You Don't Know What You Don't Know

12 minutes

Simon explores the important concept of "you don't know what you don't know" in the context of property investing, emphasising the dangers of assuming you have all the knowledge necessary for success, sharing personal anecdotes from his 30 years of experience in the field.

Simon also discusses the significance of continuous learning, the value of working with specialists, and the importance of maintaining an open mind to avoid costly mistakes

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It's crucial to recognise that you don't know everything. Continuously seek to grow your knowledge and expertise in property investing to avoid making costly mistakes.

While theoretical education is important, practical implementation is essential. Engage in property investing actively to gain real-world experience and insights.

Work with specialists who have relevant experience in their fields. However, be cautious as even experts may not know everything, particularly in niche areas of property investing.

Stay open to new ideas and approaches. Question your current methods and seek better, faster, and more effective ways to achieve your goals.

BEST MOMENTS

"You see, the decisions we make are based on the knowledge, the past experience, and our beliefs that we hold at that time."

"If you get to the point where you think you know everything, that can be very dangerous. You can make some very expensive mistakes."

"You're never going to know everything about property investing. I don't know everything about property investing."

"Using experts and consultants can massively speed up your journey."
