I jumped back into my daily work routine this week after returning from a fun filled and memory rich ski holiday with my kids and extended family. I love holidays but I do also love getting into the productive zone of a working week and prioritising growth activities.
This week had Chris and I back in the proverbial saddle doing SA set up and we are definitely feeling ready to find the best way to hand this stuff over and outsource. Here are some pics of our latest unit in East Lothian taking shape.
Delighted to say that we confirmed our first booking for our Glenrothes unit via airbnb and that first booking is close to covering the month’s rent for a five night stay! I’ve also started researching and contacting companies in Glenrothes direct to explore opportunities to serve them. Any other angles to serve business travellers in this area are welcome.
On the drive up to Glenrothes I was listening to an interview with Tim Ferriss. It was about accelerated learning and it really got me thinking. Tim Ferriss has repeatedly broken the accepted norm for his speed of skill acquisition, and by doing this has greatly accelerated the speed of achieving big results. His approach begins with the quality of questions he asks (both of himself and of his mentors). Things like if there are 10 steps to this thing, how could you get me to almost the same end result in eight steps, or six? Or, what if I did the steps in a different order? He continually pushes boundaries to find how to get the 80% of results from 20% of his efforts.
Why do I mention this? Well, it got me thinking about how we can apply this thinking to accelerating our own results as property investors.
What are some of the best questions you have asked that have led to accelerating your results?
