Be Careful Who You Spend Time With

Simon discusses the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people, the highlighting how relationships can lead to joint ventures and collaborations that are essential for growth.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The people you spend the most time with significantly influence your success. Choose to be around individuals who are supportive, encouraging, and successful to elevate your own potential. Networking is essential in property investing. Establishing trust and rapport with others in the industry is crucial for securing joint ventures and funding. Relationships take time to develop, so focus on building them genuinely. Connecting with more experienced individuals can provide invaluable insights and advice. A quick conversation with someone knowledgeable can save you time and help you avoid costly mistakes in your property investments. Continuous education and self-improvement are vital. Attend networking events, workshops, and seminars to gain knowledge and expand your network. The investment in your education is often small compared to the potential returns. BEST MOMENTS "You will become, you are like the five people you spend most of your time with." "If you want to be able to continue investing, a key thing you need to develop is the concept of using other people's money." "It always makes you smile and cringe slightly when I hear people who go to a property investor network meeting for the very first time expecting to meet a line of people queuing up to lend them money." "One of the best ways to meet people who you want to connect with is maybe spend some money, become a client of theirs, work with them."
