ADVICE

Stop Waiting For Perfect

Stop waiting for perfect and start acting even if you lack full confidence or perfect timing.
Set a short learning window (weeks/months) then act to avoid another year slipping by.

Excuses Are Comfort Blankets

The stories you tell yourself (excuses) are comfort blankets that stop action and underperforming.

Right, let's be honest. Did you actually achieve what you wanted in 2025? Not "sort of" or "made some progress" - did you actually do it?

Most people listening to this will have fallen short. Maybe you spent another year researching. Maybe you were waiting for the perfect moment. Maybe you convinced yourself the market wasn't right, or you weren't ready, or you'd definitely do it next year.

We're not doing another year of that. This episode walks through exactly what stopped you last time (probably not what you think), how to get your strategy straight before you do anything else, and why the magic formula - leverage, inflation, time and a discount - is the only thing that really matters.

Whether you're starting out or you've already got a portfolio that's gone a bit stale, this is about the difference between people who spend 2026 learning and people who spend it doing.

We've also put together a free Property Goals Planner that breaks this down into actual monthly actions, because January enthusiasm means nothing if you hit November and realise you've done nothing.
