“Your Net Worth Is Your Network.” 

Does this statement make you look around and realise; Who really in your circle, that you surround yourself with? If it does, then it’s time to know whether your tribe is the best fit for you. 

In this episode of the Property Entrepreneur Podcast, Gordon – despite having colds – shares with us some tips on how you choose the people you surround yourself with. Whether it be for your business networks, your personal lifelines, or your employees.  

When you are creating these relationships, it’s important also to make sure that everyone involved benefits through guidance, mentorship, or other needs. It’s always good to always take a step back and review if they are meant to stay for a short while or for a good long one so you know how you will nurture it. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • Gordon’ highlights this week: 
  • He’s improving his conversational and speaking skills for the podcast. As much as possible he wants every conversation to be lively, engaging, and insightful. 
  • There was not much activity since he had an ear infection, throat infection, and colds. But he has quickly improved despite the sickness. Gordon advises not to push yourself hard when such unforeseen setbacks happen. Get some rest and regain energy. 
  • Build a good team around you and nurture the relationships. 
  • In the property world, create a solid foundation with your chosen state agents, letting agents, builders, refurbishers, accountants, JV partners, etc. You can find them at networking events, classes, or meetings. Establish trust with them. 
  • For your non-property needs, get a great set of people who could help you grow or could offer you assistance regarding your health, lifestyle, career, business, and any other aspects of your life. Get a mentor, a trainer, and a professional health practitioner among others. 
  • Grow your skill set as you go forward. You can grow it together with the people around you. You can receive and offer guidance with these people. Remember that it won’t be a healthy relationship and a fruitful learning process if it isn’t two-way. It is also very fulfilling to see the person on the other end growing, not just you. 
  • As your business grows, you may need to recruit some people. Gordon says it’s better to recruit based on an individual’s mindset rather than talent. The person doesn’t have to be an expert in his field. Skills can be thought as long as the person you recruit has the perseverance, drive, and motivation. Of course, the best thing that could happen is you get an individual who has the same mindset as you are and has world-class skills. 

BEST MOMENTS 

“Keeping in mind and changing your strategy as the world around you kind of evolves and develops. As a situation develops, kind of react to it but not in a knee-jerk type of way but in a planned, thought out and logical way.” 
  • “The people you have around you, the people you surround yourself with, the people that you deliver value to, and the people that deliver value to you are how you move through life.” 
  • “It’s about positioning yourself with a good team around you and knowing who does what so you can be one step ahead of the competition. 
  • “It’s all about bringing your value to the table on helping those guys as much as possible.”
