David's entrepreneurial journey began in his early twenties when he sold Australia's most beloved sporting venue, the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Since then, his business experience has spanned from franchising retail clothing stores to founding one of Australia's most trusted digital agencies, Melbourne SEO Services.  In 2016, he successfully systemised himself out of that business, hired a CEO and stepped back from the daily operations. Through this process, he became a systems devotee, founding SYSTEMology.  In this episode, we talk about systemisation from why it fails to how businesses have grown tremendously by implementing systemisation. He tells us about his experience with this side of business and he has personally profited from systemisation Tune into this to truly systemise your business to success.

In this episode, Rob sits down to speak to Sam Watterson the owner of Watts & Co, a Leeds-based Lettings and Property Investment Agency. He is a landlord himself, a podcaster and a mentor that teaches people how to invest in and run all kinds of property businesses. Sam explains how having systems in place and automating as much as possible has enabled his business to grow fast.   He explains what a CRM is and how property developers can use it. As well as sharing how he uses Zapier and If This Then That (IFTT) and explaining what tools you need to get started with automating your business.     KEY TAKEAWAYS   A lot of businesses have a CRM system but don´t link it up to automate text messages or emails. You make your money when you are face-to-face selling not when you are doing admin. Link trees are a powerful way to share past projects and other things potential investors are interested in. As soon as you have to do something twice, automate it. Using an Open CRM makes it extremely easy to link it up to your other tech, Zapier is ideal for linking two pieces of software together and using IFTT. If you want to scale automate. Let your system do the heavy lifting. When you systemise and automate, you make fewer mistakes, which results in your client having a better experience.   BEST MOMENTS ‘When it comes to technology, a lot of people barely scratch the surface.' ‘Having a CRM system that is customisable and links with all of your other apps is invaluable.' ‘Start small with the fundamental brains of the operation.' ‘Being a technophobe is not an excuse. You are in business to make money.'   EPISODE RESOURCES bit.ly/SWLinkTree https://linktr.ee/     ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.

There are trades business owners who find joy in doing manual work. But being hands-on in your business should only be up to a certain extent. Barry learned this lesson the hard way himself, working at his renovation company years ago. He found himself doing all the work because he thought nobody else could do it - which is wrong. In doing so, he also failed to make time for his family. His work-life balance was totally off. There’s no need to work gruelling hours to ensure that your business is running like a well-oiled machine. What you need: Systemisation. Systemisation involves mapping out your business processes from start to finish. It allows you to grow your business while being free from unnecessary stress.

The old way of training your team is like a dinosaur, extinct. Okay, that's a pretty bold statement, but with teams now operating remotely, safety procedures needing to be followed and people coming in with different levels of experience, your business needs to find a way to make sure that the systems, process and quality of your delivered products and services remains consistent, no matter where your team are located. To achieve this, policies and procedures have been 'the norm'. That has changed. Video offers a much stronger connection and ability to educate team that helps them feel connected to the business, mission and people they work with. It helps to build more confidence in their role, especially if they're new and plenty of other benefits, but you'll have to listen to this episode with Luke Canham from MultiplyMe to find out more about how these systems can help your business even more. Connect with Luke: https://multiplyme.typeform.com/to/FNbqQ0elFind Luke on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukecanham63/Connect With MultiplyMe on Instagram: https://instagram.com/@multiply_me_system**************************Connect with RyanWebsite: https://orionmedia.groupBook a free 20-minute info call: https://calendly.com/orion-media-group/20min-infoJoin the The Digital Approach Podcast Community: https://orionmedia.group/podcastcommunityOrion Media Group on YouTube: https://orionmedia.group/YouTubeConnect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanfowlermarketing/

“Too many accountants do not involve their client in the planning process which commences with the Business Plan and proceeds through to the Predictive Accounting Reports of Budgets, Cash Flow Forecasts and Projected Balance Sheets without effective communication with the client.”  Paul Barnaby, Regional Integration Consultant Asia-Pacific for Plan Guru and CEO of Beyond Accounting Technologies. “Predictive Accounting is documenting for future accounting periods what we have been doing in the historical accounting process, but software tools are now available to enable the preparation of “3 in 1 financial forecasts” which enable the future financial position of the business to be clearly documented.”  Paul Barnaby.   [Read The Full Article Here]

About Harvey:Harvey is the founder of Growth Properties Group, a small group of companies. My why is to live on my terms and my mission is to help as many people live on their terms through property as possible. With education, portfolio building and property management. I've built my property portfolio and businesses in the Northeast of England, whilst living in the south, remotely allowing me to spend time with my family and travel regularly. Having built up the systems and team to run from my phone and parts on autopilot. I now focused on helping others excel on their property journeys and build a remote investment lifestyle for themselves through group and 1:1 coaching programs. I help people to live on their terms through property & Coaching and portfolio building. I've spent the last 7 years working out how to run my property business virtually from my phone. Using tech to run my business while I've been travelling. About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's' College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing. Soon after his second job… he was fired! A moment of relief and freedom was what he felt, not sure what his mother felt when he told her he was jobless at 23…He then went in search of a more ethical path, a business he could set up where the reward was equal to the work put in. “If they are making pounds, why am I making pennies?” - was his thought process, not happy with slow progression and bureaucracy (& having to wear smart shoes everyday). This lead him to opening a Recruitment business (not sure where the ethics went) which doubled in profit every year, for 4 years. He hated it. Golden handcuffs they call it.Fortunately, he used the cash he'd built up from that business, to educate himself in Property Investing. Soon, he'd stopped the business and transitioned into Property Investment full time. He then had a slow start -Purchasing 15 properties in his first 9 months, using over £650,000 of Investor Finance, he built a £1,200,000 property portfolio and created £30,000 of profit from flips. This gave him ‘financial freedom', but it was the most stressful period of his life. Growing quickly is very painful.Let's not forget that his Podcast grew to be the most-reviewed UK Property Podcast, peaking at 4,000 unique downloads per episode.His Podcast (Tej Talks) now sits at 660,000 downloads in over 100 countries and has 489 reviews, rated 5/5.

The E-Myth made it famous, but most people in finance related businesses will know that systemising your business will enable growth and increase the sale value of your business. A specialist in delivering smart systems to business owners and successful entrepreneur – Leanne Coste – talks about her experience and how to create a more efficient, valuable business.

Systemisation is key to freedom. It allows your business to run and operate without relying on you. For business owners who feel intimidated by systemising their businesses, you don’t have to; you just need to start with one and, from there, create more. Systems also don’t have to be perfect; you can revise and refine them as you see fit. In this podcast episode, Barry, Miranda, and Michael discuss how you can create systems for your business. They lay down detailed steps to make systems easier to understand for any person. Michael also highlighted the benefits of using templates to make systemisation simpler and encourage new hires to create their systems.

This week, Tony talks to money specialist, Jim Muehlhausen, a specialist in helping business owners to increase their wealth by the practice of "Half Retiring". KEY TAKEAWAYS People half-retire for many reasons. The main one is that they wish to keep their income, but want to get rid of the stress of the job itself. Some do not wish to retire altogether, as they love their business. Half-retirement is the perfect solution for this, allowing them to remain a part of operations, while also taking a step back. Without mind-set changes, you cannot half-retire. Systemisation can only take you so far. We need to think differently altogether. Delegation alone does not always work. It focusses far too much on We should seek to eliminate elements that do not work instead of finding new ways to do them. BEST MOMENTS 'If I could keep that income but ditch the grief, that'd be awesome' 'Half-retirers keep the business but ditch the stress' 'If you don't have a good enough reason to half-retire then none of this stuff is going to work' 'I've now got a business that runs on autopilot, compared to the train wreck I had to show up at every day' VALUABLE RESOURCES Sign Up Now For Exclusive Tony Talks Wealth Content at https://www.patreon.com/TTWealth Tony Talks Wealth - https://omny.fm/shows/tony-talks-wealth https://exitcoach.podbean.com/e/jim-muehlhausen-are-you-ready-to-half-retire/ https://twitter.com/mule_kick https://www.facebook.com/halfretire/ ABOUT THE GUEST Like most entrepreneurs, Jim Muehlhausen has an eclectic background ranging from CPA, franchisee, attorney, business owner, consultant, franchisor, public speaker, university professor, and book author. While still attending the Indiana University School of Law, he became the youngest franchisee in Meineke Discount Muffler history (1987-1991). After successfully selling that business, Jim founded an automotive aftermarket manufacturing concern. During his 9-year tenure with that business, the company achieved recognition from Michael Porter of the Harvard Business School and Inc. Magazine in the IC 100 Fastest-Growing Businesses. Twenty years ago, he found his true passion, serving as a consultant, business coach, and advisor to hundreds of businesses. During his 10,000+ one-on-one consulting sessions with business owners around the globe, Jim realized that while all business issues look unique, they rarely are. Most businesses are working to seize the same opportunities and overcome the same obstacles. To help business owners share best practices and stop learning from the “School of Hard Knocks,” he wrote the well-regarded book The 51 Fatal Business Errors and How to Avoid Them. His ongoing research led to the discovery of fatal business error #52: You can’t outsmart, outhustle, or outmaneuver a weak business model. The more he studied business models and worked with business owners, the more convinced he became that business models were the key to a great business. In 2009, he founded the Business Model Institute which is devoted to the innovation and study of business models. Jim writes several articles for the Institute each year as well as contributing to publications such as Inc., The Small Business Report, Entrepreneur, BusinessWeek, and various business journals and just completed the book Business Models for Dummies. Jim has now turned his attention to the problems facing aging business owners. Ten years ago, Jim started to spot a trend. Business owners turning sixty-five were not selling their businesses and retiring. As he researched the issue, he found three reasons they were not selling: 1) they simply could not afford to sell the company, 2) they wanted to stay active, and 3) they wanted to maintain the business for the employees. By studying thousands of business owners, Jim saw a select few that had shifted from “working income” to “equity income.” That is, these owners earned money by owning the business, not working in it. By collecting their best practices and augmenting them, Jim created the Half-Retire Blueprint. This step-by-step process helps business owners create a profitable alternative to selling their business via Half-Retirement. This trademarked system is outlined in Jim’s new book Half-Retire: Keep your business, ditch the stress.

I've seen it many times, and I've experienced it myself. The frustrating challenge of wishing to scale, but not knowing how on earth to scale your business when YOU are the value of your business, and - like all heart-centred individuals - providing less value in order to profit more is simply not an option. In today's episode, we discuss the options you have, when to scale/systemise and how to get out of this mess that many create for themselves. Instagram: @thetomclarkimpactFacebook: /thetomclarkimpactTwitter: @tomclarkimpactFree resources: thetomclarkimpact.com/instagram

We've all been there—the barrage of questions fired at you, the requests that go beyond what's reasonable, the phone calls every now and then on project updates. One of the biggest problems we all face at the start and middle of a project is dealing with our client's expectations. We just can't seem to put their worries and queries to rest. However, since they are making the biggest investment in their lives, it's unavoidable for them to want to hear feedback now and again. So what can you do to manage those expectations? Overcoming the communication barrier between client and tradie and understanding that they don't speak the same language that you do are key to handling your clients. And that's what we're here to discuss with Russ Stevens, Co-Founder of the Association of Professional Builders. From onboarding clients to doing milestone meetings, you'll find so much value in this episode that it's a crime not to watch. Be a pro at handling your clients from start to finish by tuning in to this episode!

This allows an increase in margins and ultimately the ability to scale their businesses into desirable building companies that possess real value and can be sold as an asset. He firmly believes that residential home builders deserve to be earning more money for the service they are providing and that consumers deserve a superior service than they currently receive.

Systemology with David Jenyns Today we're speaking systemology with David, from Melbourne. They've actually just gone back into lockdown as this podcast is recorded. Really unique times! Systemology David is an expert of systems. He works with a very specific problem for a very specific person. The person is business owners who are trapped inside that business with 15-25 staff, where they are the bottle neck. All business flows through them. That needs to happen as your business gets off the ground. But you have to get out of that habit for the business to grow. That's where David helps! Often the business owner is the technician. Because they start doing that, they get used to doing that. They train the staff to channel all their questions through them. How do you break that pattern? You need to get to a certain size before implementing systems. Systemisation is about bottling what's already working so you already need momentum and team members around you. There's no point systemising if it's just you or one other person. You're not going to get any leverage from those systems. Identify the mission-critical systems. For example, the top 20% of tasks that give 80% of the result. Then empower your team on the development of those systems and documentation. Tip: split the systems creation into a two-person role. The person with the knowledge. The person who does the documentation. That gets you on the path. Step 1 is to capture what you're doing. Record your screen doing a task. Capture what the best person is doing and bring all your staff up to that standard. That alone can get you wins. Don't over-optimise or streamline first. There will be obvious tweaks but if you start to deviate too much by streamlining (etc), you forget getting a baseline down. Getting systems in place People support their creations. So if you get staff members involved early on with system creation, the likelihood they use it skyrocket. When people think about systemisation, people think McDonalds because they are the King of systems in business. But David isn't making systems that require no thought for those using them. He likes the idea of people using intelligent thought to create and use good systems. He uses frameworks so people have room to think. A good system and process should show them how to win and gives them some guidelines how to complete a task. But it will depend on that task - the level of detail you need to do it, the person you're recruiting, etc. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Which-developments-produce-the-greatest-return.mp4 A little business activity... http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/A-business-activity-to-do.mp4 How do you find your business' individual systems sweet spot? The goal should be that you're not key person-dependant enough so that anyone can go on holiday for at least a month and come back and still have their tasks move forward. Get the business systemised to the point where AT LEAST the core product or service can be delivered. And, someone can go away and the business can still operate well. When do people come to you? Different people have different catalysts. For example, some people want to sell their businesses and realise they don't have anything to sell because they are the business; people who have been in business a long time and are burnt out; younger companies more in the start-up but are keen to scale. So many reasons! Systemology: the book David is publishing a book in August about the system to systemise a business: SYSTEMology. Keep an eye out for it. Where can you find this when it comes out?

This episode marks the second year anniversary of the Leveraged Lifestyle podcast and Catherine has some great birthday giveaways for listeners along with one of the most popular guests from the previous 100 plus episodes – Jackie Tomes, Property Strategist. Jackie built a portfolio worth over 6 million in just over 6 years and achieved all of this before she reached her thirtieth birthday. Jackie has extensive knowledge and expertise in the property sector and shares some great advice on what makes a difference when you are starting out in property and how to move successfully through the levels of business. Jackie wants renting to be better than buying and with a value-driven company she is building new and better ways of doing things and inspiring others.   KEY TAKEAWAYS We have built a business that we can remove ourselves from because our vision at the start was about being able to travel. We help others build great property businesses that are systemised and have the right processes in place. It’s about achieving a balance that works for you and if your business is set up in the right way you can be away from it. A leveraged lifestyle is about both mindset and skillset coming together successfully. You have to double up on work to be able to get to a point where you can work less. It’s important that you are able to work smart as well as working hard. How you set up working with your remote team and using technology effectively is key.  When people start in property they often spread themselves across several different strategies but you should have a specific focus. Simplify and focus so that you are able to successfully go through the different stages of business as you grow. When you don’t have any money, you focus on getting money for yourself and that’s not the right approach when working with investors. It’s about asking what value can I give? What can I offer my client?   BEST MOMENTS ‘The quality of our team who are all behind a shared vision is quite magical’ ‘It’s all about having a combination of processes, systems and brilliant people in the right roles for them’ ‘If you rent there is amazing flexibility’ “I’m on a path to try and live a life I love and am proud of’   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast Apple: www.bit.ly/itunesllpodcast Stitcher: www.bit.ly/stitcherllpodcast Leveraged Lifestyle Community: www.bit.ly/llocfbgroup VIVA Club: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/viva Life Leverage Online Masterclass: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/masterclass Join our VIP Investor List: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/vip Business SOS: www.business-sos.com Utility Warehouse: bit.ly/lluw     ABOUT THE GUEST Jackie Tomes, Founder of the Tomes Homes Group & Property Strategy www.property-strategy.com  &   www.tomeshomes.com Survive, Adapt & Thrive in property investment in 2020 - reset your investment strategy in response to the current market conditions.  Jackie started Tomes Homes in 2013. It took 18 months of working two jobs to create the £16k deposit needed to buy the first investment property in 2014.  Since then, Tomes Homes has worked with investment partners to flourish into a property investment group, owning & managing 60+ homes with a portfolio value of £6M+; supported by a team of nine, with family-values at the core. The primary business model is purchasing, renovating & renting out blocks of flats in Kent.    Property Strategy works with other property investors on Strategy & Systemisation to help them turn their investing into an efficient, systemised business.   Jackie is on a mission to build great property businesses that can redefine the image of the property investment sector and ultimately, through a relentless focus on customer and tenant satisfaction, make renting better than owning.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of The Business of Dance Podcast. Today I will be discussing an important topic and one that you may have heard me touch on before but have yet to have a full episode about. If you know me at all you know I am ALL about systemisation when it comes to implementing and organising tasks within my studio. With this world of technology, we live in and all the tools available to us at our fingertips why not take advantage of them to organising all the carefully designed tasks at our studio? We see so many businesses nowadays implementing systems, so why not for dance studios?! If big multi-billion dollar organisations have systems in place to run their businesses properly and on track, imagine what we could do with our own businesses of dance, no matter how small! Maybe you don’t have big dreams for your studio and just want to keep in small, local and running more smoothly, maybe you want to grow to several locations all across your country or state. Regardless of your personal dreams for your studio, systemisation can help you and your studio reach its goals and highest potential, so you can bring your dream business into a reality! Maybe the whole idea of systemisation seems overwhelming when you first start, especially if you feel you don’t have the time or are not tech savvy. But today I will be going through the important and practical steps you can take today to get your studio's essential tasks in order, and all in one place. This will start to give you the confidence you need to move forward with your business without the stress, giving it the ability to scale & thrive, while you have more free time, and who doesn’t want that? So let drive right into the episode! 1. What are the most important tasks in your studio? A great place to start is to first take note of all the important tasks for your studio, and write them down as you do them. This will help you identify what tasks need to completed when, and how you like them to be done. By determining your important tasks you can set out a plan in place and start to categorize your tasks so you can break them down into digestible tasks to show others or to remind yourself in the future. 2. Delegate Once you understand what tasks are fundamental in running your studio and how to complete them, you can start to automate these tasks by outsourcing to a VA, admin or another team member. The point of these systems is that they are organised and outlined in order for you to pass on these tasks to almost anyone in your team, giving you the time and freedom to focus on running your studio and the bigger projects at hand. 3. Choose a program to systemise with The best way to keep track of these systems, edit them and delegate to other team members is to choose a program that helps you put these systems in place. There are many programs out there but the main ones I have found to work well is Trello & Asana. Personally, I use Trello for my studio but you can find a program that works best for you which you feel comfortable with and that your team will enjoy. In these programs, you can write out tasks, create lists, boards and assign tasks to others, and even see the progression of a certain task. 4. Repeat After choosing a program, write out your tasks and know which tasks you can delegate to your team, you can then save these tasks which you can use in the future! There will be many one-off tasks but the ones you know you will use time and time again can be saved so that all you have to do in the future is copy and paste for yourself or even a team member to complete. When repeating and reusing a task, you can always add more notes in or adjust what didn’t work as well last time, so that you are always progressing but not having to write out each and every task every time you do it.   So there are my top 4 tips on how to get started with systemising your studio! If you are wanting to learn more about systemising your studio and become a Studio Systems Master, I am launching my Studio Systems School on April 9th! This small group program will go in depth in how to systemise every aspect of your studio for the years to come, which will help you grow, scale, and transform their business into an empire resulting in ultimate profitability & success! This group program is for those are wanting extra support and accountability, as it includes an online community support group with others taking the course. Alternatively, if you are wanting a solo experience I have a 1:1 coaching program which helps you become your best Studio Systems CEO! If this is something you are interested in, you can visit my website for more information www.claireosheacoaching.com/programs I hope that these tips help you to start systemising your studio and creating an idea how to run your studio in a more manageable and organised way for you and your team.   Systemise for success masterclass video: www.claireosheacoaching.com/systemiseforsuccessvideo    For more Business Of Dance please, like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram @claireosheacoaching.

In this week’s show, entrepreneur David Murrin discusses his work around decoding major historical events to forecast global change in today’s world, helping you to make informed decisions that avoid repeating past destructive cycles so that you can create positive actionable strategies for the future.  David has written two books, including 'Breaking The Code of History' which post 9/11, recognises that the world had changed in an instant, and highlights the key process in human social structures that impact on today’s changing world.  Join Rob and David now for this fascinating episode featuring a wealth of hidden agenda. KEY TAKEAWAYS One person’s energy can charge other people’s like a capacitor, but time will decay the charge. If we can survive this peak, then the charge will die down. This is how the world has always seemed to work. David joined JP Morgan because meritocracy was rewarded. He joined the company in order to take risk and win big, and found the risk industry fascinating. Post 9/11, David’s world view completely changed. America’s world influence had peaked, and so the strike against it was even more damaging. David used his newfound knowledge and techniques in the post-9/11 world to more accurately predict the rise and fall of the resource market values, which made him extremely valuable to companies like JP Morgan. It’s usually the commodity price appreciation that leads to conflict. Humans fight over one thing, and that’s resources. We may mask this with religious constructs, but it always boils down to resources. America has to extract itself from the grip of Chinese manufacturing, and Trump has made it clear that this is what he wants. Ultimately, the world will be split between two powers when it comes to resources. A greater trend toward automation is inevitable. Systemisation and the use of AI to find resources underground is definitely coming. .BEST MOMENTS ‘I was standing there among sixty hungry cannibals’ ‘We make decisions as a collective entity’ ‘We’re heading into one of those periods now’ ’There will only be an increase in friction’ ’There is a two way arms race coming' VALUABLE RESOURCES   Dig Deep – The Mining Podcast on iTunes David’s Website -  https://www.davidmurrin.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Rob Tyson is an established recruiter in the mining and quarrying sector and decided to produce the “Dig Deep” The Mining Podcast to provide valuable and informative content around the mining industry.

Sanjay Gandhi who owns Moss Properties and Moss Mentors dropped by the office to talk about all things UK Estate and Letting Agency

[Summary of Audio Transcript] Real Estate training courses often fail to teach agents how to run a REAL business In Michael Gerber's book The E-Myth, he teaches that business owners are so busy working IN their businesses that they don't have time to work ON their business. The entrepreneur who starts the business now finds himself trapped by all the small details required to keep that business afloat. We property agents are notorious for this. Most of you chose real estate because you wanted to be your own boss and then quickly found out that you were working for a lunatic… yourself! The trap you find yourself in is that there is so much to do and you're the only one doing it! Now, instead of building an empire, you're chasing after your ‘To Do List' and just trying to stay afloat! The problem with this is that if nothing can happen in your business without you doing it, you don't really have a business at all. What you have is a (tough) JOB! I found myself in the same trap and this is what motivated me to find a better way. I was determined NOT to have a “job”, and with the creation of my system over a period of 5 years, I succeeded. So how do you achieve this freedom? The path to true freedom in your property business is SYSTEMISATION. Every part of my own agent business was fully systemised, and this is what I teach agents in my new upcoming book. My Property Agent Secrets book is essentially an instruction manual, much like the manual you get for your car or for your phone: do this, and then do that, and if this happens, do this. One of my agents I was coaching did a great job of systemising his lead generation. During the past month, this agent began learning and implementing my advice every day. He has generated over ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY leads in just 30 days and now spends his time on follow up. Another coaching student sent out 20 direct mailers and got 5 listings, but then got “busy”. This second student of mine had no “system”. The stuff that really needed to get done couldn't happen unless he pulled himself out of the business and made it happen. That's a big mistake. Working ON your business means planning for success. Working IN your business means fighting daily fires. If you allow yourself to become too busy to advertise, what will happen to your business? (Right, your business will die!) Unfortunately, traditional training for real estate doesn't teach this. Even my veteran agents had to struggle with this concept. They learned that if they didn't schedule a time to work ON their business, it just never happened! That's very common and you should do exactly what they ended up doing — schedule a specific time. My book deconstructs this entire process in a very easy-to-follow plan tailored specifically to you. What a business looks like The benefits you will get from working ON your business are many. At the end of the day you will have: Done something that will generate future income for yourself Systemised all aspects of your business, enabling you to automate more stuff that will free up even more time for you The more you stop working IN the daily routines of your business that don't really require you, the more time you will free up to not only work ON the big stuff, but also to take time off (while still getting paid big bucks!) Now THAT is what a REAL business looks like. P.S. I'm opening up pre orders soon. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/propertyagentsecrets/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/propertyagentsecrets/support

What drives you to keep going in property? One of the fascinating questions that serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist Jay Dhillon poses to Mark for The Business Mentor Podcast. They talk about Mark's childhood in Singapore, how he got into property and the rights and wrongs of politics and property in 2019. Listen here for a conversation on learning from two experts in property, and business.     KEY TAKEAWAYS What are you doing at the moment? I’ve got three projects on the go at the moment. Our biggest project is just under 100 flats. I’ve got another project, with a commercial tenant on the ground floor with some residencies above. I’m doing lots of different things, with various different projects.    How was your childhood? I was born in Singapore and came back to England when I was around 12. I went to an international school in Jakarta in Indonesia. Jakarta is a crazy city, pollution, and people everywhere. I learnt the local dialect and played outside with the other kids in the area. I’ve found that to be a really useful experience in dealing with very different types of people.     Private schools give you a bigger network and a bigger outcome. The difference between the mindset of the private school, and the local college in the area is massive. The people I met at college are all doing more vocational things like dentists, doctors, and solicitors. Whereas the private school went more into business, and are earning lots of money. There is no right and wrong, but if you have the opportunity to invest in your children you can.     The academics are really useful. If my child wants to go to university, I’ll encourage them to but at the expense of life skills, I think that’s wrong. I think if you can have academic skills, and have business skills, rather than just what a textbook says then that’s even better.     In 1997/98 it was like the gold rush, and the market was ripe. My father had worked across the globe and met a lot of business people. He knew that business and property was a good route to go down. My friend had made over £70,000 on property and even without planning permission added an extension. I got really into property books, videos, learning loads. I met a local letting agent who'd figured out which properties were good to buy in Peterborough, which is where I started really.    I’d bought lots of properties abroad especially in Eastern Europe and Florida. So I thought that when they would enter into the EU there would be an increase in the middle class and the property values would go up. What I didn’t realise was that I didn’t know the local knowledge. It’s really exciting to have international property, but the yields are really low, and the maintenance will be very high. Everything that you’ve learnt in the UK is wrong abroad, and you have to learn it all again. There is lots of corruption in various different places around the world, and it’s really difficult to work out the local rules if you’re not from there.    Treat your property as a business, so systemise it. The one guarantee in business is that it will change. If your systemising your business, doing monthly management accounts, and getting your viewings and inspections sorted then you are going to find it easier to adapt to the change. You’ll find it easier to grow your business because you are able to find out what is working and what isn’t.     Do you think the middle class now are being hammered, so you need to grow all the time? You need to grow otherwise you are in decline. If you carry on doing what you’re doing and not grow, then you will fail. We’ve had various changes in the legislation, and it will all happen again. Make sure you get a really good accountant, who’ll be able to save loads of money for your tax bill.    Let’s talk about Jeremy Corbyn if he did get into power what would happen? People were concerned about the Labour party before but Tony Blair turned out to be quite a light touch. He says he will introduce rent control, but hasn’t given out any specifics on that. Dependant on how that is introduced could be positive or negative. He says he is going to nationalise, water, and rail. With big companies, he says he will give 10% of the shareholders to the staff, but I don’t know how that is going to work in practice because they are so divested. I don’t think he will be a sustainable model. The debacle that is the EU is costing the country millions in decisions not taken, and uncertainty.    Which property/business strategies will work in 2019, and why? In business and property it’s best to find what you love and what you’re good at. If you’re good at marketing then build a business that needs that skill. Build a team around you who are good at the things that you are not good at. It’s better to do what you love rather than what’s hot in the media at the minute.     What drives you? What keeps you going? I like driving income, and rent roll, I like having a bigger and bigger wall of money to hit the back account every month. I find that very exciting, more than the value of the properties. I get a lot of pleasure in learning from others in the training business we have. We are able to have choices, travel and buy the right house that I want.     Where would you start in property now? I would buy single lets, under £140,000, probably stuff that has been built in the 1970’s. West Midlands, and in the North are probably best rather than in the South. Cut your teeth, and make some mistakes before moving to HMO’s. You don’t have to move up, just do what you enjoy.     What mentors have helped you? There have been loads of different people over the years. I have a lot of friendships who’ve done lots of different things, often in their 50’s and 60’s who have been there and done it all. I had more informal type mentors.     Best Moments  ‘My background was really good for helping me deal with lots of different people.’  ‘There were other people at boarding school whose family owned big businesses.’  ‘Through those years I learn loads and loads about business.’  ‘I think the network is worth everything.’  ‘Private school kids all wanted to go into business.’  ‘We are a reflection on what we have been taught.’  ‘Network is your net-worth.’  ‘You can’t learn everything in a textbook.’  ‘Take the calculated risk.’  ‘I got really really excited with property.’  ‘Everything that you’ve learnt in the UK is wrong abroad, and you have to learn it all again.’  ‘It’s really exciting to have international property, but the yields are really low, and the maintenance will be very high’  ‘Investing in the UK works.’  ‘You do end up making more money in markets that are more efficient.’  ‘There is one guarantee in business is that it will change.’  ‘Systemisation is key.’  ‘You have to be growing otherwise your declining.’  ‘The value of getting a good accountant is priceless.’  ‘Accountants are not a consultant unless you pay them to.’  ‘Do your own research, and take your questions to the accountant.’  ‘I think Corbyn is going to go on a spending spree.’  ‘I think it will be an unsustainable model.’  ‘Politicians have been telling so many lies.’  ‘Theresa May is like the school teacher keeping it all together.’  ‘If you are making products, uncertainty on the price of your produce., is unacceptable.’  ‘Uncertainty is affecting business everyday because of Brexit.’  ‘I like driving income, and rent roll’    Valuable Resources  E-Myth   Life's Leverage     ABOUT THE HOST  Mark Homer  Mark Homer is an entrepreneur investor.  He has worked with investment since he was 15 years old using the laws of wealth! He is a spreadsheet analyst with an impressive following from major publications including BBC Radio, The Wall Street Journal, The Independent, as well as co-authoring the UK’s best-selling property books.  Mark has always looked for the best investment vehicle, and at the end of 2007 with Rob Moore the co-founder of Progressive Property his joint portfolio produced more profit than any of the other investments he’d tried in the last ten years, combined.    Jay Dhillon  Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same. From humble beginnings, Jay grew his first business from 0-500 employees and three locations, racking up sales of over £30 million – all without any investment other than a small amount of savings. The business went on to acquire major clients such as Landrover, Jaguar, Toyota and New Look, to name a few.  Its huge success inevitably brought about outside interest and at the age 33 Jay eventually sold the company to a London investment firm in Doyen Resources. Today, Jay owns several businesses in different sectors and helps entrepreneurs achieve success.  A calling to give back and help others led to Jay being chosen for the highly-coveted role as a Prince’s Trust mentor, where his achievements were marked by a personal invitation to Buckingham Palace to meet Prince Charles.  After helping several young entrepreneurs to success as a mentor for the Trust, Jay’s burning desire to bring his wisdom and knowledge to a wider audience ultimately triggered the concept of The Business Mentor Podcast.  Jay feels that anyone can achieve success in business with the right advice and mentoring and is now sharing his knowledge with his growing audience via his podcast.  In the UK alone 95% of business fail within the first five years and Jay’s aim is to reduce that number.  Backed with the hard-earned knowledge and experience from his time in business, The Business Mentor Podcast will share Jay’s personal business lessons as well those of other successful entrepreneur guests who share their wisdom and secrets on the show.    CONTACT METHOD - Mark Homer  Markhomer@progressiveproperty.co.uk  https://www.linkedin.com/in/markhomer1  https://www.facebook.com/markprogressive  https://twitter.com/markprogressive    Contact Method - Jay Dhillon  Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/business-mentor-podcast/id1370793386   Website: https://www.jay-dhillon.com   TwitteR: https://twitter.com/jaydhillonuk     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What drives you to keep going in property? One of the fascinating questions that serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist Jay Dhillon poses to Mark for The Business Mentor Podcast. They talk about Mark's childhood in Singapore, how he got into property and the rights and wrongs of politics and property in 2019. Listen here for a conversation on learning from two experts in property, and business.   Key Takeaways What are you doing at the moment? I’ve got three projects on the go at the moment. Our biggest project is just under 100 flats. I’ve got another project, with a commercial tenant on the ground floor with some residencies above. I’m doing lots of different things, with various different projects.   How was your childhood? I was born in Singapore and came back to England when I was around 12. I went to an international school in Jakarta in Indonesia. Jakarta is a crazy city, pollution, and people everywhere. I learnt the local dialect and played outside with the other kids in the area. I’ve found that to be a really useful experience in dealing with very different types of people.   Private schools give you a bigger network and a bigger outcome. The difference between the mindset of the private school, and the local college in the area is massive. The people I met at college are all doing more vocational things like dentists, doctors, and solicitors. Whereas the private school went more into business, and are earning lots of money. There is no right and wrong, but if you have the opportunity to invest in your children you can.   The academics are really useful. If my child wants to go to university, I’ll encourage them to but at the expense of life skills, I think that’s wrong. I think if you can have academic skills, and have business skills, rather than just what a textbook says then that’s even better.   In 1997/98 it was like the gold rush, and the market was ripe. My father had worked across the globe and met a lot of business people. He knew that business and property was a good route to go down. My friend had made over £70,000 on property and even without planning permission added an extension. I got really into property books, videos, learning loads. I met a local letting agent who'd figured out which properties were good to buy in Peterborough, which is where I started really.   I’d bought lots of properties abroad especially in Eastern Europe and Florida. So I thought that when they would enter into the EU there would be an increase in the middle class and the property values would go up. What I didn’t realise was that I didn’t know the local knowledge. It’s really exciting to have international property, but the yields are really low, and the maintenance will be very high. Everything that you’ve learnt in the UK is wrong abroad, and you have to learn it all again. There is lots of corruption in various different places around the world, and it’s really difficult to work out the local rules if you’re not from there.   Treat your property as a business, so systemise it. The one guarantee in business is that it will change. If your systemising your business, doing monthly management accounts, and getting your viewings and inspections sorted then you are going to find it easier to adapt to the change. You’ll find it easier to grow your business because you are able to find out what is working and what isn’t.   Do you think the middle class now are being hammered, so you need to grow all the time? You need to grow otherwise you are in decline. If you carry on doing what you’re doing and not grow, then you will fail. We’ve had various changes in the legislation, and it will all happen again. Make sure you get a really good accountant, who’ll be able to save loads of money for your tax bill.   Let’s talk about Jeremy Corbyn if he did get into power what would happen? People were concerned about the Labour party before but Tony Blair turned out to be quite a light touch. He says he will introduce rent control, but hasn’t given out any specifics on that. Dependant on how that is introduced could be positive or negative. He says he is going to nationalise, water, and rail. With big companies, he says he will give 10% of the shareholders to the staff, but I don’t know how that is going to work in practice because they are so divested. I don’t think he will be a sustainable model. The debacle that is the EU is costing the country millions in decisions not taken, and uncertainty.   Which property/business strategies will work in 2019, and why? In business and property it’s best to find what you love and what you’re good at. If you’re good at marketing then build a business that needs that skill. Build a team around you who are good at the things that you are not good at. It’s better to do what you love rather than what’s hot in the media at the minute.   What drives you? What keeps you going? I like driving income, and rent roll, I like having a bigger and bigger wall of money to hit the back account every month. I find that very exciting, more than the value of the properties. I get a lot of pleasure in learning from others in the training business we have. We are able to have choices, travel and buy the right house that I want.   Where would you start in property now? I would buy single lets, under £140,000, probably stuff that has been built in the 1970’s. West Midlands, and in the North are probably best rather than in the South. Cut your teeth, and make some mistakes before moving to HMO’s. You don’t have to move up, just do what you enjoy.   What mentors have helped you? There have been loads of different people over the years. I have a lot of friendships who’ve done lots of different things, often in their 50’s and 60’s who have been there and done it all. I had more informal type mentors.   Best Moments ‘My background was really good for helping me deal with lots of different people.’ ‘There were other people at boarding school whose family owned big businesses.’ ‘Through those years I learn loads and loads about business.’ ‘I think the network is worth everything.’ ‘Private school kids all wanted to go into business.’ ‘We are a reflection on what we have been taught.’ ‘Network is your net-worth.’ ‘You can’t learn everything in a textbook.’ ‘Take the calculated risk.’ ‘I got really really excited with property.’ ‘Everything that you’ve learnt in the UK is wrong abroad, and you have to learn it all again.’ ‘It’s really exciting to have international property, but the yields are really low, and the maintenance will be very high’ ‘Investing in the UK works.’ ‘You do end up making more money in markets that are more efficient.’ ‘There is one guarantee in business is that it will change.’ ‘Systemisation is key.’ ‘You have to be growing otherwise your declining.’ ‘The value of getting a good accountant is priceless.’ ‘Accountants are not a consultant unless you pay them to.’ ‘Do your own research, and take your questions to the accountant.’ ‘I think Corbyn is going to go on a spending spree.’ ‘I think it will be an unsustainable model.’ ‘Politicians have been telling so many lies.’ ‘Theresa May is like the school teacher keeping it all together.’ ‘If you are making products, uncertainty on the price of your produce., is unacceptable.’ ‘Uncertainty is affecting business everyday because of Brexit.’ ‘I like driving income, and rent roll’   Valuable Resources E-Myth Life's Leverage   ABOUT THE HOST AND GUEST Jay Dhillon Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same.

In this episode Amanda looks at a few businesses and discusses whether technology is the cause of their downturn or demise and whether technology is, in fact, the answer to a lot of growing businesses needs.

In this special episode, John interviews  David Diack who is very successfully using systemisation and outsourcing in his SA business. John shares his expertise on how you can effectively outsource and systemise your business to enable scalability. Listen in now to find out how to get started. KEY TAKEAWAYS Getting started I had no experience but started out on my own with a business. We grew rapidly and things went up very quickly, this was followed by them coming down very quickly. I had at this point an opportunity to re-evaluate this is when I began my journey into the property business. I learnt loads through my first business about how to manage growth and took all this learning on and applied it to businesses I’ve started since then. Our current business model We are currently involved in Serviced apartments. These are essentially 2 or 3-bed apartments that fill the gap between a letting agency who will take on a tenant for 6 months plus. We provide furnished accommodation for anything less than 6 months. It could be a single night or be 3 months depending on the client. Our fully furnished apartments vary in size from studio to accommodation with 9 rooms. We do lots of business with blue-chip companies who don’t want their employees in hotels for long periods. Systemising Our administration is dealt with in the Philippines, with a second team on the ground who offer day to day support. How to start systemising? Document and collate everything you do in a week and then focus on sections you can streamline. Identify where you can create a process and do this utilising an available app.  This can eventually be outsourced. Ways to outsource? You can use freelance people to complete work without all the overheads involved with employing someone. BEST MOMENTS ‘You can find anybody for anything’ ‘The attitude of people is really good’ ‘It’s a fair exchange of time for money’ ‘You could potentially outsource quite a lot of work’ ‘Often need to run lean when you first start’ ‘Systems can be a daunting word’ VALUABLE RESOURCES https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-streetwise-tradesman-mentor-podcast/id1446316337?mt=2 ABOUT THE HOST I am John Clarke. A guy in my 30’s with a successful business portfolio. My journey really started, when I got on the wrong side of the law at 15 years old, with a short stay in prison, but fortunately, this was the beginning of my journey despite struggling with mental health difficulties I managed to get on the right path and here I am setting up this podcast... I’m looking forward to sharing my story and much more with the world. I have loads of experience in business and self-development.

   ABOUT THE GUEST After spending many years chasing my tail in the office supplies industry, I realised that I had more to give than just managing staff in my business. The office supplies industry is an extremely competitive industry. With technology changing the way businesses buy, and internet-based suppliers cutting margins, I always had to be one step ahead, looking at how to get jobs done for less money, right from an early age. ... So, Outsourcing to all around the world became second nature very quickly! Having worked with sales coaches who helped push the business forward, it became clear that there was a huge gap in the business... It was Systemisation. It’s great to grow a business and generate more sales, but if you don’t have solid systems or a team in place to support the growth, it can all come tumbling down pretty quickly and descend into Chaos! Learning from my mistakes in the office supplies industry, I’ve transferred my experiences to help successfully build a Serviced Accommodation business that focuses on systemisation and outsourcing, to give me my time back to focus on either scaling or taking time out... Once you realise the power of doing things the right way, you can build a sustainable, solid business and Scale with ease...

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of The Business of Dance Podcast. Today I will be discussing an important topic and one that you may have heard me touch on before but have yet to have a full episode about. If you know me at all you know I am ALL about systemisation when it comes to implementing and organising tasks within my studio. With this world of technology, we live in and all the tools available to us at our fingertips why not take advantage of them to organising all the carefully designed tasks at our studio? We see so many businesses nowadays implementing systems, so why not for dance studios?! If big multi-billion dollar organisations have systems in place to run their businesses properly and on track, imagine what we could do with our own businesses of dance, no matter how small! Maybe you don’t have big dreams for your studio and just want to keep in small, local and running more smoothly, maybe you want to grow to several locations all across your country or state. Regardless of your personal dreams for your studio, systemisation can help you and your studio reach its goals and highest potential, so you can bring your dream business into a reality! Maybe the whole idea of systemisation seems overwhelming when you first start, especially if you feel you don’t have the time or are not tech savvy. But today I will be going through the important and practical steps you can take today to get your studio's essential tasks in order, and all in one place. This will start to give you the confidence you need to move forward with your business without the stress, giving it the ability to scale & thrive, while you have more free time, and who doesn’t want that? So let drive right into the episode!   What are the most important tasks in your studio? A great place to start is to first take note of all the important tasks for your studio, and write them down as you do them. This will help you identify what tasks need to completed when, and how you like them to be done. By determining your important tasks you can set out a plan in place and start to categorize your tasks so you can break them down into digestible tasks to show others or to remind yourself in the future.   Delegate Once you understand what tasks are fundamental in running your studio and how to complete them, you can start to automate these tasks by outsourcing to a VA, admin or another team member. The point of these systems is that they are organised and outlined in order for you to pass on these tasks to almost anyone in your team, giving you the time and freedom to focus on running your studio and the bigger projects at hand.   Choose a program to systemise with The best way to keep track of these systems, edit them and delegate to other team members is to choose a program that helps you put these systems in place. There are many programs out there but the main ones I have found to work well is Trello & Asana. Personally, I use Trello for my studio but you can find a program that works best for you which you feel comfortable with and that your team will enjoy. In these programs, you can write out tasks, create lists, boards and assign tasks to others, and even see the progression of a certain task. Repeat After choosing a program, write out your tasks and know which tasks you can delegate to your team, you can then save these tasks which you can use in the future! There will be many one-off tasks but the ones you know you will use time and time again can be saved so that all you have to do in the future is copy and paste for yourself or even a team member to complete. When repeating and reusing a task, you can always add more notes in or adjust what didn’t work as well last time, so that you are always progressing but not having to write out each and every task every time you do it. So there are my top 4 tips on how to get started with systemising your studio! If you are wanting to learn more about systemising your studio and become a Studio Systems Master, I am launching my Studio Systems School on April 9th! This small group program will go in depth in how to systemise every aspect of your studio for the years to come, which will help you grow, scale, and transform their business into an empire resulting in ultimate profitability & success! This group program is for those are wanting extra support and accountability, as it includes an online community support group with others taking the course. Alternatively, if you are wanting a solo experience I have a 1:1 coaching program which helps you become your best Studio Systems CEO! If this is something you are interested in, you can visit my website for more information www.claireosheacoaching.com/programs I hope that these tips help you to start systemising your studio and creating an idea how to run your studio in a more manageable and organised way for you and your team.   Systemise for success masterclass video: www.claireosheacoaching.com/systemiseforsuccessvideo  Masterclass signup for March 25th www.claireosheacoaching.com/systemiseforsuccess    For more Business Of Dance please, like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram @claireosheacoaching.
