8 Essential Tips to Build A Property Business Whilst in a Job


Listen Later

There’s no need to quit your full-time job if you want to start your property business today.  

You’ve got so much time—that you may not know of—which we could use to finally realise that business idea. If there are 168 hours per week and assuming you consume 40 hours with work and 56 hours with sleep, then you’ve got free 72 hours weekly.  

In this episode, Kevin gives the 8 essential tips on how you can optimise your precious time. You can even do some of your tasks while at the office, while commuting, or while doing some chores.  

There’s really no reason anymore to make an excuse. Put in that determination and action, everything else will follow. Start tuning in today to the Progressive Property Podcast to learn more. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • Tip #1: Time Management. Commit to one task a day. There are 365 days in a year. That’s a lot of time to grow your business. You can even do the smallest on your busy days and use the weekends for the time-consuming ones. 
  • Tip #2: Go to work early, leave work late. In this way, you can beat the traffic. We can use the time you spend on the road on something more important while you’re at the office waiting.  
  • Tip #3: Listen to podcasts. It’s efficient if we learn about property during our downtime or doing household chores or on our drive home, as long as listening won’t put you in any harm.  
  • Tip #4: Use your break time to build your network and schedule your tasks. Call letting agents, book a viewing. 
  • Tip #5: Could you reduce your hours? Loot at you company policy. There are companies who allow 3-day weekends. But this only applies when you haven’t exhausted all your free time available. 
  • Tip #6: Look for joint venture (JV) partners. Find someone who’s on the same journey as you but have different skillset from you. In this way, it’s easier to split tasks.  
  • Tip #7: Attend as many property networking events. As you learn, you also grow your network. You meet people that will support you in your journey through these property events. Prepare an elevator pitch. 
  • Tip #8: Outsource. Get a virtual assistant, a marketing personnel, or whoever you need to do your some of your tasks. 

BEST MOMENTS 

"You have 168 hours a week, I got 168 hours a week. It’s what we do with those hours that is important.” 
  • “Make the most use of your free time.” 
  • “Your network is your net worth.”
