KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Complementary skills lead to success. Recognise your weaknesses and find a partner who can fill those gaps. It's not about being good at everything.
- Transparency and authenticity set you apart - don't try to be someone you're not. Agents and landlords value real over scripted.
- Go all in locally at first in property. When first starting out, focus on your immediate area to leverage connections and manage issues hands-on.
- Outsource what doesn't drive you.
- Block your calendar ruthlessly including non-negotiable self-care rituals like the gym. Scheduling brings sanity.
- Talk about the tough stuff with your business partner learn how to voice overwhelm and get back on track.
- Skill beats script, you can learn systems but not innate personality. Play to your natural strengths.
BEST MOMENTS
"People perceive us in a certain way, and I think even our friends and family, it wasn’t until we hosted a New Year’s Eve party at our penthouse that people actually turned up and they were like, oh."
"Just go into the shop be confident strong handshake have a business card be prepared”
" I have self-respect and I have morals and I have ethics and that means so much more."
"I think I was slightly perimenopausal last year as well because there was something going on where I was getting up from bed and I was tired."
"We literally just pick each other up and just sit in the car crying, wouldn't we, for ages. And the other one would just be like just hold space."
HOST BIO
Alex & Pooh have built a portfolio of over 16 Serviced Accommodation Units and 10 Buy-To-Lets collectively over the last 5 years.
This AirBnB Business has allowed each of them to create their own tailor made ‘lifestyle by design’.
Pooh chose to escape the corporate life as an electrical engineer instead to spend his time at home with his young and growing family, and Alex likes to spend most of his time in sunny Spain enjoying his love for road cycling or even hiking in the Tramuntana mountain ranges.
