Been to an event, got highly motivated, fired up and ready to go the next day? Get started, hit some blocks, motivation wanes, you give it, you get excited about something else only to repeat the cycle. Sounds familiar?

In this episode, Alex discuses the four phases of implementing any strategy (Euphoria, Epiphany, Evolution and Excellence) and why most people get stuck in a shiny penny syndrome loop in the first two stages and (most importantly), the BLUEPRINT to reaching the Excellence stage.

If you've ever procrastinated on a venture, hit obstacles, develop limiting beliefs and quit, hit a plateau and can't seem to breakthrough that glass ceiling then this episode is for you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Surround yourself with like-minded people
• Inspiration can help you gain motivation
• Accountability from others and yourself is essential in meeting goals.

• Shifting mindset is a fundamental part of personal development. By having a clear vision, developing a compelling reason why, and upgrading the belief system, a positive and empowering mindset can be cultivated to help overcome challenges and achieve goals.

• You need vision to find success. Acompelling vision and a clear blueprint helps you stay motivated and overcome challenges,

BEST MOMENTS

"I've built up a six-figure property business up to now, but that has actually been built up simply by following a system, simply by following a model. And it is this model that I'm going to share with you guys tonight so that you can also benefit."

"You go pass through the traffic lights and so on. Because you've developed this unconscious competence. You can do things almost on autopilot because you've been doing things many, many times over."

"You are eliminating your excuses. You own your agenda here. You know there's no one else who is going to come for you. Everything depends on you."

"In the absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until, ultimately, we become enslaved by it."

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Alex believes in using property as a vehicle to achieve financial and time freedom.

• His strategy focuses on buying commercial or mixed-use properties, splitting the titles, and converting the commercial units into residential to maximize returns.

• The target acquisition value ranges from £100,000 to £150,000, with a minimum of two-bedroom units and a minimum yield of 25% on capital employed.

• The corporate structure involves setting up separate SPVs for the freehold and leaseholds, with different lenders used for each property to spread the risk.

• Leveraging commercial units can be challenging due to limited lender options and lower loan-to-value ratios, but refinancing after converting to residential can help release equity.

BEST MOMENTS

"I stumbled on it actually by, I wouldn't say accident, but I had a light bulb moment."

"What if I had 10 of these? Essentially, I wouldn't need to actually work."

"The focus has always been to leave as little money as possible so that you can build a portfolio with the same pot of cash."

"We are picking up a lot of commercial or semi or mixed-use properties."

"We're looking for like infinite yields. I mean, obviously, these are the deals whereby you put all your money out and you have nothing invested and they are fully mortgaged."

ABOUT THE GUEST

Andy Tully

I am a cryptopreneur

I have made my fortune by buying and selling cryptocurrency and it’s what I currently do full time to this day. I’m super passionate about crypto as it has given me the freedom to be able to do what I want, when I want, with whoever I want.

Now my mission is to try and get as many people enjoying crypto as much as I do. So I teach total beginners how to start investing into crypto to give them a solid portfolio and investment plan. I teach people that already know about crypto how to streamline their portfolios so they are able to get a steady income stream. I also run an investment fund as not everyone has time to learn so I invest for them.

I wasn’t always a cryptopreneur. I used to be an electrician and had my own electrical contracting company. For about 20 years I’ve been trading the financial markets as a hobby/side hustle this was used to pay for my holidays, renovations, etc

I became aware of crypto in 2015 and purchased my first Bitcoin in 2016 but didn’t really think it was something that would stick around but I have always dabbled in it and kept an eye on it as it started to get more and more mainstream.

March 2020 came and Bitcoin was about $4k. Covid 19 was here and we were all in lock down, this is when I really hit it full time. I had temporarily closed my electrical company and just did crypto, this is when I started teaching people over zoom and how to get in and trade crypto.

So at the moment my son runs my electrical business and I just eat, sleep and breathe crypto and I am truly living the dream.

ABOUT THE GUEST

Julie Hogbin

I have worked with Leadership and Management teams in the Public and Private sectors for over two decades, more recently with Entrepreneurs building their own business & consistently with people who want to change their lives. I was awarded a prize by the last Partnership I worked with for being Inspirational and a role model – a brilliant moment for my memories.

I am truly passionate about creating and supporting Leaders. That includes you the individual, Teams and Business that walk the talk, that are congruent and authentic. I will only work with those who truly desire to build and enhance their own credibility and skill set.

In the day of ‘now’ those who think that the skills of ‘yesteryear’ will suffice will find out differently, all of us, including me, need to continuously develop to keep up in a fast-changing world or we will fade by the wayside.

It has never been so important to change and adopt new ways of, not only working but thinking and behaving as well. I do what I say so I have my own development plan, Coaches & Mentors – some paid & some not

The rest of the website will provide you with far more information about what I do and I only do what I am passionate about – I personally can’t see the point of wasting time on ‘stuff’ that does not inspire me

In July 2011 I made the decision to do something different and being one who enjoys change I set off on a journey which has included Forex Trading, Internet Marketing, Multi-Level Marketing finally resting with Property Investing to compliment my Mentoring, Coaching & Training to create my own Financial Freedom. The journey to date has been exciting and rewarding resulting in me publishing an article, appearing on a SKY Channel, speaking from stage plus lots more

He also shares the tactics that when implemented mean you can achieve high levels of discipline across all your daily routines and ultimately more freedom

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Freedom comes from discipline the more disciplined you become the more freedom you will have
• Waking before dawn doing a workout and completing the least desirable tasks first will create more discipline throughout the day
• As soon as weaknesses arise get angry at them
• Radio silence mode is about always having a plan that is understood well enough to be completed in silence doing what you need to do
• When you get into the habit of laughing
• Silence can help you concentrate fully on successfully completing detailed tasks
• Laughing at challenges makes them less powerful and when you make this a habit and discipline it makes it easier to move forward
