After a decade of building an HMO portfolio in Nottingham, I made the decision to shift back to flipping properties over a year ago. The goal? Creating capital chunks to pay off our residential mortgage (our version of financial freedom) while our existing portfolio works in the background. Since then, people keep asking about my approach to flips - especially in the current market where developers are looking to diversify. What I cover in today's episode: Knowing your end buyer - Design for your specific customer so they have zero reasons not to buy Knowing your numbers - Why you need 3-6 solid comparable sales Rethinking profit margins - Why £40k in 3-4 months beats chasing 25% returns Always have Plan B - What if you can't sell? Make sure it works as a buy-to-let Balancing brand with commercial appeal - Incorporating design style without alienating buyers Using private finance strategically - Why flips work brilliantly with investors My most recent flip? Viewings booked within 5 minutes of listing. Sold within days at asking price. Whether you're starting out in property development or you're thinking about diversifying an established portfolio, this episode should hopefully give you the framework for flips that actually sell fast!

In this episode of Business Builders, I'm making the case that numbers are power—not pressure. I share how finally looking at my metrics didn't turn me into “cold corporate”… it freed me to cut what didn't matter, pay my team better, and serve more generously. If you've been avoiding your P&L or marketing stats, this is your gentle nudge to step in as the visionary CEO your business needs.Key topics covered:The mindset shift: numbers are a tool, not a grade—use them to guide, not shame.The five basics to track monthly: revenue, profit, owner's pay, cash/runway, and margin vs. expenses.Simple starting points (even if you're messy): download statements, categorize, sort—then review trends.Who does what: bookkeeper (data), accountant/CFO (interpretation & advice)—and how to get plain-English summaries.Setting targets you can actually hit: plug leaks, choose focus products/vendors, and run a monthly CEO Money Meeting.ChallengeChoose a recurring date each month (like the second or third Tuesday) and block off 30 minutes for a CEO Money Meeting.During that time, start small by tracking just three numbers:RevenueProfitOwner's payEven if your records feel messy, the goal is simply to get started. Tracking monthly will get easier over time, and it builds the confidence you need to make smarter decisions.Mentioned in this episode: If you are running a business in Canada and you need help with all the things accounting related, but more importantly understanding the numbers I invite you to check out https://thriveaccounting.co/Staci's Links:Instagram.

Episode Summary: Welcome back to Construct Your Life! Today, I sit down with Bodhi Gallo, a marketing savant and successful business owner who has navigated buying, scaling, and selling businesses in the service industry. Bodhi shares his journey from corporate America to building a dumpster rental empire, highlighting the importance of smart marketing, hiring the right team, and understanding your numbers. He emphasizes that marketing isn't just about leads — it's about creating long-term value, building relationships, and executing a sales game that wins in competitive markets. Bodhi's no-nonsense approach is all about playing offense, staying consistent, and leveraging every opportunity to grow sustainably and profitably.Key Highlights: - Buying vs. Starting From Scratch: Bodhi shares why he prefers buying established businesses and how to find companies with recurring revenue and untapped potential, instead of starting from zero.- Delegation & Simple Models: Why dumpster businesses are easier to delegate, scale, and manage, especially compared to more complex trades like HVAC or roofing. Bodhi emphasizes mastering operations and keeping core functions straightforward.- Marketing as a Long-Term Play: The truth about brand building and lead generation — it's not a short-term game. Bodhi points out that smart branding campaigns (like memorable billboards) generate ongoing ROI and authentic referrals.- The Power of Word-of-Mouth & Ripple Effects: Why initial marketing spend might seem high, but the long-term returns from satisfied customers and referrals are the real winners.- Know Your Numbers & Be Offense: Bodhi stresses the importance of tracking every lead, understanding your profitability, and staying aggressive — especially during off-peak seasons.- Marketing Transparency & Client Communication: How building trust with clear communication, regular updates, and honest expectations differentiate great marketing firms from the fake ones.- Building a Profitable B2B Reed: Bodhi highlights the advantages of being a dependable contractor in B2B spaces, freeing you from constant lead chasing and creating stable, long-term relationships.Final Tips:If you're serious about growth, buy businesses with existing customers and recurring revenue — don't just start from scratch. Focus on mastery of marketing and sales, don't be afraid to invest in branding for the long haul, and always play offense. Stay consistent, track your metrics, and leverage every marketing dollar for maximum ROI. Remember, building a business is about smart delegation, long-term relationship building, and relentless focus on what moves the needle.If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend and keep building your empire!

He emphasizes that consistent, incremental growth (even just +1 or +2 members a month) can lead to massive long-term success. Vince identifies the common mistakes gym owners make, such as wasting time on "fake work" that doesn't drive new memberships or retention. He breaks down growth into four critical "buckets" and explains why knowing your key metrics in each bucket is essential for success. Vince encourages gym owners to focus on strategic rather than tactical solutions and to own their numbers to make informed business decisions. Top 5 Key Points:Get Enough LeadsLead generation is the foundation of growth.Gym owners often mistake a tactical problem (like needing better Facebook ads) for a strategic issue.The key is figuring out who owns the marketing and whether they understand, want, and have the capacity to handle it.Improve Lead-to-Consultation ConversionConversion from lead to consultation should be between 20% and 30%.If you have 100 leads and only 5 consultations, it's a process issue, not a lead issue.Gym owners often misdiagnose this problem due to lack of data tracking.Boost Consultation-to-Membership ConversionTo convert consultations into paying members, get clarity on their current situation and their desired future.Ask the game-changing question: "Why don't you have that now?"Understanding their gap allows you to position your offer as the solution.Retention is KeyRetention should be below 5% attrition; anything higher signals a problem.An 8% attrition rate creates a "leaky bucket" situation, making it hard to sustain growth.Fixing retention without even increasing leads or conversion can transform a business.Know Your Numbers and Stay FocusedTracking leads, conversion rates, and retention creates a simple but effective business plan.Focus on improving these core metrics instead of getting distracted by side projects (like juice bars or merchandise).If you're under 100 members, the priority is always on increasing members and retaining them.
