  • The Journey to Living the Dream - The Holly Jennings Way
    Alex welcomes property investor Holly, who shares her inspiring journey from humble beginnings to living the life of her dreams. Holly discusses the challenges she faced while building her property portfolio, including overcoming debt and finding investors, as well as the importance of mindset in achieving success. She reflects on her experiences with various property strategies, the significance of choosing the right location, and the value of community and personal development. Listeners will gain insights into Holly's mindset transformation, her approach to leveraging systems in business, and her plans for the future, including her passion for travel and continuous growth. This episode is packed with motivational nuggets for anyone looking to realise their potential and achieve financial freedom. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mindset is Crucial for Success: A positive mindset and continuous personal development through reading and learning are essential for overcoming challenges and achieving goals. Engaging with mindset literature can help shift perspectives and foster resilience. Embrace Challenges as Learning Opportunities: Facing difficulties, such as financial struggles or setbacks in property investments, can serve as powerful motivators. These challenges often lead to growth and a deeper understanding of the business. Choose Your Environment Wisely: Selecting a property investment area that resonates personally can enhance the overall experience. Enjoying the community and environment can make the hard work more fulfilling and sustainable. Leverage Systems and Technology: Implementing effective systems, such as a CRM for property management, can streamline operations and free up time for other pursuits, allowing for a more balanced lifestyle. Freedom Over Materialism: The ultimate goal of financial success should focus on achieving freedom and the ability to make choices, rather than merely accumulating material possessions. This shift in perspective can lead to a more meaningful and satisfying life. BEST MOMENTS "Back then, it was always just having that freedom. I know it's a bit cliche, but that time freedom..." "I think the biggest thing that actually kept us going was kind of that pressure, our backs were against the wall in the sense of money." "I genuinely thought... property will always be a business. It will never, ever, ever be completely passive." "It's not just about property. It's not just about making money. It's not about work. It's about what feels right, too." ABOUT THE GUEST Holly is originally from Plymouth and now lives in Sheffield. She has held various management positions in private and listed organisations, and has also worked independently with start-ups and growing businesses providing business growth consultancy.

  • Book Summary: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F by Mark Manson - PART 2
    In this episode, Alex delves into the profound themes presented in Mark Manson's book, exploring the uncomfortable truth of life: the inevitability of death and the fleeting nature of our significance. He emphasises the importance of hope as a driving force against hopelessness, which can lead to depression and anxiety. Alex discusses the emotional roots of self-control, highlighting the interplay between our thinking and feeling brains. KEY TAKEAWAYS Hopelessness is identified as a root cause of depression and anxiety, stemming from the feeling of being out of control in one's life. It is essential to recognize that while pain is inevitable, suffering is a choice. Hope is fundamental to our psychology, providing a sense of purpose and the belief that we can achieve something great. It is crucial to have something to look forward to and to feel a sense of control over our destiny. Self-control is primarily an emotional issue rather than a logical one. The feeling brain often drives our decisions, and aligning it with the thinking brain is key to achieving better self-control and overcoming feelings of hopelessness. True freedom comes from self-limitation, which involves making conscious choices about what to give up in life. The most meaningful freedom arises from the commitments we choose to sacrifice for our goals. Achieving harmony between the thinking brain and the feeling brain is essential for personal growth. When both are aligned with the same values, individuals can navigate life's challenges more effectively and reduce suffering. BEST MOMENTS "One day, you and everyone you love will die. And beyond a small group of people for an extremely brief period of time, little of what you say or do will ever matter." "Hope is what makes us happy. It's what makes us progress forward." "Pain is inevitable, but suffering is always a choice." "The only true form of freedom is through self-limitation." "Your life is not hopeless. Your life is not meaningless unless you subscribe to a belief that pain is inevitable."

  • Book Summary Everything is F'd - A Book About HOPE by Mark Manson
    In this episode of the Business, Wealth & Mindset Podcast, host Alex delves into Mark Manson's thought-provoking book, "Everything is F'd." The discussion explores the concept of hope and its significance in a seemingly meaningless existence. Through compelling examples, including the stories of Witold Pilecki, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Albert Einstein, the episode highlights the importance of hope in overcoming despair and finding meaning in our lives. Listeners are encouraged to engage with their pain, embrace discomfort, and cultivate a hopeful outlook for a better future. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Uncomfortable Truth: Hope is essential for finding meaning in a seemingly meaningless existence. Acknowledging the insignificance of our lives can lead to building a sustainable and benevolent sense of hope. The Classic Assumption: The belief that reason should dominate our desires is flawed. Both the thinking brain and feeling brain are necessary for effective decision-making, and understanding our emotions is crucial for self-control and hope. Newton's Laws of Emotion: Emotions have their own laws, such as the idea that every action has an emotional reaction. Our self-worth is shaped by our experiences over time, and our identities can be challenged by new experiences. The Importance of Narratives: The stories we tell ourselves shape our identities and values. It's vital to ensure these narratives are constructive and foster hope rather than anxiety or nihilism. Pain as a Universal Constant: Instead of pursuing happiness, we should accept that pain is a part of life. Embracing pain can lead to growth and finding meaning, as hope is rooted in our ability to navigate through life's challenges. BEST MOMENTS "Though Manson humorously expands on it by writing that if he were a barista at Starbucks, he would happily write the following message on every customer's morning coffee: One day, you and everyone you love will die." "Hopelessness is the root of anxiety, mental illness, and depression. It is the source of all misery and the cause of all addiction." "The only true meaning in existence is the ability to form meaning." "We are inconsequential cosmic dust, bumping and milling around on a tiny blue speck. We imagine our own importance. We invent our purpose. We are nothing." "The only true form of freedom, the only ethical form of freedom is through self-limitation."

  • Book summary: The Subtle art of not giving a F*** by Mark Manson - PART 1
    Alex gives a comprehensive summary of Mark Manson's transformative book, "The Subtle Art of Not Giving an F." The discussion challenges conventional wisdom by emphasising the importance of embracing life's struggles and negative experiences as essential components of personal growth. Listeners are introduced to key concepts such as the "not giving a damn" philosophy, the value of suffering, and the significance of taking responsibility for one's actions. The episode encourages a shift in perspective, advocating for the rejection of entitlement and the importance of setting boundaries while also highlighting the liberating power of saying no. With insights on navigating uncertainty, the role of failure, and the motivation derived from the awareness of death, this episode serves as a thought-provoking guide to living a more intentional and fulfilling life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Selective Caring: We have a limited amount of energy and attention, represented as "golden coins." It's essential to be selective about where we invest our care and concern, focusing on what truly matters rather than getting bogged down by trivial issues. Embracing Negative Experiences: Life's lows and challenges are not just obstacles; they are vital for personal growth. Embracing these tough moments can lead to resilience and a deeper understanding of ourselves. Rejection of Entitlement: Success, love, and respect are earned, not given. Moving away from an entitlement mindset encourages personal responsibility and the understanding that we must actively work towards our goals. Importance of Boundaries: Setting clear boundaries is crucial for maintaining healthy relationships and self-respect. Boundaries help define what is acceptable and protect our well-being. Failure as a Stepping Stone: Failure should be viewed as a necessary part of the growth process. Each failure provides valuable lessons and insights, pushing us to try new approaches and build resilience. BEST MOMENTS "It's about being selective with your coins. It doesn't mean you don't care about anything; instead, you're choosing what to care about."  "When you embrace the tough times, you are saying yes to the whole spectrum. You're becoming adaptable, you're becoming resilient."  "Failure is actually a stepping stone, not a stumbling block. It's a part of the process of moving forward, not backwards." "Saying no is crucial. It's how you set boundaries, how you protect your time, and stay true to your priorities."  "Rejection of entitlement is about getting rid of the idea that you deserve something just because you are who you are."  ABOUT THE HOSTAlex is a prize-winning chartered accountant with experience in financial markets from trading finance, capital hedging, structural foreign exchange, and interest rates to operational risk from the world’s top financial and advisory institutions including Deloitte, RBS, and JPMorgan ChaseAlex has been involved in property development programmes across different types since 2008, building and managing a portfolio that includes standard buy-to-lets, student accommodation and other houses in multiple occupancy (HMOs).He specialises in raising finance, providing potential investors, investors, and joint venture partners with ad hoc (to their specific requirements), hands-free and hassle-free property investments solutions as well as coaching and mentoringAlex aspires to share business and financial knowledge with upcoming entrepreneurs and experienced business minds to learn and master the concepts and mindsets required to succeed, stand-out, have the edge and make a difference.Alex is also a keen traveller, cyclist, and photographer.

  • Book Summary: Million Dollar Weekend by Noah Kagan
    Alex delves into the transformative concepts from Noah Kagan's book, "Million Dollar Weekend." The episode outlines a practical approach for aspiring entrepreneurs to kickstart their business ideas over a weekend by identifying and validating profitable problems. Listeners are guided through a structured process of discovering personal and market pain points, filtering potential business ideas, and ultimately executing a 48-hour challenge to pre-sell solutions. With actionable steps and real-world examples, this episode equips entrepreneurs with the tools to overcome common obstacles, attract customers, and lay the groundwork for a successful business venture. Tune in to learn how to transition from idea to action and validate your entrepreneurial aspirations! KEY TAKEAWAYS Identify a Million-Dollar Problem: Successful entrepreneurs focus on discovering and solving significant problems. Start by examining personal frustrations, then expand to your social circle and businesses you know to uncover potential profitable issues. Use a Four-Step Filtering Process: After gathering a list of problems, filter them by selecting the top five, checking their demand on Google Trends, assessing market size through Facebook Ads, and ensuring you can identify at least ten potential customers for your top-ranked problem. Conduct a 48-Hour Challenge: The goal is to pre-sell a solution to three customers within 48 hours. This involves crafting an irresistible offer and actively seeking out customers willing to pay upfront for your solution. Craft an Irresistible Offer: In the first 24 hours, create a compelling offer that you are confident you can fulfill. Consider simplifying or personalizing existing solutions to make them more appealing to your target audience. Work Your Ask Muscle: In the final 24 hours, reach out to your potential customers to pre-sell your solution. Use a clear pricing structure that highlights the benefits and timeframe, and be open to feedback to refine your offer. BEST MOMENTS "The beauty of Noah's million-dollar weekend method and his 48-hour challenge is that it helps you quickly test and validate business ideas so you don't have to waste months perfecting a product that doesn't sell."  "The best entrepreneurs are problem seekers. They are obsessed with understanding customers' problems and aim to alleviate their pain with painkiller products and services."  "If you can help one business get more customers or reduce a big expense, they will happily pay you." "When people merely say they will buy your product but don't hand over money, they're delivering you a polite rejection."    ABOUT THE HOSTAlex is a prize-winning chartered accountant with experience in financial markets from trading finance, capital hedging, structural foreign exchange, and interest rates to operational risk from the world’s top financial and advisory institutions including Deloitte, RBS, and JPMorgan ChaseAlex has been involved in property development programmes across different types since 2008, building and managing a portfolio that includes standard buy-to-lets, student accommodation and other houses in multiple occupancy (HMOs).He specialises in raising finance, providing potential investors, investors, and joint venture partners with ad hoc (to their specific requirements), hands-free and hassle-free property investments solutions as well as coaching and mentoringAlex aspires to share business and financial knowledge with upcoming entrepreneurs and experienced business minds to learn and master the concepts and mindsets required to succeed, stand-out, have the edge and make a difference.Alex is also a keen traveller, cyclist, and photographer.
