Rob and special guest, guest Sarah Poynton-Ryan discuss debt reduction, debt management, and Sarah's personal journey from financial struggles to becoming a successful entrepreneur in the property industry.

Sarah shares her experiences of starting a photo booth business, facing debt and business challenges, and ultimately finding success through property investment. She emphasises the importance of understanding money mechanics and differentiating between good and bad debt. Sarah also highlights the need for operational business practices and the importance of enjoying the journey while preparing for a secure financial future. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Debt can be categorised as either good debt or bad debt. Good debt is debt that adds to your personal resources, while bad debt is debt that drains your personal resources.
• It is important to understand the fundamentals of money and how it works in both personal and business finances. This includes understanding the difference between gross profit and net profit, as well as the difference between turnover and net profit.
• Rent-to-rent and sourcing can be effective strategies for generating cash flow, but it is crucial to build a business rather than just a job. Running a business requires operational best practices and the ability to implement theory into practice.
• Clearing debt is an important milestone, but it is also important to enjoy the fruits of your labor. However, it is equally important to prepare for the future and lay the foundations for a simple and secure financial future.
