    #019 John Howard on Dealing with Pressure, Failure & Staying Mentally Sharp in Property
    May 22 2025

    In this episode, Emma sits down with John Howard, one of the UK's most experienced property consultants with over four decades in the industry. They delve into the importance of mindset in property investment, discussing how caution and dogged determination have fuelled John's success through various market cycles. John shares insights from his extensive experience, including the significance of relationships in property dealings, the necessity of anticipating challenges, and the value of being adaptable in a changing market.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • A successful property investor should maintain a mindset of caution while also demonstrating dogged determination. This involves being aware of potential risks and consistently seeking opportunities to make money.

    • Building and maintaining strong relationships in the property industry is crucial. Networking with agents, investors, and other professionals can lead to valuable opportunities and insights that may not be available through data alone.

    • Every property deal will come with its own set of challenges. Anticipating these problems and having a plan to address them is essential for success in property investment.

    • There are numerous ways to make money in property, and it's important to remain adaptable. Investors should be open to exploring different strategies, such as buying distressed properties or utilising government grants, rather than sticking to a single approach.

    • While formal education can be beneficial, hard work and a proactive attitude are often more important for success in property investment. Individuals who are willing to put in the effort and learn from experience tend to thrive in the industry.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "You always need to have an out before you have an in. And you always need to de-risk deals before you end up signing on the dotted line to buy them."

    "I think the fear initially in the way of making a living and having success, if you're an entrepreneur, you're an entrepreneur. It's a natural process."

    "To get the answer, ask the question. What's the worst scenario? What's the best scenario?"

    "You do need to hang your hat on something, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be open to other ideas."

    "If you get in on one thing, now the same people may offer you another, and another, and another."

    What Oprah, Churchill & a Stickman Taught Me About Property Success
    May 15 2025

    In this episode, Emma delves into the transformative power of responsibility in achieving property success. She emphasises that taking ownership of our actions and decisions is crucial for personal growth and overcoming challenges in the property investment journey. Drawing on insights from her own experiences and powerful quotes, including one from Oprah Winfrey, Emma highlights the detrimental effects of blame and the importance of shifting our mindset.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Taking ownership of your actions and decisions is crucial for achieving property success. Blaming others only leads to feelings of helplessness and missed opportunities.

    • A strong mindset is as important as a solid strategy in property investing. How you think about challenges can significantly impact your results.

    • Your reactions to situations can create positive or negative ripples in your life. Choosing to respond constructively can lead to better outcomes and opportunities.

    • Regularly reflect on your experiences, both positive and negative. Understanding how you can change your responses will help you grow and avoid repeating past mistakes.

    • Your thoughts influence your feelings, which in turn dictate your actions. By changing your mindset, you can alter your feelings and actions, ultimately leading to different results in your property journey.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "You are responsible for your life. You can't keep blaming others for your dysfunction."

    "If we don't take control, we're basically just giving away our control, our power, and it makes us feel really helpless."

    "The more we are in a state of blame, we're not even noticing the huge number of opportunities that are coming right past us."

    "Responsibility is the price of greatness."

    "Taking that responsibility for everything that happens to you, the more we start to take that responsibility, your world will completely change."

  • Creative Funding & Big Mindset Shifts: Secrets from 30 Years in Property

    Creative Funding & Big Mindset Shifts: Secrets from 30 Years in Property
    May 8 2025
    In this inspiring episode of the Property Mindset Podcast, Emma welcomes seasoned property investor and mentor Sunil Popat, who shares his remarkable journey through the property industry over the past 30 years. From his beginnings as a buy-to-let landlord to his ventures in property development and creative funding strategies, Sunil emphasises the importance of mindset and building relationships in achieving success. He discusses the challenges and triumphs he has faced, including navigating changes in the market and the impact of government regulations. KEY TAKEAWAYS Success in property is not solely about financial gains; it's about the mindset and personal growth that comes from the journey. Emphasising relationships and personal development can lead to better decision-making in property investments. The property market is constantly changing, and being adaptable is crucial. Embracing new strategies, such as social media marketing and creative funding options, can help navigate these changes effectively. Building a supportive community within the property industry is essential. Sharing knowledge and experiences with others can foster collaboration and lead to collective success, rather than viewing others solely as competitors. Exploring alternative funding sources, such as government schemes for empty homes, can provide significant financial advantages. Understanding and utilising these options can help mitigate risks and enhance investment potential. Maintaining a long-term perspective is vital in property investment. Focusing on core business strategies, such as buy-to-let properties, while also exploring development opportunities can create a balanced and sustainable portfolio. BEST MOMENTS "It's not about the deal, it's about working with people. Over a period of time, I've realised that more, and it's good because you don't have to go into every deal if it's not right with the people." "I think a lot of people who have multiple businesses do find that where their focus is and where it's important to focus." "There are some people who, like for me, my family just had no idea and have a totally different thought process around property." "The biggest impact on most property businesses has been the introduction of Section 24 of the Finance Act, introduction of new laws, taxes, and us having to provide more information to the government." "It's the mindset and the person you become. Because of the person that you become, then you just handle every problem that comes along."

  • #016 Victim or Victor? The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything in Property

    #016 Victim or Victor? The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything in Property
    May 1 2025

    Today, Emma delves into the critical distinction between a victim and a victor mindset in property investing. She explores how mindset shapes our responses to challenges and obstacles, emphasising that successful investors often face more difficulties but handle them differently. Emma encourages listeners to take responsibility for their outcomes, reframe setbacks as learning opportunities, and adopt a solution-focused approach.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Success in property investment is largely influenced by mindset. A positive mindset can help investors navigate challenges and setbacks more effectively than those who adopt a victim mentality.

    • A victim mindset blames external factors for failures and challenges, leading to stagnation and frustration. In contrast, a victor mindset takes responsibility for outcomes, learns from challenges, and focuses on solutions.

    • It's essential to reframe setbacks as learning opportunities. Instead of blaming others, investors should ask themselves what they can learn from the situation and how they can improve in the future.

    • Building a strong network of successful individuals can provide valuable lessons and support. Engaging with those who have faced similar challenges can help investors overcome obstacles more quickly.

    • Maintaining a gratitude journal can shift focus from problems to positive aspects of life and business. Recognising and appreciating what is going well can change one's perspective and enhance overall well-being.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Your mindset really shapes everything that happens to you."

    "A victim mindset is very much blaming external factors. It's nothing to do with you because they are external circumstances."

    "Taking responsibility does not mean, oh, it's all my fault. It's about having that control and being able to grow."

    "Let's be solution finders, not problem creators."

    "Property success is not just about what you do, it really is about how you think."

    In this episode, Emma looks at the transformative concept of the ripple effect and its profound impact on your property journey. She considers the importance of taking responsibility for every decision and action, illustrating how even seemingly minor choices can create far-reaching consequences.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Every action, no matter how small, creates a ripple effect that can significantly impact your property journey. It's essential to consider how your decisions and interactions can influence your future opportunities and relationships.

    • Embracing responsibility for your actions is crucial. It empowers you to take control of your outcomes, learn from mistakes, and avoid repeating them. Blaming others diminishes your power to effect change.
