  5 Types of Income to Create Infinite Income   - AZ TRT S06 EP09 (271) 5-25-2025              What We Learned This Week Multiple Streams of Income strategy 5 Types of Income – Career, Investment, Retirement Account, Pension, Tax Free Diversification of income provides you security and freedom Build Infinite Income thru initial investment, and profits pay off loans, then go on forever George Lucas created the Star Wars IP one time, and gets infinite returns from the movies & merchandise Real Estate, Business, and Insurance products are good assets for infinite income     Notes:   Segment 1: The 5 Types of Income – Why One Stream Isn't Enough Opening: The Economic Shift ·         The economic landscape has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. ·         While business and technology have advanced, personal finance education and systems haven't kept pace. ·         Inflation has significantly eroded purchasing power. ·         It's no longer the 1950s where one income could support a family of four. Now, two incomes are often required—and even then, many people have a third gig. The New Normal: Side Hustles & Financial Reality ·         According to recent stats, 70% of people need an additional income stream, often from a side business or freelance work. ·         30% of Americans hold a second job. ·         Among millennials, that number rises to 50%.     The Lesson from Robert Allen & Rich Dad, Poor Dad ·         Robert Allen's Multiple Streams of Income advocated for income diversification to gain safety and freedom. ·         Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad emphasized acquiring income-producing assets—his favorite being real estate. The 5 Types of Income 1.    Career or Business Income Your primary, day-to-day W-2 income—pays the bills and covers monthly expenses. 2.    Investment Income Comes from appreciating or income-producing assets like real estate, stocks, or Bitcoin. 3.    Retirement Accounts Tax-deferred income sources like IRAs or 401(k)s—subject to rules and penalties but critical for long-term planning. 4.    Guaranteed Income Comes from pensions, annuities, or Social Security. Designed for lifetime income and stability. 5.    Tax-Free Income Generated through Roth IRAs or cash value from life insurance. You pay tax on the seed, not the harvest. Call to Action: ·         Make a list of which of the five types of income you currently have. ·         Strategize how to build the remaining ones for a balanced, resilient financial future. Analogy: Just like a business has multiple products or a sports team has multiple ways to score, individuals should have diverse income sources to win financially. Segment 2: Infinite Income – Building Streams That Never Run Dry What Is Infinite Income? ·         Infinite income is ongoing, residual income that continues long after the original work or investment. ·         It's the financial holy grail: put in work or money once, get paid over and over. Key Assets That Can Generate Infinite Income: ·         Tangible Assets: Real estate, businesses, stocks ·         Intangible Assets: Skills, knowledge, intellectual property (IP), network Examples of Infinite Income in Action 1. Real Estate ·         Buy a $250K property with 10% down ($25K). ·         Renters pay the mortgage; property appreciates. ·         Refinance later, pull out your original investment tax-free. ·         Continue collecting rental income even after loan is paid off. ·         Use refinance funds to buy more properties → Repeat → Scale. 2. Business Ownership ·         Start or buy a business using a loan. ·         Profits pay off the loan, then continue to generate revenue. ·         Later, use the business as collateral to expand or acquire another. 3. Life Insurance (IUL Strategy) ·         Fund a policy over time; cash value grows tax-deferred. ·         Take loans against the policy tax-free—used as supplemental retirement income. ·         Policy can also be a legacy tool, passing on wealth tax-free. 4. Intellectual Property (IP) ·         George Lucas with Star Wars—created once, profits for decades from merchandise and licensing. ·         Jeff Bezos still profits from Amazon stock, 30 years later. ·         Microsoft, McDonald's, Coca-Cola—IP and systems built once, revenue continues for decades. ·         DC Comics still profiting off Superman IP created in the 1930s. Key Principles for Building Infinite Income ·         Choose the Right Assets: Real estate, businesses, IULs—not just assets that appreciate, but ones that cash flow. ·         Leverage and Scale: Use debt wisely to scale income-producing assets. Wealthy individuals and private equity firms use this strategy constantly. o    Example: PE firms acquire HVAC companies, funeral homes, rental properties—assets that provide consistent 10%+ returns. ·         Use Tax Strategy to Your Advantage: o    Tax-free income is more efficient. o    Lowering your tax burden increases your net income immediately. o    Wealthy individuals use loans, Roths, and life insurance to optimize tax efficiency. Mindset Shift: ·         Don't chase just “buy low/sell high” assets. Instead, acquire harvestable assets—ones that generate regular income and can appreciate. ·         Build cash flow now, use it to reinvest in more assets—repeat the cycle. Closing Thought: ·         Control three things: Assets, Income, Taxes. ·         Master those, and you create not just wealth—but infinite income.     Investing Shows: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Investing-Stocks-Bonds-Retirement       ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean is joined by Shimon Ruach, a property solicitor who uses creative property investing in the UK! From cycling through Manchester snow with no bus money to becoming the pioneer behind lease options and countless other strategies, Shimon shares his knowledge and experience of building wealth through problem properties that 99% of investors avoid. Discover why he deliberately targets properties with Japanese knotweed, subsidence, and structural issues and how this counterintuitive approach has made him a fortune. KEY TAKEAWAYS Target problem properties for maximum profit. Properties with issues like Japanese knotweed, subsidence, or missing kitchens offer huge discounts because 99% of investors and lenders won't touch them, yet fixing costs are typically manageable with the right knowledge. Learn multiple strategies to maximise opportunities, focusing on just one property strategy (like service accommodation or HMOs) means missing out on profitable deals daily; successful investors adapt their approach to fit each property's unique situation. Solve vendor problems, don't just buy properties, homeowners sell because they have problems or needs, not to make profit so understanding their real motivation through rapport-building allows you to structure creative deals that benefit everyone. Invest in education over everything else. The cost of proper property education should be measured against potential returns, not the price tag; spending £100 to learn nothing is more expensive than £10,000 that enables profitable deals. Stop making excuses about time and money, people who claim they have no time for property somehow find time for TV; those who say they can't afford education are really saying they can't afford to make money. Challenge banks and know your rights. Banks often refuse reasonable requests like interest-only payments or allowing tenants, but they have a legal duty under FSA guidelines to explore all options before repossession, creating opportunities for informed investors. BEST MOMENTS "If someone gives you 1 million pounds to play with, you don't have to be creative. As long as you don't waste it, you still make money. But 99% of investors like me started with property on the side." "I don't have the time for property, but you do have time for TV? Doesn't quite add up, does it?" "I'll make an offer you can't refuse. Don't worry, there's no head of a horse involved." "Either you're a sheep like everybody else and you will stay a sheep like everybody else, or you try to do something and tomorrow you're no longer a sheep."

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean speaks to Tabitha about what lead her to investing in property and how this has impacted all areas of her life. Tabitha shares her early experiences in property buying, why she started training with Progressive Property and why she believes property investing has the ability to enhance anyone’s life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tabitha bought her first property, but straight away she had lodgers to pay her mortgage and bills. This gave her flexibility in finances but also meant she could travel away for her acting career. As her property portfolio grew, Tabitha found herself spending more and more time working in this side of her life with no one to talk about it with. This is one of the reasons she sought out the Progressive Property community. Attending Progressive events and training helped Tabitha realise the potential within her property investing and has also helped her with her own personal development. The collaboration and mentorship that come with attending Progressive property events are two of the ways Progressive Training has enhanced and accelerated Tabitha's property investing. Just being in a room with like minded people can give you incredible inspiration and support.

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean and Kevin talk about how you can raise finance as a property investor. Kevin shares his decades of experience in raising cash including the two main ways to raise finance. Sean also talks about the importance of borrowing and how to challenge your own limiting beliefs around money and lending. KEY TAKEAWAYS Whilst you might not be able to ask family and friends for cash, that doesn’t mean someone close to you won’t be interested. Kevin managed to raise finance from a colleague, from just a conversation at work. Sean’s mindset had to change when he discovered he was unable to get a loan he needed as he had no credit score. His mindset around borrowing money shifted even further when he started to attend Progressive Property events. As long as you tell people what you are doing in your property business, they will want to lend money to you. Always conduct thorough due diligence as an investor, ensuring you understand the proper terms. The money goes where the knowledge is, so go to property networking events, both locally and nationally. BEST MOMENTS "Most of the people that knew me were as broke as me” “You can raise money from total strangers as well” “Even though I’d never needed a loan in my life suddenly my mindset shifted totally and I realised that when I needed to borrow money I had to build a credit file” “People will lend you money” “You should not be lending money on handshakes” “The money goes where the knowledge is” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Sean Fitzpatrick is a property investor, educator, and the Face of Progressive Property.

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean interviews previous host Kevin McDonnell. Kevin shares his journey from a farm in rural Ireland to becoming a multi-millionaire property investor. He reveals his painful mistakes buying off-plan properties abroad that left him £100,000+ in debt and how he transformed his life through property strategies like rent-2-rent. If you haven’t heard Kev’s story already, this episode will leave you inspired and informed. If you’d like to learn more from Kevin, he has written multiple books on property investing, including No Money Down Property Investing and Multiple Streams of Property Income. KEY TAKEAWAYS Kevin began with zero property knowledge, making mistakes by investing in off-plan properties in Europe that put him over £100,000 in debt, this is why proper education before investing is crucial. After hitting rock bottom at age 35, living in a shared house and in debt, Kevin discovered rent-2-rent and deal packaging strategies that allowed him to become debt-free without needing significant capital. By moving into his first rent-to-rent property and subletting the other rooms, Kevin eliminated his own housing costs while simultaneously generating income to service his debt. Kevin emphasises that mindset and environment are critical success factors; surrounding yourself with positive, like-minded people creates opportunities that reading books alone cannot provide. From his initial failures, Kevin built an 18+ million pound portfolio with over 100 properties, 18 businesses, and several bestselling books, demonstrating the power of consistent action. Kevin's success formula is to believe in yourself and take the first step, surround yourself with like-minded people who share your vision and take massive action without fear of rejection. BEST MOMENTS "I realised that property was the thing that put me in debt. But actually, the only thing that could get me outta debt was property." "Most people don't wanna change. They're full-time in a job, and they're building their boss's dream. But if you put as much effort into yourself as you do into building your boss's dream, you'd become successful." "If you've read my book three times and it's not made you a millionaire, reading it a fourth time's not gonna make any difference. But maybe working with the guy who wrote it would." "I'm not trying to buy a hundred houses. I never did. I just wanted to buy one. I now own over a hundred, but I only ever started to buy one."

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean and Kevin discuss Reform UK party's housing policies as the UK approaches local elections. They challenge you to question your political allegiances and examine how Reform's proposed housing policies could impact the property market. Kevin talks about brownfield development, landlord incentives and the controversial Section 24 tax, while encouraging listeners to think independently rather than following family or media-influenced voting patterns. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reform UK proposes accelerating housing projects on brownfield sites, particularly in coastal regions, with a loose fit planning policy to simplify large residential developments Giving landlords grants or interest-free loans to renovate empty properties could quickly address housing shortages, bringing hundreds of thousands of empty properties back into use more efficiently than new construction. Reform UK proposes prioritising local residents and those contributing to the system for social housing. Reform's proposed repeal of Section 24 tax (which removed mortgage interest relief for landlords) could potentially reduce rental costs by bringing more landlords back to the market, increasing available housing stock. Current landlord regulations are paradoxically driving up rents and forcing stricter tenant criteria, as landlords need more protection and higher margins to compensate for increased risks and costs. BEST MOMENTS "I don't vote for anybody, so don't say, 'oh, here's a thing for Reform.' I'm not a fan of anybody. I'm just somebody who believes that the country's needs change. It needs reform." "The reason that rents are high is because there's a shortage of properties. The reason there's a shortage of properties is because landlords are leaving the market... Not everybody wants to buy. People at university don't want to buy. They want to rent." "Question how you look at things. Don't be triggered. Be more focused. Don't be triggered. Be more analytical. Don't be triggered. Be more open-minded." "We have lunatics running the asylum. They've never run a business... How can they run the biggest business that there's ever been? The country... We've got people in there that I wouldn't hire in my business, and it's a small business."

SPONSOR: Direct Bullion. Download your free Guide to Gold Pensions Now. (plus get a special bonus).CLICK HERE NOW: https://robmoore.directbullion.com Having interviewed 21 billionaires and hundreds of ultra wealthy individuals, Rob reveals the hidden habits, mindsets, and controversial strategies the super rich use - but would never publicly admit to. From tax avoidance to strategic relationships, these secrets expose the truth about how wealth is really built and protected. KEY TAKEAWAYS Curiosity: Billionaires remain curious, knowing they can learn from anyone. They demonstrate humility through their willingness to ask questions and learn from everyone around them. Full Responsibility: Successful people take complete ownership of everything in their life, even when it's not technically their fault. Rather than blaming external factors like lockdowns or recessions, they assume responsibility for adapting and thriving regardless of circumstances. Trends and Early Market Movements: Billionaires either identify upward-trending markets at the perfect inflection point or possess the unique ability to create trends themselves. They're rarely first (too early) but position themselves strategically for growth. Energy: Consistent energy is crucial, billionaires maintain good energy levels daily, understanding that everything from sales to leadership requires energetic investment. Education and Continual Improvement: Wealthy people never stop learning. They view life as a library or playground, constantly seeking knowledge through reading, mentorship, and new experiences. Consistency and Persistence: Consistency means continuing when things get boring; persistence means pushing through when things get difficult. Most billionaires have done similar work for decades, refusing to quit. Continual Solution to Problems: Billionaires understand that nothing stays fixed forever. They embrace increasingly larger problems, knowing bigger challenges offer greater rewards, while average people avoid problems altogether. Goals, Fantasy and Struggle Reality: While setting ambitious goals is important, billionaires recognise goals are just checkpoints. They focus more on the daily struggle and grind required to reach those milestones, understanding each achievement leads to new challenges. Partnerships and Relationships: No one becomes a billionaire alone. Success requires strategic partnerships, collaborations, and relationships. The concept of being "self-made" is a myth. Sales and Marketing: Billionaires prioritise activities that directly generate revenue. While long-term brand building matters, immediate monetisation comes through sales and marketing, not perfecting logos or business cards. Manage Emotions: Successful people experience all human emotions but maintain control over their reactions. They develop stoicism in high pressure situations, making rational decisions rather than emotional ones. Sell for 10, Make 2: Maintaining healthy profit margins is essential. Track financial metrics obsessively, understanding that selling more with inadequate margins only accelerates losses. Accept Criticism: Billionaires develop thick skin, understanding criticism comes with visibility. They extract valuable feedback while dismissing irrelevant noise, recognising that avoiding all criticism would require doing nothing significant. Multiple Streams of Income: Billionaires diversify their income sources. They start with specialisation but expand strategically, creating multiple revenue channels that build their wealth. Avoid Taxation: The wealthy minimise tax obligations, they understand that tax is their biggest expense. They leverage legal methods to reduce tax burden, understanding that compounding wealth becomes impossible when surrendering 50-70% to tax. Avoid Time Drains with Ruthless Time Management: Billionaires protect their time fiercely, eliminating distractions and focusing intensely on high-value activities. Leverage: Wealthy people utilise other people's money, time, and resources to accomplish more with less. They think "who can do this?" rather than "how can I do this?.” Learn, Break, Then Make the Rules: The wealth hierarchy begins with learning established rules, progresses to breaking conventional approaches,and culminates in creating entirely new rules. Billionaires literally make the rules. Creation vs Consumption: Wealthy people create more than they consume. While the masses consume entertainment, products, and media, billionaires create the companies that produce these items, generating wealth through production rather than spending. Energy and Priorities: Billionaires prioritise high value activities, assessing the financial impact of each task. They outsource anything below their income generating value, understanding time is their most precious resource. Control Legislation and Policy: Billionaires influence political systems and regulatory frameworks to protect their interests. Through political donations and relationships, billionaires shape the economic environment to their advantage. BEST MOMENTS "Every winner was once a beginner and every master was once a disaster. So every millionaire and billionaire knows that, okay, let's say I need to learn a new skill. Well, one day I was a zeroaire and I didn't know it, but I knew I could learn it." "Your reward for solving a problem is a bigger problem and with every new level is a new devil. So the only way you can continually grow is that everything is your fault, even if it's not." "The wealthiest people I've met, they're transcending the judgment of all of this. They're not trying to be happy. They know what their emotions are and they're able to leverage those emotions, control them, master them." "If you are emotionally okay, you haven't got that drive to go do something that is beyond everybody else. Above, not even above average, just hall of fame worthy."

You don't build wealth by working harder. You build it by creating multiple streams of income that work for you—while you're sleeping, walking your kids home from school, or reading a spicy book with an oat milk latte in hand. And the best part? You don't need to be a tech genius, have 100K followers, or invest thousands of dollars to get started. In today's episode, I'm walking you through the real secret to building wealth—multiple streams of passive income—and why Etsy is the smartest place to start. If you're ready to stop trading time for money and start creating real freedom, this one's for you. So grab your coffee, get cozy, and let's get into it. xo, Jacqueline   | LEARN FROM ME | Etsy Profits PRO - Course + Coaching Program www.jacqueline-butler.com/etsyprofitspro    | OTHER STEPS | Join My Email List & Get a FREEBIE! www.jacqueline-butler.com/freeguide  FREE Masterclass: www.jacqueline-butler.com/freemasterclass  FREE 5-Step Starter Guide: www.jacqueline-butler.com/starterguide  FREE Facebook Community: www.jacqueline-butler.com/freegroup  Website: www.jacqueline-butler.com  Get In Touch: jb@jacqueline-butler.com  Instagram: www.instagram.com/jacquelinebutler.co

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Kevin switches roles as he's interviewed by Miha "MJ" Jain, a university student researching artificial intelligence and virtual reality in real estate. They talk about how AI and VR might change property viewings, inspections and investor relationships. Kevin shares the potential benefits and challenges from multiple perspectives; as an investor, letting agency owner and property mentor. KEY TAKEAWAYS Virtual reality could revolutionise property viewings for international or out-of-area investors, allowing them to experience properties remotely without travelling, potentially seeing areas both during day and night to get a complete picture. VR technology could enhance property management through virtual inspections, enabling landlords to remotely view properties during move-ins, move-outs, and periodic inspections without physically visiting. Trust remains fundamental so while VR offers enhanced visualisation compared to photos or descriptions, the relationship with the estate agent remains crucial as clients must trust the accuracy of virtual representations. Early adoption of VR/AI presents a dilemma as businesses must balance being innovative against the financial risk of investing in rapidly changing tech that may become outdated. For local property purchases, where buyers are making significant life investments, VR will likely supplement rather than replace physical viewings, as people will still want to "touch and feel" properties. International investment markets may see faster VR adoption since investors often purchase properties without viewing them, focusing primarily on location and investment potential rather than specific property features. BEST MOMENTS "One of the things I would find really helpful with virtual reality is not just necessarily on the viewing of the property before you buy it, but the midterm inspections, if that could be done in a virtual reality way, that would be amazing." "I would not buy a house on the back of a virtual reality tour. I would watch the virtual reality tour to identify what it baseline looks like. Then before I'd make my offer, I want to go into that house and view it.” "It's going to change everything we do. And it's a little bit scary at the same time because, especially AI, it's almost like Arnold Schwarzenegger was right. Terminator is coming into reality." "But at the end of the day, I'm a human being. I want that interaction."

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean and Kevin tackle the burning question: is now a bad time to invest or a golden opportunity? Kevin shares contrarian wisdom about market timing, revealing why professionals continue making deals while amateurs wait for the perfect moment that never exists. With over 120 properties in his portfolio, Kevin gives advice on navigating uncertain markets, spotting opportunities when others panic and why housing will always remain a fundamental need—even in an AI-dominated future. KEY TAKEAWAYS Don't try to time the market. Focus on finding good deals that work now rather than waiting for the "perfect" moment to buy. Down markets create the best buying opportunities because motivated sellers fear prices dropping further, allowing you to negotiate better discounts. Property remains a fundamental human need regardless of economic conditions or technology changes, people will always need somewhere to live. Choose a strategy you'll actually implement in your local area. Deal packaging, rent-to-rent, service accommodation, or HMOs can all work when done right. Government housing promises rarely materialise as planned because they benefit from higher property values that generate more tax revenue. Economic downturns increase demand for affordable housing like HMOs as people look to save money by sharing accommodations with bills included. BEST MOMENTS "The amateurs wait till the market's gone up. They wait till the media tell them the market's gone up so they know which house to buy. Most people take their advice from their mate down the pub, their mate at work, their parents, or the media, and none of them have ever bought a house." "I have never seen anybody lose money when they held onto the house. Why? Because you ride it out and it goes back up. If you buy right, you'll always make money. And then when the market drops, you just ride it out and you survive." "Everyone is gonna need a home to live in. Property is the one thing that everybody needs. Food and housing, but food can be made artificial. Housing will always be housing because people will always need shelter." "You can either make excuses or make money, but you're not making both. Two types of people listening to this podcast, those that let the world happen to them and those that create their own world. Which one are you?"

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean and Kev explore tactics for protecting your property portfolio, including creative financing methods and overlooked opportunities. Whether you're an experienced investor or just beginning, Sean and Kev share knowledge that could potentially save you thousands. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding market dynamics is essential before investing; analyse local trends, employment rates and development plans to identify areas with strong growth potential. Creative financing strategies can unlock deals even in tight credit markets; leveraging joint ventures, private money and seller financing options increases your investment possibilities. Building a reliable power team of professionals (solicitors, agents, contractors) is as important as finding the right property. The right connections can provide off market deals and save thousands in unexpected costs. Due diligence is always essential, thorough inspection of property condition and legal aspects prevents costly surprises. The right exit strategy should be determined before purchase, clarity on your endgame affects every aspect of the investment decision. Mindset separates successful investors from the rest! Continuous learning, resilience through setbacks,and surrounding yourself with positive influences creates the foundation for sustainable property investment success. BEST MOMENTS "Property investment isn't about getting rich overnight; it's about making informed decisions that build wealth consistently over time. I've seen too many people rush in with emotion rather than analysis." "The biggest mistake new investors make is thinking that the deal ends at purchase. That's when the real work begins, managing effectively, controlling costs, and executing your strategy with discipline." "I've seen properties that looked perfect on paper become nightmares because investors skipped proper surveys. That £500 saved upfront cost one client over £30,000 in structural repairs that could have been negotiated into the purchase price." "Market cycles are inevitable, but opportunities exist in every market. When others panic and sell, that's often the precise moment smart investors should be looking to acquire strategically."

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean interviews Willie Peterson, who learnt how to get out of his own way by training with Progressive. Willie shares how his life changed after meeting Kevin McDonald at a Progressive event, which completely shifted his mindset about property investing. From executing an award winning no-money-down deal in South Africa to raising hundreds of thousands in investment capital, Willie shows how anyone can overcome limiting beliefs and create win-win property deals—even without starting capital. KEY TAKEAWAYS Willie's journey from corporate IT professional to award winning property investor demonstrates how shifting your mindset can open doors you never thought possible. By using creative structuring behind his no money down deal in South Africa, Willie acquired a restaurant with commercial properties by understanding the seller's core needs and creating vendor financing solutions. Willie turned a chance encounter at a rural restaurant into a multi-property deal that benefited everyone involved. He gave the seller more than their asking price while requiring zero capital from Willie himself. He raised £600,000-£800,000 from investors in just weeks by focusing on authentic relationships rather than simply chasing money, emphasising the importance of alignment in values and vision. Property success isn't about luck but rather recognising opportunities and taking decisive action, what Kevin McDonald calls "labour under correct knowledge" (LUCK). BEST MOMENTS "You don't realise how bad your old mindset prevented you from achieving greater things in life. I realised I was in my own way and that's one of the major things that I learned at Progressive is to get out of your way and think differently." "If you told me 12 months ago that I would go down to South Africa, sort out a personal problem, then go and have breakfast at a place in the middle of nowhere and three months later bought the restaurant with two commercial properties and do a lease option of a property behind that and paid absolutely zero money for it... I would've thought you bonkers." "The main message we also give to potential investors is that the fact that you've got money doesn't mean we're gonna work with you. 'Cause we need to align on a few things, principles, and work ethics." "If you want something different, you have to change something, right? Because if you don't change something, you're only going to get the same thing as you always got."

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean interviews Nick Armstrong, a quantity surveyor who has changed his life through property investing. Nick shares how he went from working long hours in construction to building an impressive portfolio of 18 properties. Nick also shares how he leveraged Progressive's network, mentorship and creative strategies to achieve financial freedom through the right property education and community. KEY TAKEAWAYS Nick owns 18 properties (soon to be 19) mostly in Northern England, providing enough income to support both him and his wife, allowing them to leave their full time jobs. Progressive Property taught Nick multiple strategies beyond traditional property investing, including HMOs, serviced accommodation, and RENT2RENT approaches that don't require property ownership. Building relationships with estate agents and managing agents has been important to Nick's success, leading directly to profitable deals and ongoing property opportunities. The No Money Down course teaches strategies to control properties without using your own funds, making property investing accessible to those without significant capital. Nick found the support system through Progressive's mentorship programs and WhatsApp groups invaluable, providing solutions to challenges and connecting with like minded investors. Interest rate changes have created challenges, but the right team and proper advice from Progressive have helped Nick navigate these fluctuations while maintaining his portfolio. BEST MOMENTS "We've now built up a substantial portfolio that provides us with hopefully an income for life. That's the life changing experience we've had, we will have something that's equivalent to our pension for life." "The tools that we've learned since we've gone through the Progressive process has been absolutely life changing for us really." "You come to these meetings and you have a little chat with people and it really stirs you up and gives you encouragement. You come away absolutely boiled up from who you've spoken to, what you've learned, and what you think you can achieve in your business throughout the next month." "When I speak to people about property, most of them turn around and say, 'If I had the money, I would like to get into property.' And when you actually explain they could do it without putting any money down or very little money down, initially there's disbelief."

In this episode, Dr. Adrin Seven Washington—celebrity stylist, educator, and business strategist—shares how he built a career working with top names like Patti LaBelle and Naomi Campbell while earning a doctorate in cosmetology. We discuss the importance of education, networking, finding your niche, and creating multiple income streams to achieve long-term success in the beauty industry.

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean Fitzpatrick shares his property journey from a council estate in Northern Ireland to financial freedom through property investment. Sean candidly discusses how he went from teaching himself piano to reaching university, jumping between cathedral choir positions for free accommodation and eventually becoming disillusioned with the education system. After discovering Progressive Property and implementing creative strategies, he transformed a liability into a cash flowing asset that enabled him to leave his teaching job. His story shows how taking calculated risks and shifting your mindset can lead to extraordinary success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sean grew up on a council estate in Northern Ireland during the troubles as one of nine children, teaching himself piano to Grade 8 level because his family couldn't afford lessons. After earning a music degree, Sean strategically secured free accommodation by singing in English cathedral choirs while earning a small salary, showing his early property problem solving skills! The book Rich Dad Poor Dad transformed Sean's perspective on property and money, helping him realise his residential property was a liability draining his finances rather than an asset. Sean found Progressive Property after seeking property training and won an award for his creative deal structure that required zero investment while providing enough cash flow to leave his teaching job. The deal involved Sean managing a landlord's property as a live-in manager and using lodger income to cover rent, turning liabilities into cash-flowing assets for both himself and the property owner. Schools teach children that money isn't important when in fact financial education is crucial; Sean saw more social mobility at Progressive Property events in three days than in his ten year teaching career. Sean's biggest obstacle was mindset, believing someone would invest with him. But after implementing strategies, an investor offered him £80,000 within five days. Sean almost walked out during the Face of Progressive competition after failing at a speaking task, but he reframed the challenge by focusing on how property changes lives rather than the object itself. Property deals receive far more rejections than approvals, but the successful ones are life changing. Real growth happens outside your comfort zone. Happiness is internal and controllable rather than dependent on external circumstances, negative emotions are signals that you need to reframe how you're thinking about a situation. Sean's philosophy is that you must help yourself before you can truly help others, comparing it to putting on your own oxygen mask first on an airplane before assisting others. BEST MOMENTS "Property isn't just about bricks and mortar. It's not just about money. The biggest thing in property is people. Property is about people and solving people's problems." "We were able to turn liability properties, our property that we were living in was a liability for us, and this property was a liability for the landlord. We were able to turn them both into cash flowing assets by taking a risk." "The biggest risk in life is taking no risk at all. If I hadn't taken that risk, I would still be on my school job and I would still feel stuck." "Rich Dad Poor Dad flipped my thinking about money and finance. I started thinking about property more. Everybody tells you property is an asset. But a property is not an asset if it's losing me money."

Send us a textIf you keep thinking and acting like an average agent, you'll stay stuck like one. But that doesn't have to be your reality. In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact CEO mindset shift you can make today that will take you from overworked and overwhelmed to running an actual real real estate business—with scale, leverage, and the ability to generate sales without being personally involved in every deal.I'm sharing my personal journey, the exact steps I took to escape the never-ending transaction treadmill, and how you can buy your time back as an agent while making more money than ever. Let's go.

Sean and Kevin dissect the controversial new Renters Rights Bill. Kevin cuts through the fear and media hysteria, explaining why these changes won't be the disaster many landlords fear. With over 20 years of experience and 120+ properties in his portfolio, Kevin is honest about government incompetence, the disappearing middle class and why corporate landlords spell disaster for tenants. KEY TAKEAWAYS Section 21 abolition is not a disaster for landlords as most use it for legitimate evictions anyway Beware of corporate landlords taking over, they care about profits, not people Rent caps create trapped tenants and artificially inflated new rental prices Future proof properties by renovating properly from day one. Avoid being "penny wise, pound foolish"! Good landlords rent homes to people, not houses to tenants Property remains the most accessible way to build wealth for average people despite regulatory changes BEST MOMENTS "I have never, in my 20 years in property, 20 plus years now, never, ever, ever evicted a tenant for no fault. I don't rent houses to tenants, I rent homes to people and I have never evicted a person from their home that was paying the rent on time at market rent and looking after the house." "The middle class is disappearing in front of our eyes. Look down your high streets. All the middle class shops are shutting down. House of Fraser, Mac, the makeup shop, Ted Baker, they're all disappearing. What's booming? Big expensive shops that the wealthy use and the pound shops." "Once the big corporations take over, it's the road to ruin. Because the little landlord cares about their tenant, they get to know their tenant. They get to know, like and trust that person... Once the big corporations take over, it'll just be like British Gas." "You've never seen a millionaire saver, never mind a multi millionaire saver. The only way to become wealthy is through business and property and most business owners, even though they make money in business, they put it into property because it's a safe asset."

Rob and Sean interview the top three winners of the Make Cash Challenge. Find out how third place Nick overcame his fear of asking family for money and secured a property deal with £40K equity, how second-place Fezan raised £42K and put offers on seven properties and how first place Phil generated a staggering £160K in just seven days! These inspiring success stories show what's possible when you combine accountability, support and the right motivation to take action. KEY TAKEAWAYS Overcoming the money talk barrier can yield surprising results, Nick's biggest challenge was having a difficult conversation with his sister about borrowing money but after facing his fear, she immediately agreed to lend him £10,000 for his property project. Diversifying income streams creates financial resilience and Nick not only secured property deals but also set up an eBay shop, planned an Etsy store, purchased silver as an investment, and is launching a podcast about efficiency and property investing. Corporate experience can be leveraged into entrepreneurship. Fezan, a Senior VP at a global investment bank, is transitioning his 16-17 years of corporate financial experience into coaching and mentoring others while building his property portfolio. Action beats perfection when launching a business, Fezan learned that while taking action is crucial, proper market research (especially regarding competitor pricing) is equally important when designing products and sales funnels. Structured challenges provide the accountability needed to overcome procrastination. All three winners emphasised that the daily accountability, reporting requirements, and motivation from seeing others succeed pushed them to take actions they had been postponing. Simple mortgage optimisation can generate significant savings, Phil generated £45,000 by simply refinancing his mortgage, demonstrating that reviewing and optimising existing financial arrangements can yield substantial returns with minimal effort. BEST MOMENTS "The most challenging thing was having a conversation with a family member to raise some capital. We're taught at an early age, don't talk about money, save money, save money and then actually get around to have that conversation, get pleasantly surprised by the outcome." "I'm sort of a lazy guy in some respects that I need a bit of a boost of motivation to actually go in and take action, because I'm kind of comfortable at least gotten comfortable at a certain time. So I need the kick on the backside just to kind of go upon and actually do it." "What I've learned from that is that, yes, action taking is important, but doing the research work as well, people who are serving within the same niche and pricing your products correctly is also important at the same time."

Sean interviews Matt Hawes, a carpenter turned developer who shares his property journey. After years of running his company, Matt reveals how attending Progressive Property training transformed his approach to property development. Most impressively, Matt discloses how he raised £500,000 with just one phone call to an investor who was in his network all along! Discover how Matt leveraged his construction skills, investor finance, and Progressive Property knowledge to convert a bungalow into a five-bedroom house for profit and learn about his exciting plans for future developments. KEY TAKEAWAYS Matt's background as a carpenter and construction project manager gave him practical skills but it wasn't until he received proper training from Progressive Property that he learned how to leverage these skills effectively for property development. After attending Progressive Property's "No Money Down" course with Kevin McDonald, Matt discovered assisted sales strategies that allowed him to develop properties without paying stamp duty or needing substantial upfront capital. Matt raised £500,000 from an investor with just one phone call by offering a 10% return (compared to bank rates of 4-5%), demonstrating how accessible investor finance can be when you know how to present the opportunity. Before Progressive Property training, Matt made mistakes buying off plan properties through Inside Track, which taught him valuable lessons about the importance of buying properties close to home where he could utilise his building skills. Matt successfully structured a deal where he used investor finance to purchase a bungalow and his own building company's resources to convert it into a five bedroom house, creating two profit streams: one for his building company and an additional £80,000 development profit. The key to Matt's success was taking decisive action. He describes how he made several calls early one morning and secured £500,000 in financing before 7:30 AM, emphasising that people need to "get out of your own way" and just ask for what they need. BEST MOMENTS "I just made a list of all the people I knew that had money and I rang them... I managed to raise half a million pounds on one of the first phone calls I made." "Get out of your own way, ask the question, and you can do it.” "I really would like to start getting back into doing our own thing... I really liked it when I came to Progressive, just felt a lot more like a family... more like a cohesive network." "So the flip and pulling all your money out... I bought this bungalow and then turned it into a five bedroom house.” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Sean Fitzpatrick is a property investor, educator, and the Face of Progressive Property.

Join Sean as he interviews Rob Caswell, a newcomer to property investing who's achieved incredible success in just four months. From crane operator to property entrepreneur, Rob shares how he secured six properties with virtually no money down, transforming his life through Progressive's training. KEY TAKEAWAYS Success in property doesn't require massive capital, Rob secured six properties with just £1,000 initial investment, which he recovered within two months, demonstrating the power of creative financing strategies like Purchase Lease Options. Consistent marketing efforts, even with limited time, can yield significant results. Rob delivered 7,500 leaflets and 200 direct-to-vendor letters while working a 10-hour day job, leading to his first major deal. Building rapport with property owners is crucial and Rob's success came from understanding the vendors' needs and presenting solutions, leading them to trust him with their entire portfolio. Having a strong "why" drives success, Rob's motivation to provide better opportunities for his children helped him persist through challenges and scepticism from others. Rob's journey accelerated after finding guidance through Progressive, helping him avoid common pitfalls and maintain motivation. Early morning routines can accelerate progress, following advice from Rob Moore, Rob started waking up at 3 AM to work on his property business, showing the importance of making time for your goals. BEST MOMENTS "I didn't actually think I could get into property with very limited finances” "Get started, put your best foot forward. The answer is yes. Figure it out later. Get some training, first and foremost, don't walk into it blind, get a mentor." "My children are my why... I don't want them to go through life building somebody else's dream. I want to build their dream and let them live it."

Sean talks to George about his journey into property investing and how, through Progressive Property's network and training, George transformed his business portfolio from managing pub rooms to overseeing multiple successful property ventures across the UK. His story demonstrates how combining property education with networking can lead to extraordinary success, even for those starting with limited property knowledge. KEY TAKEAWAYS Starting small with room rentals in his pub created a stable income stream that outperformed the pub's primary business. Strategic partnerships formed through Progressive Property's network enabled George to expand geographically, managing properties in both Hertfordshire and London. Taking consistent action, even with imperfect first deals, led to rapid expansion, from zero to five rent-to-rent properties and multiple service accommodation units in central London within months. George has built growth and stability by having multiple income streams, including property and content creation. The Progressive Property community offered not just education but also accountability and networking opportunities, leading to successful joint ventures and business partnerships. Personal development through Progressive's training programs transformed George from someone uncomfortable with public speaking to a confident business owner and podcast host. BEST MOMENTS "COVID was a big period of time and not doing a lot. So that's when I came across Rob's Rants... I spent probably a couple of years watching him before I bought anything." "I wouldn't be where I am if I hadn't have done that. Surrounded by the mentors that have done it and then can demonstrate that also gives you that extra push." "If you don't try, you don't know. And what you don't, you don't know what you don't know. So it is uncomfortable. The first couple of times will be challenging, but if you don't do that, you're not going to make the desired change." "I was not somebody who would be sat here in March 2023... I would have been that person sat at the back of the room on my phone. You wouldn't have noticed I was there."

This week, we speak to Liam McCallum, a former letting agent turned property investor. From humble beginnings in a call centre to becoming a shareholder in his letting agency and completing 39 property deals in just months, Liam's journey is a masterclass in seizing opportunities. Learn how he transformed his agency's declining portfolio into a thriving deal packaging business, and his ambitious plans to own the entire Northeast! KEY TAKEAWAYS Building credibility with estate agents requires persistence and consistency, don't take "no" for a final answer. Instead, treat rejection as "not yet" and keep demonstrating your value until agents see the proof in your results. Success in property deal packaging comes from understanding investor needs, not just property aesthetics. Focus on analysing numbers and deal structures rather than superficial features like nice kitchens. Investing in proper education and training, despite the initial cost concerns, can exponentially accelerate your progress. Liam's investment was returned 10X through implementing the right strategies and systems. Consistency in marketing, deal analysis, and relationship building is crucial. By maintaining consistent effort, Liam's business transformed from struggling to find investors to having more investors than deals. When approaching estate agents, keep communication simple and avoid industry jargon. Remember that front desk staff may not understand terms like "BRR opportunities" so focus on clear, straightforward language. Reinvesting profits strategically into business growth can create a sustainable expansion model. Using deal packaging profits to acquire additional letting agencies creates multiple income streams and future investment opportunities. BEST MOMENTS "We have 10X our investment at least, if not more... We've now done 39 deals, 39 single let buy to let deals packaged and sold to investors." "I don't take no's. I take no's as not yet. If an agent says no, it means no, you're not getting one off as yet. So I'll keep going back and keep going." "Every time I create myself more time, I then employ that time back into creating myself more time... I don't want to just do 39 deals. I want to do 109 deals." "As an agent, we kind of looked and thought, well, that's a nice buy to let... but actually understanding how to analyse the numbers, what makes an investor tick... has really turbocharged that."

Sean interviews Damian Mulhern, a property investor who transformed his life from running an aggregates business to building a successful property portfolio. Damian shares his journey from feeling stuck in his previous business to discovering the BRRR strategy and successfully executing multiple deals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Transitioning from a saver to an investor mindset is crucial for financial growth. Damian learned that keeping money in savings accounts actually loses value due to inflation, leading him to explore investment opportunities that generate returns while he sleeps. The BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Rent, Refinance) strategy can be incredibly powerful when executed correctly. Damian's success story of turning a £118,000 property into a £365,000 HMO demonstrates how adding value through strategic improvements can lead to exceptional returns. Managing risk in property investment isn't about avoiding it entirely but taking calculated steps. Damian advocates for getting structural surveys when needed and maintaining lower LTV ratios (60-65%) on some properties to ensure portfolio stability. Finding motivated sellers is key to securing good deals, but it's essential to know when to negotiate and when to accept asking price. Sometimes, paying full price for a below-market-value property creates a win-win situation. Networking and being part of a property community is invaluable for success. Learning from others' mistakes and experiences can save thousands of pounds and accelerate your property journey significantly. Setting ambitious goals while maintaining quality is vital for long-term success. Despite owning nine properties, Damian sees himself at the beginning of his journey, aiming for ten HMOs next year and eventually owning commercial buildings in Manchester city centre. BEST MOMENTS "Knowledge without action is just knowledge... if you don't implement that idea, the idea doesn't actually exist in reality for anybody." "A saver is, wants to put it in a bank account however, an investor understands the economics of it... they want to put it in a place where it starts to work when you're sleeping." "If you're the most experienced person in the room, you're in the wrong room." "I just want to own some big, beautiful buildings in Manchester City Centre... and just be proud of the quality because the figures will come."

In this inspiring episode of the Progressive Property Podcast, host Sean Fitzpatrick interviews Rochelle Gilburn, who transformed personal tragedy into triumph through property investing. After losing her husband in 2018, Rochelle leveraged her marketing background to build an impressive property portfolio, completing 37 refurbishments in just three and a half years! KEY TAKEAWAYS · Small but consistent actions in property investment and social media presence can lead to significant results - Rochelle grew her LinkedIn connections from 250 to 15,000 in just one year through regular posting and engagement. · Multiple income streams are crucial for future-proofing your property business. Combining buy-to-lets, service accommodation, and property sourcing can provide stability and diverse revenue. · Documenting your journey is important for growth, regularly sharing property journey updates, including challenges and successes, helps build authority and attract potential investors and clients too. · Being adaptable with property strategy can turn challenges into opportunities. For example, when unable to sell a property due to high interest rates, Rochelle converted it to successful service accommodation. · Rochelle launched her LinkedIn training business by first gauging interest and then creating the content, demonstrating the power of just getting started and not waiting. · Building an ethical property sourcing business requires significant effort but can provide the foundation for expanding into other property strategies and growth. BEST MOMENTS "I can remember pulling up at the venue and there was actually people in there and I was like, my heart was racing. I'm like, what am I doing? Why am I punishing myself like this? Cause the fear never really goes away." "In 2020 during lockdown, I built up my connections from 250 at the beginning of the year to 15,000. So just through the consistency and figuring out what worked and what didn't work." "Start now. And then by the new year, you're going to be hitting the ground running or start now and by Monday, you'll already be starting to get into new habits." "We're buying houses for around 80,000 for a three bed terraced house. So we'll buy one of those and we use the BRR model of refurbishing it and then refinancing it and renting it out."

Whether you're a seasoned blogger or just thinking about starting, blogging is one of the best ways to make money online—and I've got 10 compelling reasons why. But first, a quick story.

Abby is an advocate of direct mail, she has had consistently strong leads from it. A deal Abby is recently working on is a conversion into holiday lets. It will be a lot of work but for a brilliant end result! Abby has also recently completed an assisted sale deal, which she got via a direct mail lead. Probably Abby’s most impressive deal to date is on her own £1million dream home! Part of this success was due to relationships she had previously built.

Welcome to the latest episode of our podcast series, where we delve into the fascinating topic of trust and its underpinning neuroscience. In episode 352, we revitalize our understanding of trust by revisiting our initial interview with Greg Link from episode 206 and exploring Grant Bosnick's insightful approaches. We unpack the concept of trust as presented in Bosnick's book, emphasizing the five C's for strengthening trustworthiness: Character, Competency, Credibility, Consistency, and Care. Each of these pillars serves as a foundation for building reliable relationships both personally and professionally. Further, we examine critical factors impacting trust, like responsiveness, authenticity, and empathy, shedding light on how these elements foster an environment of trust. This exploration is pivotal for anyone aiming to enhance their self-leadership skills and boost their interpersonal effectiveness. Join us as we push the boundaries of self-leadership, preparing to soar to new heights in the upcoming year with insights that are not only transformative but also actionable. On today's episode #352 we continue with our 18-Week Self-Leadership Series based on Grant Bosnick's “Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership: A Bite Size Approach Using Psychology and Neuroscience” that we first dove into with our interview on EP #321[i] the end of January 2024. The goal was that each week, we focused on learning something new, (from Grant's book) tied to the most current neuroscience research, that builds off the prior week, to help take us to greater heights this year. It's honestly shocked me that this series took the entire year, and we still have 2 chapters left. The Neuroscience of Empathy and Presence, and then stay tuned for a review of the entire series to take us to new refined heights, in 2025. ((On today's EPISODE #352 “The Neuroscience of Trust” we will cover)): ✔ A review of our FIRST interview where we covered trust with Greg Link,EP 206[ii] ✔ Ch. 17 from Grant Bosnick's Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership book on “The Neuroscience of Trust.” ✔ The 5 Cs to strengthen trustworthiness from Grant Bosnick's work. ✔ Critical factors that impact trust. Review of the Neuroscience of Trust We first covered The Neuroscience of Trust on EPISODE #206, as I was preparing for an interview with Greg Link[i], the co-founder of the Covey Leadership Center. Greg was the one who orchestrated the strategy that led Dr. Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, (1989)[ii] to become one of the two best-selling business books of the 20th century according to CEO Magazine, selling over 20 million copies in 38 languages. Greg created the marketing momentum that helped propel Covey Leadership Center from a start-up company to a $110-plus million-dollar enterprise with offices in 40 countries.  You can go back to episode #207[iii] to learn more from Greg Link's incredible experience working with Dr. Covey, and with the fascinating individuals and companies around the world he reviewed with us, where we dove into the topic of “Unleashing Greatness with Neuroscience, SEL, Trust, and the 7 Habits.” While researching Greg Link, who I met when he came to work in the seminar industry in 2002, I was reminded of a topic that he thought was so important that he wrote a book about it with Stephen M.R. Covey (the son of the late Stephen R. Covey) called Smart Trust: The Defining Skill That Transforms Managers into Leaders.[iii] If you look up quotes from Stephen Covey on trust, you can see how important this skill or character trait was to him. He said, “trust is the glue to life” and “the one thing that affects everything else you're doing. It's a performance multiplier which takes your trajectory upwards, for every action you engage in, from strategy to execution.” It's the “shortest route to results” (Robert Allen, author of Multiple Streams of Income). “Trust is the highest form of human motivation. It brings out the very best in people.” (Stephen Covey). Greg Link confided in us in our interview, that it was when Dr. Stephen Covey extended trust towards him (to build his company) that his whole world shifted. If you've taken the leadership self-assessment[iv], look to see if Trust (in Pathway 6, our final pathway in this book study) along with biases, relationships/authenticity and empathy is of a low, medium or high priority for you to focus on this year. I was not surprised to see this pathway is a high area of focus for me. Moving on to chapter 17 of Grant Bosnick's Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership, Bosnick opens the chapter by saying that “trust is like a bank account: we can increase it with deposits or reduce it with withdrawals.” (Chapter 17, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership, Page 215). He elaborates by saying that “when we are kind and respectful to others, we make a deposit and increase the levels of trust; when we are unkind or disrespectful to others, by contrast, we make a withdrawal and lower the trust. When we keep promises, we make a deposit; when we break promises, we make a withdrawal. When we apologize, we make a deposit, when we are selfish, proud, or arrogant, we make a withdrawal.” Every time we interact with someone, we have the opportunity to make a deposit, or a withdrawal, and if we make deposits and build this up over time, “we can have an abundance of trust.” (Chapter 17, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership, Page 215) and Bosnick reminds us that this allows for when “we might have made a withdrawal, others can forgive us for this one time and still keep a high level of trust.” (Chapter 17, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership, Page 215). But he warns us that “if we make multiple withdrawals, these will accumulate and drive the level of trust down, which is harder to come back from. It can, in fact, go into a negative balance, where we may distrust that person, and then interpret all of their behavior in a negative light, from which they may never come back.” (Chapter 17, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership, Page 215). Bosnick does point out that “there is a strong correlation between trust and a person's willingness to acknowledge their own mistakes, apologize for them and encourage other to acknowledge and learn from their mistakes.” (Chapter 17, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership, Page 215). What is the Neuroscience of Trust? Bosnick points out that “when we trust and have trust with others, our brains release and build oxytocin: the neurochemical produced from the comfort of social trust either given or received…Oxytocin is produced in the human brain when we feel trust and trusted, and this molecule motivates reciprocation.” (Chapter 17, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership, Page 219). Researchers found that this response signals that another person is safe, familiar and trustworthy, and can occur with strangers without face-to-face interactions.   In chart 17.1, Bosnick lists some behaviors that erode trust, like being inconsistent, lying or lacking transparency, lacking follow through, taking undue credit, passing blame, gossiping, not “walking the talk” or poor communication. IMAGE CREDIT: Chapter 17 of Grant Bosnick's Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership. Have you ever met someone who eroded trust with you, using any of these examples? If you want to work on building rock-solid trust with others, (personally or professionally) here is what Bosnick suggests. How to Be Trustworthy Bosnick shares the 5 Cs to being Trustworthy. Character: To be trustworthy, we need to be a person of integrity. Integrity is when our thoughts, feelings and actions line up, and it can be felt from others. We've talked about this concept before on this podcast and have called this PRAXIS. To be sure that your thoughts, feelings and actions line up, (or that you are walking your talk) a good measure would be to look at your results. Your conditions, circumstances and environment in your life are a direct reflection of the actions that you take day to day. If you don't like the results you are attaining, (or your conditions/circumstances or your environment where you live) go back and look at your thoughts, feelings and actions, and see if you can uncover where it may be misaligned, and then correct where you are out of line. You might not think this is important, but it really is, as others will just “feel” something is off with you, until this alignment is corrected. Competency: What is your personal track record of success? Do you say what you are going to do, and then do what you say, successfully? Being honest with what we are capable of doing, increases our trustworthiness. This also goes for when we need additional help of support to complete whatever it is that we are working on. To work on strengthening this area, remember that it is not a weakness to ask for additional help when needed. Credibility: If we can “connect the dots between other people's problems or situations” Bosnick says that this adds to our credibility, and this increases our trustworthiness. He says that to do this properly, we cannot “make assumptions and predetermine the solution before fully understanding their needs. We must listen to the core issues and provide solutions that meet their specific needs.” Our ability to listen deeply to others, therefore, improves our trustworthiness. Consistency: Do you do what you say you are going to do with consistency? This creates stability, puts others at ease and builds trust. Bosnick says that “we need to create stability in the situations we face and with the people we interact with. This stability helps people to feel at ease and know what to expect” and this in turn, increases our trustworthiness. Care: Do you care about the people you interact with? Do you show them that they matter, or that you appreciate them? Doing this demonstrates emotional intelligence, Bosnick says, and this “builds human connections and enhances our trustworthiness with the people we engage with.” (Chapter 17, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership, Page 222). I can think of examples in each of these areas, but the one that impacts me the most, is the first one, our character. It's how we behave when no one else is watching. When no one else is watching, are you of integrity with your thoughts, feelings and actions? Then think about the others. Are you credible? Do other people trust your abilities? Do you LISTEN deeply to others before offering solutions? What about consistency? Do those that interact with you know where you stand so they can anticipate your actions? Do you create stability? Or competency? Do we know our limits, and what we need for success to occur, and if in doubt, ask for help or support from others to hit our goals? Activity: Reflect on a person you work with where trust is important. Have you ever done something with this person that eroded the trust? How can you use the 5 Cs to build trust to a level where others trust in you without a shadow of a doubt? Remember what Greg Link taught us. For others to see us as trustworthy, it helps when we extend trust in others. The first time I realized that trusting others was not easy for me, was when I was in an experiential seminar in 2004 that showed me just how much trust I had in other people. I had to climb up high, (in this activity) and free fall backwards, and trust that my team mates (who I didn't know very well) would catch me, before I hit the ground. I remember looking at each of my teammates, and the big strong men, I trusted would catch me, (without a doubt) but the women, I wondered about. This was a huge lesson for me in self-awareness, as I've since learned to extend trust to the close women in my life, learning that strength comes in many different forms, but most importantly, it comes back to you, when it's given. Critical Factors That Impact Trust To close out this chapter, Bosnick covers critical factors that impact trust in figure 17.3 that I've added to the show notes. He explains “the most critical factor to build and maintain trust was responsiveness.” (Chapter 17, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership, Page 230) and that the size of the team matters. IMAGE CREDIT: Chapter 17 of Grant Bosnick's Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership Bosnick listed survey results that showed “having a good team makeup who work well together and are responsive in their communication engenders trust. Unresponsive, new teams need to work together to build a bit of cohesion.” Next he lists “authenticity and empathy” for building and maintaining trust which includes “showing genuine, positive regard for others, in our mind, intent and behavior.” It's PRAXIS again. Our thoughts, feelings and actions show up whether we think others can “see” it or not. This comes through with our authenticity that we covered thoroughly on EP 346[v] “Discovering Authenticity and Vulnerability with Mo Issa.” Another survey result he shared mentioned that “when people can bring their whole selves to work from a place of authenticity, while listening and providing their diverse point of views, it creates an environment of trust.” (Chapter 17, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership, Page 230). He adds that “communication plays a key role in building and maintaining trust. We need to be open and honest because secretiveness and withholding information leads to distrust.” (Chapter 17, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership, Page 230). REVIEW AND CONCLUSION To review and conclude this week's episode #352 on “The Neuroscience of Trust” we covered: ✔ A review of our FIRST interview where we covered trust with Greg Link,EP 206[vi] a were reminded that when we extend trust to others, it will be extended back to us. ✔ Ch. 17 from Grant Bosnick's Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership book on “The Neuroscience of Trust.” The 5 Cs to strengthen trustworthiness from Grant Bosnick's work (character, competency, credibility, consistency and care) with tips for us to strengthen each area. Critical factors that impact trust with responsiveness, authenticity and empathy being at the top of the list. I hope this episode has added some insight for you as we launch a New Year, and work on closing out this 19 chapter series. Stay tuned for our final 2 chapters (empathy-chapter 18 and presence-chapter 19) before reviewing the entire series. See you next time and Happy New Year!

In this episode, Freddie Rappina, a former police officer turned financial expert, shares his unique approach to wealth-building, distinguishing between the traditional middle-class financial strategies he likens to "checkers" and the advanced wealth-building strategies he calls "chess." Freddie explains how the wealthy employ a different mindset towards debt, investing, and income-generating assets, and he emphasizes the importance of using leverage to create wealth now rather than waiting decades for compound interest to build it. Listen in to discover actionable steps to transform your financial strategy and take control of your financial future. About the Guest: Freddie Rappina is the founder of a financial firm focused on helping people build real wealth beyond the traditional market-based assets. With 20 years of experience as a police officer and a deep dive into finance, Freddie developed a wealth-building system based on the strategies of the wealthy. His philosophy moves beyond just saving money and focuses on building multiple streams of income, leveraging debt, and purchasing income-producing assets such as real estate and businesses. Key Takeaways: Checkers vs. Chess in Finance: Traditional middle-class financial strategies (checkers) focus on saving money and relying on compound interest, while wealthy individuals (chess players) employ more advanced strategies, leveraging debt and buying income-generating assets. The Limitation of Compound Interest: While compound interest is important, Freddie argues that it is not enough on its own to create life-changing wealth due to the time it takes to accumulate significant growth. Leverage as a Wealth Accelerator: Wealthy individuals use leverage, borrowing money to purchase assets like real estate and businesses that generate income, allowing them to build wealth now rather than waiting for the future. Multiple Streams of Income: Freddie emphasizes the importance of diversifying your income streams through investments in cash-flowing assets, which offer both financial security and the ability to improve your lifestyle in the present.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
