Here is that episode for you along with the show notes.
This episode was primarily about how i started and grew my business
Hope you enjoy!

Kyrillos Mansour is a buyer’s agent and the founder of First Brick. Initially an optometrist, Kyrillos has now helped hundreds of homeowners and investors all across Australia, with $50M+ over a hundred property purchases. Through his podcast and social media, he takes pride in educating everyday Australians on how to generate wealth through property investing. In this episode, Kyrillos and Ben discuss how consistency and word-of-mouth helped him land almost 20 clients in one month, how focusing on his BA business got him out of a low period, or why being patient might have been crucial in the success of his company.

-- QUOTES --
- “You can have all of the programs (software) in the world, but if you don’t have any clients you don’t have a business.”

  • “Sometimes you have to be patient, and when it’s ready to go, then you go quick.”

  • “Yes, there are bad days, but what am I doing? [...] I’m actually changing people’s lives. I’m making people financially free. I’m getting people closer to quitting their jobs earlier.”

  • “I think we value failure too much. [...] I always ask myself, what’s the worst thing that can happen?”

On this week's episode we discuss ways to save tens of thousands of dollars on your mortgage and also how you can shave years on your mortgage too!

  • 3.00 - What is an Offset account?

  • 5.00 - Example:
    If you have an outstanding loan of $500,000 and have $100,000 in your offset account, the bank will calculate interest on the loan amount - the offset amount. So in this example, interest will be calculated only on $400,000 rather than $500,000
