‘It’s so important if you have your own business to develop your personal branding, it’s how people know what they are getting when they buy from you’
Personal branding is very topical and Desmond is discussing how you can develop a powerful personal brand and its importance for your business with Nicole Osborne, Chartered Marketer and Personal Branding Coach.
Your message is important, so listen in now to find out how you can be heard.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
When you take the time to define your personal brand it becomes about what makes you
What is personal branding?
It’s the things you tell people so they know what they are getting from you. The clues you give can be in the way you look, the way you communicate, it's your
personality on paper.
You need to know who your audience is, what they are interested in, the value you
can bring to them and where they hang out and then you deliver that to them
nicely packaged.
Personal branding is about your tone of voice, the imagery you use, your brand
values and how you engage with people.
Personal branding is all about picking the audience you want to work with, getting to
know them and what their questions are and then putting yourself out there.
When you are at the start of the journey what advice would you give?
If you want to build up a personal brand then you begin by learning about yourself.
Make a conscious choice about what you are happy to reveal about yourself, because your audience will want to get to know you and will expect to know about you and your life.
If you struggle with doing your own branding and marketing outsource when you can it’s a worthwhile investment.
You need to consider how to position yourself to solve your audience's problems and
challenges in a better way.
Think back on some of the real conversations you have had with customers what are the things they want to know?
If you are developing a personal brand it is important to understand what your values are, what are the things that make you uniquely different.
Creating a personal brand is like creating your shop window to the world and you want to put your best version of it forward.
Go for your dreams and don’t let anyone tell you that you can't do it
The investment up front in yourself will pay off over time

BEST MOMENTS
‘Developing your own personal brand takes time but it’s a key investment’
‘Your aim is to become the ‘go to’ person in your area or industry and you will not
achieve it by hiding away and being very vanilla about things’
‘It’s much easier to be who you truly are’
‘Done is better than perfect, don’t compare yourself to people who’ve been
doing it for years’

ABOUT THE HOST
I don’t know how this works, but you’re here now listening (hopefully) about my
exciting life, so I’m going to try and make this worth your while. I never got
inspired at school, I was too busy trying to impress my peers, chasing girls,
and being a fool to get inspired. I rejected school. But let me tell you
something for free! That was a mistake! I spent the next 15 years in jobs I
hated, with no direction, lacked purpose, and motivation for life. Yes, big
words, but that was me in a box. A slave to the system! Fast forward to today,
and well, I’m not sitting in my ivory tower or anything, but I love life and my
career. Yeah, it’s both painful and exciting rolled and wrapped up into one
giant subway, and who doesn’t love subway rite? The point is, you only get one
life, don’t waste it pursuing things you care nothing for, invest in YOURSELF
and grow as a person, be the best YOU by putting YOU first!

June 25, 2019What do I Talk About
Content Creation For Marketing
If you’re thinking twice if you should post that article you wrote or video you made for your own page, Desmond advises that you just do it! It’s time to stop thinking of what others might think. There will be a few who will benefit from that post. As long as you’re helping somebody, you’re already doing more than half of the job. And when you think of it, when you gain a single follower for every single post, how many followers, all in all, have you helped and will be helping? Be consistent, and persevere! Start gathering your thoughts, share your knowledge to others, and find out how you can achieve wealth with it.
Discover more on how you can start improving your business’ content creation when you tune in to today’s episode of the More With Moreira Podcast!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Come from a place of absolute service when you produce content. Your main goal should be able to help somebody. Are they gonna benefit from it?
Share your knowledge and expertise. This is a good place to start since you’re able to market and establish credibility using the knowledge you’ve gained throughout the years.
Stop worrying about what people will think about your first post. It will never be perfect, because you always want to improve it. Just post it since it’s the content that’s the most important, not how you packaged it.
“Ideas are worthless, and implementation is where you make money.” – Daniel Priestley
The only thing where you can make use of those ideas is when you start executing it. For some, people can’t also see how promising what’s inside their head.
Keep creating and posting your content. It might not gain traction today, but it might be useful to someone in the future. Be consistent and persevere.
BEST MOMENTS
“It’s not about what you should talk about, it’s about what you think is relevant to the people in your audience.”
“Your first post will never be perfect.”
“In the end, it’s what I’m saying that is of value, not necessarily how it’s written.”
“Make it easy. It doesn’t have to be difficult.”

June 22, 2019Leases and Litigation With Cassandra Zanelli
Desmond is in discussion with Cassandra Zanelli partner and Head of Property Management at  PM legal, solicitor and honorary consultant to the FPRA.
They discuss leases and leasehold reform along with some of the challenging aspects of being a management agent. This episode explores issues and topics that are pertinent to any agent, listen in to find out more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Leasehold reform
We all know there are areas of leasehold that need reform, it is important as we have an opportunity, to ensure we take the time to review and examine the changes that will make the difference.
There is a large amount of expertise and experience within the pool of agents who should be represented and part of the process of reform.
The group have an important job to do and it will change the landscape of block management.
There is an expectation that things will be better but if the industry wants things to be change positively then it must be prepared to pay more for this.
Leases
There is great variation between leases, there can be different leases on properties within the same block.
Would you prefer a 100-page document that covers every eventuality or 20 pages that may have more wiggle room?
When you are looking at a lease document you can be looking at a document that was written a number of years ago. Trying to interpret it and fit it into the world of today, which is vastly different can be very challenging.
It can be difficult for the leaseholder and management agent to understand leases due to the language and structure of the document.
People should be given much more comprehensive information when they are viewing so they can compare.
There have to be some rules and regulations when you live communally as when you are in a block of flats everything is amplified due to this communal aspect.
Working with a conveyancing solicitor who doesn’t specialise in or is not experienced in leasehold can be very challenging.
Leasehold requires a very specialised and specific area of expertise in the sales process.
Tribunals
When you are attending a tribunal, you have to be very clear about the case and its details.
The advantage with a tribunal is that the problem is being reviewed by experts, a  lawyer chairs the tribunal joined by a surveyor member and a lay member, each contributes specific and very specialist knowledge enabling effective action to resolve issues.
Management agents have a difficult job to do they are expected to be multi-skilled and multi-talented in order to deal with the many different facets of the agent role.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Being transparent and upfront is key’
‘Each site has its own challenges’
‘Sometimes we are so stuck in our ways we don’t embrace change’
‘Owners using properties for Airbnb don’t appreciate the increase in traffic that running as an Airbnb causes’
‘It all has to go back to the leases, do the leases allow for the use of the property for such short term letting?’

June 15, 2019Why You're The Only Competition Worth Beating
‘The race is all about you and winning for yourself’
In this episode, Desmond discusses how beginning training for a marathon has helped him to reflect on the importance of being in the right race.
He encourages us all to connect the dots between the different areas in our lives to achieve balance and success. Listen in for some great tips on how to get in the right race and achieve the results you want.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
We build a mentality where we are always competing with others to win, this can also be seen in the world of business.
When you want to achieve something, you have to do it for you first.
Beating others is not the race that is important or relevant. The race you need to pay attention to is the one with yourself.
When you align your intentions with the person you are trying to be, you begin the only significant race - the one with your heart and mind.
Often we look outwardly at others and what they are doing, and we measure ourselves against them but it’s what you are doing that really counts.
When you do something the question is ‘why’, what is the reason?
It’s about having all things in your life in balance - financial, mental and physical wellbeing all count towards your overall positive state.
If you are trying to move up the ladder, have a great career and be the best you can be all of those other areas of your life will impact on the end result.
The opportunity that we all have is within you and you have the chance to go out and win for yourself.
When you start talking to others about what you want to do they will react in a positive and supportive way.
Share the challenges you have, and you’ll find the right connections and have the right interactions to help you move forward and achieve balance.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Are all the things you are doing now supporting the result you want to achieve?’
‘Whatever you do supports what you are doing in either a negative or positive way’
‘Don’t get ready, be ready’
‘No one holds you back except you’
‘I get help from all sorts of people because I open my mouth, so could you’

June 08, 2019Laying The Foundations for a Supportive Network
‘If you are someone who wants to do the best they can and understands that there are other people who know things that you don’t then this is the place to go, it’s a great opportunity to meet new people’
Desmond explains why attending the upcoming annual IRPM Seminar is important for everyone in the industry. He explains the reason he attends every year and the value of connecting face to face.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
The IRPM seminar is an important annual event and it’s a pivotal moment if you are in the block management sector or property management as its one of the few events where a significant number of people attend.
Don’t see it as a waste of time, it’s the perfect storm there is not another occasion where you can speak with like-minded people who are experiencing the same challenges and overcoming the same problems.
In talking to people, you will find people you want to stay connected with.
If you share an answer with someone it is a very powerful foundation for a future relationship.
It becomes powerful if you are also a resource for others, you can't just take, you have to be willing to be a resource yourself.
if you come from a place of service its then easy to pick up the phone and ask someone else for help.
The rawness of having the conversation provides the opportunity to help.
Sometimes you fashion your own opportunities to help during a conversation.
I got to put a face to a name, I got to have a conversation and there is nowhere else that could happen.
I have people who are willing to help me because I am open and willing to help them.
You’ve got to build a network you can lean on but it’s important you become a resource first, you can’t just start taking from people you have to give first.

BEST MOMENTS
‘If you work in an industry then you are supportive of the industry’
‘Not everyone is going to be a BFF’
‘Every conversation is an opportunity to potentially help someone else’
‘Imagine how we would be able to thrive if we helped each other rather than competing’

June 04, 2019What Shit Are YOU Putting Off?
‘What it is doesn’t really matter, it’s that you are putting shit off in your life that you know you need to do’
Desmond discusses why we procrastinate and the impact this can have not only on us but on others, in the actions we don’t take. He provides some great advice about how to move away from procrastination and take control of your life. Listen in and stop putting shit off in your life now!

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Lots of us put stuff off but we don’t understand the reasons why we do it.
Procrastination is an emotion regulation problem, not a time management problem.
The moment procrastination is planted as a seed it is a behaviour that will grow.
The ripple effect is damaging and can stop you from achieving and being where you are meant to be.
If you can recognise the indicators that you are procrastinating then you will be able to alter what you are doing.
It's not about putting off the big thing, it could be something small. It’s the mindset and attitude that is embedded.
You have to convince yourself that you can do it. The satisfaction of doing something you’ve been putting off is significant.
When you complete the task, you’ve been procrastinating about you will reflect that it wasn’t as difficult or stressful as you thought it was going to be.
The psychological platform that you build from getting on and completing the task has the power to lift you.
It is a positive psychological foundation that you can build on.
It’s not just about the task it’s about the potential opportunity you are missing out on.
Procrastination is a negative that you must rid yourself of and the most important thing is to be aware that you are doing it.
Whatever tasks you are doing, whatever you set yourself to achieve in work or out of work ensure there is the accountability with someone else as this increases the likelihood you will achieve your goals.
Seeking accountability is about being responsible and taking control of your life. People who want to succeed do things to help them achieve and creating a support system through accountability halts procrastination and drives you towards success.

BEST MOMENTS
‘People who want to succeed, put in accountability as part of their support structure to help them achieve their goals’
‘Wrap some accountability around it and see how fast you get to doing the task you’ve been procrastinating about; it changes the whole dynamic’
‘You don’t realise the power and impact of what you do, it’s not just for you’

May 31, 2019What is Your PASSION?
Knowing your purpose makes a big difference in your life – it affects every decision you make, every goal that you set, and every relationship that you get into. So, in this episode of the More With Moreira Podcast, Desmond helps you find your purpose so you could live a meaningful life. If you don’t know where you’re going, then how could you live every single day to the fullest? When you’re clear on your purpose, you’re more determined, more passionate, and more focused to face the day, whether it be full of challenges. It’s different when you know what could the best version of your self can achieve, so tune in now to know more.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Finding your purpose should be the very first thing you should ever do before you make any decisions. It’s your purpose that you’ll strive for every day.
If you think you haven’t found your purpose, it’s okay. Desmond suggests you look into what you’re passionate about since it might be something you can turn into a career or a business.
When you feel stuck in a work that you aren’t passionate about, know that you can turn things around. You can find your passion in somewhere unexpected. Even if your work is very unaligned to what you want, there will be ways on how you can incorporate your passions.
There should be a clear strategy on how to achieve your purpose. Just the desire alone to reach your goals is not enough. This is as important as finding your purpose.
BEST MOMENTS
“When you’re not clear on what your purpose is, how then are you gonna reach that goal?”
“Start with the things you’re passionate about, and pursue those things, because you don’t know where it might lead, and you don’t know where it might go.”
“We develop our passions as we get older.”

May 25, 2019Your Mental Health Matters
Our mental health is as important as our physical health. It’s part of who we are, so we should be well aware of how to keep it healthy every single day.
In this episode of More With Moreira, Desmond brings into light mental health awareness. As much as we hear it more than ever today, people still confuse the term mental health with mental illness. Remember that we all have mental health that we should be kept in check at so we don’t have to deal with mental illness. Mental health exists in every human alive, so as much as possible learn what the signs, symptoms, and treatment of mental illness, and how to care about yours and the people around you – may it be at home, in your workplace or your church group. Discover more about the basics today when you tune in.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Share what you’re feeling to others. Don’t suffer in silence. Let go of what you’re frustrated, worried, or sad about. Knowing that someone listens can already unburden you. In addition, you become more accountable for what steps are you going to do with it.
Think about who or what triggered these feelings of yours. When you understand it, you could limit your exposure to the triggers and move forward. But Desmond emphasises, that sometimes, it might be a combination of different aspects of your life.
In the workplace, it’s difficult to express your feelings since it’s not the norm. Why not start with a conversation with your HR or your immediate supervisor? If it affects the team’s performance, they’ll have to start reaching out to their employees.
Like with our physical well-being, we also have to learn how to keep a healthy mental well-being.
BEST MOMENTS
“If you can raise your own awareness of your own behaviour, you will then get a decision on how to handle it.”
“If you feel that you aren’t having a good day or you wake up with the wrong mindset, you need to be able to take yourself out of the environment that you’re about to put yourself in and be honest with yourself.”
“You can’t be afraid of it because the worst is you keep bottling it up.”

May 21, 2019Delegation, The Importance of Letting Go
‘Delegation, it can either help you or crush and stop you doing what you want to do’
In this episode, Desmond takes an in-depth look at delegation and its vital role in any business.
He explains why it is a skill that is often underdeveloped and offers clear and practical advice on how to successfully delegate in your business to help it grow and flourish. Listen in now and start delegating to help you get where you want to be.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
We struggle with letting go and delegation may not be a skill we have developed.
Most of the time it is because you haven’t trained someone else or think you are the only person who can complete the task.
If you as the owner are not delegating it’s possible there may not be any supporting systems or documentation for the new person in the role and as a result, you continue to be involved.
If you have to do this there is an asset deficiency and you must review what processes and systems you have in place to support people doing the job.
Learn to let go - The business won’t grow and develop unless delegation becomes part of your repertoire and you develop the skill of delegation.
Establish a value for tasks – Create a priority system and allocate every task a monetary value to be associated with it. You’ve got to identify what your time is worth as the senior person. Is it worth you, the owner, completing a low-value task?
Play to peoples strengths - Delegation is about knowing your staff and their strengths. When you are skilled in delegation you are able to successfully pair the right person with the right task ensuring a successful outcome.
Be very specific with instructions - One of the reasons delegation fails is because clear specific instructions are not given. Allocating the task is the first step in the process of delegation, it also requires to follow up and management. You should have comprehensive systems and processes in place so that employees are able to proceed without you.
Once you have given someone a task with clear instructions you must trust them to complete it.
Make sure you are open to feedback - If you are open to feedback going both ways then it can be useful for both you and the other person. It is a learning opportunity enabling you to make improvements.
Lots of the senior people in business are masters of delegation because they recognise the importance of this skill in a successful business.
Delegation is often the person’s problem and it is a skill you have to develop over time. It is a craft you can master and if you do it can be a real power for good in your business.

ABOUT THE HOST
I don’t know how this works, but you’re here now listening (hopefully) about my exciting life, so I’m going to try and make this worth your while. I never got inspired at school, I was too busy trying to impress my peers, chasing girls, and being a fool to get inspired. I rejected school. But let me tell you something for free! That was a mistake! I spent the next 15 years in jobs I hated, with no direction, lacked purpose, and motivation for life. Yes, big words, but that was me in a box. A slave to the system! Fast forward to today, and well, I’m not sitting in my ivory tower or anything, but I love life and my career. Yeah, it’s both painful and exciting rolled and wrapped up into one giant subway, and who doesn’t love subway rite? The point is, you only get one life, don’t waste it pursuing things you care nothing for, invest in YOURSELF and grow as a person, be the best YOU by putting YOU first!
