Success, Failure, And The Courage to Continue

Wed, 11 May 2022 23:00:00 -0000

Gordon takes a look at both success and failure and explains why they are not opposites or final but part of the journey to achieving what you want and living a life you love

Success is different for every individual and failure is an opportunity to learn and move forward and Gordon has some great tips on how to do this. As Gordon explains Winston Churchill’s quote “Success is not final, failure is not fatal it’s the courage to continue that counts” is a good reminder about always moving forward and adjusting your actions and behaviours to achieve your goals

Keep adjusting your actions, reactions, and behaviours to get to the goals you want to achieve
Both success and failure are not final but they can be if we make them
If you take a loss learn from it and move forward
Failure is not the opposite of success, you can’t have one without the other
Failure is an opportunity to learn and needs to be part of your journey to success

Gordon shares great advice on the critical importance of positioning yourself for success.

People often think people have become successful by chance but as Gordon explains success is about putting in the effort and showing up consistently alongside working on the critical activities.

If you want to be ready for the opportunities this is an episode with great advice on how to not only be positioned for success but able to move to the next level.

Being conscious about what you are doing is key in all areas of your life and Gordon looks at what happens when you haven’t quite got something across the finish line or you haven’t given yourself the opportunity. Ultimately it’s all about being self-aware when you stop short and be conscious of your actions.

Applying the 1%

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 23:00:00 -0000

The 1% is a small change that takes little or no effort but compounds with other small changes to make a difference and Gordon explains how it can be used in all areas of your life.

If you want to make improvements it’s not always about the big actions the small changes compounding can make a difference if you are consistent in applying them and review and adapt to get the best from small change so the question you need to ask yourself is -

How can you apply the 1% rule to your life?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The 1% theory is based on the concept of improving all aspects by 1% which together aid up to a bigger change.
A fundamental in health and wellbeing is sleep, so reviewing how you can improve your sleep by 1% consistently will have an impact
By building on the 1% changes you will achieve a compound effect
Once you begin to make small changes you will be able to see and track the difference they make.
It’s important to only make one small change at a time so you can review the difference and make adaptations to ensure you are gaining the most impact.
The key is to make it as easy as possible so you stick to doing it consistently

BEST MOMENTS

‘Making small changes and combining them can have a big impact’

‘Sleep is a cornerstone for all aspects of life

Who We Be

Wed, 02 Jun 2021 23:00:00 -0000

Understanding who you are is key in being able to live the life you love.

Often, when asked who we are we define ourselves by our job roles but as Gordon explains we are so much more than this. When you understand this its liberating in widening your perspective and enabling you to open up all aspects of your life.

What makes you exactly you? Take the time to reflect on this and move forward faster and with more authenticity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It can be difficult to figure out who you are growing up and some people never figure it out.
The sooner you work out who you are the sooner you can align your goals to your strengths and weaknesses and make the best of the gifts you have.
We often define ourselves by the jobs we do but we are not just whatever our jobs are we are made up of all of our experiences.
We are not limited to just one path; different people may know us as different things
It can be liberating to think about yourself with a wider perspective considering all the different things that you are.
Don’t be scared to call yourself something and own who you are and what you are
The sooner you realise who you are the faster you can move towards the life you love
Knowing who you are means you can align your decisions
What makes you exactly you?
When you know who you are you can live your life in an authentic way

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There is a difference between child-like belief and childish belief in ourselves

Self Belief

Thu, 27 May 2021 09:54:00 -0000

Do you have a childlike or childish belief in yourself?

Gordon shares great content on how our childlike belief that we are indestructible can be a positive driving us forwards our goals while a childish belief in unrealistic targets and goals can leave a wake of destruction and unfinished projects.

You need to achieve the right balance and this episode is a great way to start.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Through life, we find our own boundaries but sometimes boundaries about what we can and can’t do are imposed on us by others
You can achieve more if you set your goals higher
It’s about having an open mindset about what you can achieve
There are those who no matter what their previous outcomes are enthusiastic and successful and at the other end of the spectrum are those who don’t understand why you would even try.
It about trying to achieve a position of balance
The downside of enthusiasm is that it can be unrealistic and mean not completing anything
You can find you have moved from childlike belief in yourself to childish belief and faith in yourself
Childlike belief is believing you can achieve if you do the right things
Childish belief is setting unrealistic goals and targets
Childlike belief is understanding if you do the right things and work hard you will achieve your goals
Childish belief is thinking you could achieve your goal without learning, working hard and practice
If you know you can do something you are more likely to finish it and make the effort

BEST MOMENTS

‘You have to make sure you are putting in the effort’

‘If you set your goals higher you can achieve more’

Creating a Successful Environment

Thu, 20 Aug 2020 13:54:00 -0000

As Snow and Gordon get ready to return from France, Gordon looks why you need to stop procrastinating and create a framework where success can arrive.

Last week’s episode was all about seasons and sometimes to move into your winning season it’s just about making a decision.

You need to stop procrastinating, most of us know what to do to get to the happy place we just avoid doing some of the things we need to.

Focus on measuring yourself against the process and elements within your journey that you can control not those that are not.

Build the right framework, activities and environment to be able to lead the life you love and get out there and love the life you have created.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You need to stop procrastinating and take action to move forward.
If you don’t want to do something then procrastination is a way of putting it off.
You need to schedule in time to do things, especially if there are activities that you don’t really want to do.
Procrastination can be one of the biggest blockers for moving from one stage up to the next and getting to a winning stage.
You can’t control all the outcomes so set yourself up for success by doing the right things
You can’t make success happen it happens spontaneously when the conditions are right.
People get caught up on the outcomes and this makes it harder to maintain momentum and easier to give up.
Identify what elements you can control and measure yourself by those through being consistent.
You must measure your success against elements that are within your control
You need to think carefully about the ways you measure success.
Focus on the process and give yourself the space to be successful.

BEST MOMENTS

The key is to move through the negative seasons as quickly as possible and remain in the positive seasons as long as possible so that you are living the life you love.

The dry season - can be challenging as everything seems to be stuck and nothing changes.

Refocus on your goals and make sure they are what you want to do.

The waiting season – a season where you may be waiting for something external to happen and it can be challenging to keep your focus. Use this time to practice and improve.

The grinding season - when you are acutely focused on what you are trying to achieve.

Prioritise your activities and work through them.

The everything that can go wrong season – this can be challenging but everyone experiences this.

Everyone has barriers and it’s all about overcoming them to live the life you love.

The Psychological warfare season – this is when those around you tell you it’s not possible for you to achieve something. Get yourself around like-minded positive people.

As you move towards your goals you naturally move towards others who are like-minded.

Wed, 12 Aug 2020 23:00:00 -0000

In this the first episode of Life, Living It and Loving It podcast Gordon looks at the seasons we all experience in life. There are a number of seasons in each person’s life and each season may have a different pace and every individual will experience their seasons differently.

If you reviewed your life now what season would you be in a waiting season, a dry season, a review season, a happy season, an ‘anything that can go wrong has’ season or a psychological warfare season?

There are as many seasons as there are people and knowing what season you are in is the key to understanding what action you should be taking to make sure you are living the life you love.

Living Your Values

Wed, 15 Jul 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Do you start something new and then can’t gain momentum or sustain it?

It happens to all of us, everyone has things they have started but if the activity isn’t aligned with your values then it will be difficult to sustain.

Gordon explains the connection between your values and motivation and shares some great tips on how you can change your behaviour if you first take the time to understand and identify the motivation, desire and action and its relationship to your values.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We often say something is important to us but, in reality, it’s not really important to us.
If an activity you are doing is not aligned with your values then it will not have a level of importance or value to you.
You can’t talk yourself out of an issue you behaved yourself into.
If you don’t change your underlying values it will be difficult to gain momentum and sustain the change.
It’s important to analyse your behaviour and understand what are your values and motivators.
Why does your value system allow you to do this?
You may have built a personal story around the desire and action.
Once you have identified the story you can change it, building a new positive story aligned with your values.

BEST MOMENTS

‘When you fall out of a good habit it’s easy to give up altogether’

‘Do you start things and then forget to keep going with the activity?’

‘You can’t talk yourself out of an issue you’ve behaved yourself into’

Make Change a Positive in Your Life

Wed, 08 Jul 2020 23:00:00 -0000

As the world begins to move towards a new ‘norm’ Gordon takes the opportunity to look at change.

As change is a constant in our lives we often don’t stop to identify if the change is positive or negative or to reflect, assess and adjust to ensure the change has a positive impact on our lives.

Gordon shares some great advice on how to consciously look and reflect on the changes and then take action make sure that the change is a positive, a skill that will be especially pertinent as we all move forward into a different world of change.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Change is a constant in life whether it’s the economics of a country, property, your business or entrepreneurship.
The purpose of change is to try and improve on something.
Look at your life and your business and evaluate any change to understand whether it has been positive or negative.
If the change is not in the positive space then you can adjust it.
There can be multiple aspects to any change so identifying the component of change that needs adjustment is vital.
It’s important to establish what change is good for you as an individual, good for your family and good your business.
Many people never ask whether a change is positive or negative they just continue on.
The ways in which we work and live our lives is changing so you have to be ready to reflect, assess and adjust to make sure any change is positive.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Everything is consistently changing and improving with that change’

‘Have you reflected on whether any changes are positive or negative?’

‘There are always new systems and technology being created’

Relearning Information for Positive Progress

Wed, 01 Jul 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Throughout our lives, we are learning and take active steps to learn new things that can help us to move forward.

We all have a preferred style and we learn to change and adapt to work with others successfully and to take actions that will move us forward.

Inevitably over time we can forget or return to old habits but this is a great time to reflect on the learning we have and review the ways in which we work with others. This episode is a great reminder about reviewing and reusing the learning we have undertaken previously to support moving forward in the most positive way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When you get to know someone, you can adapt your style to optimise the situations where you are working together.
Its commonplace to adapt and then find yourself eventually regressing back to your preferred style.
Everyone has a preferred style of working
It’s about adapting so others come on the journey with you.
You have to reflect and review the ways in which you work with others.
How many things in your life have you started e.g. healthy eating, which you kept going for a couple of months and then regressed back to old habits despite the time and effort you put in to establish a change in the first place?
Writing down notes and keeping a list can be a useful way of reviewing what you have implemented and ensuring you are still on track.
You may need to change an action you have implemented if it is no longer delivering the change and results you want.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I’m someone who is direct and wants to get things done’

‘Maybe it’s now a habit to ignore the learning?’

‘We have different styles and ways of working and I have worked to adapt when communicating to get the best out of working together’

Overcoming Limiting Self-Belief and Getting to the Truth

Wed, 24 Jun 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Gordon explores the emotions, the self-limiting beliefs that we make our truth and use as excuses to not begin new things.

You can look at those self-limiting beliefs in a different way, understand you are using them as an excuse, turn them around and ask yourself is this an emotion or a truth?

Beginning something new can be a positive challenge which ultimately increases your skillset and self-worth if you use the right mechanisms to overcome the emotions that are holding you back.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

People confuse emotion and the truth.
They make their emotions their truth and this can lead to stress and upset.
When looking at starting something new people put forward self-limiting beliefs;

‘I’m too old to do this’

Whatever age you are it is more than likely there is someone older doing what you are thinking of doing – it’s a self-limiting belief, an emotion not a truth.
‘There is no one to do it with’

Whatever skill you want to learn you can find a way of doing this with others through clubs and friends – it’s a self-limiting belief, an emotion not a truth

‘I’ve never done it before’

This is a truth but is the same for everyone when they start something new a part of the process that everyone goes through.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It’s about turning the self-limiting belief on its head and making it your truth’

‘Ask yourself ‘How can I use a different mechanism?”

‘It’s about getting to the truth’

Value and Cost are Not the Same

Wed, 17 Jun 2020 23:00:00 -0000

What is value and what does it mean? It can be easy to confuse the value and the cost of a product or service but understanding the difference is a key driver for any business.

In this episode hear about the difference between value and cost and how you can achieve a balance – providing what everyone wants - value above and beyond balanced with a cost that reflects proportionately the work that has taken place.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

People confuse value and cost, they are not the same thing
Value is the amount of benefit your product or service provides to the customer.
Cost is the amount your customer pays for something
Ideally, you want the value to outweigh the cost so your customers come back.
Your charge should be proportionate so you are earning what you are worth, it’s important to strike a balance.
There are different ways services provide value with products such as high-ticket items adding value through status.
Identify the intrinsic value of your product or service and then work out how you can go above and beyond.
Always aim to over-deliver to move your business forward.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The more value they get from something the more they are going to keep coming back’

‘It’s about looking to see where you can add value and offer a service’

‘Some people confuse value and cost but they are not the same thing’

Making Changes and Facing the Issue of Racism

Wed, 10 Jun 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Gordon is looking at how people have responded to the events of recent days following the death of George Floyd in police custody.

He discusses the need to make changes and address the systematic failures we have in this country and others and how we the challenging and difficult conversations must happen to force the changes that are so desperately needed.

This is a hugely important topic and everyone needs to face it because its impact will resonante across the generations to come.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If not everyone is allowed to be a part of the conversation we all lose out.
My ignorance of some of the issues faced by others is something I can work on by learning more.
It’s an opportunity to bring to the forefront, the continuing issue of racism.
It’s an important topic that everyone needs to face.
People are out protesting for change and we have to look past covid19, It’s a big topic and will affect us for generations to come.
People must be given equal opportunities otherwise we all lose out.
If arrested you deserve the right to be heard and that the process of the law is followed fairly.
All lives matter equally but at the moment one group needs our focus right now.
Sometimes we need to focus on the micro for a period and then. Look again at the macro view.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you used a counterfeit note would you expect to lose your life over it?’

‘I never thought before about white privilege’

‘I was shocked and angry’

Where are You on the Development Cycle?

Wed, 03 Jun 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Where are you in your development cycle?

In this episode, Gordon uses a great fishing analogy to look at development cycles and help anyone understand where they are and what they need to do to lift themselves up.

It all begins with self-evaluation and developing the self-awareness that means you can lift yourself up in all areas of your life.

They say you can give a man a fish and he can feed his family for a day but if you teach him how to fish he can feed them forever. Are you being given a fish, the fisherman or the one teaching the fisherman how to fish?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In the development cycle, you are either on the receiving end of the cycle where someone is feeding you the fish or the person who knows how to fish.
Moving up is the stage where you are in a position to be the person teaching others how to fish.
When you have a skill there is always something you can do to give back.
You can transition to being the fisherman’s teacher and beyond that, to being the person who digs the lakes the fishing takes place in.
The key is to lift yourself up throughout the development cycle.
Those who we most admire and look up to are those who do well in multiple areas.
How you do one thing will be how you do everything in your life so it’s important to realise your potential across all areas.
The first stage is to self-evaluate and look at what you need to change to get everything in alignment.
If you self-evaluate and are self-aware then you can start to take action and make smart conscious decisions that will lift you up in your development cycle.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The problem is when you get comfortable with being given the fish and then things change and it’s no longer available’

‘You’ve got to be consistently great across all areas’

‘You are providing back to the community’

Knowledge Isn't Necessarily Power

Wed, 27 May 2020 23:00:00 -0000

People believe that the acquisition of knowledge improves them, and therefore hold to the belief that “knowledge is power”. But this can be a dangerous trap to fall into, and in this week’s show, Gordon explains why...

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It is not the knowledge itself that provides the power. It is the application of the knowledge that’s the key.
The understanding and actioning of knowledge come from recognising the key points, and effectively employing them.
It’s also important to choose our input carefully, tailoring our input to areas and subjects in which we are invested.
If you want to challenge the way you’re thinking, and if you want to grow and learn, we need to have an open mind.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We just acquire, acquire, acquire, and never put into action the stuff we’ve learnt’

’We have to target how we’re learning'

‘Consistently learning can be quite tiring’

Find Your Speed And Stay Consistent

Wed, 20 May 2020 23:00:00 -0000

The principles of running can be easily applied to the principles of both life and business. A sprint can only take you so far before you find yourself running out of steam, but by finding our optimal speed, and aiming for endurance instead of short-term gains, we can make sure we always take the prize.

In this week’s show, Gordon talks about the ways in which we can stay focused, the importance of staying true to ourselves, and how to find the pace that will take us to success!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Too many people focus on what other people are doing instead of keeping their eyes set upon their own goals. Searching for those who are ahead of us can only lead to disillusionment.
Don’t let other people guide your pace. Find the system of speed that works best for you and stick to it. Everyone is unique, and we all work in different ways.
Set your pace in life and business and let the momentum you gather speed you to a strong finish. It’s always best to finish strong.
Everyone deserves to achieve their goals. The only reason for people’s lack of success is their lack of consistency.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I need to put a goal ahead, place a target, to keep me motivated and keep me going'

‘Comparison really is the thief of joy’

‘If I have a day off, then it’ll be too easy to have another day off’

‘Why finish the race slower than when you started off? You want to finish strong!’

Getting To The Next Level

Wed, 13 May 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Try as we might, plateaus inevitably occur, but how can we break through those immovable barriers and take ourselves to that elusive next level?

In this week’s show, Gordon discusses the strategies and techniques he uses in order to keep climbing the ladder to personal development.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There’s always a wall to hit when it comes to improvement. The key to moving past it is perseverance.
The results of improvement don't always show on a scale, so don’t be discouraged if you can’t see the needle moving. Sometimes the results show themselves in other ways.
Truly successful people always make sure they emerge from each day having developed and grown in some way.
Improvement comes in all kinds of forms. It all begins with evaluating each element of our lives, focussing upon the area that can be elevated, and prioritising.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you want to keep improving, you have to keep pushing against that limit’

’There’s no way I can possibly come out of this less fit than I was going into it’

‘It’s impossible to stay the same, You’re either moving forwards, or you’re moving backwards’

Believing In Yourself

Wed, 06 May 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Belief can make you invincible! That’s the message from Gordon this week as he analyses the concept of belief, and how it can turn defeat into success.

Even failure can be viewed as a positive. It all depends on the level of confidence you have in yourself, and with Gordon’s help, you can achieve the mind-set required to start you on the road to self-belief.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Many think that failure means loss. In reality, failure is merely a lesson that teaches us many valuable things.
The only way you can truly lose at anything is if you admit defeat. Remember that even defeats can be turned around to achieve a win.
Attack every challenge with all your strength and willpower. Bring the sum total of your energy against every barrier in life, and if you persevere, you will overcome.
Those who have broken through trials before you, were once at the same level as you. Strength and determination are all a matter of perception. there is no reason to believe that you can never be as strong as those who have walked the path before you.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you believe you can make it work, you will make it work!’

‘You’ve learned about what doesn’t work, so you can take that off the table for next time’

‘If you have an unwavering belief in yourself, then you will always get there’

Getting Good At Stuff

Wed, 29 Apr 2020 23:00:00 -0000

This week, Gordon talks you through a book he’s recently read: My Awesome Guide To Getting Good At Stuff by Matthew Syed, a success manual designed for children, but which has some remarkable takeaways for everyone!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Even global success icons like JK Rowling have faced mountains of rejections. Rowling herself was rejected twelve times before Bloomsbury wisely decided to publish the first Harry Potter book.
Oprah Winfrey was fired by a network for being “unfit for television”. She has since gone on to become one of the most powerful TV moguls on the planet!
When we do something often, the progress we can make is staggering. Your ability to see patterns and find a route to your goal becomes easier every time.
The best way to learn is to fail. Mistakes aren’t bad thing. They are lessons that help us move forward and grow.

BEST MOMENTS

‘A lot of people would’ve given up, but she kept going!’

‘You’ve got to keep trying. You’ve got to have resilience’

‘One person’s view doesn’t necessarily match everyone else’s’

‘Mistakes tell you exactly what you don’t know, which is what you need to know!’

Setting Those New Habits For Life!

Wed, 22 Apr 2020 23:00:00 -0000

We’re all currently in the middle of reorganising our lives, our priorities and our workflows, but how do we get those new habits to stick? For many, the new practices we’re putting in place will be for the better, so what is the best way to keep those habits in place when life returns to normal?

In this week’s show, Gordon talks you through the ways in which you can set these new methods in stone, and keep your self-propelled momentum at an all-time high when the world begins to turn again soon.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

One of the key methods of replacing a bad habit is to replace it with a positive one. Even habits such as smoking can be replaced by such things as healthy snacking.
Another essential consideration when creating a new habit is to create one you’ll enjoy. Your brain will block any new habits you hate, which requires a new level of self-persuasion.
Time management is crucial now that we’re all setting new routines. Set those habits in stone now, but also recognise the initiating acts for those habits, and build your days constructively.
It’s about building resilience into the habits that are important to you. Where are the key areas you want to enforce and strengthen? Can you manage those habits if your daily routine changes?

BEST MOMENTS

‘Why fix something that isn’t broken?’

‘It’s about consistency, and bringing that consistency into your new routine’

’The time you have available now is the time you had available before’

Thinking Differently And Making The Adjustments

Wed, 15 Apr 2020 23:00:00 -0000

With the world turned upside-down right now, we maybe need to start thinking about the shape of our days very differently.

In this week’s show, Gordon gives you a brief guide to making the adjustments that count, and how to turn a chaotic situation into the new normal.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We need to ignore theoretical timeframes. No one knows how long this period will last, so adjust your expectations realistically.

We live in an era of remote connectivity, and yet despite certain professions not being traditionally associated with remote interaction, there are always opportunities to be found.

Experience should now be seen as knowledge. Can your knowledge be used to inspire others? Which format should it take? Could this lead to a whole new way of working for you?

Everybody has a skill that can benefit someone. Remember that it’s just a case of connecting with the person who needs you.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You need to ask yourself "What do I need to do to make myself successful?"’

‘You’ve now got a product you can use to supplement your income going forward’

‘You have to start thinking differently'

Week 2 of Corona Lockdown

Wed, 08 Apr 2020 23:00:00 -0000

Inspired by insightful song lyrics, Gordon has been inspired to think about the wave of powerlessness sweeping across the world, and the many ways in which we can combat the feeling and climb back to our feet.

In this week’s show, Gordon shares some positive, empowering ways in which we can fight away any feelings of hopelessness, and add a little light into a dark situation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

By studying the grief cycle, we can see that most of us will be experiencing the quarantine in stages. Powerlessness is a huge part, but can be remedied by acceptance.
We cannot control many factors in the world right now, but we can certainly control our responses and the way we act in return.
Now that we find ourselves with time, are there positive plans you could begin work on? Could you learn that new language? Could you catch up with friends and family? Could you begin that creative project you’ve dreamed about for years?
You need to be able to maintain your business through this period, but also to keep it at an operational level for the future when this is over. It’s a tricky balancing act, and one which is generating many negative headlines.
Your life can be taken to a whole new level by altering our mindset. Show up consistently and make sure you show up!

BEST MOMENTS

‘Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Absolute powerlessness does the same’

’You can control your narrative, so what do you want that narrative to be?’

‘It’s that mindset between making it happen and being a victim’

‘How can a business survive if they take that mentality?'

Working From Home Week 2 Updates!

Wed, 01 Apr 2020 23:00:00 -0000

As we approach the end of our second week in lockdown Gordon shares the value of understanding your internal response and why having a positive internal response will make all the difference to how you perceive things. Everyone has had to change the ways in which they work and our responses to these changes define how much we may struggle with the change.

If you have the right internal response you will be able to adapt and change your focus so that you can still give great value to others and keep moving forward, listen in and hear how.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Our internal response very much affects how we may struggle during challenging times
During difficult times you see both the worst and the best in people.
How we think about things and perceive things will define how much pain or happiness that we experience.
There are always 2 ways to go about things.
What can you do differently at this time to stay connected?
How can you be a valued member of your community and give value to others, you just have to think about things in a different way.
There are always things you can do to learn something new and keep moving forward.
Can you change and adapt your plans so you can take advantage of the extra time you have?
You can shift your focus from one area to another.
Where does your focus need to be at this different time?
Whatever you do take the opportunity to keep moving forward?

BEST MOMENTS

‘The NHS clap for carers was an example of us at our best’

They were taking the time to check with the elderly customers that they had everything they wanted’

Building the Right Foundations

Thu, 26 Mar 2020 00:00:00 -0000

‘Take time to think about who you actually are’

We all like to think we living our lives based on our core beliefs and values but it can be easy to develop poor habits and unintentionally move away from what is important to us.

Gordon discusses the importance of having strong foundations and taking the time to review as you move through life. What are your core values and beliefs and are you living your life in line with these?

Take time for reflection and move forward with purpose and understanding of who you are and what is important to you, listen in and find out how.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

As we go through life we can often ignore the foundational aspects that underpin what we do and why we do it, expecting that these will come naturally.
We don’t take the time to review the foundations of our lives - the morals and values, core beliefs and who we are as human beings.
We don’t take time to think about who we actually are.
In this very challenging time, there is actually due to circumstance, the opportunity to spend time reflecting on who you are and what your key beliefs and core values are.
What is important to you – jot these down and then consciously implement them.
Review each area of your life and look at what really matters to you
Ask yourself - do you live up to the beliefs and values that are important to you?
Spend some time doing a review of where you are and seek the views of those around you to ensure you have an accurate overview of who you are.
Improve your foundational elements and then you can live in this way consciously and move forward from strong foundations.

BEST MOMENTS

‘When we have a positive habit, if we miss doing it once it can then be easier to miss it again resulting in that habit ceasing to be part of our routine’

‘I’ve got to be self-conscious about being a completer finisher’

‘I’m definitely going to be taking some time to think about those foundations that I live by’

Getting the job Done

Thu, 19 Mar 2020 00:00:00 -0000

Welcome back! Today Gordon wants to talk about getting the job Done!

This week was Gordon's 50th park run! An achievement for sure and Gordon was excited with his progress so far and the time he managed. As to be expected, Park run have cancelled many events throughout Europe and (unfortunately) Gordon is anticipating this being his last run for the foreseeable future.

Gordon hopes everyone is following all the appropriate guidance for COVID19 and are all keeping well, let him know how you are doing and anything you think other listeners could benefit from!

Getting The Job Done

Dont get 'bogged down' by minor day-to-day issues; much of these are out of our control and it is wasted effort and energy trying to control these situations and issues. Save this time and gusto for the real problems and focus where focus is needed.
Keep Moving Forward. Are you struggling to make progress? Step back, take a look at where the bottlenecks are and see what you can do to improve or fix those issues, to allow everything to pick up and speed progress.
Overwhelm. The more tasks you have on-the-go at any one time, the more unfocused you are. Every time you leave a task unfinished, you leave your focus with it. Before you know it, you have no focus left as you're left in pieces over many different unfinished tasks. Gordon acknowledges this makes it much harder for him to make good decisions in this scenario, so when he finds himself overwhelmed he organises his tasks in a ranking so he can give all the focus to the top 3 high priority tasks. He won't move on till he has finished all 3 of these, then reassess his remaining tasks and repeats the process

If you are struggling, get in touch and let Gordon know! Remember to subcribe and comment to let Gordon know all your thoughts and thanks!

Using Consistency And Self-Reflection To Boost Your Progress

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 00:00:00 -0000

Through a recent conversation, Gordon realised that consistency isn’t all that matters. Sometimes we apply ourselves to a pursuit in the hope of making progress or developing ourselves, only to find that we are not moving along at the rate we’d like.

But how can we make sure we achieve the progress we’re hoping for? How can we make sure that we’re applying ourselves to the most effective form of development?

In this week’s show, Gordon discusses a real-world example, and guides you through the importance of consistency.

KEY TAKE AWAYS

There’s no point in being consistent at something if it’s the wrong thing in the first place. You need consistency and effectiveness in order to make progress.
It’s all about being self-aware. We need to develop the ability to know when things aren’t going well. We need to be able to constantly analyse our performance.
If you’re not at the place you want to be, then it’s either due to your own lack of consistency, or the fact that the course of development is not effective enough.
There are many educational and developmental tools at your disposal. If the course of training you’re on isn’t working for you, try another route.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I don’t have podcast insurance!’

Sometimes we become wrapped up in making sure we’re doing things consistently’

‘Have that moment of self-reflection every now and then’

‘If they work, keep them. If they don’t, get rid of them’

Some people release ownership over their lives and in this episode Gordon explains how you can improve different aspects of your life by owning your life yourself. Many people don’t do this and let opportunities come to them however in this episode Gordon discusses how you can go find the opportunities.

Managing Your Thoughts to be Positive

Thu, 27 Feb 2020 00:00:00 -0000

How are your thoughts affecting you?

Gordon is talking about negative thoughts and the creation of self-limiting beliefs. He explores the ways in which it impacts on daily life and what you achieve and believe you can do.

The average person has 60,000 thoughts in a day and 80% of those thoughts are negative. Listen in to find out how to change the balance and make the majority of them positive and as a result achieve more in every area of your life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Where your focus goes your energy flows so if you are focused on all the negative stuff,
you will also attract more negativity.
You will self-actualise the negative thoughts
when you experience a trauma, it creates an emotion and the stronger the emotion the more you remember it.
If you are having negative emotions and looking back to all the things that have happened you are creating self-limiting beliefs.
It is the trauma that creates the self-limiting belief
There can be little things that have created small amounts of trauma that impact on your emotions and growth in the present.
It’s important to look at your life and analyse if you have any self-limiting beliefs.
If you are aware of them you can begin to make changes.
It’s important to be aware that the only place the past exists is in your mind those events are not happening now.
Why let something that happened in the past affect something you are doing today?
When you are stressed it’s important to only focus on what’s happening now – you can’t change the past or know the future.
Work in the here and now and achieve more.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Concentrate on the love, happiness and joy’

‘If you try to shift those thoughts you can change things and think more positive thoughts’

‘If you have created self-limiting beliefs it can be difficult to get out of them’

‘It’s not surprising that people procrastinate and struggle to move forward’

Is Your Legacy Positive?

Thu, 20 Feb 2020 00:00:00 -0000

Gordon asks the all-important question ‘ What do you want people to think about you and what you have done?

We all want to think we leave interactions positively but is this really how you are perceived by others?

Gordon provides some great advice on choosing positivity and actively working on each interaction choosing to be positive and leaving positive energy with the other person

Listen in and get positive with your legacy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Legacy – after you have passed away what do you want people to think about you and what you have done?
What can you put in place to make sure this is what happens?
Ask yourself where am I now, what do people think of me?
Do you bring energy and positivity to what you do?
Do others want to talk with you and how do you leave each situation and person – if you want to leave positive energy you need to be conscious that this is what you want during the interaction.
It’s easy to forget that you have an impact on every person that you meet and only you can choose what the impact will be – positive or negative.
No one can be happy all the time but you can focus on getting it done and being neutral if you can’t be positive.
When you let a negative situation affect you, then you will be taking negative energy forward potentially sharing negativity at your next interaction.
When someone has a negative experience with you then this will be how they will remember and perceive you as being.
Thinking about your interactions and the feeling you leave people with following interactions with them is a good way to evaluate and make sure you are leaving the positive energy you want to as part of any interaction.
Is your impact positive, bringing value to the other person?
How do you want to be remembered, only you can decide

BEST MOMENTS

‘You should always consider how you have left a conversation with someone else’

‘If you experience something negative and have negative feelings it’s important to talk about it’

‘Ask yourself - ‘Am I a positive person?’

Keeping It Moving

Thu, 06 Feb 2020 00:00:00 -0000

The inspiration for this episode comes from a song ‘Moving’ by UK grime artist Bugzy Malone featured on his album ‘Facing Time’

‘Comes a point in life when you’ve got to learn to keep it moving, can’t lookout for a problem, you’ve got to look through a problem the minute you stop you are dying and when you understand  that you start to live……..(Moving, Bugzy Malone)

Gordon uses these opening lines to look in-depth at the importance of keeping moving.

In business and in life if you are standing still you are in reality moving backwards, listen in and hear about how to not only get moving but keep moving.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Keeping it moving

The concept of moving is something that has parallels with both life and business. If you stop and start standing still, you are not making any progress and if you are not making any progress then you are dying.

Looking through the Problems

How many of us get caught out focusing so much on the problem? Sometimes you have to look beyond the problem.

Is there a barrier to solving the problem?

You’ve got to get to it and get through it

While you’re worrying and procrastinating about it you are going backwards as others doing the same as you are going through the problem

Keep pushing until you move through the problem

The focus should be to stop worrying about the problem and look through it to the other side  - what’s positive on the other side?

If you solve the problem what is it going to allow?

Outsourcing

There are extensive opportunities to outsource in any business situation.

You could do a joint venture with someone or partner with someone and enable each other by doing the things you are good at.

A mutually beneficial scenario is a positive way forward for businesses.

There are outsourcing websites that mean you can outsource different aspects and elements of the processes in a business.

What problems have you got and how can you keep it moving?

What problems have you got that need to be solved?

When you make it, you have to fight to stay there, there will be people who want to have that number one spot.

You will need to take action every day to stay at the top.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you are focused only on the problem you will get de-motivated’ 

‘When you’ve solved the problem, what is it going to allow?’

‘What aspects have you stopped developing and are now standing still?’

‘You need to understand the ‘whys’ of the problem’

Taking Your Losses Personally

Thu, 23 Jan 2020 00:00:00 -0000

We can’t succeed all the time, as Gordon recently found out. Wins are easy to celebrate, but losses feel far more personal. But as Gordon learned recently, there’s always a way to put a positive spin on a loss. And is it a good thing to take those losses personally?

In this week’s show, Gordon talks about how to turn those losses into positives, and how to spin a bad situation into a lesson of growth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In life, when something knocks you back, especially if it happens repeatedly, there’s a danger that we start to take those losses personally.

Taking a loss personally is actually a positive thing. Why did you fail? Why didn’t this work out? How can you ensure that this doesn’t happen again? You often learn more from failure than you do from success.

Once you get into the habit of failing, it’s far more difficult to break the chain. The key to breaking that chain is to start taking those losses personally. Remind yourself of why you set that goal, or that target, and get back on track!

This thesis should not apply only to business, but to all elements of our personal lives. What problems are holding us back as human beings? What issues, sometimes ignored, are holding us back from achieving our full potential? And if we confront them, how can we grow?

BEST MOMENTS

‘You don’t lose that often, which is good’

‘If you take that loss personally, then you’re definitely going to try and do something about it’

‘We all know that we can’t win at everything all the time’

‘By going back to your “Why”, it remakes whatever it is, personal for you’

Thu, 16 Jan 2020 00:00:00 -0000

Gordon gives us his weekly update; he has recently completed a 5k run in Wales to get back into his fitness after the Christmas break, which was a tough mudder course.

He also discusses the importance of focusing on positives rather than negatives on the path to achieving your goal.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If you’re too focused on the end goal, then you’re likely to miss things out and enjoy the process of getting there.
For example, focusing on having to pay for something can divert your attention from enjoying the thing that you’re paying for.

Plans aren’t always going to go how we expect or want them to go, there will always be set backs, knocks and problems but it’s how you over come them.
When you have problems or knockbacks on your journey to hit your goal, don’t focus on the negative things.
Focus on the problems that you may face itself and think about it positively to resolve it so you can carry on your journey to achieve your goal.
If you focus on the negative things on the way you could end up leaving the process rather than enjoying it which would mean, you’ll not reach your goal.
Put a plan in place if you come across a problem for how you can overcome the problem.

Ask yourself how you can improve your process for next time or avoid the same issues that you’ve come across.
Where your focus goes your energy will go so focus on the positive things along the way because achieving goals aren’t instant and will take time. Stay consistent and you’ll get there.

BEST MOMENTS

‘A lot of people focus on the goal or target rather than the process itself’.

‘Don’t miss out on the opportunity to share joy’

‘Enjoying what you’re doing; tomorrow may never come’

‘If you enjoy the process, you’ll progress’.

Write Down Your Goals & Turn Your Vision into Reality

Thu, 09 Jan 2020 00:00:00 -0000

Have you set any goals for the new year?

Gordon shares how writing your goals down and revisiting them throughout the year is the right way to set yourself up for success.

If you are spending time setting goals then you need to know how to achieve them, what actions you need to take because the infrastructure for success is about setting yourself up for success.

Maybe they are the same as last year, perhaps you have just made them bigger, whatever your goals writing them down and having a vision board will help you. Listen in to hear how to create goals and a vision board that will mean you will be able to turn your vision into your reality.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It’s good to write goals down and display them somewhere you will see them
Having a dedicated board with visuals associated with each of your goals along with a list of your accomplishments can help your motivation.
If you are demotivated a vision board can help you get motivated and reminds you about what your ultimate goals are and the impact your actions have on achieving them
The infrastructure for success is setting yourself up for success
When you have decided on your goal you can then create the targets and actions that will get you there.
There are many different ways to reach a target and it’s about finding the right way to reach your target for you.
Write everything down, whether its health and fitness, family and friends or finance and business.
Once you have a list of goals group them together so you can come up with a master objective, what are the most important goals?
What are the tasks and objectives you need to focus on to achieve your ultimate goal?
Once you have ascertained the central and critical goals from each group that you will focus on during the year it becomes easier to work effectively towards achieving them.
You may need to change your goals during the year because of life changes but by re-prioritising and continuing to focus on your goals and objectives whatever they are you can still achieve your goals.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I put up a picture of the lake in outer Mongolia where the run that I was interested in taking part in takes place. I’ve actually now booked the trip for 2021, I’ve been able to move it now from a vision to a reality’

‘If you have too many goals you may find it difficult to get any traction because you may have too much to focus on effectively’

How to Turn the Negatives in Life into the Positives in Life

Thu, 12 Dec 2019 00:00:00 -0000

As we fast approach the festive season Gordon has started to celebrate the festive season with the Christmas related food products available in the shops but is taking the time to reflect on negativity and the impact it can have on our goals.

We all have people in our friends and family who are negative and quick to sow the seeds of doubt about any goals we may have and the daily news is all negative so what’s the best way to ensure we have positivity in our lives and the self-belief to continue on the journey and meet the challenges along the path towards our goals? Listen in and find out.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

As we start to think about goals for the new year it’s important to share your goals, but people can be nervous about sharing their goals worrying about what others might think.
If you surround yourself with the right people then no matter your goals those people will be supportive.
It’s important to realise that if your circle of friends are critical of what you are doing and your goals then you are probably around the wrong people.
Make sure you are talking to the people around you who are going to encourage you in whatever you are doing, supporting you to make the breakthrough.
People like you who have bigger goals and bigger ambitions in their lives.
Where your focus goes your energy flows
If you are focused on the negative news each day it can get into your soul, it can affect your mood.
Your time can be better spent doing something else such as learning something new.
There is a whole stream of negative energy coming into us, in our daily lives, and if you can replace the negatives with positives, you can get further with your goals and achievements.
A negative conversation can quickly change your mindset from looking at the opportunities to worrying about the risks.
When self-doubt creeps in you begin to question if you can and why you are doing it.
If you’ve laid the infrastructure for success and have the right people around you will be supported and encouraged onwards towards your goals.
Change the negative for the positives and get further on the journey towards achieving your goals.

BEST MOMENTS

‘What are you doing that keeps your mood negative?’

‘Most goals are not big bang goals; they are not going to be achieved there and then. They have to be worked towards overtime year on year’

‘Get that negativity out of your mind and get back on track and working towards achieving your goals’

Rising To the Occasion Through Effective Training

Thu, 05 Dec 2019 00:00:00 -0000

There’s a widely-held belief that minimal effort in training will yield results that are good enough. It’s a lesson you can take throughout your whole life, and especially in business: only by pushing through the barriers and training effectively can we make sure we shine when it really counts.

In this week’s show, Gordon talks us through this vital component in any entrepreneur’s mind-set.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

By not training for something properly, then on the day, it’s more than likely that you will automatically revert to the fact that you’ve quit out.

When you train, you need to push through all barriers to get to the goal. It's the same in business. Are you practising your sales calls. Are you role-playing pitches? Are you fine-tuning your email campaigns?

There’s a difference between playing to win, and playing merely to stay in the game. People who play to stay in the game will always be average. You need to be better.

Examine your life and look for the small areas in which you can improve. Constantly examine and evaluate. Make incremental changes. Push through the barriers!

BEST MOMENTS

‘As long as I do a base-level of training, then on the day I will rise to the occasion’

’There’s a way of training for everything’

‘You need to play to win’

‘Michael Jordan was first to arrive at the court and the last to leave’

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Thu, 28 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -0000

‘How is the Christmas period going to look for you and your business?’

After a week of getting back into a full training schedule as Gordon looks towards his next running challenge, he reflects on the importance of preparation.

When running you have to make sure you have done the right planning and training and as we approach ‘that time of the year’ he shares some great tips on how any business can make sure that its prepared, customers are well informed and that their expectations are met so that they return in the new year.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You have to take some sort of action over the Christmas period.
When you have time away from your business you need to think about how your business will cope when you’re away.
If you have a property business having a ‘go-to’ box in your car can be a great way to ensure you have any essentials you might need.
If you’ve been called out to a property for the same thing several times make sure you have the equipment and resources to solve the issue if it reoccurs.
Make sure you have the right cover in place for boilers.
If you offer informational products you need to consider how you get the product to the customer.
Now is a good time to automate processes so that they are less labour intensive.
Do you need to let your customers know delivery is different over the Christmas period?
If you are maintaining the same delivery times, as usual, its vital that you fulfil this commitment as any disappointed customer may not purchase from you again.
If you put in systems the Christmas period is a good time to trial and test how effective they are.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Just because you are off doesn’t mean your tenants won’t need you’

‘It’s easy to say you will keep going as a small business but set dedicated time aside’

‘Unless it’s scheduled it’s very easy to not do a required task as at this time of the year there are lots of different pulls on your time and energy’

Thu, 21 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -0000

It’s important to consider both your physical and mental wellbeing.

Mental wellbeing

How to achieve Your Goals The Spartan Way

Thu, 14 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -0000

‘It’s important to have those dreams and goals in place so we can traverse life, the best way we can’

Gordon is reviewing ‘The Spartan Way’ by Joe De Sena’ this book is all about being deliberate in your life, finding your true North and creating a legacy.

The author’s ultimate goal is to improve everyone’s physical and emotional health by teaching them the tenants of spartan living from ancient Greece - simple eating, smart training, mastering resilience and an all-out commitment to achieving a goal.

Gordon brings together the values in this book and explains how they can be applied practically to your life and business, listen in and find out how.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The book focuses on challenging you to live life the spartan way and achieve the life you want rather than be a passive observer of your life. The spartan core values include;
self-awareness -knowing yourself
commitment – being dedicated
passion – discovering your purpose
discipline – practising diligence
prioritisation – putting your house in order
grit – pushing your limits
courage - facing your fears and your failures
If you’ve not got a key goal it can be easy to become distracted. Having a goal means you can stay on track and always make the best decisions for moving towards achieving your goal.
Figure out your values and work on the steps you need to take to achieve your goals and leave the legacy you want.
If you are not making conscious decisions about the direction you want to move through your life then you will be swept away by other’s dramas and become merely an observer of your own life.
Are you in the 99% of people who don’t have a purpose and just go along with everyone else or are you in the 1% who have figured out your goals and what you want your legacy to be?

BEST MOMENTS

‘There is no right or wrong legacy but it can become part of your true north’

‘If you work out your true north you can navigate life making sure those goals become a reality’

‘If your legacy is to be a great Dad you’ll tell your boss ‘sorry I can’t work next weekend’ and then find a way to complete the job in 8 hours instead of 15’

How Are You Building Your Credibility?

Thu, 07 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -0000

Do you put things right when they go wrong? Do you take the time and effort to make sure you have solved your customer’s problem?

Gordon shares the importance of building credibility in this episode and explains what you can do when things go wrong. It’s much easier to walk away but it’s a great opportunity to maintain and build credibility - if you respond in the right way.

Everyone makes mistakes and inevitably things will go wrong but if you follow Gordon’s advice you can move forward in a positive way and potentially move your business to the next level.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It’s important whatever your business to build credibility, it’s very difficult to sell any product or service before you have built some level of credibility.
It can take a long time to build good credibility but it can be lost in an instant.
Whatever your business is you have a number of opportunities to build credibility and this can be done even when something has gone wrong, your response, next steps and putting it right can continue to build your credibility.
It can be a temptation when things go wrong to accept it but it is an opportunity to prove to the customer that you can put it right and they made a good decision placing the work or buying from you in the first place.
If you don’t take action it’s not only the direct business that is lost. That person will share with their family and colleagues and potentially you will lose out on other business.
Even if it’s not your fault putting it right is key to maintaining credibility and the opportunity for potential work in the future.
It’s easier to just move on to the next deal but taking the time to put things right will make your business grow even faster with a good reputation.
A reputation can grow the most when something goes wrong and you take the time to put it right
Responsibility and ownership are core characteristics of a good entrepreneur
everybody makes mistakes and things do go wrong but if you take ownership and respond positively to solve the problem, making things right for your customer then your credibility is maintained and can grow.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you set an example of ownership around challenges then your employees will follow your lead’

‘If you are an unknown quantity then you are starting from a base of no credibility. If you want someone’s business you need to spend time building a relationship’

‘Control what you can control and fix what you can to make it right for your customer’

Discipline and Integrity Go Hand In Hand!

Thu, 31 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0000

Never compromise your own rules.

It’s difficult enough to convince property investors, agents, and clients, so why sabotage the reputation and integrity you’ve built by not following your own set rules? BE disciplined.

In this podcast, Gordon talks about how crucial it is to stick to rules for you, your goals, and other people. Nothing is more disappointing than letting down yourself and the people around you. Yes, changes are acceptable, but compromising has its limits. When you always do a tweak here and there every single time, delays, mistakes, and failure are most likely to happen. Gordon also shares today his own experience about discipline, so tune in.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Gordon is getting ready for a half marathon that will happen in a couple of weeks, so he’ll be training for most of the days in the incoming weeks. Also, he setup his old fish tank and filled it with fishes.
Stick to your rules. If you’ve broke them once, it’s easier to do it again so don’t go into that hellhole. Losing you or your work’s integrity is the last thing you want. This could lead to problems in the future.
Calculative changes can be acceptable, but impulsive changes can be dangerous.
Put yourself first. Always prioritise your health and wellbeing, before your career, your business, or anyone else’s.
Aim for financial freedom. For Gordon, it’s setting up and growing his businesses, and searching for other passive incomes.
Deliver what you’ve promised. If you’re meant to finish a certain task when the clock strikes twelve, then you must! If you’re to meet a client at 12NN on the dot, then be early and be ready!

BEST MOMENTS

“If you can compromise once, you can compromise again.”
“Prioritise who you are in terms of what your core values are.”
“It really shouldn’t be difficult for people to turn up when they say they’re gonna turn up.”

Taking Losses and Taking Responsibility

Wed, 23 Oct 2019 23:00:00 -0000

If you’re willing to share in the successes of your workforce, then should you also accept accountability when failures happen?

That’s the question that Gordon found himself asking lately, and it inspired him to think about the fascinating, and often little-discussed topic of taking losses. Managers and team leaders often discuss teamwork and team spirit, but surely it’s a two-way street?

In this week’s show, Gordon discusses the flip side of delegation; how to deal with your own accountability when things don’t go perfectly.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When you delegate, even if it’s externally, to an agency or freelancer, you need to make your level of accountability clear, and also set realistic expectations and deadlines.

Theoretically, if you consistently outsource work to the same place, it should improve and become more consistent, as that agency will grow to understand your requirements and expectations.

If these expectations are consistently not met, then it’s up to you to either make your instructions clearer, or to find someone else who can perform the task better. You do have a level of accountability in this equation.

If you share in your team’s successes, it’s only fair that you take at least part-ownership when there are losses, too.

One advantage of taking ownership, is that you will build a stronger team. Your team spirit will increase powerfully if your team believe that you are all on the same page.

Your team should always feel empowered enough to suggest, and maybe even implement, ideas and processes that can help your business to grow.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you share in the wins, shouldn’t you be sharing in the losses as well?’

‘Yes it is their job. But it's your job to make sure they do their job’

’There shouldn’t be anyone out there looking out for your business more than you are’

‘By placing the blame on someone, you won’t create a healthy environment to work in’

‘I want them to feel supported'

‘Assume noble intent'

Sticking to Your Rules

Wed, 16 Oct 2019 23:00:00 -0000

‘It’s easy to forget the rules and chase the deal but chasing the deal isn’t always the right thing’

This week Snow (Gordon’s dog) has enjoyed a dedicated dog swim at the local Lido, Gordon has been out running and now in this episode shares some practical advice on how to not only create a set of rules and criteria but importantly how to stick to them. We can all find sticking to the rules a challenge so understanding the importance of why we need them is key, listen in and find out more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In any business, you have to create a set of rules and stick to them.
For a property business, your rules will be determined by your investment criteria.
It is key to stick to your rules every time If you break your rules once it will be easier to break them the next time.
You need to set yourself up to make a profit whatever your business and having a set of rules is vital to ensure you are working without profit.
Know and understand the value of your product or service.
There is a difference between devaluing your product and selling at the wrong price point.
If your product is at the wrong price point it will not sell and having accurate criteria in place ensures you are able to value your product or services accurately.
When you know what value, you bring it becomes easier to moderate yourself against your rules.
What are the rules in your business?
Do you have a set of criteria and stick to them?
Do you have investment criteria?
When you put in a set of rules you need to track the outcomes to ensure you are getting the best from deals and investments.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Knowing the value of your business is really important as it will help you to stick to your rules’

‘Eventually, you will get to a place where you’ve got problems’

‘A lot of people get it wrong and lose their position in the market by trying to be competitively priced or trying to beat a competitor’

Sometimes the right answer is no the deal isn’t right for me at this time

The Fourth Quarter and Man’s Search for Meaning

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 23:00:00 -0000

‘If you have not achieved what you wanted then it’s important to acknowledge this and make alterations now, before the end of the year’

As we enter the fourth quarter of the year Gordon has some great practical advice on self-assessment and review to help anyone stay focused on the journey and achieve the goals they set at the beginning of the year.

Gordon also shares his monthly book review of a text that is hugely significant and will help anyone to reflect and develop their understanding that you can learn from all experiences in life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Book review

This month’s book is ‘Man’s Search for Meaning by Victor E Frankl
This book is psychiatrist Victor Frankl’s story of his struggle to stay alive and survive Auschwitz and other concentration camps.
The book is split into 2 parts – part one is his narrative on his experiences in the concentration camps and the second part is titled ‘logotherapy in a nutshell’ and explores the concept that human nature is motivated by the search for a life purpose.

The fourth quarter

This is a time to review whether you are in the same place at this point as you were earlier in the year.
If you are exactly where you want to be, you have a plan and everything is going according to the plan and you are moving forward then carry on.
If you have not made enough progress towards your goals then you need to review and make changes.
Are you spending the quality time you said you would on the activities you said you would at the start of the year?
It's vital to have the ability to self-assess and reflect accurately.
If you don’t check in to make sure you are making sufficient progress towards the goals you have set then you can easily find yourself moving away from the activities that make progress towards your chosen goals.
It's tempting to get caught in the process and forget about the overall outcomes although your goals and targets should be around the process you need to remember why you are doing the activities and your overall goals.
Always take the opportunity at the beginning of every quarter to look back at what you’ve achieved and the goals you set being prepared to alter and adjust them to ensure you are making the process you want.
Are you making progress towards your goals or do you need to realign your activities, processes and tasks to make sure you achieve?

BEST MOMENTS

‘It helps people to reflect on their own lives and develop their understanding that you can learn from all experiences in life’

‘Make sure you are doing the right activities to achieve the success you want’

‘I might be spending too much time running instead of working on my social media’

Wed, 02 Oct 2019 23:00:00 -0000

‘It's about customer service and delivering what the customer expects you to deliver’

Gordon is discussing the vital role good customer service plays in meeting customer expectations and retaining customers for repeat business.

Customer service

It’s about delivering what the customer expects you to deliver whatever your business.
You need to know what they are expecting and ensure you are meeting those expectations.
What can you do to make sure you don’t disappoint the customer – is your process overly long? Are you running out of things? Is your website easy to purchase from?
If there is any difficulty for the customer then it is potentially lost custom at that time and for any future sales with that customer.
Mystery shop yourself regularly asking yourself what would you think of the customer service and are the expectations being met.
It's important to look at your sales process whatever your business making sure it’s as streamlined and efficient as possible for yourself and your customer
When customer service is good and the customer experience is great, customers want to return.
It makes it more special when you find somewhere with good customer service and everything you expect as a customer.

The Difference Between Optimism, Pessimism and Realism

Wed, 25 Sep 2019 23:00:00 -0000

Gordon is with his German Shepherd, Snow, this week as he discusses the value of finding the middle ground of realism when solving challenges and assessing situations.

During the week Gordon has tried a new park run, with Snow being the first dog to complete it, and in preparation for his upcoming half marathon has increased the distance he is running.

As an optimist, Gordon recognises the challenges of being either a significant optimist or pessimist when facing a challenge and shares constructive ways in which we can all reach the middle ground, a place of realism.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The difference between optimism pessimism and the little bit in between realism
Most people fall into the category of optimist or pessimist very few people are realists although lots like to think they are.
It's important to recognise whether you are an optimist or pessimist naturally and then bring the element of realism to it.
It takes a lot of energy as an optimist to talk with a pessimist and this is the same for the pessimist speaking with an optimist. The thought processes and views on life are opposing.
It’s a different point of view, each view is valid but you need to draw the opposing views into the frame of realism - The realistic view.
Look to solve problems in the most efficient way possible
This will enable you to be more grounded when approaching different challenges.
What are the actual issues and how do we resolve them?
Try and ground yourself as much as possible viewing situations and making decisions from the middle ground of realism.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you are working on things you enjoy you’ll naturally be better and focus on developing those strengths’

‘You need to recognise whether you are a pessimist or optimist and bring yourself into the middle ground of realism when you approach a situation’

‘You don’t want to be at the extreme ends all the time’

Achieving Effective & Flexible Teamwork

Wed, 18 Sep 2019 23:00:00 -0000

‘Make sure you have a wide enough team and know enough people that you can take care of business’

Gordon is preparing for his next half marathon, intensifying his training and in this episode, talking about teamwork.

What happens when someone in your team lets you down? How can you protect yourself against this impacting on your business? Gordon shares the ways to achieve a team that has the skillset to work effectively in different situations and is flexible enough to ensure you are never let down listen in and find out more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Lots of people talk about having a power team. This could be a small or large team.
An accountant, builder, solicitor, admin assistant, architect could all potentially be on your power team..
Are you using the right people?
Have they got the skillset you need for what you are doing currently?
A good team is about achieving a balance, If you have 2 solicitors on your team you can flex your team to suit the needs of a particular deal.
If someone in your team consistently lets you down then stop doing business with them.
There may be extenuating circumstances but beyond this, you must stop working with them.
In every good team, each person has a set role within the team and a responsibility to ensure the team functions successfully.
If you find someone is very good at one particular thing, make sure they are the person who undertakes that task in your team every time.
Make sure you have the right people doing the right tasks in your power team.
It is human nature that people enjoy more a task they are good at, the more appropriate the tasks you can give an individual the longer you will keep that person on your team.
Good teamwork is vital for any business and understanding the skills of those in your power team is key to the success of your business.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If it is becoming a habit have you had that honest discussion?

‘If the solicitor in your team is cheap but always late maybe you shouldn’t be using them for deals with a quick turnaround’

‘Utilise your power team so that you can meet the requirements of whatever deal comes down the line’

Take Advantage of Change And Opportunity

Wed, 11 Sep 2019 23:00:00 -0000

You’re not always able to be involved with new opportunities however it doesn’t mean that you’re not able to take advantage of them. In this episode of The Property Entrepreneur Gordon shares what he’s been up to this week and uses his health experiences to explain how the learnings from them can be applied to business too.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Weekly update: The morning after my tough runner both of my ankles were hurting a lot. My chiropractor had a look at my left ankle and said it was my old hip injury that was causing my legs to run in a way that wasn’t good for my ankles.

If something’s failing or you’re not growing as fast as you want, then ask yourself whether you’re fixing the symptoms or are you addressing the root cause for the problem?
Once you build a good relationship with your estate agents, if they tell you about a good deal that may be outside your area, see if you can alter your business model or fit in the opportunity elsewhere so you don’t miss out.
Spend some time building a portfolio in the new area of the property that your estate agent’s given you information about. This way you’re scaling and growing.
A lot of people stick don’t want the hassle of investing outside of their core area but it doesn’t mean that they can’t take advantage of this opportunity. You could create a deal or give this property to this deal sourcer.

BEST MOMENTS

‘A lot of people treat symptoms rather than the root cause of a problem.’

‘It’s worth looking at problems holistically’

‘Your processes may need to change with new opportunities.’

‘If you can’t take advantage of that opportunity yourself… package it up as a deal’.

‘Be ready to take advantage of new opportunities that may come up.’

‘The world’s a shifting place, nothing’s always the same.’

...Who Moved My Cheese?

Wed, 04 Sep 2019 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode of The Property Entrepreneur Gordon gives us his weekly update on what he’s been up to along with some helpful tips following from last weeks’ episode. Also discussed in this episode is a book review of ‘Who moved my cheese’ which Gordon shares some of his favourite takeaways from the book.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I’ve completed my first tough runner event. I’m looking to get in a half marathon once every month.

A lot of people put things off and always use an excuse not to start something when really there’s no excuse for today to be the day.
Focus on starting today so it becomes a habit or like second nature so tasks don’t feel like a task. The you can iron out the creases later and make improvements later down the line.
Book review: Who moved my cheese
This is an older book but is quite thin (95 pages long). You could probably read this in less than 1 hour.
This book is all about change and adapting so that you’re prepared for change. It’s a fun story and the metaphor that comes along with it is really useful too.

If an opportunity comes along for you but you’re not ready to take advantage of it, the likelihood of that opportunity arising again is very unlikely, so always stay ready.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It’s important to control in life and business what you can control.’

‘Start today because we’re not guaranteed tomorrow.’

‘Old beliefs will not lead you to new cheese.’

‘Noticing small changes early helps you adapt to the bigger changes that are to come.’

Start Doing It Today!

Wed, 28 Aug 2019 23:00:00 -0000

Whether it be your fitness journey, your dream business, or just learning a musical instrument, ‘IT’ doesn’t matter what it is. What only matters is you have to start doing IT today!

It becomes daunting when we ask ourselves how do we start. Some of us might start from scratch and some might just be continuing from an unplanned halt. Remember that every beginning requires a lot of mental, physical, and emotional work. If Gordon tells you that the most difficult part is at the very start, would you be convinced to move today? Well, you should for growth, development and freedom!

Start listening in to the latest of The Property Entrepreneur Podcast to learn more. As they say, “the best time to start was yesterday, and the second-best time is today!”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Gordon attended the VIP Masterclass by Progressive Property this month. It’s important for him he gets updated with the latest trends and news in the property world, aside from having a refresher of the fundamentals.
The hardest bit in any journey is the starting bit—the preparations, the planning, and the execution. Then, once you’ve made the first step, all you got to do is keep your momentum.
Your fears, doubts, and insecurities have their own way of showing up and look for excuses when a very good idea comes up. Don’t get rattled and see what could be the outcome.
And even if it’s your finances that your problem in getting started, there can always be a way on how you can get some capital. Find investors, look for loans, or sell your undesired stuff.

BEST MOMENTS

“Continuous learning is important no matter what business you’re in.”
“Once you’ve put things [capitals] in place, you’ve already started your journey.”
“What is that you could do that you just need to do to get started?”

Your U.S.P

Wed, 21 Aug 2019 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode of The Property Entrepreneur Gordon gives an update on what his upcoming plans for the new year. He also explains the importance of USP’s and how you can come up with your own and have one up on your competition.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I’ve got a new dog back pack for Snow which sits on her back and can hold things such as water for when we go on long walks.
I’ve signed up for a new 100 kilometre race next year which is the furthest I’ve completed so far. I’ve also signed up for a marathon next year in January too.
No matter what business you have you will need a unique selling point (U.S.P) because that’s what is going to bring your customers.
If you run a property business, then here are a few things you could do to be better than your competition:
Offer high end accommodation. A lot of rental accommodation is ok but only done up to the bare minimum so you could give higher quality accommodation for a lower price than your competition.
If you’re a serviced accommodation provider, ensure the service you’re providing is better than anyone else’s. This can work really well for holiday properties. You could JV with other local business and offer discounted rates to your clients.
If you have a HMO could you eliminate any of the extra charges for your clients?
Think outside of the box and offer something slightly different to your competitors.

BEST MOMENTS

‘What can I do better than my competition?

‘Is there anything you can do to make your tenants life easier?’

‘Once you have a USP think about how you’re going to advertise that.’

‘Let people know what your USP is’

‘Make the USP easy to access.’

Living life

Wed, 14 Aug 2019 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode of the Property Entrepreneur Gordon covers what he’s been up to this week as well as how surrounding yourself by people who you aspire to be like can help you in business and life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Whilst playing golf I realised that I hit more shots in the places that I didn’t want the ball to go because I was focusing on where I didn’t want the ball to go rather than where I wanted the ball to go.
Make sure you schedule in down time, whether that’s going for long distance runs or doing something that you like away from business.
Focus on what you want and make small changes to make it happen.
If you’re always around negative people with negative mind-sets, then that negativity will seep into you and effect the way you think or do things.

Surround yourself by people who you have aspects of where you want to be in life so you can take their knowledge and hopefully get to where they also are.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I was playing to avoid those obstacles rather than playing to hit my target’

‘The law of attraction is relevant to business and life outside of business.’

‘Where focus goes, energy flows.’

‘Where you are today is a result of what you were doing yesterday.’

‘Ensure you plant the right seeds to get the right fruit that you want.’

Eliminate The Perceived Risk Holding You Back

Wed, 07 Aug 2019 23:00:00 -0000

Do you often find yourself putting off important tasks/responsibilities because of minor reasons and excuses? Well, you’re not alone. In this episode of The Property Entrepreneur podcast, Gordon shares his tips of escaping inertia by facing issues head-on. By understanding the perceived risks preventing you from moving forward, you can form and implement a plan and manage them effectively.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Anyone can come up with reasons or excuses to not start something right now. Write down these excuses that are preventing you from beginning, break them down and come up with some resolutions for yourself, 3 bullet-points max should allow you to mitigate the risk
Consider keeping aside a set percentage of your capital each month as a ‘slush fund’. Having money in case of emergencies is great way of insuring yourself against any emergencies that may occur. For example, tenants ruining your property.
If you find yourself struggling to find solutions to diminish the risk, search for them online! If Brexit is one of your worries as a property investor, research the potential risks Brexit may have on landlords and what you can do to safeguard yourself.
Dominate these off-putting risks, don’t let them be time killer and don’t spend too much time creating plans around them, just have the security of knowing you have the remedies in the back of your head.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you have any potential future worries, write a couple bullet points about how you can go about fixing them’

‘If the risk does become an issue, you know you don’t have to struggle or stress about it’

‘Don’t worry about every single potential risk’

‘The risks you perceive when starting a new venture will be different to the risks you perceive when you are 6 months into your venture.’

‘Spend more time implementing your solutions than the time you spent coming up with them’

Have YOU Optimised Your Business Model & Business Plan?

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 23:00:00 -0000

This week Gordon looks in detail at business models and plans. He takes us through step by step so that we can all create a one-page business model showing the different elements of our business – key partners, key activities, key costs and revenue streams along with

an efficient and optimised step by step business plan.

He also shares the importance of practising to improve the elements of any activity as he reflects on running in the Forest of Dean and mixing it up with other sports activities over the weekend.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You should have a business model and plan whatever your business.

Business Models

Give you an overall strategy and direction - It can be easy to be distracted by other strategies resulting in the use of multiple parts of different strategies.
It's difficult to be efficient and effective using elements of multiple strategies.
It is recommended that you utilise 3 strategies splitting your time;

70% core strategy

20% second strategy

10% third strategy

This ensures any risk is spread across those strategies.

Business Plans

A business plan will bring structure and will allow you to break down each part of your process and optimise it.
When the parts of each strategy are evident it is possible to determine what is required to make that process streamlined and optimised.
A business plan will allow you to identify the areas that you can improve and those that may be blocking your business from growing.
The more readable and concise your business plan the more effective it is as a working document.
A business plan also provides a handbook that can be utilised by new employees
As you are creating your business plan and think carefully about the steps you are planning and identify how it can be effective and efficient.
Having a business plan and model is key for any business.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Why are you looking at anything else you should be prioritising and becoming competent at those strategies’

‘I know which parts of my process I need to work on at any one time’

‘If you are going through the process and streamlining then you are going to get value from it’

Getting Inspired with Exposure to Positivity and Success.

Wed, 17 Jul 2019 23:00:00 -0000

‘You have to go through the process to learn it properly and work through the problems to understand them’

If you want to realise your dreams then having a plan and working effectively towards your goals is key. Gordon explores the importance of learning and exposure to those who can inspire you in this episode. Listen in for practical advice on how to get started on your journey.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are multiple ways to earn an income from your own business and there are many ways to replace the income from your job.
There is no guarantee with an investment but this the same for any job, you could be made redundant or be sacked at any point, nothing is ever permanent.
Being well informed and educated helps to lower the risk in any chosen area.
There is a huge amount of free information available but it’s vital to invest your time and research the topic thoroughly and in-depth.
Attending courses and having a mentor or coach will accelerate the learning process.
A good property course will provide you with specific information that will help mitigate the risks and if you link to the community you will have ongoing access to individuals who can help with any challenges you face on your journey.
Having people, you can talk with, can accelerate your progress. If a mentor or coach understands what you are trying to achieve they will be able to provide advice and support tailored towards helping you achieve your goals and minimising the risks along the way.
The role of an accountability coach is to keep you on track and accountable against the goals and milestones you have set. They look at patterns and trends identifying sticking points and working with you to find solutions.
You have to go through the process to learn it properly and work through the problems to understand them.
Find people who have done it well so that you gain knowledge, confidence and understanding that it can be done successfully. Use their blueprint to help you form your plan.
Exposing yourself to others who are doing what you want to do is inspiring. Be around content that adds value to you and increases the time you are connecting with successful people who’ve already achieved to ensure you are inspired and focused on achieving your goals.

BEST MOMENTS

‘There are a whole host of benefits to you spending the time to get educated’

‘An accountability coach can help you to smooth out the bumps and keep you on track’

‘It’s about setting yourself up for success as best you can and taking the time’

‘If you attend a baseline course there will be others attending who are also starting out, you could pair up with someone and act as each other's accountability partners’

What can You do with Permitted Development?

Wed, 10 Jul 2019 23:00:00 -0000

Today’s episode looks in detail at permitted development regulations along with Article 4 Areas and what this means for property improvements.

Gordon explains in detail the best ways to work with both permitted development regulations and how to move forward if you are in an Article 4 area.

In park run news, Gordon has beaten his previous personal best. An altered routine included a warm-up and running without Snow (due to the heat) this resulted in a new personal best for Gordon and has prompted him to target warming up preparation prior to events as a priority in the future. Listen in to find out what else Gordon has been doing and how you can make property improvements where ever you are.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Permitted development rules are a number of pre-approved regulations that enable you to carry out certain improvements without seeking planning permission.
An article 4 area is one where the permitted development rules do not apply or exist.
Most councils with Article 4 areas produce detailed maps which show individual properties and the designated article 4 area in detail.
Article 4 can include the removal of permitted development regulations in connection to changing windows and doors, building porches and altering surfaces for the provision of parking.
As part of permitted development, you can;
Build a porch
Can out internal alterations
Convert and occupy the loft space
Install micro-generator equipment such as solar panels
Erect an extension
There are guidelines and rules for each of the permitted developments and it's vital that you comply with these.
There is a clear definition of the ‘original building’ which must be adhered to in order to apply permitted development regulations correctly.
If you have any concerns you should speak with a planning officer to clarify the regulations in connection to your property.
Failure to adhere to the regulations can result in the alterations having to be removed and changed in order to make the work compliant.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you want to do something markedly different you have to go through planning permission’

‘Seeking further clarification from your local planning office is vital if you have any queries’

‘If you are in an article 4 area most or all of the permitted development regulations will not apply’

What does a Deal Packager do?

Wed, 26 Jun 2019 23:00:00 -0000

‘There are a whole lot of deal packagers out there in the community’

Do you know what a deal packager does?

This week Gordon discusses deal packaging and how it can be an entry strategy if you want to get into property and key if you are growing your property portfolio.

If you’ve ever wondered what a deal packager does then listen to this podcast and hear Gordon explain the different ways in which deal packagers work.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

A deal packager is someone who looks for property deals, they can specialise in an area such as HMOs or commercial conversions. There are also generalist packagers who cover all types of property
Deal packagers review a property put together all the details about the property and what the best strategy for that property is and sell that deal on to a buyer.
Individuals often use deal packaging as a way of getting started in property because you can make money without buying any property yourself,
it may be worth considering it as an option if you want to get into property
if it is not your primary strategy it is a worthwhile secondary strategy as you research on a potential property purchase can be used to deal package for someone else if the property does not meet your own primary strategy criteria
Looking for local deal packagers and forming a relationship with them will help them to know what you are looking for and this will enable them to build deal packages that are right for you
When you are you are using a deal sourcer you are outsourcing and leveraging someone else’s time, they’re doing the research, viewing the properties and doing the analysis.
You can never outsource the risk, so it is vital to check all the figures supplied by a property sourcer.
Building a relationship with a deal packager will enable an understanding of the particular deal packagers risk appetite and you will be able to adjust the numbers accordingly.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Whatever is the best strategy they package it up for that property’

‘They could sell that deal onto me, charging a fee so they make a little bit of money’

‘The better the relationship with the deal packager the better the deals they will bring you’

‘Make sure the deal stacks up, the deal packager may have been optimistic or cautious with their numbers depending on their risk appetite’

Is It Time To Review Those Goals?

Wed, 19 Jun 2019 23:00:00 -0000

What exactly are you aiming for? And are you on track to reach that goal?

Sometimes it’s worth stopping to review our progress. Can we get to our goal faster if we try a different route? Could we reach that goal more effectively if we try a different method?

By taking the time to review our goals from time to time, we can often find ways of getting there faster, or allowing ourselves the freedom to reach it in a different way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It’s important to establish your goals and set them down at the beginning, so that you can not only refer to them, but measure your progress against them.

Are you still on track to meet your goals by your chosen deadline? If not, what can you do to get yourself back on track? Do you need to try a different method?

Vision Boards - A simple, visual representation of our goals can often be an effective, concise way of reminding ourselves of our aims, and can provide stimulation and inspiration at a glance.

Inspiration material, such as images of possessions we wish to acquire, or quotes from influential people whom we aspire to associate ourselves with, can provide you with that shot in the arm that can lead to a burst of creative energy.

BEST MOMENTS

If you don’t yet have your goals set out, go away now and spend ten minutes getting those written down!’
‘If you don’t have your goals written down then it’s going to be really hard to measure them’
‘It’s not what you’re doing now that earns your wage. It’s what you’re not doing’
‘I’m already feeling positive and happy because I’ve spent time looking at positive things’

Why attending Events are Vital to Your Business Growth and Mindset

Wed, 12 Jun 2019 23:00:00 -0000

‘These events are really good for learning new things, giving you confidence and keeping you in a community where you can network with other like-minded folks’

Who do you learn from?

In this episode Gordon explores the vital role events and conferences play in developing your skills and expertise through learning from others.

He has just returned from The 10X Property Super Conference and shares some of the key messages and why they are so important whatever your business. Listen in to find out more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Across the event, the variety of speakers all brought their own invaluable insights and information on different property strategies.

There were 3 key messages present across the different speakers and they were;

Having the right team

This is about putting together a team who are able to do what you want them to do successfully. It’s vital to be able to trust your team to be able to get on without you being there.

Let them do the job you’ve employed them to do. If you’ve employed the right person this should work, if you feel you need to block them or micromanage them then it may be an indicator they are not the right person for you.

As you start to grow and scale you can review tasks and outsource or employ others to do tasks you don’t want to do or are not expert at.

Following other examples

You can become focused and only look inwards at your business, looking outwards at what others have achieved can be inspirational in driving you forwards in pursuit of your own goals.

Everyone is different, everyone experiences mistakes and you can’t succeed without those mistakes.

If you are following someone, a mentor or coach you must follow the advice they provide.

They are there to help and guide you to the next level. Make the most of their knowledge and experience.

It’s all about your mindset

If you have a fixed mindset you are going to struggle in business. If you have a poverty mindset you will struggle to grow and scale your business.

It's important you put yourself around like-minded people.

If you want to do something you have to believe you can do it. If you can see others doing it, it can be motivating and help with the mindset that anything is possible.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Don’t long handle screwdriver manage them, trust them to do what you’ve

asked them to do’

‘If your company relies on a social media presence can you employ someone to do that for you allowing you time to focus on growing your business’

‘As soon as I started doing what they advised everything took off’

It’s All About Timing

Wed, 05 Jun 2019 23:00:00 -0000

Is it really all about timing to be successful in property investing? It’s not.

In this episode of The Property Entrepreneur Podcast, Gordon discusses that recession, market crashes, and any other economic and political issues shouldn’t be the basis to decide if you’re going to invest or not. Yes, you should be knowledgeable of what to do during the circumstances, but remember that anytime can be a good time to invest in property. Listen to Gordon so you can learn how to strategize and plan on your next move.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Gordon’s highlights of the week:
- He finished a 5K run despite the heat.
- He enjoyed a nice dinner with friends even though the service in the restaurant was really bad.
There should be no excuses when you want to start something, whether it be getting fit, starting a business, or finishing a book. Stop doubting and just do it!
In terms of property, recessions, market crashes, or political change of scenery shouldn’t stop you from investing. There will always be a risk, so better start now.
- “You don’t wait to buy property; you buy property and wait.” – Mark Homer, Co-Founder of Progressive Property
Don’t jump into it unarmed. Do your extensive research and due diligence beforehand. Then, plan.
70/20/10 Strategy can be used as a tool to manage your money. 70% goes to your main strategy, 20% goes to your secondary strategy, and 10% goes to personal and business development.
Think about your exit strategy. Keep enough amount of cash available if ever recession happens again.

BEST MOMENTS

“You will never know, and you will never get there if you don’t start.”
“If you don’t start, you’re not gonna get the result.”
“Don’t try to plan for everything, but plan for the key things.”

Wed, 29 May 2019 23:00:00 -0000

‘Stay on point and don’t waiver, then you will have success’

Gordon shares the highlights of his week and explains the reasons why spending time on the process and a growth mindset are key to achieving more.

If you have been frustrated by others taking credit for what you have done then listen in to find out how you can be the ultimate winner.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Those who are taking short cuts will falter at some point in the future, they will not have built strong foundations or had the opportunity to learn from their mistakes as they’ve progressed on the journey.
If you are working alongside someone else it must be a mutually beneficial arrangement.
There are no short cuts to success, it’s about working hard consistently.
You must start at the beginning, build firm foundations and work your way through the process.
Focusing on your core business and doing it well can lead to unexpected opportunities.
Keeping your brand and message at the forefront is vital as it can attract the attention of others who may present new possibilities that you are not able to foresee.
You should always have a plan but be open to new opportunities as the progression in your process and journey may lead you in different and new directions.
It’s vital to develop a strong growth mindset, not a poverty mindset in order to be successful.
When developing your presence across social media it’s important to take the time to provide valuable content as this will result in followers who will be prepared to stay with you as people invest in people.
The key to moving forward is understanding that;

-Doing nothing leads to going backwards

-Being innovative and tweaking as you progress is vital in the process and journey forward.

-To move forwards and build successfully a growth mindset is vital for your business.

You must believe in your process and invest in your growth mindset to achieve your goals.

BEST MOMENTS

‘How can I grow this naturally and sustainably’

‘You can be broke and have a growth mindset’

‘Take your time and provide valuable content that means people will stay with you’

Keeping Your Focus on The Process, Not The Outcomes

Wed, 15 May 2019 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Gordon reflects on the lessons learnt from working towards and achieving his goals for running a half marathon and discusses the importance of adapting to enable you to not only survive but to thrive.

If you are on your journey as a property investor listen in now to hear Gordon’s advice.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Learning from the half marathon

I completed the full distance 13.1 miles prior to the race. It was a challenge to achieve the distance and a mental hurdle to overcome.
I had set 3 tiers of goals to achieve and during training was able to achieve and move through the tiers. On race day I reframed my goal based on prior experience and was able to complete the race in 1 hour 53 minutes and 16 seconds.
I beat my previous time and my last miles of the race were my fastest!
It was the processes I put in before the race that helped me to achieve my goal. The environment was a very positive factor and helped all the runners.
It was about focusing on training and doing the right things consistently.

The Japanese housing market

Currently, in Japan 8.4 million homes are vacant, many are future homes or vacation homes however they are continuing to build houses even though the country has a shrinking population.
Property developers and entrepreneurs are continuing to make money and have altered and adapted with their strategies to focus on the current gaps in the market. They are now looking to the rise in the holiday home market.
We go through property cycles and at each phase of the cycle, there are opportunities to make money. If you are able to change and adapt you should be able to not only survive but thrive in the market.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you make a mistake it’s important to learn from it so you can make changes moving forward’

‘It is about the process, not the outcome’

‘It helps me to focus on the most important things’

‘Even if you run into problems you have to get back on schedule and stay consistent’

Talking To Estate Agents, And Managing Patience And Expectations

Sat, 11 May 2019 09:40:23 -0000

In this episode, Gordon discusses the importance of networking, and the value in communicating effectively with estate agents.

What is the best approach to take when talking to estate agents, and which questions should you be asking? By knowing the best way of communicating with this vital area of property investment, you’ll learn how to maximise the impact they can have on your business.

Plus, how can we ensure that our patience is never tested? By realistic management of our expectations, can we see to it that our goals are always met?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Creating a rapport with estate agents is important, and should be nurtured immediately. Simply chatting and catching up with estate agents in your local area, even on a personal, friendly basis will improve your standing.

Personal visits can work better than phone calls. Most communication takes place physically, so a much greater rapport can be created by talking to an estate agent in person.

Do they have any properties that have been on the market for quite some time? Identifying properties that aren’t selling quickly may indicate overpricing or a project that requires a lot of work to make suitable. These issues may be ones that you are specialised in dealing with, which will make these “problem properties” a far more attractive deal to you personally.

Do you have any properties that are both for sale and to rent? People offering a property up for sale and rent are generally in need of a quick cash flow. Perhaps you can help to install a tenant into the property, or even acquire the rental as a deal to pass on to someone looking to invest in a let.

Do you have any empty properties? Vacant properties are generally caused by a seller moving to a new property before their old one is sold. This can mean that the seller is more motivated, and can be open to more creative ways of offloading the property to you.

Do you have any seller who keep calling the office for updates? Sellers calling often for progress updates indicates a seller that needs instant movement. Sellers like this are easy to deal with, and will be motivated to make the sale go through quickly.

Do you have any properties listed with multiple agents? Again, this will indicate that the owners/sellers have struggled to achieve momentum in their sale. By viewing these properties you can identify issues that the property may have, and it may open up opportunities for creative ways to acquire the property.

Setting yourself a realistic timeframe at the beginning of any project will help you to focus your patience levels. If a project is expected to take twelve months, and it does, then this project requires little patience because your goals were clear at the outset. Remember that you only need patience when something takes longer than it should.

This outlook on patience can be applied to all areas of life, whether its professionals or personal. By setting realistic expectations up front, we can better manage our patience levels. You can manage this better by taking advice from people who’ve walked the path before you.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It’s important to learn from other people and set yourself up for success with the right people’

‘Building relationships in person makes you a little bit more memorable’

‘The longer a property’s been on the market, the more open they are more creative ways of selling’

‘I like the idea of working with the process’

‘Set goals based on the process, not on the outcome’

‘You only need patience when something takes longer than it should’

‘Why would you ask for advice and then ignore it?’

Should I Offer More? The Difference between Your Dream Home and a Business Property

Wed, 01 May 2019 23:00:00 -0000

‘It’s vital that you have calculated not estimated what your highest amount is’

Gordon explains how to accurately calculate the highest amount you should purchase a property for and the importance of sticking to this figure.

He offers advice on the difference between purchasing your dream home and a Property for your portfolio. Listen in to find out more about property purchasing and what Gordon has been doing in preparation for the upcoming half marathon.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It's important to take the time to switch off and relax so your productivity doesn’t drop and you don’t burn out.

If you are someone who finds it difficult to complete things being aware of this and focusing on finishing each task before starting something else is vital.

When looking at purchasing any property you will need to consider what is the highest amount you are able to offer.

You need to look at what finance you have available. If it is a personal purchase you need to explore what is available to you and what you can borrow.

If you are looking to calculate your highest bid amount for business property to add to a portfolio then the amount is based on profitability.

How long it will take for the property to make a return on the amount you have invested in it.
You must look forward,  what will be the situation in a month’s time? what is the impact? will the pain be worth it over the short term for a long-term gain?

The answer like many answers is it depends on the individual situation

BEST MOMENTS

‘If it was a personal property purchase it might be worth the pain if it was the

perfect property’

‘It’s important to know the impact of the risk’

‘I like to focus on several different things at the same time’

‘Always stay on the side of calculated risk’

How to Find the Tenants You Want

Wed, 17 Apr 2019 23:00:00 -0000

Following last week’s episode focusing on different tenant types this podcast is about where you can find and advertise to attract different types of tenant and the importance of self-confidence and self-belief for every individual.

In the weekly update, Gordon reflects on the importance of goal setting as he continues training for a half marathon and why temporary pain suffered, whether physically or in connection with your business can be worth it, listen in to find out more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

To successfully attract different tenant types, it is vital to know and understand where and how to advertise your property.

Students

Advertise on the notice boards within the college. Get in touch with the college housing team and let them know what accommodation you have.
If you already have student tenants then offer them a token of appreciation or a small cash bonus if they can find you tenants.

Professional tenants

Approach and establish relationships with companies who may have employees looking to rent.

Families

If you are looking for families then advertising through online estate agents and bricks and mortar estate agents will be successful in locating families who are seeking a rented property.

What is self-confidence and self-esteem?

If you keep your promises to yourself your confidence will increase.
People lose self-confidence when they let themselves down continually.
If short term goals are set and you do not achieve them on a regular basis you lose momentum and your self-confidence is lowered until you reach a point where you are unable to see yourself doing or achieving anything.
Have the belief in yourself, it’s not other peoples' responsibility to believe in you or understand what you are trying to achieve.
It’s about having a view of the future.

BEST MOMENTS

‘As training has been successful and I have made great improvements I have updated my goals’

‘If the outcome or results outweigh the pain then it is worth getting through the pain’

‘It’s about getting out there and doing it’

‘It’s crucial to have self-belief ‘

Tenant Profitability and Consistency

Wed, 10 Apr 2019 23:00:00 -0000

Consistency is King in everything that you do so you don’t let success and victory slip away from your hands.

In today’s episode of The Property Entrepreneur Podcast, Gordon focuses on the topics of tenant profitability and the importance of consistency in everything that you do. In terms of tenant profitability, it pays to know what are the tenant types, what the area’s demographics are, and how much profit do you need to be sustainable. It’s okay if you have to change up the setup in your property; you have to be observant and strategic, so your property business continues growing.

In the last part, we also discuss consistency. Being consistent is a characteristic that should be possessed not just for people in business, but for everyone who wants to improve their career, their relationships, and themselves.

All of these will be discussed and more when you tune in!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Gordon’s highlight of the week:
- He has been running consistently for the last four months now.
- His advice is to know your limits and plan accordingly. Don’t overdo it.
- He had a bad experience in a restaurant. It helps everyone that to move up in their career is to have the ‘owner’ mindset rather than the ‘worker’ mindset.

Tenant Profitability

You can have a different amount of profits depending on the type of tenants that rent your property. For example, student rental will be lower than a professional rental.
- Each tenant type has its pros and cons. Make sure to do your research.
- Remember that you can change your market anytime especially when you’re having problems with the current setup. Observe the demand in the area and your needs also.
- You can work with the Local Council so you can house people on benefit schemes.
In business, an avatar is an ideal customer. It’s created with a complete background, interests, and specific issues. Think about it so it can be the basis of your plans.

Consistency

Break down the bigger goals into smaller goals, and always celebrate the small wins. Those small wins also mean that you’re getting close and closer to your big goal, so be consistent on getting those small wins.
When you take action, make sure to do it regularly – daily, weekly, etc.
In the property world, try to see 10 real estate agents a month. If it has become comfortable, then increase the number on the next month. Just remember to do it consistently, so you don’t miss out on opportunities.

BEST MOMENTS

“Just because you can do more, it doesn’t mean necessarily that you should.”
“When you’re in a job, you should be operating in an ‘owner’ mindset, not a ‘worker’ mindset.”
“It’s worth having to think about your tenant type and how will that reflect on your strategy.”
“If you’re not consistent at getting the small wins, then you’re not going to achieve those bigger goals.”
“It’s the consistent actions that take you to the next level.”

Doing Something New

Wed, 03 Apr 2019 23:00:00 -0000

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein

It’s not repetition that yields the best outcome. Yes, you have a carefully planned process in place; but what if it does not fit anymore? What if it’s not making any more significant results?

Then it’s time to tweak it or do something new.

So, in this episode of The Property Entrepreneur Podcast, Gordon suggests that you evaluate your processes and look for things that can be changed or improved. It does not matter if you’ve done them a million times over; if you’re not progressing and stepping up a level, then you have to go back to the basics and think of something new.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Gordon’s highlight of the week:
- Two of his longest runs this week were the seven-mile run last Friday and the eight-and-a-half mile run last Saturday.
- Progressing nicely and doing well in preparation for a half marathon in May.
- Change to a healthier diet.
If you’re going to do the same processes, then you’ll be most likely to get the same results. You need to tweak things up, try different iterations, and evaluate what’s the best solution.
Do an introspection. What areas of your life do you need a little bit of a boost? Sometimes it’s not just pure effort and consistency that you need. Go back to the basics and try to determine what’s lacking.
If the processes that you have put in place for your business, even if they’re followed and executed well, are not working, then it’s time to go back to the planning table. Assessments should be a regular thing, so you know that the business is developing.
Take note that when you do a modification, you have to give it time to see significant results. Give it a couple of runs also.
Progressive Property’s 10X Property Super Conference with Grant Cardone will be held on the 7th of June in InterContinental London. Get on the VIP list and get a discount if you message Gordon through The Property Entrepreneur Facebook page.

BEST MOMENTS

“It’s Quarter Two now; it’s time
“Sometimes, we get absorbed by the process. It’s important that you focus on the process and execute the process. Sometimes, we get caught up, and it’s worth reviewing that.”
“Although you’re consistently putting the time and executing the process, maybe you need to tweak the process and do it in different times.”
“Have that self-awareness and retrospective view.”

“If you’re investing the time today, it’s going to affect where you go in the future.”

We’re almost done with Quarter One, so how is it going so far? In this latest episode of The Property Entrepreneur Podcast, Gordon gets you ready so moving into Quarter Two shall be smooth and satisfactory as much as possible. Learn today the art of taking stock of what you achieved in quarter one and adjusting to moving forward into quarter two.

Revisiting your plans and assessing what you have done quarterly is a good practice, so you always stay on track in achieving your goals. Gordon also discusses ‘scoreboard watching’ and how to do it in the right way to see your progress. There are times that you need to mix things up and change paths to get there – that’s okay. As long as, your end goal is clear, you believe in it, and you execute your plans well, you are all set. Just remember that you have to keep your physical and mental health in good shape if you want to get there.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Gordon’s highlights of the week:
- Cut his hands while cutting onions. He had to use his dog’s first aid kit. Lesson learned after this: Always keep a first aid kit at home.
- He ran over 7 miles in 54 minutes. He’s getting ready for a half marathon in May.

Taking Stock of What You Achieved in Quarter One:

Did you achieve the goals you set up at the beginning of the year? Hopefully, you’re hitting those targets, and you are in the right place as planned.
Reevaluate if you’re small goals are still the right thing that you should target for your future plans.
If you didn’t reach your goal in the first quarter, then check if you can reschedule them in the coming months.
Don’t get caught up in ‘scoreboard watching’, the act of monitoring how you’re performing.
- For example, when Gordon monitors how the Property Entrepreneur Podcast attracts an audience, engagements, etc., he sees to it that he does not get affected if he does not see big changes.
- And, if you don’t look at the ‘board’, you don’t get to assess if you’re really improving.

Adjusting to Move Forward into Quarter Two:

For example, you’re able to commit to your plan that you meet 5 estate agents every week. Try to upgrade that plan and increase your number of appointments. If you struggled with that plan, choose an area or a time you can commit to.
If you’re following your plans but has not seen any progress or benefits after, check the execution. Are you doing it right? If you feel that you need to gain more knowledge, wisdom, and confidence, get a tutor or a mentor.
“You’re the average of the five people spend the most time with.” – Jim Rohn
- Spend your time with people who are also in property. You can learn from their stories and experience. Have a positive relationship with your loved ones.
Always take good care of your physical and mental health. You need the energy, the positivity, and the motivation to do your tasks regularly to achieve your goals.
Be consistent with what you need to do. Remember that what you invest every single day will definitely manifest its benefits in the future.
If you believe that you can achieve your goals, you can see how you can work your way to it. It doesn’t matter if others can’t see it.
Stop concentrating on the big things. Concentrate on doing the small wins.

BEST MOMENTS

“Even if you had achieved them, you need to look back and check if they were the right goals.”
“Quarter one is a big milestone throughout the year, so it’s a good point to check back on your goals.”
“It’s about managing the right things and make sure you’re score boarding the right thing.”
“If you think there’s a gap in your knowledge that’s holding you back or preventing you from achieving your goals, your aim now is to try and identify what you need to do to fix that.”
“You have to help the future you and remember, what you do today will help you get to where you need to be in five years’ time.”

Getting the Most From Your Property Training and Taking Ownership

Thu, 21 Mar 2019 00:00:00 -0000

In this episode of The Property Entrepreneur Podcast, Gordon gives us tips on how to get the most out of the property training you attend. There are a lot who offer property training out there, but the ones provided by the Progressive Property is where Gordon learned most of what he knows about property. He lets you in today on what courses you could take if you want to specialise on a specific property type.

Aside from this, Gordon also talks about taking ownership. When you try to own up to your mistakes, not just your achievements, we better ourselves and we make sure we don’t hurt others. If you’re trying to make your way in your career or grow your business, this is a crucial aspect you should always take note of. Discover more when you tune in!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Gordon’s highlight for the week:
- Gordon runs with his dog every time he does a run. But, one time, his dog wasn’t feeling great after they went for a walk and was limping the following morning.
- He learned that sometimes you just need rest to recover from a mistake so that you can get back up again to do the essential things.
Progressive Property training has been helpful to Gordon. He highly suggests you attend their training, courses, and events.

Getting the most from your property training:

Get in the area the night before so you can rest and prepare for the days of the training. Choose a hotel or an inn that is close to the venue.
Get to the course early, so you avoid long lines, get better seats, and network with others.
Don’t be scared to ask questions.
Take advantage of dinner events to catch up with other students and share your property journeys.

Taking ownership:

Avoid making excuses when you aren’t able to deliver what you need to do.
When someone’s not treating you right, think of ways how it is the way. It may be that they don’t trust you enough or you don’t have enough reputation.

BEST MOMENTS

“It’s really important to take time off. If you’re injured in the future, you don’t really want to be giving yourself grief over that. You want to push and continue to do the right things but make sure that you don’t overdo it.”
“The networking is the real key. Don’t forget to do that.”
“Taking ownership of the situation and reshaping that in your mind, you can actually turn that around and succeed.”

Implement What You Learn & Managing Your Finances

Thu, 14 Mar 2019 00:00:00 -0000

‘Plan to become wealthy or unexpectedly become poor’

In this episode, Gordon explains the importance of continuous learning and making sure you implement what you have learnt.

He explains how knowing where your money is and what you are doing with it will help you achieve more and get further in whatever you are doing.

Make sure you tune in now to take control and move to the next level.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Continuous Learning

A mentor and continuous learning are key components for self-improvement.

You can access learning for improvement through books and a small amount every day soon adds up.

In ‘The Miracle Morning for Entrepreneurs’, Hal Elrod explains how reading a little bit each day adds up. If you read 10 pages a day this adds up to 3,650 pages per year. This is the equivalent of 18 books with 200 pages.

If you are reading this number of books over a year, related to your chosen subject, then you will see improvement.

Implementation

If you are reading about it you also need to be implementing it. You will subconsciously start doing some of the new things you are reading about, by osmosis but if you put some effort into implementing some of the things you are learning then you’re going to move to the next level much faster.

Regular reviews

If you take notes when you are reading or attending courses it’s important to plan regular review sessions. These sessions provide an opportunity to review what has been learnt and to schedule the focused implementation of key learning and strategies.

It’s about setting yourself up for success, in identifying those 2 or 3 key ideas and scheduling them to be implemented you will gain the most benefit from learning.

Knowing your finances

Understanding your finances is vital and setting time aside on a regular basis is a useful opportunity to review and plan for the future.

Rob Wilson, financial expert states you should ‘plan to be wealthy or unexpectedly become poor’

It’s not about how much money you have, it's about knowing where your money is at a given time, knowing what you have to spend money on, knowing what money you have available at any moment and your plan for the future.

Managing debt

Identify which debts have the highest interest rates and pay those off first.

Look at how much credit you have available at any given time. It’s important to know how much credit you have available as this credit can be used for any unexpected expenses.

As an investor knowing what amount of credit you have at any time is a key part of managing your money.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Be careful about becoming a personal development junkie without putting the effort into implementing it’

‘Everything I learn everything I want to implement’

‘See how you can take yourself to the next level’

‘If you are not intentionally planning to become wealthy, then you will unexpectedly become poor’

‘I have now got a very clear picture for my money over the next 6 months and have set some good financial goals’

‘Making the most of the money you have got’

‘Why not have it coming out of an account that gives you cash back for that stuff’

‘You should track your credit score, so you know what to expect. Access a site providing credit scores such as Experian or clear score’

‘Always schedule a time to review and plan for implementation of what you have learnt’
