Property Magic Podcast

Simon recounts a specific project where he partnered with individuals who were managing multiple developments simultaneously, leading to significant delays and financial losses.  He discusses the importance of thorough vetting of joint venture partners, clear communication, and the necessity of having written agreements outlining responsibilities, as well as highlighting  the potential benefits of joint ventures when executed correctly KEY TAKEAWAYS It's crucial to thoroughly understand your joint venture partners, including their workload and capabilities. Overcommitting can lead to mismanagement and project delays. Clearly define who is responsible for what in the joint venture. Having a written agreement helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures accountability. Schedule regular check-ins to discuss project progress and address any issues. This helps keep everyone on the same page and fosters a sense of urgency. Ensure that all parties are aware of the financial costs involved, including interest on borrowed money. This awareness can motivate partners to act more promptly and responsibly. BEST MOMENTS "The number one mistake I made was I didn't ask them how many projects they were doing." "When someone doesn't feel the cost or the pain of the interest that's mounting up, they don't have the same sense of urgency." "You've got to be able to get on really well with that person... take your time to get to know people." "If you have an agreement in writing, it's then very clear who has or who hasn't done what they should do."

Simon discusses the benefits of joint venturing with property owners, highlighting how investors can make significant profits without using their own money. He presents a practical example involving a mastermind student who collaborated with a landowner and a financier to develop a piece of land into specialised supported housing, potentially yielding substantial returns. Additionally, learn about creative financing strategies, such as purchase options, which allow for quicker transactions and avoidance of stamp duty KEY TAKEAWAYS Joint venturing with property owners allows investors to make significant profits without using their own money, avoid stamp duty, and complete transactions much faster than traditional property purchases. Building a strong network in the property industry is essential for success. The more connections you have, the more opportunities you can create for joint ventures and finding potential deals. Actively seeking out abandoned or empty properties in your local area can lead to lucrative off-market deals, where there is less competition compared to properties listed for sale. Investing in personal education and collaborating with knowledgeable partners can enhance your ability to identify and execute profitable property deals, making joint ventures more effective. BEST MOMENTS "You can make a lot of money investing in property using none of your own money." "If you keep doing it, it absolutely works." "Because you're not actually buying the property, you can do the transaction much, much quicker." "With off market property deals, you have no competition at all." "Grow your network, invest in yourself, educate yourself, and these opportunities are out there."

Simon examines the critical importance of specialised knowledge for successful property investing. He introduces the 3M method—Measure, More, and Multiply—as a framework for maximising returns in your property business. He also talks about how to take action by attending events like Property Magic Live and local Property Investor Network meetings to connect with like-minded individuals and share successful strategies, stressing that investing in oneself and leveraging the experiences of others can significantly enhance your property investment journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS To achieve your property investment goals, it's crucial to gain specialised knowledge. Gaps in your education can lead to costly mistakes, similar to crossing a suspension bridge with missing planks. Investing in coaching can provide the support and accountability needed to navigate challenges in property investing. A coach can help identify blind spots and prevent critical errors. 3M Method for Success: The 3M formula consists of: Engaging with like-minded individuals at events like Property Magic Live or local Property Investor Network meetings can help fill knowledge gaps and provide insights into successful strategies used by others. BEST MOMENTS "The more knowledge you have, you can plug the gaps and you're going to be less likely to make expensive mistakes." "Maybe I should have invested in myself and got a coach because then I probably wouldn't have bought this property." "Sometimes we're so busy doing, we don't take the time out to step back and review the results we're getting." "When you know what's working, just do more of that before you try and invent or introduce anything else." "It's all about growing your network of like-minded people who are doing what you want to do."

Simon discusses the important considerations surrounding the decision to sell a property, sharing insights on why selling might be beneficial, particularly when local demand shifts or when equity is trapped in a property that isn't yielding a good return. He also focusses upon the significance of preparing a property for sale, including conducting necessary refurbishments and selecting a proactive estate agentd decisions about their real estate investments. KEY TAKEAWAYS Selling property can be beneficial if local demand decreases, if there is trapped equity in a property that isn't yielding a good return, or if a full refurbishment has been completed to maximise sale revenue. It's crucial to find a proactive and responsive estate agent. Be wary of agents who inflate property values to secure listings; always ask for comparable sales to validate their pricing. Different agents may provide significantly different valuations for the same property. Conduct thorough research and consult multiple agents to ensure you have an accurate understanding of your property's worth. When evaluating properties, consider not just the cash flow but also the opportunity cost of the equity tied up in the property. A low cash flow may indicate that selling and reinvesting could yield better returns. BEST MOMENTS "If maybe something's happened to the local demand in the area, and it's really hard to rent that property out, or if there's a lot of equity trapped in a property..." "It's so important to make sure you find the right agent. So fingers crossed, we'll see what happens." "When agents are giving you prices of property they think they can sell it for, ask them, can you give me some like comparisons?" "You should look at your portfolio every year to assess all of your investments. Is your money working as hard as it could?"

Simon discusses overcoming mental blocks that hinder success in property investment, stressing the importance of taking action and addressing fears related to funding and self-worth. He highlights common issues such as imposter syndrome and the fear of judgment, encouraging listeners to share their journeys on social media and engage with local property investor networks KEY TAKEAWAYS Many investors face mental barriers that prevent them from taking action, often rooted in fear or self-doubt. Recognizing and addressing these blocks is crucial for progress. It's important to make offers on every property viewed, regardless of current funding. This practice helps build confidence and negotiation skills, even if the offers are initially rejected. Investors should evaluate the potential costs of accessing equity in their properties against the opportunity costs of not pursuing deals. This analysis can reveal profitable opportunities that may otherwise be overlooked. Engaging with local property investor networks and sharing your journey on social media can help build connections and attract potential investors. Overcoming the fear of judgment is essential for growth. BEST MOMENTS "I feel a bit of a fraud... I don't want to use other people's money." "If I take it out, I've got to pay redemption... I'm tied into mortgages." "What other people think of you is none of your business." "You need to say, OK, what does the price need to be in order for this to meet my criteria?"

Simon examines property market crashes and the potential financial pitfalls that can arise, such as negative equity and losses on investments. Drawing from personal experiences over 30 years of property investing, he shares insights on the 2007 market boom and subsequent crash, highlighting the importance of positive cash flow and strategic decision-making. KEY TAKEAWAYS The property market can experience significant fluctuations, as seen during the 2007-2009 financial crisis. It's crucial to recognise that property values can decrease, leading to situations like negative equity. Always prioritise properties that generate positive cash flow. This ensures that even during market downturns, you can maintain ownership without the need to sell under pressure. To mitigate losses during a market crash, plan to hold properties for the long term. Selling during a downturn often results in financial losses, while holding allows for potential recovery as the market improves. Everyone in property investment will encounter challenges and losses. It's essential to learn from these experiences, whether they are your own or those of others, to make informed decisions in the future. BEST MOMENTS "I’ve made some mistakes. I’ve lost some money on some deals. Now, obviously, I’ve made more than I’ve lost overall." "The only people who lose money when the property market comes down are people who have to sell." "If you’re following the five golden rules from Property Magic, you can rent it out and make cash flow. We don’t need to sell." "It’s important to learn from mistakes. It’s better to learn from someone else’s mistakes rather than learning from yours."

Simon shares valuable insights on the four common mistakes that aspiring property investors often make, which can hinder their success. Drawing from his 30 years of experience in property investing and 22 years of mentoring others, Simon emphasises the importance of overcoming worry, building belief in oneself and the potential of property investing, and taking focused action KEY TAKEAWAYS Many potential property investors let fear and worry about uncertainties in the market hold them back. It's important to recognise that much of this worry is unfounded and can prevent you from seizing opportunities. There are two types of belief crucial for success in property investing: belief in the potential of property investing itself and self-belief. Surrounding yourself with successful investors can help build your confidence and understanding of what is possible. Engaging in activities like watching videos or attending events is not enough. Successful property investing requires focused action, such as finding and viewing properties, making offers, and negotiating deals. Failing to act on knowledge and opportunities can lead to significant financial losses. The longer you wait to invest, the more potential income and wealth you miss out on. BEST MOMENTS "Human nature is we worry about things. And very often we worry about things before they happen. A lot of that worry is wasted energy."  "The biggest mistake is the opportunity cost of despite knowing what you should do, not actually doing it."  "If you think you can or think you can't, you're absolutely right."  "Just being around like-minded people could be absolutely transformational."

Simon addresses a common question among property investors: whether to buy a property with vacant possession or with tenants in situ. The discussion highlights the pros and cons of both options, emphasising the potential benefits of purchasing tenanted properties, such as immediate rental income and the opportunity to increase rents over time. Simon shares personal experiences, including a case study of acquiring a tenanted HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) and successfully refurbishing it while keeping tenants happy.  KEY TAKEAWAYS When buying a property, consider whether to purchase with vacant possession or with tenants already in place. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages, such as potential rental income and the condition of the property. If buying a tenanted property, it's crucial to check the tenants' contracts, payment history, and the overall condition of the property. Ensure that all necessary checks were performed by the previous landlord, including deposit protection and compliance with safety regulations. When negotiating the purchase of a tenanted property, aim for a price that is 10-15% lower than what you would pay for a vacant property. This accounts for the lower rental income and the potential challenges of managing existing tenants. It is possible to refurbish a property that is fully tenanted. By communicating with tenants and providing temporary solutions, such as alternative cooking facilities, you can improve the property without requiring vacant possession. BEST MOMENTS "Most people, when they buy a property, normally it's going to have vacant possession where it's empty." "Buying a property with tenants in situ can actually be quite attractive sometimes." "You need to check the contracts that people are currently on to make sure they are correct contracts." "If you’re buying a tenanted property, you should be securing it 10 to 15 percent below what you would pay if it would be empty."

Simon shares a candid and motivational rant, reflecting on the importance of taking action and seizing opportunities in property investing. He discusses his recent experiences, including his recovery from illness and insights gained from reading Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book, "The Science of Scaling." Simon also looks at the value of investing in oneself and the need for discipline and focus to achieve significant goals. He highlights common traps that property investors fall into, such as the landlord trap and the comfort trap, urging listeners to push beyond their comfort zones KEY TAKEAWAYS People who invest in paid programs, such as the Mastermind Accelerator, tend to be more committed and take action compared to those who only consume free information.  To scale and grow effectively, it's crucial to be disciplined with time management and focus on significant goals rather than getting sidetracked by smaller, less impactful tasks.  There are three common traps that property investors fall into: the landlord trap (managing properties themselves), the rat race trap (being asset-rich but cash-poor), and the comfort trap Many people miss out on valuable opportunities due to skepticism or a lack of motivation. Simon encourages listeners to take action, apply for scholarships, and participate in events BEST MOMENTS "The problem with free information is that sometimes people don't value it. They hear it... but they haven't paid for it and so they don't pay attention." "If you really want to scale and grow, you have to be absolutely disciplined with your time and focused on what you are trying to do." "You might be happy where you are. You might be very comfortable... but I honestly believe if you want to become a truly self-actualized person, we need to keep growing." "How many times are you self-sabotaging your success? You're not even having a punt at things because you think they're not going to work."

Simon discusses the inspiring journey of guests Timothy Witt and Phil Bygrave, who have successfully built a comprehensive property investing business. With backgrounds in construction management and sales, respectively, Tim and Phil share their experiences transitioning from traditional employment to entrepreneurship in the property sector. They delve into the importance of joint ventures, deal sourcing, and the value of collaboration in achieving financial freedom. The episode highlights their unique turnkey service that encompasses sourcing, building, and managing properties, making it easier for clients to invest without the usual hassles.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Working with others through joint ventures can enhance success in property investment. Complementary skills between partners can lead to better outcomes, as two individuals can achieve more together than separately. Before starting in property, it's crucial to define what you want to achieve, why you want it, and by when. This clarity helps in selecting the right strategy and maintaining focus on your objectives. To build a successful property business, answer these five questions: Who do you serve? What does their world need? What are you good at? How do you make money? What do you love? These questions guide decision-making and strategy development. Building relationships and sharing your journey in property can lead to opportunities for raising finance. People are more likely to invest in you if they know, like, and trust you, rather than just focusing on the deal itself. BEST MOMENTS "If two plus two can equal five, it's worth doing. It's got to be beneficial in lots of different ways."  "You can have some big, basic criteria and an idea of what you plan to do and maybe some contingencies."  "If you can answer those five questions, your business is going to be okay."  "You haven't built the relationship enough. You haven't got to norm as well as you could."  VALUABLE RESOURCES To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20).

With many investors slowing down their activities for holidays, he encourages you to take advantage of the reduced competition in the market, outlining specific strategies for finding motivated sellers, including using property filter software, engaging directly with estate agents, and reaching out to landlords. KEY TAKEAWAYS The summer months, particularly July and August, are often seen as a slow period for property investors. However, this is a prime time to find motivated sellers as many investors take a break, leading to less competition in the market. Utilise property filter software or platforms like Rightmove and Zoopla to identify motivated sellers. Make direct calls to agents representing these sellers to discuss potential deals and arrange viewings. Visiting estate agents in person can help establish rapport and trust. Present yourself as a serious buyer looking for local expertise, which can lead to better opportunities and insights into available properties. Sending letters to landlords, especially those with HMOs, can uncover off-market opportunities. Many landlords may be looking to sell or are open to creative financing options, making this a valuable strategy. BEST MOMENTS "In the summer, typically in July and August, most property investors decide to slow things down a little bit because they want to go on holiday." "The very reason that most people are off is a reason that you should step up your activity." "When you make an offer, you actually want the seller to reject that offer." "It's great to be able to speak to them outside of the office."

In this very special 300th edition of the Property Magic podcast, Simon reflects on the significant changes in the property market over the past five and a half years, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. He shares valuable lessons for investors, emphasising the importance of understanding property cycles, working with motivated sellers, and maintaining a cash buffer. KEY TAKEAWAYS While property cycles exist, it's important not to base investment decisions solely on them. The long-term trend in the UK property market is upward The response to COVID-19, including the stamp duty holiday and support for construction, significantly impacted the property market, leading to unexpected growth Successful investing involves working with motivated sellers, buying in areas with strong rental demand, ensuring positive cash flow, and holding properties for the long term Building a network and consistently sharing your property journey on social media can attract potential sellers and investors, enhancing opportunities BEST MOMENTS "I wouldn't base your investing decisions on where are we in the property cycle, just recognise that property prices go up, and they also come down." "If you know what you're doing, and if you follow my five golden rules of property investing, then actually it's always a good time to invest." "It's very important for you to plug into a support mechanism. Don't try and be a solo investor doing this on your own." "If you had that cash buffer, it wasn't going to be a problem."

Simon welcomes Stephen Blunson, a successful property investor who shares his inspiring journey from military service to achieving over £100,000 in property income. Stephen discusses his early passion for property, the importance of involving his partner in the investment process, and the value of community support through programs like Mastermind.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Concentrating on a small geographical area, ideally no more than two postcodes, allows for a deeper understanding of the local market, enabling better deal identification and relationship building with local agents and landlords. Bringing a partner into the property investment journey can provide essential support and motivation, ensuring both parties are aligned and informed about the investment process. Engaging with a community of like-minded individuals, such as those in a Mastermind program, can provide valuable insights, support, and accountability, which are crucial for success in property investing. Taking action, such as viewing properties and making offers, is more important than overanalyzing strategies. Many potential investors get stuck in their heads, complicating the process instead of moving forward. BEST MOMENTS "I decided to focus on a very specific area... once you become an absolute expert in the area, anything has the potential to become a deal." "I found that a lot of landlords have this hope and desire that maybe their kids will take over the portfolio, but the kids don't want to know." "It's the relationships, it's the knowledge, it's the support... just getting a bit of a sense check for other people who may be local to that area as well." "Every single one of my deals has fallen through and then it's come back. If you persist and persevere, it more than likely will come back."

Simon examines the innovative strategy of freehold to leasehold title splitting, a method that allows investors to create equity from existing properties. Building on the previous discussion of creative finance, the episode outlines how to identify opportunities in the property market where freehold buildings have already been converted into self-contained units.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Freehold to Leasehold Title Splitting: This strategy involves purchasing a freehold property that has already been divided into individual self-contained units Investors can find suitable properties by searching platforms like Zoopla or Rightmove for larger properties (8 or more bedrooms) that have been split into individual units When evaluating potential investments, it's crucial to ensure that each unit is at least 30 square meters, has separate utility supplies (electric, gas, and water), and that the purchase price is less than 75% of the cumulative value of the individual units. Potential for Increased Value: By creating leases for the individual units, investors can significantly increase the property's value. For example, purchasing a property for £200,000 that can be valued at £300,000 after lease creation can result in £100,000 of equity. BEST MOMENTS "The freehold to leasehold strategy really is property magic, because you literally create equity from thin air." "It's very important that you find apartments or flats where they are fully self-contained and they do not have shared kitchens or shared bathrooms." "Most landlords who own these buildings never bothered to create the leases because they didn't need to." "This is an advanced strategy... I'm giving away this strategy on this live online training because I want to help you make more money."

Simon examines the concept of creative finance investing, emphasising strategies that allow investors to minimise their cash input while maximising returns. He covers historical methods of no money down investing, the importance of finding motivated sellers, and various creative strategies such as joint ventures, private loans, and the BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Refinance, Rent) strategy. Simon also introduces the innovative freehold to leasehold title split strategy, explaining how investors can create significant equity through legal processes.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Creative finance involves using minimal or no personal money in property deals, allowing investors to maximise the number of deals they can undertake and achieve high or infinite returns on investment. Investors can collaborate with others through joint ventures or private loans, where someone else provides the necessary funds for a deal, enabling the investor to acquire properties without using their own money. The BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Rent, Refinance) strategy allows investors to buy properties below market value, add value through renovations, and then refinance to recover their initial investment, often resulting in a positive cash flow and equity. Successful property investing relies on identifying motivated sellers who are flexible on price and terms. Understanding their problems and offering win-win solutions can lead to favourable deals. BEST MOMENTS "Creative finance is where we use as little of your money as possible. And why is that a good thing to do? Well, it means that you can do as many deals as you want." "If you believe you can or can't, you're absolutely right. And one of the ways to build your belief is by learning what other people are doing." "You can take control of the property... and in the meantime, you rent the property from the owner. This is great for a seller who really doesn't want the property anymore." "When you buy a freehold property, if you create the leases on the individual properties within that block, the cumulative value is often more than you can actually buy the block for."

Simon delves into the world of property deal sourcing, offering valuable insights for both aspiring deal sourcers and seasoned investors. He covers the importance of finding great property deals, the criteria for identifying reliable deal sourcers, and the essential compliance measures they should adhere to. You will learn how to assess the quality of deals, the significance of having clear buying criteria, and the benefits of networking within the property investment community.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Deal sourcing involves finding investment properties for those who may have the funds but lack the time or expertise to locate good deals themselves. It can be a lucrative opportunity for both investors and aspiring deal sourcers. When looking for a deal sourcer, investors should assess their recent deals, training background, whether they keep some deals for themselves, and their compliance with industry regulations, such as membership in the Property Redress Scheme and registration with the ICO and HMRC. Investors should be cautious of deal sourcers who request upfront payments to find deals. Instead, it's advisable to pay a reservation fee for specific properties once they are identified, ensuring that the investment is based on tangible opportunities. Both investors and deal sourcers need to conduct thorough due diligence. Investors should clarify their buying criteria to act quickly on good deals, while deal sourcers should vet potential investors to ensure they are financially capable and serious about purchasing properties. Currently, there are more sellers than buyers in the market, creating opportunities for both investors and deal sourcers. Engaging in deal sourcing can be a profitable venture, especially for those willing to put in the effort to find and pass on quality deals. BEST MOMENTS "If you're finding great deals that you don't want, instead of wasting those, why not pass them on to other investors and either get paid a fee for that." "A good deal sourcer will have a one-page summary of each deal they found saying why it is a good deal." "If you are selling property to someone, unfortunately, a lot of people use property as a way of laundering money." "My very strong recommendation is do not pay anyone any money up front to find you deals." "Finding deals that you don't want and passing them on to other people is a great way to make extra money."

Simon discusses the pressing issues facing landlords with expert Paul Shamplina, founder of Landlord Action and commercial officer for Hamilton Fraser. With a wealth of experience in landlord issues and a background in law, Paul shares insights into the recently proposed Renters' Rights Bill, which aims to reshape the private rental sector. They delve into the implications of abolishing Section 21 notices, the challenges posed by rising interest rates, and the importance of landlord education. Paul emphasises the need for landlords to adapt to changing regulations while maintaining good relationships with tenants.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The Renter's Rights Bill is a significant legislative change in the private rental sector, aiming to improve tenant rights while also raising concerns among landlords about the potential impact on their ability to manage properties effectively. Despite challenges such as rising interest rates and regulatory changes, landlords are encouraged to remain adaptable and flexible in their approach to property management to navigate the evolving landscape. There is a strong emphasis on the need for landlord education to ensure compliance with new regulations and to improve the overall standard of rental properties, which can benefit both landlords and tenants. The current rental market is characterised by high demand and low supply, leading to increased rents. Landlords are advised to maintain good relationships with tenants to minimize turnover and avoid the costs associated with vacant properties. BEST MOMENTS "We were fed up with lawyers charging too much money. So we were the original company that did fixed fees in a three-step process because we basically were disruptors." "The landlord is a business, it's long term. We have a housing shortage. We have a social housing shortage." "If you keep prodding the bear, eventually it bites back. The bear biting back is a landlord selling a property. Who loses out? The tenant." "I think landlord education should be mandatory in some sort, even if it's just an online course."

Simon looks at the crucial element of consistency in achieving massive success in property investing and business. As part three of a three-part series, the discussion emphasises that success is a product of massive action, the right strategies, and, importantly, consistency. Simon shares insightful examples, such as the importance of follow-up with potential sellers and the need for ongoing engagement in networking. By establishing consistent habits and rituals, listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own practices and make necessary adjustments to enhance their success in property investing and beyond.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Consistency is crucial for achieving success in property investing and business. Many people give up too soon because they expect quick results, but it often takes time to see the fruits of their labor. Following up with potential sellers or leads is essential. A "no" does not mean "no" forever; it often means "not now." Consistent follow-up can lead to successful deals even years after the initial contact. Networking is a key component of property investing. Regularly attending local property network meetings helps build relationships that can lead to future opportunities. Consistency in networking is vital for long-term success. Establishing daily habits or rituals can lead to greater success. Just as brushing your teeth is a consistent habit for health, creating consistent actions in property investing can lead to financial independence. The formula for massive success is "massive action times the right stuff times consistency." All three elements must be present; if any one factor is missing, the overall result will be zero. BEST MOMENTS "Consistency is absolutely the key. Of course, we need to do lots of things, but the consistency is what makes the difference." "No does not mean no, never. It just means no, not now." "If you only do things once and you're not consistent, then you're not going to get the results." "Property is a people business. You need to have relationships with people you're working with, and those develop over time." "By being consistent with some good habits, you will not only become a more successful property investor but a more successful person generally."

Simon continues the three-part series on achieving success in property investing by focusing on the importance of doing the right things. Building on the previous discussion about taking massive action, the episode highlights common pitfalls that aspiring investors often fall into, such as excessive time spent on social media, ineffective networking, and overindulging in free online content without taking action. Simon also discusses the value of creating content, actively engaging with new contacts at networking events, and implementing learned strategies rather than just accumulating knowledge.  KEY TAKEAWAYS While social media can provide inspiration, it's crucial to spend more time creating content and documenting your property journey rather than just consuming information. This proactive approach can attract potential partners and opportunities. Attend networking meetings with the intention of meeting new people. Collect contact details and schedule follow-up calls to build meaningful connections, rather than just collecting business cards without further engagement. It's important to gain knowledge, but at some point, you need to start implementing what you've learned. Successful investors often take action with the knowledge they have, rather than waiting to learn everything before making a move. Participating in paid training courses can provide a structured, step-by-step plan that simplifies the learning process. This can be more effective than sifting through overwhelming amounts of free online content. To achieve success in property investing, it's essential to combine massive action with the right strategies and maintain consistency. This three-part formula will lead to significant results in your property journey. BEST MOMENTS "You know you're wasting time if you're spending a huge amount of time consuming the information rather than creating the information." "Your network is your net worth. And a lot of people go to networking meetings. They collect lots of business cards, but they never really follow up." "The right stuff is to follow a proven plan which other people have followed and other people have got great results." "The most successful people I know are people who've come and done our training. They then just go and do it." "Investing in yourself is the very best investment you can make, followed very closely by obviously investing in property."

Simon looks at the concept of taking massive action in property investing and how to overcome procrastination. He introduces the "massive success formula," which emphasises the importance of combining massive action, doing the right stuff, and consistency to achieve significant success in real estate. Simon outlines key steps for aspiring investors, such as finding motivated sellers, arranging viewings, making offers, and building a network. He also shares valuable resources, including Mel Robbins' "The 5 Second Rule" and Brian Tracy's "Eat That Frog," to help listeners take immediate action and tackle their most challenging tasks.  KEY TAKEAWAYS To achieve success in property investing, it's crucial to take massive action, which includes finding motivated sellers, arranging viewings, making offers, and following up on potential deals. Procrastination can hinder progress. Utilising techniques like Mel Robbins' "5 Second Rule" can help prompt immediate action on opportunities instead of delaying them. Attending networking events and connecting with others in the property industry is essential. Building relationships can lead to potential partnerships and funding opportunities. Books like "Eat That Frog" by Brian Tracy can provide strategies for managing tasks and prioritising actions that lead to success in property investing. Regularly assess what actions you need to take and what activities may be holding you back. Creating a "don't do" list can help identify unproductive habits that need to be eliminated. BEST MOMENTS "If you want to achieve huge success, there are three things you need to do and you need to do them together."  "Procrastination is one of the biggest enemies of massive action." "The more action you take, the better results you get." "If you do that frog, that difficult task, everything else on your list seems easy in comparison."  "You need people to know you, like you, and trust you, and that only comes with time."  VALUABLE RESOURCES To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20).
