Key Takeaways

This podcast is all about how I can share my journey in the block market sector to try and help you. Hopefully, this podcast will be helpful to you. We all hate being in a video, or even listening to themselves on a recording. People think that I love being in front of the camera, but that’s not true. I see it as a means to an end in helping my business grow.

It can help with your personal brand. If you’re looking for a new job or running a new business you need to focus on your personal brand. It’s important to have a personal brand, especially to potential clients and peers. Before I started in block management I was a frustrated lease manager previously. It doesn’t matter what level you are at personal branding is really important. It’s something that you should invest significant time in.

Getting your name out there. That in itself is a good thing. In our heads, we think that some people know who we are. Some of us are comfortable with knowing that others know us, others are not. It’s massively important that other people know who you are though. It’s important so that people think of you with opportunities, or refer people to you, and you're able to pick up the phone and ask someone for help with a problem.

Sharing your opinion. Everyone doesn’t need to know your opinion on everything but there is value in sharing your opinion on some things. The point of sharing your view means you have a voice. That you are taking a position. Sometimes they can be challenging, it can be difficult to speak on hard subjects but sometimes it’s important. We all think it’s best not to mention it. Having a view positions you as a leader in your industry and space. You can get a lot of respect from colleagues and peers for having a voice.

The opportunity of being more known. If you’re a property manager who has a good job and you’re happy in terms of your career. Why do I need to build my personal brand? You don’t have to do this to leave your current employment, but having a personal brand you can enhance your current role and current business. You will become a magnet for other people, and it will enhance your career and your current employer. It doesn't matter how experienced or successful you are, investing in your personal brand can be essential for taking you to the next level.

About the Host (and Guest)

I don’t know how this works, but you’re here now listening (hopefully) about my exciting life, so I’m going to try and make this worth your while.

I never got inspired at school, I was too busy trying to impress my peers, chasing girls, and being a fool to get inspired. I rejected school.

But let me tell you something for free! That was a mistake! I spent the next 15 years in jobs I hated, with no direction, lacked purpose, and motivation for life.

Yes, big words, but that was me in a box. A slave to the system!

Fast forward to today, and well, I’m not sitting in my ivory tower or anything, but I love life and my career. Yeah, it’s both painful and exciting rolled and wrapped up into one giant subway, and who doesn’t love subway rite?

The point is, you only get one life, don’t waste it pursuing things you care nothing for, invest in YOURSELF and grow as a person, be the best YOU by putting YOU first!
