Some key takeaways:

➡️ Estate agents ought to prioritise strategic planning and scalability to ensure future business success and growth rather than concentrating solely on immediate tasks and client needs.

➡️ Agents can bolster their wealth by utilising their industry knowledge to invest in undervalued properties, offering a more effective route to financial growth than solely relying on the agency model.

➡️ Agents must maintain a clear vision and avoid becoming too entangled in daily operations, planning for a future where they can step back from the business without it suffering.

Some great moments:

✅ “I don't imagine anyone sits in a room and goes right. My vision in 10 years time is to be the best agent!”

✅ “I sat down with somebody who they said when they wanted to retire and we worked out how many days they had left in their business and it was 1000 days, but to earn £2 million minimum from only a thousand days scared him!”

✅ “You have to be hands-off at some point and you have to accept that it's better for the business if you're hands-off!”
