“Become financially free in 12.5 minutes!”

“Buy 4 houses in 4 days for FREE”

“Become a millionaire, like me, in a few months”

“Want a Ferrari? Follow my 3.142 step secret formula method to riches”

“Just use your credit card, don’t worry about debt, this is an Investment to your future”

Heard all of these before? Can’t escape the FB ads all over your feed?

Property Education is a messy place, it’s so difficult to ascertain who actually adds value and helps people vs those total scammers. Who’s genuine and who’s not.

In this episode, we equip you with the tools to spot good and bad trainers, the signs to watch out for, and the tactics they use when selling.

This was really good fun, and is longer than normal because there was SO much to cover.

The books I mentioned by Ryan Holiday are:

Sorry if my voice sounds rough, I'm struggling these days to produce Podcasts as my voice has been weak and gets me really tired after one episode.

How many times have you heard this total nonsense in your DMs, on people's statuses or even at networking events?

So many people do not understand the basics of pitching their business, they rush, they don’t really care or totally lack passion. James and Tej have both run different business to Property before, where winning business was a key part of the role, and the success of the business. 

We also both receive messages from people daily, where they fail to sell themselves or their business effectively, and have wasted their time. We want this to change, we share our views on Sales, Communication and Relationship building. There are DO’s and DON’Ts which we will take you through, whilst insulting each other and taking heckling from our live audience! (Thursday 10AM join us on Zoom:

Here I talk through the impact it's had on my business, and perhaps you can relate.

We decided to discuss one topic in detail on this show, and it’s not related directly to property. We talked about Relationships, and specifically those with your partner, which is probably the most important one we’ll ever have. 

We aren’t Dr Phil or Maury, but we certainly have good and bad experiences with partners, and creating a business at the same time. It’s vital you get the balance, lifestyle and communication right, amongst other things. It’s easy to put the business first, when actually it doesn’t matter as much as your partner.

Remember who’s there for you through the good and bad, who’s holding your hand through the stress and who’s picking up the pieces when it falls apart. Doubt it’s a business partner.

Welcome to our Deep Meaningful Conversation, where we go into some truths that we’ve never shared before.

On today’s episode, we cover how you can escape an auction purchase, but this is not legal advice nor is it an encouragement to do this! James recently had a case where his Solicitor saved him from completing on what would have been nothing but thin air because the other side Solicitors were lying and being obstructive. Can you believe it? Solicitors lying!⠀

⠀

Fortunately, he was able to get back all his funds and fees, what a result. Pulling out of Auction purchases is not as easy as it sounds, you don’t just lose the deposit, you can face bigger issues which we cover.⠀

 ⠀

We spoke about HATERS or H8rs as you may refer to them as, what they are, why they appear and how to deal with them. You never know who may become one, or reveal themselves as a hater, but trust us you do not need these people in your life. Drop them, like a bad habit.⠀

⠀

We talk about our experiences, the dark side of social media and how to keep your mental health safe with these weirdos.⠀

James had to liquidate a very successful business in the past, and we recorded this on the 2 year anniversary. He shared a lot of insight with us on how it felt, the way it was done and the reasons why. More importantly, we discuss the lessons he has learnt from this that we can all apply to our businesses and lives, to try and protect ourselves.

We touch on company cultures, the way you treat your staff and how to hire great people... and keep them great. We talk about the hardship and pain James faced afterwards as we get into the detail.

We also discuss legal contracts, and why it's so important to get these right from the start. You put your signature on something, you are liable. We talk through some bad contracts, and how we have managed to get through these (with the help of James's Mum!).

Tej then drops some fire on branding, with James adding his design swag.
