Unlocking Property Knowledge: The Practical Property System
In this podcast episode, aimed for seasoned property investors and newbies alike, hosts Dan Hulbert and Amy Rowlinson give an overview of what is involved within their Practical Property System. There are three key phases: People, Preparation and Procedure and these are then subsequently broken down into 21 steps designed to be implemented into any property business model.
They discuss the importance of viewing a property from three perspectives; a builder’s knowledge, an investor’s mindset and an end user’s functionality of living within that space. They examine why it is best to detach your emotional reactions when viewing a property, how it is best to remain neutral in design and not overspend on those unnecessary extras.
Do you know what the actual, not estimated, refurb costs will be? If not, Dan and Amy recommend that when viewing properties, you take a trusted builder with you and ask them to point out what the defects are and factor in additional contingency costs before making your offer. It will save you a lot of money in the long run. They cover budget, team and research and help you to understand what is required from a practical perspective. Just because the numbers work on paper for a deal doesn’t mean in reality that is the case!

The Property Vault Podcast - 006 - Interview with Adrian Brown - Self-leadership
Unlocking Property Knowledge: Self-leadership
In this podcast episode, Adrian Brown, Leadership Coach from 2Be2Serve, discusses the importance of self-leadership in business with hosts Dan Hulbert and Amy Rowlinson. Adrian believes that leadership is the biggest missing skill in business today. If you want to be a successful business leader, you must be an effective self-leader first.
Self-leadership is required to control your destiny and design your life. Growth is a sacrificial act. What are you willing to sacrifice that will create your route to becoming a self-leader? It might be uncomfortable! Have you looked at the environment you are functioning within from both a business and personal perspective? Do you need to transform your environment to generate your desired outcome? Are you clear about the 'What', 'Who' and 'Why'?
The focus is on the mastery of the mundane. Using the reflection process of self-awareness that is built into your daily routine and the speed of your adjustment is key to moving forward. Reflect, adjust, modify and improve. Using a planner, such as 'The High Performance Planner' from Brendon Burchard, is a great way to track both subjective and objective performance indicators to help you grow with urgency.
