For this episode, Alex talks about a subject that is close to his heart – finding your life´s purpose and breaking free of the confines of what society has taught us so you can embrace the life you truly want.

Alex explains how to identify your purpose, why you are here and what brings you joy and fulfilment, then quickly make the necessary changes to pursue that life. The good news is that it is easier than you think and literally anyone can do it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The traditional script is work hard for decades, save for retirement and then, if you are lucky, enjoy a few years of freedom.
• Following the traditional script simply does not make most people happy. Usually, it leads to an unfulfilling life full of drudgery. You have the power to change that.
• You don´t have to trade your time for money, you can create a business that does not require you to be physically present to make the cash you need to pay your bills.
• Once you have more free time living the life you want and fulfilling your purpose becomes far easier.
• Running a business that aligns with your true values is very liberating.
• Visualise the life you want. Then, take action to get it. Alex and Pooh´s course is designed to ensure that you take the right action.

BEST MOMENTS

"You can reclaim your time, discover your purpose, and start living a life filled with joy, adventure and true fulfilment."

"What is your life´s purpose, and why are you here?"

"Stop settling for mediocrity and start striving for greatness, one life, one chance."

“By leveraging technology, you can create a business that works for you, not the other way around.”

“Live life on your own terms and still achieve financial success while doing what you love.”

For this episode, Alex offers something a little different but incredibly inspiring. He is joined by Mathew Embry who was diagnosed with MS in 1995 when he was 19. Matt was facing a life in a wheelchair or worse, but with the help of his family and others, he found a way to beat this awful disease. At 50, he ran 6 marathons in 6 days. Today, he spreads awareness amongst the MS community about how to remain healthy and active.

To do this Matt has had to take on Big Pharma and other organisations who are actively trying to stop him and others from revealing that with the right diet, lifestyle and discipline you can stay healthy and active even when you have MS.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Developing the right mindset is essential.
• Mathew´s dad did a lot of research, using the then-available science to work out how to beat MS.
• Maximising what was already known about the disease and taking a multiprong approach was an important part of their strategy.
• Sharing what had helped him to remain healthy gave Mathew´s life new purpose and drive.
• Mathew faced a lot of opposition and discovered that organisations and Big Pharma that are supposed to be helping people with MS are hiding the positive impact the right diet, alternative treatments and lifestyle have on MS.
• People who are coming up with effective treatments are being pursued by the industry and shut down.
• The diet Mathew follows is not complicated, but it is a lot of work, and you have to be strict, so only 5% of people stick to it.
• Whether people like it or not being disciplined is the way through most issues.
• Speak the truth all the time, no white lies. You will be amazed by the good that flows into your life.
• If you don´t want to answer a question, just say – “I don´t want to answer that.”

BEST MOMENTS

"The science came first, then the strategies, which was the best diet."

"Instead, they come at you with a cease-and-desist letter and threaten to sue you."

"It turned out that he'd found a way of massively improving someone's struggle with MS without needing to spend hundreds of millions of pounds on these drugs."

"Every single meal is work. I mean, you can't really go out for lunch."

“I think God shows up every day. Like, if you are aware and awake, the key information will continually come to you.”

For this episode of the AirBnB Nomads toolbox, Alex explains how to deal with potential conflicts with guests to avoid negative reviews. He shares effective strategies to prevent some of those potential conflicts before they arise and explains how to handle those issues if they do occur.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Every SA owner occasionally gets a guest for whom nothing is good enough. But, how you handle that problem will still make a difference to the outcome.
• Set clear expectations within your property listing.
• Do your best to fix any issues. If you can´t fix them make guests aware of them in advance e.g. steep steps.
• Be clear about the house rules. If you don´t allow smoking, pets or parties say so.
• Include your house rules in the terms and conditions.
• Consider including a video tour of the property. Business guests really like them.
• Highlight the pluses too e.g. 5 mins walk from the station.
• Take a proactive approach to communication, get their details so you can ask them on WhatsApp how things are going after they arrive, and quickly fix any issues.
• Listen carefully, and express empathy when people raise problems.
• Ask questions to check your understanding of the issue and to draw out what the guest may be expecting you to do about the situation.
• If things get heated, step back, and take a short break.
• If a guest remains unreasonable don’t be afraid to stand firm.
• Be clear about the check-in and check-out procedures.

BEST MOMENTS

"You´ve got to be transparent about absolutely everything."

"The goal in all of this is to manage expectations. A guest who arrives and feels misled is way more likely to express dissatisfaction."

"Use feedback to enhance your hosting strategies."

For this episode, Alex shares how he uses lead generation to make far more money from his SA business. It is an extra service that you can easily bolt onto their existing serviced accommodation business, which has the potential to more than double your income. A model that is far less stressful than running your own SA properties.

Alex explains exactly how to get started, find clients and get paid quickly.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The lead generation model is simple – generate leads and sell them on to existing hosts for a sourcing fee.
• You can become a little OTA, a little AirBnB.
• You only need 000.01% of the market to make enough money to enjoy a great lifestyle.
• It is possible to turn this model into a form of passive income.
• Most corporate firms will happily hand the task of sourcing accommodation for their teams over to you.
• When you provide firms with a seamless high-quality service, they trust you completely and will continue giving you work for years to come.
• Leverage your relationships with hosts to regularly provide the firms you work with accommodation deals that they could not otherwise negotiate.

BEST MOMENTS

"If done right, this can actually surpass the income that you're generating from your serviced accommodation business."

"Solve a problem for lots of other people and make money by offering convenience and removing stress."

"Once you've built a reputation as that reliable resource, your business, and the amount of requests that are coming in are going to start to snowball."

“It's all about shifting your mindset from being just a host to becoming a solution provider, a connector.”

DESCRIPTION

For this episode, Alex is joined by Simon Zutshi a renowned property investor and trainer. Simon discusses his journey from university to becoming a successful property investor. Including, his initial struggles, financial difficulties and the influence his first landlord had on how he runs his business.

He and Alex discuss mindset, leveraging strategic knowledge and meeting the challenges of the current high prices and more restrictive regulations.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Property investing has its challenges, but it is also much easier than people think. You just have to follow the right process.
• High property prices do not make it impossible to get started in the business, Simon explains how to do so even if you have no money.
• Rent-to-rent, rent-to-buy or vendor options are low upfront investment property models anyone can potentially follow.
• As long as you have a reasonable credit rating you can secure a buy-to-let mortgage.
• There are risks in property, but if you are investing for the long-term they are a lot lower.
• Position yourself to take advantage of downturns.
• Always take full responsibility for your decisions.
• Be pragmatic, when things change, work out a new process and follow it.
• Having the right mindset and self-belief are vital.
• Never stop learning and adapting.
• If you don´t have a job, you have time. Use it to learn how to make money and acquire more skills.
• Right now, purchase lease options have a lot of potential. But you need to understand the business model. If you don´t have that knowledge work with people who do.
• As soon as you can, pay someone else to manage your properties so you can focus on buying. If you don´t buy more you won´t grow.

BEST MOMENTS

"A lot of people think about things but never take action. I´ve always been an action-taker."

"If you have the right mindset and belief and knowledge, there's always opportunities."

"Some people start with no money."

"I think there's so much opportunity in the market right now ."

For this AirBnB Nomads Toolbox episode, Alex answers the two questions that every SA host is asking, right now – Is the serviced accommodation market in the UK saturated? Can you still make money in a highly competitive market?

Alex goes way beyond answering those questions. He demonstrates that many of the big training companies are teaching outdated strategies. Then, explains what you need to be doing instead to continue to make money with serviced accommodation, regardless of market conditions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The fact that the serviced accommodation market in the UK is now incredibly competitive and regulation changes mean that what worked a few years ago is no longer effective.
• Regularly refresh your knowledge by following those who are still making SA work and taking their courses.
• Independent marketing and being able to take direct bookings makes a huge difference to profitability.
• If the 3rd party platforms you rely on change their algorithm, overnight, your bookings disappear.
• Creating a strong brand is essential if you want to be the company people think of when they want a place to stay.
• Every property is different. What works in London won’t necessarily work for a place in a small village. So, property courses that teach one-size-fits-all strategies are not effective.
• Many of the strategies taught by most of the big training companies are now woefully out of date.
• Monitor the market look for trends and adapt to changing customer needs.
• Leverage reviews.

BEST MOMENTS

“If you don't know advanced marketing techniques, of which there is plenty you will not survive in the service accommodation market.”

"Market saturation doesn't necessarily mean failure. It simply means that we've got to be smarter, more strategic and more focused."

“There is no off-season when you are doing things right.”
