfully, we can set an example for those around us, encouraging them to also embrace life and its fleeting nature. BEST MOMENTS"It just makes you think a bit more about how precious life is." "When you think about it, we don't own anything. If you really look at the nuts and bolts of it... you can't take it with you." "Everything that you buy in this life costs you your time." "Is the stuff more important than the experiences and how you feel during your life?" "You have to think, okay, what do I have in my life? What's important to me? How do I want to spend it?"

In this episode, Hazel reflects on the passage of time and the importance of moving from a state of compulsiveness to one of consciousness. They share personal experiences of a mixed week, emphasising the quest for true freedom—both external and internal. KEY TAKEAWAYS Awareness of Time: Life can often feel like it's rushing by, and it's important to become more conscious of how we spend our time and the experiences we have each day. Inner Freedom: True freedom is an internal experience rather than something dependent on external circumstances. It’s essential to recognise that the feeling of freedom comes from within. Direct Experience: Our only reliable reference point in life is our own direct experience. By focusing on the present moment and what we are experiencing, we can cultivate a sense of peace and liberation. Mindfulness Practice: Taking moments throughout the day to stop, breathe, and let go of distractions can help us reconnect with a sense of well-being and inner peace. Neutrality of Life: For most of us, life is generally neutral and peaceful. By acknowledging this, we can shift our perspective and reduce stress, recognizing that many of our worries are not as pressing as they seem. BEST MOMENTS"What I really notice... is that we can actually miss a big chunk of our lives by just going through and doing the usual stuff." "The only thing that we know is our own direct experience of life." "If you find yourself searching for a sense of freedom... just stop for a moment. Just literally stop." "99% of the time, life is actually pretty neutral." "Every single day is a gift. I wake up in the morning and I remind myself that which I'm truly grateful."

In this episode Hazel delves into the critical importance of decision-making in our lives and its impact on our well-being and success. Drawing from personal experiences and observations, the host emphasises that successful individuals tend to make quick decisions and change their minds slowly, while less successful people often struggle with indecision. KEY TAKEAWAYS Decision-Making and Wellbeing: The ability to make quick and effective decisions is crucial for personal wellbeing and success. Successful individuals tend to make decisions swiftly and change their minds slowly, while less successful individuals often do the opposite. Trusting Yourself: Many people are not taught to trust their instincts when making decisions. It's important to align choices with personal values and desires rather than societal or familial expectations. Impact of Environment: A supportive environment, especially during childhood, plays a significant role in developing decision-making skills. Lack of encouragement can lead to individuals feeling pigeonholed and unable to pursue their true passions. Exploring Personal Interests: Young people often receive prescriptive career guidance that doesn't account for their unique interests and strengths. This can result in unfulfilling career choices, highlighting the need for self-exploration. BEST MOMENTS"Successful people make decisions quickly and change their minds slowly, while less successful people make decisions slowly and change their minds quickly." "It's only your life, only you can live it." "When you are able to make decisions and choose things which feel good to you, it's almost like you then are able to act in flow." "You have infinite options. The question is, which path are you going to choose?"

In this episode, Hazel delves into the concept of the learning curve, particularly in relation to money and finances. Drawing from personal experiences as a former teacher and current property expert, the discussion outlines the four stages of learning: unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, and unconscious competence. KEY TAKEAWAYS Four Stages of Learning: The learning process consists of four stages: unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, and unconscious competence. Each stage represents a different level of awareness and skill in managing finances. Unconscious Incompetence: This stage is characterised by blissful ignorance regarding financial management. Individuals may not be aware of their spending habits or the implications of their financial decisions, often leading to overspending and financial stress. Conscious Competence: At this stage, individuals begin to understand their financial situation and actively implement strategies to manage their money better. This includes budgeting, cutting unnecessary expenses, and seeking better deals on bills and services. Unconscious Competence: In this final stage, financial management becomes second nature. Individuals automatically apply their knowledge and skills to grow and protect their wealth, allowing them to enjoy life while securing their financial future. BEST MOMENTS"There's a saying which again you may or may not have heard in the past which is you don't know what you don't know." "This is the blissful ignorance stage. And we've all been there, right? Whether you still are, because you're either not a driver or you're learning to drive." "You need to become consciously incompetent, right?

In this episode, Hazel explores the concept that saving alone is not a viable path to wealth, especially in the context of low interest rates and currency debasement. Drawing on personal experiences and statistics, the discussion emphasises the importance of investing in well-performing assets, such as property and cryptocurrencies, to outpace inflation and grow wealth over time. KEY TAKEAWAYS Saving Alone is Insufficient for Wealth: Simply saving money in a bank account is not enough to build wealth, especially given low interest rates and the impact of inflation and currency debasement. Understanding Inflation and Currency Debasement: To maintain the value of savings, one must save at least 11% annually to counteract the effects of currency debasement and inflation, which can significantly erode purchasing power. Investing in Assets: Investing in well-performing assets, such as property or stocks, can yield much higher returns compared to traditional savings methods. Historical data shows that certain assets, like UK house prices and Bitcoin, have significantly outperformed savings accounts. The Importance of Time and Patience: Long-term investment strategies, such as compounding returns, can lead to substantial wealth accumulation over time. The story of a janitor who amassed $8 million through frugality and smart investing illustrates this principle. Choosing the Right Financial Guidance: While working with financial advisors can be beneficial, it’s crucial to select them carefully, as not all advisors prioritize their clients' best interests. Understanding where and how to invest is essential for financial success.

In this episode of the podcast, Hazel delves into the powerful concept of "you can only spend it once," inspired by her husband's insightful saying. She encourages listeners to reflect on their spending habits and consider the long-term implications of their financial choices. KEY TAKEAWAYS You Can Only Spend It Once: The concept emphasizes the importance of being mindful about spending money, as each expenditure is a one-time decision that impacts future financial goals. Awareness of Internal Conflicts: Reflecting on what you want your money to do for you can reveal internal conflicts between immediate desires and long-term financial goals, leading to more conscious spending decisions. The Power of Delayed Gratification: Choosing to delay immediate pleasures, such as daily coffee purchases, can lead to significant savings over time, which can be invested for future growth. Compound Interest Benefits: Regularly saving and investing small amounts, like the cost of a daily coffee or lunch, can accumulate to substantial sums over time due to the effects of compound interest. BEST MOMENTS"You can only spend it once. So we're going to really explore the idea of this and how you can really start to notice where your money goes." "As soon as your money leaves your pocket or bank account, it's gone. Never to be seen again unless you have invested it consciously." "If you were to apply the principle of pound cost averaging into some sort of investment vehicle that could make you 10% a year... it would be about £20,000." "This is particularly important for the youngsters of today, because a lot of youngsters think about the quick fix, the instant gratification."

In this episode, Hazel introduces a powerful exercise designed to help listeners navigate challenging decisions and conundrums in their lives. Drawing from a technique learned from a business mentor, Hazel outlines a four-question framework that encourages deep reflection and clarity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Four Question Exercise: The exercise consists of four key questions designed to help clarify decision-making: What would happen if I did...? What would happen if I didn't...? What wouldn't happen if I did...? What wouldn't happen if I didn't...? Application in Various Contexts: This exercise can be applied to both personal and professional situations, making it versatile for any challenging decision or conundrum. Structured Approach: To implement the exercise, divide a sheet of paper into four sections, each labeled with one of the questions, and write down your thoughts for each. Clarity and Insight: By answering these questions, individuals can gain clarity and insight into their thoughts, helping to sort through mental confusion and leading to a more informed decision. Immediate Gut Reaction: After completing the exercise, individuals often experience an immediate gut feeling about the best course of action, making the decision-making process more intuitive and straightforward. BEST MOMENTS"It is a simple yet effective and deep way of solving any seeming conundrum in your life." "This simple yet deep little exercise will bring about an almost instant gut feel reaction to the answers that you've given." "What wouldn't happen if I didn't invest in property? See what I mean by being like a bit of a head mess." "It helps you to see that situation from all different angles, all different perspectives." "If you have enjoyed this episode I'd massively appreciate a little like or a comment in the box as it really helps to get the message to reach other people."

In this episode, Hazel delves into the concept of pound cost averaging (or dollar cost averaging) as a powerful investment strategy that allows individuals to take control of their finances. By consistently investing a fixed amount into a chosen investment vehicle, such as stocks or cryptocurrencies, on a regular schedule, investors can mitigate the impact of market volatility. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Pound Cost Averaging: This investment strategy involves consistently investing a fixed amount of money into a particular asset at regular intervals, regardless of the asset's price fluctuations. This approach helps to mitigate the impact of market volatility. Automate Your Investments: Setting up automated payments into your chosen investment vehicle can simplify the process and ensure that you consistently invest without having to think about it each time. Long-Term Focus: It's important to adopt a long-term perspective when using this strategy. Regularly checking the performance of your investments should be done infrequently to avoid emotional decision-making based on short-term market movements. Building a Diverse Portfolio: Once comfortable with the process, investors can apply the same strategy to multiple investment vehicles, allowing for the creation of a diversified portfolio over time. BEST MOMENTS"The principle is very simple... it's just that you are now in control. You get to decide where you put your cash." "Pound Cost Averaging evens out the big swings, the big highs and lows that can come in the market." "By pound cost averaging, we made a 37.2% gain... in a year, especially because the market was going wobble, up and down."

In this episode, Hazel explores effective strategies for managing and eliminating debt, focusing on two popular methods: the Debt Snowball and Debt Avalanche techniques. The Debt Avalanche method prioritises paying off debts with the highest interest rates first, ultimately saving money on interest payments and reducing the time needed to become debt-free. KEY TAKEAWAYS Debt Repayment Strategies: There are two primary methods for managing debt: the Debt Avalanche method, which focuses on paying off the highest interest debt first, and the Debt Snowball method, which targets the smallest debt first. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Importance of Minimum Payments: Regardless of the chosen method, it's crucial to make minimum payments on all debts except for the one being targeted. Setting up automatic payments can help ensure that these minimums are met consistently. Pros and Cons of Each Method: The Debt Avalanche method can save money on interest and reduce the time to become debt-free, but it requires discipline and commitment. In contrast, the Debt Snowball method can provide quick wins and motivation by eliminating smaller debts first, though it may result in paying more interest over time. Debt Consolidation Option: Consolidating debts can be a beneficial strategy, especially if one has equity in their home. By refinancing at a lower interest rate, individuals can potentially reduce their overall interest payments and simplify their debt management. BEST MOMENTS"The Debt Avalanche method means you pay off the highest interest debt first, while the Debt Snowball method has you pay off the smallest debt first." "Using the Debt Avalanche method will save you the most in interest payments as you go along." "The snowball method can give you that motivation to settle your debts faster and see accounts closed down much quicker."

In this episode, Hazel delves into the principle of opportunity cost, emphasising its significance in making informed decisions, particularly in financial matters. As the new year begins, the discussion reflects on the regrets many individuals have regarding missed opportunities, such as investing in property or cryptocurrencies. Hazel shares personal experiences and insights gained over 15 years of working with clients, highlighting the importance of education and due diligence in investment choices. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Opportunity Cost: Opportunity cost refers to the value of the next best alternative that is forgone when making a decision. It's crucial to recognise what you might be giving up when choosing one option over another. Importance of Education: Being informed and educated about different investment opportunities is essential. Knowledge can help individuals make better financial decisions and avoid regrets about missed opportunities. Delayed Gratification: Choosing to invest in long-term financial stability, such as property, over immediate pleasures like luxury vacations or cars can lead to greater financial security in the future. Learning from Experience: Not every investment will yield positive results, but each experience—whether successful or not—provides valuable lessons. Embracing failures as learning opportunities is vital for growth. BEST MOMENTS "Opportunity cost is the value of the next best alternative when a decision is made." "The opportunity cost of such was that we chose delayed gratification for future financial stability." "If you're not in the game, you're not learning." "It's important to align with the choices that you make and make sure that you are doing the correct due diligence."

In this episode, Hazel welcomes listeners to the New Year and shares a reflective exercise designed to help individuals take stock of their lives, particularly focusing on finances and personal growth. Hazel encourages listeners to grab a pen and paper to answer a series of thought-provoking questions that assess their achievements, challenges, and aspirations from the past year. By reflecting on what went well, what could have been improved, and what actions to take moving forward. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reflective Exercise: At the start of the year, it's beneficial to take stock of your life, particularly your finances, by reflecting on your achievements and areas for improvement. This can help you identify necessary adjustments to align with your life objectives. Mindset Shift: Progress towards personal and financial freedom often requires a shift in mindset. Recognising the importance of your thoughts and decisions can empower you to take different actions that lead to desired outcomes. Long-Term Perspective: People tend to overestimate what can be achieved in a year but underestimate what can be accomplished in five years. It's essential to focus on long-term goals and the foundational work needed in the early years of your journey. One Word Exercise: Consider what one word represents what you want to leave behind from the previous year and what one word embodies how you want to feel moving forward. This exercise can help clarify your intentions for the new year. BEST MOMENTS"It's a powerful little exercise that I'm going to be sharing with you." "If you don't stop then to be quite honest with you it could be feeling like you're bashing your head against a brick wall." "People massively overestimate what can be achieved in a year, but hugely underestimate what can be achieved in five years." "What one thing would you like to carry forward into 2025 in terms of your sense of being?"

In this uplifting episode, host Jed Doherty chats with two authors about their powerful new books that celebrate underdogs and shine a light on mental health challenges. First up is James Stafford, the author of "Unbelievable Underdogs and Rebellious Role Models." James shares how his book features 26 captivating stories of sports heroes from around the world who defied the odds and achieved remarkable feats. From the shocking 2015 Rugby World Cup upset by Japan to the inspiring tale of Paralympic athlete Kathleen Thomas, these tales are sure to motivate young readers. James explains how he deliberately structured the book in short, illustrated chapters to engage even the most reluctant readers. He wanted to showcase the universal appeal of underdog stories and how they can inspire us to overcome our own struggles, whether in sports or in life. Next, Jed welcomes KM Selvidge, author of the children's book "Kloe's New Start." KM opens up about her personal connection to the story, which is inspired by growing up with a sibling dealing with mental illness. She discusses the challenges families face and the importance of open communication, support, and believing in yourself. Through the eyes of the main character Kloe, the book explores the stigma, isolation, and self-doubt that can come with having a family member affected by mental health issues. But it also highlights the power of friendship and finding your inner strength. Both authors hope their books will foster important conversations and provide windows into experiences that are often misunderstood. Whether you're a sports fan or looking to better support loved ones, these inspiring stories are a must-read.

Can marriage survive the loss of a child?  Losing a child is the hardest thing a couple can go through. In fact 80 percent of marriages end in divorce after the loss of a child.  For the month of December we are sharing the stories of 4 couples and how their marriages not only survived the loss of a child, but continued to thrive.     In today's episode we have the Warren's.   Ivori and Kevin Warren have been married for 16 years and are a the mommy and daddy to an Angel  born in heaven on August 21, 2017. Ivori is a creative entrepreneur and many times has some bright ideas, one of which is the Loving Our Angel blog. The blog is their personal journal about her and hubby's journey to healing.  Loving Our Angel is also a new initiative that has been added to their non-profit foundation to increase pregnancy and infant loss awareness. As a very private person, it wasn't her initial thought to be so transparent, but as God did when she was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in February 2012, He is leading her to be transparent about their loss.  Ivori holds degrees in both Psychology and Human Resources Management – and currently working toward a doctoral degree in Higher Education.   Kevin holds degrees in both Information Systems & Science and Information Assurance – and currently working towards a doctoral degree in Applied Information System Management. She is also a MOMpreneur – Creative Director of Ivori Nicole EventsTM, professor, author, speaker, mentor, Chief Operating Officer of the Warren Community Cares Foundation, and active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.  He is a United States Army Veteran, Master Rated 82nd Airborne Paratrooper, Chief Executive Officer  of the Warren Community Cares Foundation, and active member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Pocket over Zoom video!After much fanfare for his recent singles, the rising star of the electronic scene, Edinburgh-raised Pocket, recently released his debut Helix Records EP, ‘Love DIsc.'The EP features the single, “Evergreen (ft. kloe),” which is available to stream now. The track is built around a joyful and radiant house instrumental that balances perfectly with kloe's heartfelt lyrics and stunning vocal delivery.“‘Evergreen' was a song that I started with the idea that its simplicity is its strength. Lots of texture and all based around the piano part. KLOE and I had a chat about our lives and everything we were experiencing, and the song became a love letter to being with someone long distance. The unapologetic lyrics and feel is to me what makes it such a standout. In the climate of house music and dance music in the UK, it's very easy to hold yourself back from making something sweet and warm with the fear of not fitting the mold, and I'm happy with taking the chance to make that happen,” Pocket says.Diversity is the name of the game when it comes to Pocket's approach to music and the EP offers a kaleidoscope of ranges and styles. Emblematic of Pocket's fresh sound, “U (ft. BRONZE AVERY)” is the perfect combination of pop, house, and UK garage. Pocket's light and airy instrumental melds perfectly with BRONZE AVERY's powerful-yet-soothing vocals. Using curiously satisfying vocal chops, and minimal but intricate production, ‘Crying at Supermac's' shows off a sound reminiscent of classic Burial. Pocket's unique style pierces through the saturated scene, showcasing a unique and excitable new project for fans.It's been an incredible start to Pocket's career - he was named one of the top 25 artists to watch in 2022 by Mixmag (his song 'Heartbreak Engineering' was also named amongst ‘Best Tracks of the Year April 2022'); received playlist support from Flume, DJ Seinfeld, and Salute, released a remix for Charli XCX and performed alongside Porter Robinson and Fred Again and has been included in tastemaker playlists POLLEN and Altar. Pocket's recent release, ‘U (ft BRONZE AVERY), featured in Paper Magazine in addition to receiving support from a who's who of DJs including Armin Van Buuren, The Magician, Dillon Francis, Joris Voorn, Calvin Harris, MK, Icarus, Oliver Heldens, Martin Garrix, Kryder, Sam Divine, Don Diablo, Carl Craig, Gabriel & Dresden / Dave, and PS1, among others.We want to hear from you!
