Before the Hammer Falls and its authors have had a huge impact on my Expat Property Story in 2022, as revealed in Season Two of the podcast (Episodes 35-53) and as such sits in second place in our Top Ten Books for Expat Property Investors.

This book literally delivers what it says on the tin and is packed full of enough information to give you every chance of success buying UK property at auction and contains a chapter about selling too.

This episode is the penultimate bite-sized daily episode celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas 2022.

I love Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell and the only reason it’s not number one in our Top Ten Books for Expat Property Investors is because it’s perhaps less applicable to property than the two titles above it on the list.

Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, and how brilliant decisions are often made in the blink of an eye, but built on the foundation of years of experience. It examines why some people are able to follow their gut and win, while others fail and explores why the best decisions are often those hardest to explain to others.

I explain how this concept has informed my own Expat Property Story.

This episode is the tenth bite-sized daily episode celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas 2022.

 The main message behind The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work And What To Do About It is that, to be successful, you need to work ON your business rather than IN your business.

Michael Gerber’s book sits just outside the top three in our Top Ten Books for Expat Property Investors which forms the basis of this mini-season of daily episodes celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas 2022. 

The  E-Myth Revisited suggests that if your business depends on you, then you don't have a business, you have a job and advises entrepreneurs to aim at creating a business that is system-dependent rather than people dependent.
