Summary

Simon explores the concept that "practice doesn't make perfect," emphasising the importance of "perfect practice" in achieving success. Drawing parallels between magic and property investing, he shares insights from a lecture by a seasoned magician who highlights that merely repeating incorrect actions won't lead to mastery, and also introduces his "massive success formula," which combines massive action, the right strategies, and consistent effort KEY TAKEAWAYS Simply practicing without ensuring correctness won't lead to perfection. It's essential to practice the right techniques to improve effectively. Many people hold back from taking action due to a fear of not being perfect. It's important to recognise that waiting for everything to be perfect can hinder progress. Engaging with potential sellers, investors, and agents is crucial. You don't need to have everything set up perfectly before starting these conversations; solving their problems is what matters. To succeed in property investing, focus on five key actions: find motivated sellers, run the numbers, view properties, make offers on every property, and follow up consistently. BEST MOMENTS "Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect." "If you're doing something that's not correct, the more and more you do of it, you're not going to become perfect because it's not correct in the first place." "Done is better than perfect. Done to 85, 90% is often better than perfect." "They don't care about the other things that you are spending lots of time worrying about. They care about what's in it for me, how can you help me."
