Property Lifestyle Mastery Podcast Season 2 Episode 19 | The real reason you aren't getting results - the brutal truth

You’ve got the plan. You’ve got the vision. So why aren’t you getting the results?

In this episode, Detail Dave and I unpack the real reason property investors and business owners get stuck.

Broadcasting from sunny (and stormy) Italy, we reveal how a solid structure isn’t just about productivity. It’s the foundation for accountability, self-awareness, and long-term success.

From weekly check-ins to quarterly rocks, we break down the system that keeps our team and mentees focused — and how that system helps uncover the deeper personal barriers that stop progress in its tracks.

What You’ll Learn:

- Why “I’m too busy” usually means “I’m afraid”

- How to spot when you’re the bottleneck in your own business

- The unexpected truth behind “gut instinct” and emotional decision-making

- The sneaky self-sabotage patterns we ALL face

- And how to break the cycle and actually get things moving again

It’s a juicy one — and it might just shift how you look at your whole to-do list.

Property Lifestyle Mastery Season 2 Ep. 19 | Joint Venture Partners: Both Sides of the Story

You know those stories where something totally unexpected ends up changing your entire business?

Well… this week’s podcast episode is one of those.

It starts with a coffee (that turns into lunch)... and ends with Patrycja Hong & Chris Irvine building a smooth, scalable joint venture that’s helping them grow a property portfolio together.

I’ve brought them both on the podcast this week to share the FULL story — from that first chat to setting up a JV company, dividing roles, and raising finance… all without drama, stress, or overcomplicating it.

Pati and Chris share...

- How they knew they were the right fit to work together

- What actually goes into setting up a JV company (yes, the legal stuff too!)

- Why boring Buy-to-Lets might just be the smartest strategy

- And how shared values make EVERYTHING smoother (especially when life gets messy)

If you’ve been curious about joint venturing — but also a bit scared — this convo will give you a peek behind the curtain of how it can actually work… when done right.

JV Credibility Snapshot: Where Pati & Chris Are Now

- Known each other just 1 year - worked together for the last 9 months

- Purchased 3 properties together (with the 4th deal already agreed!)

- Completed 2 refurbs, well underway on the 3rd

- Raised £250,000 in investor finance

- On track for a +£500,000 portfolio once deal #4 completes

- And the best part? They’re just getting started.

Chris Irvine’s Property Journey

Started in property properly in 2017. Slowly built a small portfolio of BTLs, serviced accommodation, and even a tenant buyer in Northampton.

Learned the hard way: using his own money, buying at market value, and leaving too much in deals.

It wasn’t fast… but it was full of lessons - and it laid the foundation for doing things differently today.

Patrycja Hong's Property Journey

Patty & her partner first dipped into property in 2021.

That first refurb took over a year, as they tried to do everything themselves.

The second project was smoother - but they still hadn’t treated it like a business.

Spent too long dabbling in different strategies… until 2024.

That’s when everything changed:

✅ Found clarity

✅ Defined their vision

✅ Committed to one strategy

DMA gave them the focus and structure - and they’ve been in flow ever since.

Property Lifestyle Mastery Season 2 Episode 18 | Creating a high performing team to support you

In the early days of building our team, I thought I had to have it all together.

Always on. Always strong. Always holding everything.

Spoiler: that didn’t work 😅

This week’s podcast episode is all about the 5 dysfunctions that stop teams from thriving — and how to flip them on their head.

Dom and I talk through:

• The REAL reason your team might be underperforming (and it’s probably not what you think)
• How to turn conflict into connection (yes, really)
• Why commitment isn’t about perfection — it’s about rhythm
• What accountability looks like when roles are messy and evolving
• And how to keep your team focused on results (without barking orders or burning out)

You don’t need to have a big team to get something from this one.

This is relevant whether it’s you and a VA… or you managing investors, suppliers, and an operations team.

This episode will give you clarity and permission to do things differently.

You don’t need to get it all perfect. You just need to keep showing up — and know what to focus on next.

Let’s be honest—most people aren’t short on property training these days.

Courses, webinars, workshops… the info is everywhere.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth:

It’s not the strategy holding you back.

It’s not the market, either.

It’s you.

In this week’s episode, Dom & Dave are spilling the secrets most property training companies won’t tell you—because it’s not the kind of thing that sells seats at a seminar.

They’re diving into:

- Why learning more isn’t enough (and what actually moves the needle)

- The hidden fears and habits that quietly sabotage your progress

- Why success isn’t about more spreadsheets—it’s about getting comfortable with discomfort

- The surprising power of mentorship (when it’s done the right way)

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck, making excuses, or thinking “maybe this strategy just isn’t for me”…

This episode will shift how you think about success—and what it really takes to achieve it.

Property Lifestyle Mastery Season 2 Episode 15 | Impatient AND Patient: the secret of success?

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking… “Why does success feel so hard sometimes?”

Or wondered why some people seem to build momentum effortlessly while others get stuck spinning their wheels…

This episode is for you.

Dom and I sat down (recording live from Italy, no less!) to unpack the real traits we’ve seen time and time again in the most successful business owners—and trust me, they’re not what most people are talking about online.

It’s not about working 24/7.

It’s not about being endlessly positive.

And it’s definitely not about “taking massive action” every minute of the day.

We dive deep into:

Why absolute clarity about what you want is non-negotiable

- How the most successful people are both wildly impatient AND incredibly patient (yep, it’s both)

- The tricky dance between big-picture thinking and rolling up your sleeves to actually get stuff done

- The surprising link between your inner self-talk and your external results (this one really hit me)

- Why having low tolerance for mediocrity can be a secret superpower

Plus, the big mindset shift that’s helped me—and so many of our mentees—find more focus, flow, and freedom in both business and life.

This one’s packed with practical tools, honest insights, and a few laughs along the way too.

Ever looked at your accounts and thought…

“Hang on… where’s all the money gone?!” 😳

If you’re in property, chances are you’ve felt that cash flow chaos—rents coming in, refurb costs going out, investor money flying around—and still no idea what’s actually happening with your money.

In today’s episode, Dom and Dave are diving into exactly that.

They’re unpacking:

- Why most property investors are using the wrong finance support (and paying WAY too much for it)

- The biggest cash flow mistakes property businesses keep making

- Simple ways to finally get a grip on your numbers

- Tax-saving tips your accountant probably isn’t mentioning (but definitely should be!)

PLUS, Dave shares the hilarious (and painfully relatable) story behind this episode’s title: “Where’s the Money, Dude?!”

Trust me, this one’s a must-listen.

Property Lifestyle Mastery Season 2 Episode 13 | The Biggest Deal Killers: how we've been hurt & what we've learnt - with Jackie & Dave

This week's episode is all about the (very real) ways property deals fall apart — either before they’ve even started or right in the messy middle when things get tough.

Dave and I are breaking down the common mistakes that stop property investors in their tracks — not because the deal’s bad, but because they’ve killed it off themselves. From overcautious numbers to assuming you’ll get the same finance product you heard about at a networking event 6 months ago… we’ve seen it all (and yep — we’ve made the mistakes too).

Here’s what we get into:

- Why being “conservative” with your numbers can kill your deals before they’ve even started

- What best / likely / worst case analysis actually looks like (and how to use it properly)

- The hidden costs of bridging & development finance that most people don’t account for

- Why chasing “all money out” deals with high cashflow is usually a fantasy

- And how to optimise your refurb without spending money where it doesn’t move the dial

This one’s full of the honest lessons we’ve learned the hard way — and how to stop making your numbers the reason your deals keep dying.

Who’s got that kind of money?

And what if you mess it up?

On this week’s Property Lifestyle Mastery episode, I’m joined by my fab friend and Deal Maker Accelerator Alumnus Natasha Friend, and we’re diving into the honest, unfiltered truth about what it actually takes to raise your first chunk of investor finance.

- How to talk to investors without feeling cringe

- Wy a website won’t raise the money — but YOU will

- The docs you really need (and when you need them)

Property Lifestyle Mastery Podcast Season 2 Episode 11 | Deal Stacking: the good, the bad & the ugly

Let’s talk deal stacking.

It’s one of those phrases you hear everywhere in property — but what does it actually mean? And more importantly… how do you know if your deal truly stacks?

Dave and I recorded this episode from the very slushy end of ski season in the French Alps (turns out skiing on melting snow isn’t quite the dream 😅). And we’re diving into a crucial part of deal analysis that way too many investors think they’ve nailed… but really haven’t.

This is something we’ve done for years in our own portfolio — almost without realising just how important it is. But when you’ve seen enough deals fall apart (or investors walk away), you start to notice the difference between deals that look good on paper… and ones that actually deliver.

In this episode, we cover:

- Dave’s crystal-clear definition of what a stacked deal actually is

- The tiny hidden costs that quietly wreck your returns

- The 3 types of profit every investor should factor in

- What to include in your deal analysis if you’re raising finance or working with JV partners

Whether you're just getting into deal analysis — or you’ve got a few under your belt — there’s something in here that’ll help you sharpen things up and avoid those “where did all the money go?” moments.

🎧 Tune in to the latest episode of the Property Lifestyle Mastery Podcast — now streaming wherever you get your podcasts.

Let’s get your deals properly stacked 💪
