Why Get Rich Quick Doesn't Work

Shaz and Kieron discuss the concept of getting rich quickly versus getting rich slowly, highlighting the pitfalls of chasing get-rich-quick schemes and emphasising the importance of focusing on long-term wealth building strategies.

They discuss the reasons why get-rich-quick schemes fail, including slim chances of success, unrealistic expectations, high risk, and unsustainable wealth accumulation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Getting rich quickly is a pipe dream and rarely works in reality.
Focusing on getting rich slowly is a more sustainable and effective approach.
Many get-rich-quick schemes are high-risk and often lead to financial losses.
Gradual wealth building allows for adaptable financial goals and long-term financial stability.

Building Blocks to Create Financial Freedom

The team discusses the building blocks that help create financial freedom, emphasising the importance of mindset, discipline, and perseverance in achieving long-term wealth.

Shaz also explores the concept of simultaneous growth, where multiple streams of income and strategic partnerships can lead to exponential growth. He encourages listeners to focus on self-management, have difficult conversations, and prioritise their own worth.

Building blocks for financial freedom include mindset, discipline, perseverance, and small incremental steps towards wealth.
Financial freedom is subjective depending on personal circumstances, lifestyle choices, and financial goals. It is important to assess one's own needs and create a plan accordingly.
To achieve financial freedom, one must be willing to have difficult conversations, make tough decisions, and step out of their comfort zone. Fearlessness and self-management are key traits to develop in order to overcome challenges and achieve success.
Seeking out partnerships and collaborations can lead to synergy and exponential growth. By finding others who have complementary skills or customer bases, businesses can expand their reach and increase profitability.

How to Create Additional Income

Shaz discusses the importance of creating a second or additional source of income. He highlights the dangers of relying solely on one income stream, whether it be from a business or employment.

Shaz emphasises the need to diversify risk and shares the potential pitfalls of being overly reliant on one key employee or client. He then delves into the strategy of buying a business to create a second income, without using any of your own money.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Relying on one source of income in a business is risky, as any disruption or loss can have a significant impact on the business's stability and profitability.
Diversifying sources of income is important to mitigate risks and create a more stable financial situation. This can be achieved through investments, buying additional businesses, or creating passive income streams.
When buying a business, it is possible to negotiate deferred payments with the seller, allowing you to acquire the business without using your own money upfront.
Due diligence is crucial when buying a business to ensure that the financial and legal aspects are accurately represented and to avoid any unforeseen liabilities or costs.
Scaling up your business by acquiring multiple businesses in the same sector can lead to increased profitability and cash flow, allowing for further expansion and financial stability.

BEST MOMENTS

"The number one in business is the most dangerous number."

"When you have one big client or customer, then your independence is at risk."

"Increasing the income in one business doesn't always help people create more wealth because most people spend it."

"The answer, I believe to some extent, is to create additional sources of income."

"You now have a business. You now need to be thinking about how do I now scale up?"

Lease Option Agreements

Shaz delves into the topic of lease option agreements, explaining the concept of a lease and the complexities involved in lease agreements.

Shaz then discusses the potential changes to lease option agreements mentioned in the King's speech, which aim to improve fairness in the housing market. He explores the proposed reforms, such as extending lease terms, reducing ground rent, and increasing transparency in service charges.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Proposed changes to leasehold agreements aim to improve home ownership for leaseholders by making it easier to extend leases or buy freeholds.
The reforms include increasing the standard lease extension term from 90 to 990 years and reducing ground rent to zero.
The government plans to provide more transparency in lease agreements, including clearer information on service charges and administration fees.
The reforms also aim to empower leaseholders by granting them more rights and access to redress schemes to challenge poor practice.

BEST MOMENTS

"The cost is the cost. And I think most people are generally decent people and they can appreciate that if you want a nice road to drive down into, if you want your parking space kept free of weeds, you want there to be lighting, there to be security, there is a cost involved in that."

"Landlords get labeled as money grabbing, evil, blah, blah, blah. It's always the landlord's problem. It's not the landlord, it's the government. They've forced this into the marketplace, whether it's intended, unintended, don't want to go into that. They've created this situation and then you take responsibility for it."

"I think everyone should be able to get themselves into a position where they can own their own home."

"I don't see that being a bad thing at all. We'll see how that how that comes into effect and the scrapping the presumption for leaseholders to pay their freeholders legal costs when challenging this poor practice."
