Simon looks at the importance of planning for the future, specifically focusing on setting goals for 2025 and beyond. Drawing on insights from Tony Robbins, he highlights how people often underestimate their potential over a decade while overestimating what can be achieved in a year. The episode outlines two key financial milestones: financial independence and financial freedom, encouraging listeners to define what these mean for them and to create actionable plans to reach their goals. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Having a clear plan for 2025 and beyond is crucial for achieving your goals. Without a plan, you risk fitting into someone else's agenda.
• Aim for financial independence, where you no longer have to work for money, and strive for financial freedom, which allows you to live life without worrying about costs.
• Success in property investing often requires collaboration. Leverage your network to access knowledge and resources, and consider hiring professionals for tasks that can free up your time.
• Maintain a pipeline of property deals at various stages to avoid becoming a motivated buyer. This approach allows you to stay focused on finding the best opportunities without getting emotionally attached to any single deal.
• Break down your larger goals into smaller, actionable steps. For instance, if you aim to acquire four properties in a year, plan to acquire one every three months and outline the necessary actions for each month and week.

BEST MOMENTS

"Failing to have a plan is like planning to fail. If you don't have a plan of what you want to achieve, ultimately, you'll end up fitting into someone else's plan."

"People often overestimate what they can do in 12 months, but massively underestimate what they can do in a decade."

"You are not going to be successful on your own. You can't do everything on your own."

"If you want to achieve these goals as financial independence or financial freedom, and you're not doing everything on your own, who are the people who you can get to do some tasks for you?"

"A big mistake you want to avoid is where investors become what we call motivated buyers. They’re so desperate to do a deal that they try and tweak the numbers to make it work."
