I was happy sweeping up, getting coffee, then I learned more, and started to work up. I always knew Property was for me. After starting my portfolio, I knew It was time to go full time. That leap, is hard, I know that. Leaving a secure job, to follow your dream? Isn’t easy. But if you never try...you’ll never know.
If you've ever considered getting started in Property, I want to invite you to come meet me and my team IN-PERSON.
It's been 18 long months since we last ran a Property Jumpstart Live.

Let me tell you where I was at when I got started at 19...
I had no money to invest.
I had terrible credit.
I had no contacts within Property.
I had no knowledge of the industry.
I had zero experience of Property, except working on site.
What I did have...
The awareness that Property could provide me the escape to the life I so desperately wanted out of.
The knowledge that most of the top business people in the world, invest their money into Property.
The hunger and drive to succeed.
Unfortunately, there wasn't anything like Property Jumpstart available when I was starting out.
I had to learn the hard way, through unnecessary risks, mistakes, failures and a whole lot of pain.
I didn't want that for others looking to get started.
So I took everything that I learned over 12+ years in the game and created a simple, easy-to-follow path for others looking to get started.
That path is laid out at Property Jumpstart Live.
What we cover on the 1-Day Workshop...

Do yourself a service and go listen to it.
What do Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump have in common? Better yet, what do they have in common with you..?
We all have the same amount of hours in the day. All the differences between where you are and they are is down to how they use those hours. The secret?

We all have an incredible opportunity within our grasp right now.
Although our first instinct during a recession is to contract and shy away from the unknown, we must fight against this and recognise the possibilities open to us. All it takes is a change of perspective.

Property Flipping. Buy at a discount and sell for a profit.
But, the most important part is in the middle...
You SHOULD NOT buy a property...
If you can't add substantial value to it.
You WILL NOT get a profitable sale...
If you don't add substantial value to it.
So, how do we ensure a refurb is to a high standard?
What are some of the best ways to add value to a Property?
All it takes is a little observation and out of the box thinking...
With networking being an impossibility at the moment.
We all know where we need to step up...
In our social media efforts.
If you've not been active online...
Chances are...
Your business has been having a rough time recently.
Great thing is, once you begin making the effort...
The results usually come quickly.
Over the past 2 months...
I've been asked the same thing over and over...
"Paul, do you have an online course I can do at home?"
"Paul, I wanted to come to a live event, what do I do now?"
"Paul, how do I get started when I can't get to an event?"
I listened, and I'm delighted to announce...

Game sales have risen 40-60% since lockdown.
Waste of valuable time, or can we learn from gamers..?
Here's what gamers know about business that most entrepreneurs don't...
You need to level up in your personal capacity.
If you don't improve, moment to moment...
You don't get to the next level.
In gaming, the only way to level up is through...
- Constant and never-ending improvement.
- Relentless action.
- Unquestionable FOCUS.
- Tapping into support.
The attributes required to play at a high level in GAMING...
Are the same attributes you'll find in business.
At least among those smart enough to have applied them.
In this video, I talk about why gamifying your life might be the key to taking your business to the next level...
Want to get rich quick? Take your chances with the lottery.
If you want to build long term wealth...
You need to put in the work.
Here's the thing...
Say you find some get rich quick scheme that works.
You get a windfall of money.
- You've not developed your wealth mindset yet.
- You don't know how to make that money work for you.
- You dont have the experience in handling it well.
You'll lose the money as fast as you make it.
Building true wealth takes time, and hard work.
You'll only earn what you're ready to.
The experience you gain along the way...
Will ensure you keep it and grow.
World class entrepreneurs delegate 90% of their tasks.
They spend ALL of THEIR time....
On tasks that require their unique abilities.
It's easy to spend your time being busy.
What's hard is having the discipline of focus...
To ONLY do what you do BEST.
Time is your most valuable resource.
Here's some insights on how to use it well...
Often, my best clients are those who need it least. They win, for one specific reason; they DIDN'T try to get rich quick.
They take their time. They tick the boxes daily. They do the work. They make the right choices, and they pull the trigger.
Whereas the others, those who don't listen well, and burst out of the gates attempting to get rich quick in Property. They approach it with the wrong mindset. They look for what they can take, not give. They look for the quick buck. They jump from shiny object to shiny object.
Sad to see.
If you truly want to be successful in Property, let's start with getting your mindset in check...
Earlier this week I was invited to appear on the This Week In Property podcast to discuss recent events and how this affects property businesses.
Labeled a special 'emergency podcast' I was brought on as a special guest to discuss the current climate that we face as people, family members, business owners, and investors.
I hope this is of help to many of you out there with concerns.
Listen to this weeks episode to find out...
how the very real economic impacts from this health pandemic are NOT the actual global recession that I feel is still to come.
the lessons behind thinking of the 'economic tides' being out and being in, and how they relate to the state of our business.
how the key areas of Mindset and Due Diligence are what can help you thrive and survive in these times of uncertainty.
how the current Government stimulus packages are required in the short-term but also damaging for the long-term.
My inbox has been flooded with messages in the last week.
"Paul, what's the best thing to do right now..?"
The impact of Coronavirus on businesses in undeniable.
People are panicked, overwhelmed and frozen.
This is what will have the most detrimental effect on their business.
Rather than the dip itself.
I've addressed the concerns of many in this video.
Let's talk how to overcome the noise, take control, become stronger and ride the wave.
In today's episode, I've got Ellie McKay.
This is quite an exciting podcast...
Because I didn't even know it was going to be one.
Ellie and I jumped in the car to go to Starbucks and we just got chatting.
It was just too good not to record.
It turned into an opportunity to learn about the Ellie behind the scenes.
To learn about some of the unbelievable things she's building with her partner Mark.
To learn of the biggest wins and losses...
And the lessons learned from it.
We even go deep about raising a family and the impact of a positive driven mindset
There are a few other cheeky questions in there which I think you're going to enjoy and be entertained by.
Make sure to follow Ellie, she's an absolute superstar with the amazing work she's doing.
You are the problem in your property business. If you want it to grow, replace yourself, without ACTUALLY replacing yourself :)
As I've said before: If you want to grow, find someone further down the line. Someone with the knowledge you want. Take what you can from them, and apply. Until you are THAT person.
Then it's your responsibility to teach others. Bring people into your business. Give them your skills. Teach them what you know. Effectively replacing yourself...
So, you can focus on the bigger picture.
"Paul, how many hours should I set aside to build my property business?"
Great question from a viewer, but it's not the main question to be asked. What you need to ask yourself is: "What do I want to get out of this?" After all, you only get out what you put in.
In today's podcast, we'll talk about how you use the time you have to work on your Property business is more important than the hours you put in, and where your focus should be if you want it to be a success.
There's a part of you that is killing your business.
Reflecting on my career...
The times when I've not been performing at my best...
When the doubt creeps in...
When I question myself...
When my life is out of balance...
There's always been one common factor...
Boredom.
In today's podcast we'll talk about how boredom could be killing your business and how you can adapt your mindset to overcome it.
It couldn't be simpler to make your first £1000 in Property.
You don't even need to do a single deal...
Most Property investment strategies require funds to get started.
(Whether your own or someone else's.)
Leveraging your power team, however...
Can help you make money without doing a single deal.
In today's podcast, we'll go back to grassroots and discuss how you can get your first £1000 in Property by simply referring your power team.

"Paul, can I run a UK Property business from overseas?"
Here's my answer, coming direct from Costa Rica... Of course you can.
You can run a Property business from anywhere in the world. With communication constantly becoming faster and easier, the world has never been more connected. Location is nowhere near the hurdle it used to be. Although there are a few things to consider beforehand...
In today's podcast, we discuss how to run a UK Property business from abroad, and the hurdles to overcome to make it a success.
What Property strategy should you choose? Well, that's completely dependant on a few things... Are you just getting started..? Or do you have a few years in the game..? Do you have money and resources to invest..? Or do you need to build up your wealth from scratch..?
In this podcast, I'll talk through the different strategies available to you, and the one strategy that everyone in Property should use as the backbone of their business, to help build fund and accelerate their Property business.
"Paul, should I buy property at auction?"
Look, properties on auction might be cheaper BUT...
It's only worth buying if the numbers work for you.
As I always say...
You make money when you buy Property.
So, make sure you buy right.
In today's podcast, we talk about how to mitigate the risks when it comes to buying Property at auction and how to ensure you make a profit.
"I just don't have the time to get into Property."
For anyone that's ever said this, I urge you to listen...

Fighter pilot, property expert, family man, fitness fanatic...
This man does it all and makes it look easy.

If you're smart, you'll get connected with him.
It's a common goal to own your own home.
But is it really a good investment..?
Today, I answer the question...
Is your home an asset or liability?
And if it is a liability...
Is there a way to leverage it and make it an asset?
People in Property often struggle to expand due to lack of cash. Funny thing is they may have access to more than they think. By refinancing the properties you have, you can get get a small pot of cash. Allowing you to get involved in multiple other deals.
In this podcast, I talk about refinancing properties the right way and how to avoid the most common mistakes.
"Paul, I can't wait to get started in Property. Where's the best place to start..?"
I love seeing this passion in people. I also know that there's many misconceptions out there that getting started in Property is difficult. That you need money. That you need good credit. That you need to have a track record. Not true, my friends.
Let me share with you the strategy I used when I started out. The strategy that helped me build a solid foundation, gained experience and knowledge fast and brought in the money that allowed me to become a full-time property investor...
"I bought a 3 bedroom house full of dead pidgeons... Then I told my husband about it..."

One of the admirable things about Heather is her complete willingness to help those she works with, so make sure to connect with her. She is an invaluable connection to have.

In this video, we talk about the many ways to add the most amount of value onto a property before selling, how to avoid the common mistakes that may affect your profit and how to buy property right in the first place.
Following my talk at the Scottish Letting Day...
I made an observation that landlords often want the same thing...
To grow their portfolio.
After speaking to many people at the event...
I found a pattern in what is holding them back...
In today's video, I talk about the various ways to scale up your property portfolio.
I'm often told people don't have money to get into Property.
When most of them are sitting on a pile of it...
It's just tied up in their home.
Now, we're conditioned to believe that debt is bad.
Nonsense.
If you use that debt to get a bigger return on the total...
Isn't debt great?
In today's video, let's talk about...
Using home equity to create wealth through Property.
I'm often told people don't have money to get into Property.

One of the most common questions I've been asked this year...
"Is Buy To Let Dead..?"
Usually in response to me telling people that I'm off-loading my properties.
