The Blueprint Podcast

Welcome to this special 40th birthday podcast.  My brief story as a song writer starts as a DJ aged 15. At university I made songs and remixes and as an adult I have always written poems and lyrics.  During lockdown I built a little studio, wrote some songs and never got anywhere with them (one of them is on this album - Stones in my pocket - well burnt out!!).  This year Olly sent me an Ai App and we started making songs together.  It has been a slog but we managed to get first 6 finished for the album. This is my 40th Bday Gift to you!!!! 6 Songs Start with start up Then making it and burnout Finish light hearted My favourite is number 4, Meet my Addiction - Many of you will be able to relate Let me know what you think by leaving this episode a review or send me a message on social, I would genuinely love to know what you think. I hope you enjoy!

From £30,000 a year self-employed to £1,000,000 a year without an inbox or a phone that rings. If you're serious about going from high-performing employee to highly lucrative entrepreneur, this could be the only blueprint you need. In this episode, I break down the Shifts, Steps & Stages that almost every successful entrepreneur will move through from proving you can make money, to scaling a business, buying assets, building a financial fortress and eventually buying back your time. The fascinating thing is that each stage requires a different version of you.  The behaviours that create success at one level can become the exact behaviours that prevent you reaching the next. I'll explain why you need to drill for oil rather than fly five kites, why growth can kill a good business, why eventually business should become boring and why the final stage of entrepreneurship isn't learning more, it's unteaching yourself much of what got you there. Because after more than 20 years in business, one thing has become increasingly clear: success and failure are far more predictable than most people think.  I hope you enjoy.   Summer is over, the holidays are done, and now is the perfect window to get ahead before Christmas.

Max Scott Returns: The €1.83m Dublin Deal – All Money Out & €3,486 Monthly Cash Flow Max Scott is back on Deals Deals Deals for the third time, having previously joined us on Episodes 64 and 103 back in 2022. A lot has happened since then. In this episode, we catch up with Max on how his property journey and business have developed over the last four years - including the publication of his book, Why Property, now available on Amazon - before getting into the numbers behind one of his latest Dublin deals. The focus is, 111 Seville Place, Dublin 1, an eight-studio residential block plus garage, purchased for €1,075,000 with approximately €75,000 spent on refurbishment.  Rather than carrying out a major refurbishment all at once, the work was completed on a phased, unit-by-unit basis. This meant rental income could continue while the studios were improved and rents increased towards full market levels.  Just six months after purchase, the property was refinanced at a valuation of €1,830,275, returning the investor funds in full and creating €564,053 of equity.  And the result isn't just equity on paper. The deal now produces €3,486 per month in cash flow - with no money left in the deal. The Deal at a Glance Purchase price: €1,075,000 Refurbishment: €75,000 Project turnaround: 6 months Refinance valuation: €1,830,275 Investor funds: Returned in full Money left in: €0 Equity created: €564,053 Annual rent roll: €159,600 Monthly cash flow: €3,486 Valuation yield: 8.72% Net yield on cost: 10.3%  We also talk about Max's wider journey, what's changed since his previous appearances on the podcast and why he decided to put his experience and thoughts on property into his book, Why Property. This is a great example of what effective capital recycling can look like: buy, improve, refinance, return all the money invested and retain a cash-flowing asset with substantial equity.

Plus, an update on the £1 Million in 90 Days challenge!!! In this episode, I share the ten practices that have had the biggest impact on my quality of life, physically, mentally, financially and emotionally. This is not about chasing temporary happiness or pretending life is perfect. It is about creating the habits, routines and foundations that allow you to perform at your best while genuinely enjoying the life you are building. I explore the importance of protecting your health, creating financial security, improving your sleep, finding space to think, investing in your personal development and doing more of the things that make you proud. I also discuss why work should feel more like play, why proper downtime is essential rather than optional, and how the smallest daily decisions can quietly improve or gradually erode the quality of your life. You do not need to completely reinvent yourself. You may simply need to remove what is getting in the way and consistently practise more of what makes life feel good. Success and failure are both very predictable. I hope you enjoy. Make Sure Your Business Is Ready for the Opportunity The property market is creating opportunities, but only businesses with the right strategy, systems, finance, and lead generation will be ready to take advantage of them.
