KEY TAKEAWAYS

Starting a business

• When you are running your own business it’s hard work, but it stops being your job because you are doing what you want to do.
• If you are beginning in business you must be prepared to learn something new every day.
• Once you know how to run your business successfully you can expand on it and become the best in your niche.
• It’s what you are doing that counts and the only competition you have is inside of you.

How did property come into the equation?

• I began with window cleaning and said ‘yes’ to everything additional I was asked to do, such as repairs, after 3 months I left the window cleaning behind me and moved across to property maintenance.
• We used any excess materials to renovate a series of small terrace houses which we purchased, renovated and sold. Each refurbishment was completed in a very short time frame to enable us to move on as quickly as possible.
• There isn’t a shortcut you have to go up the ladder one step at a time and if you keep going you will succeed.

Scaling up

• At that time for every 4 properties completed the fourth was all profit and we grew year by year.
• Start small, focus on each day, keep reinvesting the money and don’t be afraid to borrow money to grow your business.
• Debt is personal, it is things that go down in value and that you don’t need.
• An investment is something that will go up in value, you can work to make more.
• In property, lots of people think they can come in at a higher level but in reality, they need to come in at a lower point in order to learn about property investment and earn the trust of potential lenders.
