Routine is Revenue

In this episode, Ildikó  chats with John Hirniak a passionate Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT) who trained in person with Marisa Peer, the developer of the technique. Initially doing so as a way to tackle his own anxiety issues.  John is a serial entrepreneur who has never gone bust. He started selling aged 6, so it is fair to say that his latest new business, which he started aged 60, is not his first rodeo. He is also a qualified Transformational Coach who continues to use Paul Mott as his own personal coach.

John shares his inspiring journey from humble beginnings to building multiple businesses. He reveals the mindset shifts, daily habits, and practical strategies that help him, and his clients to overcome adversity and achieve lasting success.

In this episode, Ildikó chats with Emma Brezan, who spent many years as an NHS practitioner before finding herself, at aged 50, on her deathbed, let down by the very system she served. Emma worked out how to heal herself and learned property investment from Progressive which turned her into the HMO Queen.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Use All of Your Talents: Emma set up 2 new successful businesses. The

FREEDOM™ Method - a coaching framework created out of her recovery that is now a course, a retreat concept, and a series of soon to be published books and as the HMO Queen she also coaches people through property investment.

2. Identify Your Purpose: Investing in property gave Emma structure and helped her survive. But writing and creating the FREEDOM™ Method is what has given her meaning and purpose.

3. Journaling Works : Emma was fiercely against journalling — until she tried it as part of her healing. What started as reluctant scribbles turned into her first book, Fears, Failings & Fulfilment.

4. Turn Pain Into Strength: Address any underlying trauma. When you do, your emotional and much of your physical pain dissipates. Shifting your mindset enables you to truly heal and turn those traumas into a source of strength.

5. Trust Your Intuition: Trust your gut, particularly when navigating challenges.

BEST MOMENTS

Emma: “I was in so much pain; I had gone from working 18-hour days to sleeping for 18 hours.”

Emma: “When the thing chooses you, its obviously the right thing. HMOs found me.”

Emma: I’m starting to teach people how I did it. Then I'm starting actually healing myself physically, and I started thinking about healing myself emotionally, and then when the freedom method stuff started happening.”

Emma: If you live with compassion towards yourself and towards others, there's a better meaning to your life."

Emma: "Freedom stands for finally, reclaiming every element of decision making and outcome and meaning in your life."

In this episode Ildiko interviews her husband, Daniel

KEY TAKEAWAYS

BEST MOMENTS

Daniel: "It was a continuation of my old business, really. So from that point of view, it was just specializing and it's almost just making life a little bit easier for me and less physically demanding."

Ildiko: "How do you see yourself in 20 years' time? Do you think you will have given up work?"

Daniel: "One person working on their own is not scalable. If I've got a contracting team that can install five kitchens a month, then we can work on multiple projects at the same time."

Ildiko: "What I would like to ask on the back of that though... Did you review how you were doing during the year and at the end of the year?"

Daniel: "If you miss the thing twice, that becomes the new routine. People need to be double careful because it's like one day you might not feel it."

Utilising Technology: Leveraging modern technology and social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram can significantly impact property marketing and client engagement. A robust CRM system can streamline operations and improve client communication.
