This episode is a recording of Mark’s recent talk at the Underground Empire Builders Event. Mark draws on 20 years of experience and 1000+ deals, sharing the mindsets and models essential for business success. He gives his philosophies on real estate investing, scaling companies, productive habits, calculated risks, and leveraging assets.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Find a profitable business model aligned with your passions - it drives you through tough times. Surround yourself with successful people to get ideas, not direct copies.
• Start now, test, and pivot - don't over-research. Your business will change; the market will shape it. Take action, make mistakes, learn, and improve.
• Systemise everything, measure with data, and manage time carefully. Spend it on income-generating tasks; this grows your business, and delegate what doesn't.
• Diversify income streams and assets. Property, trading, and investments balance each other when challenges like Brexit hit. Diversification survives dislocations.

BEST MOMENTS  

"I think the first thing I'd do as Prime Minister is take the whole tax system, put it in the bin, and reduce taxes."

"Once you find your model, it's all about implementation. You need clear, definable goals and milestones to ensure you're executing correctly."

"Don't go into developments early - learn by buying smaller ones first. There's less to go wrong and you gain experience for bigger projects."

"This isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. Buy properties now - even if cash flow is lower, you're purchasing for the long-term."
