In this very special episode, The Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast meets The Property Nomads to mix it up and share their wealth of knowledge with each other’s audiences!

Catherine is joined by Rob Smallbone, avid traveller, property investor, entrepreneur, and fellow podcast evangelist for anyone looking to make the leap into a leveraged lifestyle through investment and determination.

Both Catherine and Rob are fierce proponents of shaping their own destinies, and have each settled upon different strategies in order to ensure that they and those they love can enjoy the lives they choose. Listen now as they both share the stories of their personal journeys, as well as practical and heartfelt advice on how you can do the same.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Rob spent much of his formative years on the road, making his way from country to country, ultimately visiting forty-five on his way to finding himself. When he returned from his travels, he determined to change his life for the better, and found a business of his own rather than go back to full-time employment.
• A leveraged lifestyle will mean different things to different people. For some it’s financial freedom, for others it’s about balance and family, while for others it might be the freedom to travel or enjoy life at their own pace. 
• One of the main issues for those in the property business, and especially the serviced accommodation business, can be that when you are let down by your team, you may have to fill in yourselves. For those who are often travelling, or even running things from a remote location, this can be a problem as they’re simply not present. It’s vitally important to make sure you have a strong team. Having a power team behind you who can take responsibility for sudden cracks in the business will ensure that your life can continue when problems arise.
• You also need to separate yourself from operations gradually. It’s no good simply dropping everything at once. Rob recommends stepping away for one day a week, then two, and slowly building up your freedom. This will allow your power team and operations to acclimatise to their new responsibilities.
• Focus is very important, especially at the beginning. It’s all about identifying your values and goals. It’s also about focussing on your strategy and sticking to it. Dissuade yourself from chasing “shiny penny after shiny penny”.
• Catherine’s business mission statement is “Empowering people to live the life of their dreams”. This is a purposefully broad statement that allows Catherine to operate in any way she chooses (podcasting, networking), but always with the same aim. By creating the lifestyle of her dreams, Catherine is now able to focus more of her time into her passion, namely sustainability and global concerns.
• Both Catherine and Rob stress the importance of learning from others, whether that’s a mentor, or even someone you simply admire in business. By learning from the path they’ve walked, we can save ourselves the pain of learning the hard way.
• You are 100% responsible for everything that happens in your life. This can be terrifying to some, especially those who prefer to see themselves as a victim. But it’s also a very powerful message that can have an extraordinarily empowering effect upon your life. Use it as a spur to kick-start your dream life as soon as possible.

ABOUT THE HOST

Catherine is an iTunes No.1 podcast host of Leveraged Lifestyle, entrepreneur, businesswoman, an Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Co-Director of Ideal-Collective.com and a mum of 2!

Catherine quit being an employee in 2013, after working more than 50+ hours on average a week, over 3 jobs. Jobs, hours and a lifestyle which led to a diagnosis of clinical depression before the age of 25.

In 2011/12 Catherine discovered the power of investing in property, and tried many different property investment strategies over the years, finally settling on Serviced Accommodation in 2015, which has now grown from one unit in her home town of Chelmsford, Essex to over 50 across the UK, helping investors, landlords and developers create a better return on their money or property.

This year, Catherine and her husband Stephen, also her business partner, joined forces with the Directors of LoLite Homes to create the Ideal-Collective.com, which is all about leveraging the services and knowledge of all four Directors when it comes to Serviced Accommodation, Social Media, Finance & Virtual Assistants.

Catherine started Leveraged Lifestyle podcast to give business owners and those not leading their ideal lifestyle, to learn the mindset and skill set it takes to create a lifestyle of Freedom, by leveraging time, money & knowledge and using outsourcing and systemisation.
