In this episode, Megan and I dive into a candid conversation about the key lessons we've learned over the past 18 months while managing our commercial property portfolio. And trust me, there’s been a lot to navigate.

Here’s what we discuss:

• Developing a healthy scepticism towards promises made by professionals (contractors, lawyers, accountants) and the importance of thorough due diligence 🥸🔍
• The benefits of focus - knowing when to put projects "on ice" to concentrate on top priorities, rather than trying to juggle too much
• Recognising when to bring in outside help, even if it feels challenging, in order to overcome personal roadblocks more efficiently.
• Understanding the nuances of balancing a desire for premium service/experience with financial realities and maintaining healthy margins.

As they say, every day is a school day… and that couldn’t be more true here 😅.

We hope you enjoy this honest conversation! Our goal with these episodes is to share the real-world challenges and insights we encounter day to day, believing that our transparency can help others on their own paths. So if there’s a topic you’d like us to explore - whether it’s property, business strategy, or personal growth - let us know. We'd love to hear from you.
