| 29 Feb 2024 | What I Learned on the Way to £40 Million | 00:38:30 | |
Mark Homer reflects on his 20-year journey to becoming a multi-million-pound property CEO. Hear how he started with naive investments abroad, learned difficult lessons, and shifted his strategy to focus on local houses with strong cashflows. Mark explains his role as a "conductor" in assembling teams for each project, shares current real estate trends, and advises aspiring investors.
BEST MOMENTS "So lots of investors are having to offload because of section 24." “I watched them make loads of money in a very short space of time. At the time, I had a friend who maybe bought something like 97, and within two or three years he’d made about 60 grand’s worth of equity." "I made a very, very poor investment. So I learned very, very quickly not to trust those who have a vested interest in selling me the property and to go out and do genuinely independent research to find out what something will actually rent for." "When I started in this sector, I was very much focused on capital growth. Capital growth is sexier to a lot of people. That’s probably, in reality, truthfully, where you make most of your money over the long run." "I also noticed on a much bigger scale that the wealthiest people in the country seemed to have made or had seemed to have invested their money into property. If you have a look down the rich list, the Sunday Times rich list that comes out every year, a lot of those were making their money from property."

| 08 May 2019 | The Quickest Way to Get Started in Property | 00:29:47 | |
Would you like to network with 12,000 like-minded property investors? Learn from some of the most experienced, and successful property entrepreneurs in the world? Then the 10x Superconference is for you. Kevin Mcdonnell, the host of Progressive Property Podcast, interviews Mark Homer. Listen in as Mark talks about being one of the speakers at this year's conference, which is all but sold out. Mark also talks about his journey into property, what are the best strategies at the moment and what he’s going to be talking about in his presentation at the conference.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Most of my time is spent doing property deals, running our property business. I’ve bought, sold and refurbished over 800 properties. At the moment I'm doing a lot of commercial conversions into residency. I help oversee our letting agency and the numbers for the business.
Why property? It’s all about the returns. When you’re talking about property things start and finish with return on capital invested. There are lots of leverage you can get on one single let, compared with other investment types. I’m doing more and more, larger buildings where you can get a return of 25-30% back on a property. Not many other investments would give the same returns as property.
I started with small terrace houses. I was buying, refurbishing, and building up my portfolio. I graduated into bigger buildings, and HMO’s. It’s been a fifteen-year journey for me where I’ve ended up doing more and more commercial conversions from pubs and empty buildings.
What's your preferred strategy? This is very much based on things that are of their time. I’ve recently gradually started doing more and more commercial conversions around putting a retailer on the ground floor and converting the higher floors into flats for example. Often the projects I do are opportunity-led and of its time.
Whose has been your inspiration? In terms of residential and property, I would say Andreas Panayiotou. I think he ended up owning thousands of properties in London over the years. In terms of investors, I do think Warren Buffet is great. I love his long-term attitude to investing and he compounds his returns.
Why do you think you should attend the Superconference? I’ve moved on in my journey because I’ve learnt from other people. I’ve learnt how to do the tax, contractors and others. At this conference, there will be 12,000 other property investors in the room and the speakers. Grant Cardone portfolio is nearly a billion dollars. We are all doing different things.
What are you going to be talking about at the Superconference? Lots of things are changing in our economy at the moment and I'm going to be talking about how we can take advantage of the uncertainty. I’m going to go through a couple of case studies which I’m working on at the moment.
Is there 'one' really exciting thing about the Super-conference? In terms of finding the right commercial buildings, finding the right partners and finance. I think people will hopefully get a lot of interesting different things. There will be a lot of different mindset of things there with Grant Cardone. I’ll be speaking and learning about different strategies.
Top three benefits of attending the Super-conference? Property starts and finishes with income, and cash flow, replacing that income. Networking with other people and are like-minded. How inspiration is it to have all these speakers who are coming,
What has property done to 10x your life? 10x is different to me than for others. For me, it’s around commitment but growing in stages and making mistakes at the right level. As soon as you know everything and you have the right data it's vital to scale up. If you know it works you need to make sure that you scale it up to make it work.
BEST MOMENTS ‘Most of my time is spent doing property deals.’ ‘The returns are really good.’ ‘The stock market is harder to get right.’ ‘I like turning older properties that haven’t got use into residential properties.’ ‘Often the best time is now to get into property.’ ‘Don’t extend yourself at the minute as we are in the second half of the cycle.’ ‘Warren Buffet has been a big inspiration for me. He reads for hours everyday.’ ‘The experience and knowledge is deep in lots of different niches.’ ‘There are lots of different options even if you don’t have any money.’ ‘I met lifelong friends at the last conference.’ ‘Always invest locally.’ ‘Try and avoid scattergun approach.’ ‘Try and find the best letting agent.’ ‘If you go to a new town you have to learn everything all over again.’ ‘You can make millions of pounds in one deal.’ ‘If you don’t know the detail, and start from the bottom you can lose out.’ ‘Everyone is always learning.’ ‘The inspiration you will get from all these people.’ ‘You have to work hard and work smart.’ ‘Get into your niche and be the best at whatever that is.’ ‘I’ve moved on in my property journey by learning from others.’

| 06 Dec 2018 | Money Saving Tips | 00:20:43 | |
Welcome back to another episode of the Mark My Words podcast with your host Mark Homer. In this episode, Mark goes through his top tips for saving money in your life and business. Mark goes through several areas on how you can save thousands of pounds every year in your life, and business from car insurance, to utilities and saving accounts. Key Takeaways Personal Car Insurance. Make sure that six weeks before your renewal date you search around for cheaper options for insurance. The whole industry is predicated on making a profit from customers who are loyal and don’t change provider every year. Looking at the below four comparison sites every year can save you hundreds of pounds in the cost of your car insurance.
Fleet Car Insurance. Try and go to a number of different brokers and play them off against each other, every year so that you can save money on your fleet insurance. This is the best way as there are no business compare websites for fleet insurance. Home Insurance. Make sure you go onto a number of comparison websites every year which can ensure that you are saving hundreds of pounds on your policy. Some of the best websites are the below:
Keeping your claims down in the last five years to under one can help to keep your premiums down. Brokers are useful in gaining portfolio insurance for a large number of properties. At the end of each year get a quotation for each of your brokers to see if there are cheaper options. Utilities. Make sure that you are changing these every year, which has got a lot easier in recent years. Please do subscribe to the Cheap Energy Club, at the link below, which lets you know when there is a product that is cheaper than what you are already paying. Changing from the standard rate which energy companies automatically place you on, to an offer rate can save you hundreds of pounds. Saving Accounts. Try and change this account every April as this is the start of the personal tax year. I want to make sure that I’m getting the highest savings rate. Please check Moneyfax.co.uk which can offer you the best deals for savings accounts. There are always some good instant access accounts on the list for you to have a look at. There is a new Goldman Accounts called Marcus which has a good interest rate on it, for 12 months. Rates drop down after the first year so it’s really important to switch every year. Mobile Phone Contract. Every year you are paying the subscription to a mobile company, so at the end of the contract make sure you get your upgrade on your phone, as you are paying for this through your contract. It’s best to use a price comparison site so that you can find the best tariff on the market.
Buying In Bulk In January. Use the January sales, and buy two years worth of supply for shampoo, toilet roll, kitchen roll, those essential non-perishable items for your house. Then I’d store this under the house, which means you save lots of money and you don’t have to go shopping for these items throughout the year. Make sure you’re not loyal to a brand but you’re looking for the offers out there. Contract Hire On Your Car. Make sure you are going for the offers that are available rather than the brand or model of car. This can be a really effective way of saving money. The below websites are the best websites that Mark has used to get the best deals. If you would like Marks spreadsheet which compares these offers please email him, his details are at the bottom of the show notes.
Best Moments ‘Make you have BS3642 locks on your doors and key locks on your ground floor windows.’ ‘Definitely look at changing your mobile tariff, utilities and car insurance to save hundreds of pounds’ ‘Make sure you’re not loyal to a brand but you’re looking for the offers.

| 07 Nov 2019 | How to Fly First Class For Free | 00:50:19 | |
Do you want to fly first class around the world and stay in 5-star hotels for next to nothing? In an insightful interview with fellow frequent flyer Mark interviews professional Avios point collector, savvy travellor and property developer Ian Walmsley. Mark and Ian share with you the tips and tricks to collecting travel points, the best cards to use and how to collect a number of rewards simply by knowing which cards and services to use. Take a trip into Mark and Ian’s wallets and hear first hand which cards they use to travel first class around the world. KEY TAKEAWAYS
Where are you redeeming the most points? For earning for points I will use the American Express Platinum card. The annual rate is £575 per year but you will earn that back during the year. This card earns you 1 membership point per pound spent which can be exchanged for flights on BA, Virgin Miles and a range of hotels, you also get travel insurance around the globe and premium car hire insurance. For every pound that you spend on the American Express card transfers to 1.5 Hilton points and additionally and for every 5 nights that you stay gives you get one night free.
Where do you pick up the tips and tricks? I pick up a lot of information from blogs and sites and quite often read non-English blogs to pick up some great deals. It’s also worth setting up Google alerts to notify you when certain sites post offers and deals.
British Airways Platinum Plus Card Only generates British Airways points at 1.5 Avios points per pound spent. The biggest benefit of this card is that when you spend £10,000 per year you get a companion voucher each year which allows you to get 2-4-1 on travel fair. If you and your partner both have these cards and spend regularly you can get two companion vouchers meaning you will get 4 return flights for the price of 2 in business or first class. For long-term spending, this is the best card you can get.
The Curve Card Where credit cards are not accepted you can use the Curve card and re-charge those payments to a visa or MasterCard. You will also pay zero foreign exchange fees while abroad.

| 19 Dec 2019 | 'Cash is NOT Trash' Feat Business Partner Rob Moore | 00:39:17 | |
Tune in to hear the behind the scenes TV Q&A with Progressive Property Co-founder, Rob Moore. Listen in and learn all about Mark & Rob’s property journey from their first investment to growing one of the largest property investment companies and education businesses in the UK. If you’re looking to discover more about the traits of the greats and the characteristics of these two Property, business and entrepreneurial experts, this episode is for you.
What was the first property you purchase? Mark: The first property I bought was a flat in a ski resort in Bulgaria off-plan and I lost 60-70% of the purchase price. After this, I bought a property in Hampton and flipped it when the price was right making roughly 15K but I could have made more had I not purchased a new build. Often the worst looking properties yield the highest returns. Rob: 26 Eyeroad, and I still own it today. My Dad helped me out with the deposit and when I become financially free I gave it back to them and they still live there today, mortgage-free.
What is your work ethic? Rob: I have a fear-based work ethic and believe you have to ‘make hay while the sun shines’ because there are always bad times around the corner and you can be blind-sided easily. I want to take advantage and grow while we can and set ourselves up into a position where we can thrive even if we’re not earning Mark: My work ethic comes in waves depending on what’s going on. There are times where it can be intensive for long periods of time and my job isn’t the same every day as I’m generally solving problems and issues day by day as they come along. I’ve tried to build most of what I do with an automatic degree of leverage.
What milestone are you most proud of? Rob: Winning business of the year 2016, breaking the public speaking world records and raising the hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity and each time Mark and I have reached 50, 100, 150 properties or certain levels of income and bringing our letting agency inhouse are nice milestones also. I couldn’t pick one as I believe we still have lots to come. Mark: For me getting the Guinness world records and publishing our first books with international publisher Hatchet, we’ve also had the Independent, Financial Times and the Guardian write news articles on us. Additionally developing the new bigger building is a great milestone, right now it’s the old Marks & Spencers building where we’re building 99 apartments. Also some of the training programmes we’ve run in the Carribean, the super conference and having guests such as Lord Sugar, Bob Geldof, Grant Cardone etc.
Describe your property portfolio? Mark: Our portfolio is broken up into different constituents and it depends where you are in the timeline to evaluate it. Our investing timeline is fairly linear so if you look at the terraced houses it’s often the ones we’ve purchased in the beginning and from there multi-lets, HMO’s and houses and subsequently into commercial conversion buildings and the scale has grown over time. Rob: Our portfolio has been a journey and generally we’ve reacted to the market and jump on opportunities for example with permitted development etc. We’ve always tried to buy property locally and never selling a property as long as it works and we have kept 95% of our portfolio.
What do you do on an average day? Rob: I get up at about 5 and get all of my important stuff done by 8, I’ll then go to the gym and when I can I’ll come into the office with meetings in the morning. We often travel to do the podcast and I’m also trying to add more fun things in my life. My average day is routined but I like to keep a variety. Mark: I get up at 7 and crack on at home and often come into the office later but stay until around 6. I’m also away at onsite developments.
What’s the biggest risk you’ve taken in property? Mark: Property wise it’s probably the commercial development of 99 apartments we’re doing at the moment. GDV is north of 20 million. Usually, when I’m borrowing money it’s first-charge only. There’s times when I’ve been worried about cashflow and liquidity but we like to stockpile cash. Rob: We haven’t taken too many risks and I’d be embarrassed and ashamed if we went bust and I’m not prepared to do it so we take fewer risks and think long-term.
What are your business plans for next year? Rob: We’re probably not going to buy a load more property projects but there will always be one block or so a year and in terms of the education business we’ve just merged everything under ‘Progressive’ and I want to grow it more in the coming year and take it to the global stage.
What’s your view on the right-to-buy scheme? Mark: Right to buy is something that Thatcher brought in and it’s been a good thing with loads of tenants having the opportunity to purchase their property from the council. It’s been great for quite a few people but those that have less financial knowledge have ended up re-mortgaging and their property has been repossessed. Maybe a right-to-buy scheme with enforced financial education would be even better.
What’s your lifestyle like? Mark: It’s different and varied depending on the time of year but I’ve got a few weekends back which is pretty cool and with 3 or 4 holidays a year it’s great. It’s all about spending time with my son and my wife. I also go to a lot of events and try to do things I’ve not done before. Rob: I really enjoy writing, creating content, writing books and connecting online. Golf with my son is also huge we’ve competed at multiple tournaments around the world but work and what I love are pretty much the same.

| 17 Jan 2019 | Economy & Property Market Update & Predictions For 2019 | 00:35:32 | |
January Is a great opportunity to reflect on the year ahead. It’s a perfect opportunity to redefine your objectives. We have an interesting financial backdrop at the minute which is changing. Amber warning lights are going off in the stock market and in today’s episode, Mark talks through the possible indicators that you should be looking out for, which might be able to guide your future actions. If you want to protect yourself and prosper in 2019 as well as the next five years, Marks investment advice is well worth your time. KEY TAKEAWAYS Asian, Uk and US stock markets have all dropped in the last few weeks. Some of the cleverest economists in the world don’t know as much as the inside of the stock market. The real economy is the growth, asset values, and jobs. The stock market looks ahead to a year or two years time. It’s not perfect, the timing can be off but it’s the best indicator we have. It’s more likely we are closer to the next recession. Since 2010 and we came out of the last recession, corporate non-financial debt grew to nearly 10 trillion, from 6 trillion. In the same period corporate earnings only grew by 60% of that number, 40% has been financed by debt, government debt. Trump is spending a lot on infrastructures, financed by debt not tax income. The stock market is flashing amber if it were a traffic light. There are issues in the system. The next five years isn’t going to as good as the last five years. The stock market is showing certain indicators of where the economy is going. Cyclical Stocks compared To Non Cyclical stocks. Cyclical stocks are ones that do well in the good times, like house builders who always do best when there are lots of jobs, and the economy is doing well. Those cyclical stocks are down across the board. The stock market is marking stocks down, as it expects theses will be impacted most by a downturn. Some companies do better in a recession. Letting agencies do better in a recession, as more people want to rent more than buying. They are a counter-cyclical stock, like pharmaceuticals whose stock is up over the last couple of months. The counter-cyclical do better in a downturn. The expectation is baked into the price of this stock. The Yield Curve. The US issues bonds and loans, which are called a Treasury. The UK government are called Guilds. You are then giving your money to the government for a set interest rate, at certain times in the year. The price of those bonds is set by the market but there is a fixed rate back to the investor. At the minute you are getting less interest for the longer you lock your money in. The treasury curve is inverted. When institutions are not as safe, then they will go and put that into more safe places like US and UK government bonds. The US and UK governments have never defaulted on their debt. This has meant the curve has been inverted. What is likely to happen? The stock market will have struggling returns over the next five years. This is all against a backdrop of high employment rate, wage growth and better economies. Generally, the real economies are growing well. These are lagging indicators, they lag what happens in terms of the market. What else is not going to do quite as well? Banks, anyone dealing in credit, and housebuilders. We are in the latter part of the cycle. I won’t be selling my properties in a recession and then buying them after. The cost of buying and selling such as the valuation, bank fees, solicitor fees is around 10-15%. You need to think about the staff time when you are buying and selling which is at least 5% of the price of the property. Then all the taxes on selling the property. This could cost you in the total of 20-30%. It’s the developers that have to sell their stock that always do the worst. Market moves shouldn’t affect you as much if you focus on rental income and on long term investments. If you can do smaller units, smaller houses which are more likely to be let and have higher yields you should be fine. If you focus outside of the capital it can be a safer strategy. It’s important to develop high-income generating properties. Maybe up to around 15%. You get a good cash-flow every month, and the banks like them as they look less risky. Focus on those bread and butter deals. It’s a good time to negotiate harder and use the negativity around to your advantage.
BEST MOMENTS ‘Amber warning lights are going off.’ ‘We probably are in the second half of the cycle.’ ‘40% has been financed by debt.’ ‘A bubble has effectively been created.’ ‘Is the bubble going to be a bang or release slowly.’ ‘Banks and construction always do well in the good times.’ ‘The counter-cyclical do better in a downturn.’ ‘The marker doesn’t expect things to better in the next few years.’ ‘We are in the 7th innings of a 9th innings cricket game.’ ‘You’ll have to time it perfectly and a 20-30% increase the other side of the recession to stand still.’ ‘Buying and holding properties is still a good idea.’ ‘It’s the developers that have to sell their stock always do the worst.’ ‘It’s important not to over-leverage.’ ‘It’s important to develop high-income generating properties.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
We are going into other countries and now looking to grow in Ireland. If we can take what we have here and move it into other countries we will be using a tried and tested business model.
The US is ahead of us in this raising cycle and Brexit is almost entirely responsible for the faster growth rate in the US. Brexit is a domestic issue, as part of the global community countries now go into recession at the same time. If we were not involved with Brexit we would be growing at the same rate as other countries.
The best defence against higher interest rates is to have a really good cash flowing portfolio, you can get fixed rates over a number of years, balancing the times when rates are higher. If interest rates are higher, the outlook for inflation is higher and the economy is probably moving forward strongly this, in turn, means the capital value of your properties is likely to be rising. The best way to deal with all things is to have plenty of cash around you.
Currently its around 6 out of 10. My attitude is to buy it convert it develop it, refurb it and try and get back as much money as I can. I don’t go beyond my purchase and refurbishment or development costs, I aim to get my money back and then hold the investment and let the loan to value drift down over time.
I think that’s a good idea, Keep your savings account away from the where you hold your current account and any bank you have a mortgage with. Fraud is now the biggest concern the banks are under siege and its vital to always have it at the forefront of your mind when you are contacted, who-ever you think it may be as the scams are very sophisticated.
The fact that you can control all elements, as happens in the manufacture of cars means the outcome is predictable and running a building site can be very challenging. The time on site is less and you get a much more precise predictable product so I think it will become big in the next few years.
You can purchase and download the title deed from the land registry this will provide the name and address for the owner or you can knock on the neighbour's door as they may know. Every council has an ‘empty homes officer’ who has a list of all empty houses and the owners. If owners do nothing and the property falls into disrepair the council will carry out repairs and make charges to the owner. After a period of time, the council is able to put the property to auction.

| 03 Jul 2019 | The Definitive Guide to Deep Due Diligence | 00:17:51 | |
How to Protect Yourself When Going Into a New JV Deal Are you looking into working with a JV partner on a deal? Have you wondered what you need to do to make sure you are doing the right due diligence to protect yourself? In this episode of Mark My Words, your host Mark Homer, brings you everything you need to know as you go into a JV deal. Whether it’s making sure you drip feed money into the deal or checking your JV partners credit history Mark lets you know each step of the process. If you are looking to loan money or make a deal with a JV partner this episode has all the information you need to get the deal that’s right for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Get your JV partner to download their credit file. Get them to provide a credit file for you to have a look at before you go into the deal. If someone has a really bad credit history then you might want to question why you are going into business with them. Just ask them to redact any personal information if they are concerned with this. The land registry can be useful to see who owns buildings. You can apply for a previous version of the register to see who owned the property in the past. If the building is owned by a limited company you can check on the companies house website. You can check the amount of debt or charges on a property at any given time, as well as who owns the company. Make sure to check for any liquidated companies and who is owed money. This might be a reason to ask more questions or not work with them on this deal. It’s important to drip feed the money into the deal not send it all at once. If you are doing a development, send the money when the works are complete. Have a look on site before you pay and transfer any money, to make sure it’s all complete to the right level. If the transfers were done personally rather than through a limited company then they won’t show on companies house so ask for the documentation separately. Ask for three investor details that they have done deals with before. Have a look at their last three deals and ask them if they are happy for you to contact them. Check these individuals in companies house and on the land registry. Ask them how the deals went. View the properties. Even if the property has been sold you can look through the windows. Start small with the person and then move onto bigger things. Some people say that they want to see as much information as they would show to a bank so in this case, they want to see some of these documents: SA302 which will show their income, a full property list of all the properties they own. For the highest degree of security when you’re lending money only lend on a first charge basis, and up to 70% loan to value. You must find your own solicitor, and own RIC surveyor. They must have good local knowledge of those kinds of properties. If you are going to provide a loan then you want a solicitor to create and execute this for you. Make sure you have a partnership or shareholder agreement that is written by your own solicitor. Do the numbers add up? Speak to a builder about the costs? Are all the costs in the development appraisal? Check with the bank so you can refinance it to the value that it says. Make sure you understand the deal behind the joint venture. Do a search on Amazon with regard to people delivering training? Do a search on Google and on LinkedIn? How much coverage/reach they have? Is their website information-rich? Can you contact these people? Can you find a long history of content? What do other people say about them? What support do they offer?
Best Moments ‘Ask them for their credit history.’ ‘I like to see a track record.’ ‘As the person to supply documentation.’ ‘Ask your accountant to help with this background work.’ ‘Control the money.’ ‘Ask for three investors details.’ ‘Go with your gut.’ ‘You need father time to show what this person is like.’ ‘Investors can misuse the information compared with a bank so be careful what you share.’ ‘Insist on a personal guarantee.’ ‘Ask for copies for historical planning permission.’ ‘If you don’t feel confident just walk away.’ ‘If you are looking at someone training then do your due diligence.’ ‘If the same things are coming from different people it’s more likely to be true.’ ‘Making sure you are going to get out of it what you need.’ ‘Be clear on your objectives.’ ‘Training is an investment.’ ‘Only listen to people who have real experience.’ ‘Be careful from free advice.’

To get financing, you have to prove to banks and lenders that you’re far from delinquent and can be trusted. So, in this episode of Mark My Words Podcast, Mark talks about how essential it is to build rapport with long-term lenders to get better terms with banks. He also suggests that you look for 2-3 commercial lenders. Though you’ve submitted the complete requirements and have an outstanding credit report, it also makes a difference if you have established a connection with the relationship manager since they already trust you and know that you meet the criteria.

MARK’S BIGGEST BUSINESS AND PROPERTY LESSONS In this episode, Mark takes us through the biggest lessons he has learnt as an entrepreneur investor. His experience and expertise provide an in-depth insight into the things that really make a difference in property investment, listen in to find out more. KEY TAKEAWAYS
Keeping property in the long term is always a better strategy. If you keep property over the long term and possibly convert it into flats to let or renovate, then you will generally generate more profit from the project. Over the longer term, this will create a build-up of money that will enable you to work less, freeing up your time to do other things.
Although we sometimes have to run ahead its best to not to expose yourself. If you pay builders up front they are less motivated to complete. Always hold a sizable amount for payment on completion to ensure all aspects are completed to the standard you require.
Lots of legislation changes, blips with the Stock Market and section 24 haven’t developed into recession and even in this scenario often it’s better to hold. If there is a drop, over the medium to long term the value will go back up again.
Often people like to brag about what they own. The prettier a property the more likely the yield will be lower and the greater the depreciation compared to less attractive buildings Doing what looks easiest and the most interesting to others can mean thinner or no profit at all.
The key to making money and business is to get really good at something, becoming better at it than your competition.
Most of the time the return within a fund is less than if you are investing yourself and adding value to the property as usually the return for cash on cash is in double figures.
If an investment is risky, a scam or unlikely to produce good results the people around the project often have questionable morals. You don’t necessarily need to understand an investment just look at the people who are around it.
People will pay for something they want rather than what they need. if you are developing a product it does need to solve problems and it does need to be something people need but you must make it something they desire above all else. Your spend on marketing and sales in your business should come first. If you don’t have marketing you don’t have a business.
If you are rejected let them see what you are doing, often it is just a matter of time. Be consistent and let them see you can be trusted.
Experiences and relationships are far more satisfying than things. Focus on things you can do these experiences will stay forever. BEST MOMENTS ‘It usually all works out’ ‘People often misevaluate’ ‘We are attracted to things that keep us safe’ ‘Make sure you are buying buildings that are throwing out value’ ‘You’re much better buying the old dirty buildings and adding value’ ‘Investments that shine usually don’t’ ‘The sizzle sells the steak’ VALUABLE RESOURCES https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/mark-my-words-podcast/id1165370399?mt=2 ABOUT THE HOST Mark Homer Mark Homer is an entrepreneur investor.
