Launching and Running Multiple Successful Businesses with Steven Pardoe
In this episode, Jeannette talks to Steven Pardoe who is the managing director of DOMO Developments. They provide both investors and owners with safe, secure, and calculated property investment opportunities. He explains how he started in sales, then set up multiple successful international businesses before switching direction and getting involved in the property industry.
Steven explains why entrepreneurs need to become comfortable with selling – themselves, their ideas, their accommodation, or other product or service. They discuss many subjects, including, how to set up a strong business partnership, hire the right people, retain your staff, and recognize a sound investment.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Property businesses have fewer overheads and are simpler than many other business models.
- We are all selling, all of the time. Even if it is just sharing our opinion. When you do that, you are selling your take on things to the listener.
- Selling is not sleazy. It is normal, get comfortable with it and learn to be good at it.
- Working in other countries or with international partners is a great way to expand your horizons, improve your communication skills and be able to work with anyone.
- Most property-related business models create positive cash flow.
- Once you are established it becomes easier to do big projects, which has many benefits that Steven explains in the podcast.
- Spend money at the start to start your business properly.
- When you fail, learn from it. Often, it is your failures that teach you the most.
- Most businesses plateau and you lose enthusiasm after 5 to 7 years. Plan to sell before that happens.
- Give your staff what they want. Don´t assume that is always more money, it could be flexible working so they can spend more time with their families.
- Know from day one what you and each partner is responsible for.
- Put in place formal legal agreements that also cover how things will be handled should things go wrong.
- Take time for your family.
- Be brave enough not to automatically listen to the opinions of others.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Everyone sells, I just don´t think they really admit it. ´
‘Everything for us has always been about positive cash flow.’
‘One of my biggest mistakes has been staying in businesses too long and not having an exit.’
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
