If you want to become successful at anything, whether it’s property investment, business or entrepreneurship, a great strategy is to find yourself a mentor – someone who’s achieved what you’re wanting to achieve and study them, learn from them and emulate them.
You can learn from their successes as well as their failures.
In fact it’s much cheaper to learn from your mentor’s mistakes
So please allow me to be one of your mentors.
You see…I frequently get interviewed on the radio, television and on podcasts.
And today I’d like to replay an interview that brought out a lot of great information about my youth, my successes and also the things I’ve done wrong.
As I said…if you can learn from other people’s mistakes, why not do that instead of making these yourself?
Mike Mortlock from MCG Quantity Surveyors interviewed me for his podcast.
This show is about double the length of our normal show, but there’s a lot of good information there that both new and returning listeners will benefit from.
