No one knows more about leveraging their business to achieve their ideal lifestyle than this week’s guest, Catherine Turner, the host of the Leveraged Lifestyle podcast.

This episode sees Catherine delivering a very special keynote address to a select group of attendees, in which she discusses the importance of leveraging and automation, and the ways in which Catherine herself managed to achieve her own leveraged lifestyle.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When we invest in property, we need to make sure that we are leveraging, outsourcing and automating to the best of our abilities, or we risk creating more work for ourselves.

 

• The belief that you are the only person who can run your business is all too common. We need to recognise that we can’t be the best at everything in the world.

 

• Social media is a very useful way of leveraging out the sourcing of clients. Agencies, too, are an invaluable way of handing off tasks so that you can free up your own time.

 

• Finding out about your tenants can often lead to further success. By discovering the lifestyle patterns of guests, you can more accurately predict their future interactions with you.

 

• Finding the right business partner is easy of your strengths and weaknesses are the same. It’s best to partner with someone who can do the things you’re not best at. That way you can cover more bases.

 

• You don’t always need to leverage by means of a person. There are so many systems out there that can help to lighten your load, and they come far cheaper in many cases. Automation is sometimes better than outsourcing.

 

• The systems that Catherine recommends in order to help make your business more exepdient are:
• Audio recordings of calls and meetings - this can make reference far easier
• Evernote - notes that sync between devices
• Lastpass - Ensures the smooth syncing and secure storage of logins and passwords, that can be easily shareable
• Quicktime Player - this can be used to record conversations

 

• VA’s, especially those working abroad, can be utilised at all times of the day. Perhaps they could run elements of your business while you’re asleep, so that you can essentially operate on a twenty-four hours basis.

 

BEST MOMENTS

 

• ‘Who need another day job?’
• ‘It was just me, a telephone, and a laptop’
• ‘For us this was all about building relationships’
• ‘You don’t need to reinvent the wheel’
• ’These things are working whether anyone’s working or not’
• ‘When do we ever have our ducks in a row?’
