In this episode, Emma Howitt engages in an insightful conversation with property expert Darren Burrows. Emma and Darren explore the critical mindset shifts necessary for success in the property business, emphasising the importance of collaboration, delegation, and creative strategies. Darren shares his personal journey from managing projects to building a legacy in property, highlighting his extensive experience in refurbishments and project management.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Emphasising the importance of collaboration, delegation, and outsourcing in property management is crucial for success. Many individuals initially try to do everything themselves, which can lead to costly mistakes and inefficiencies.
- Having a background in project management and construction can provide a significant advantage in property development. Understanding the various moving parts and being able to foresee potential issues can help in delivering projects smoothly.
- Effective marketing is essential for success in property. Building relationships with estate agents and utilizing social media are key strategies. Consistency in marketing efforts often outweighs knowledge and experience.
- Exploring innovative building techniques, such as Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) and spray cork, can lead to more efficient and sustainable construction practices. These methods can reduce labor costs and improve energy efficiency.
- Being prepared for setbacks is vital in property development. A thorough planning process, including contingency plans, can help mitigate risks and ensure that projects stay on track despite challenges.
BEST MOMENTS
"One of the biggest mindset shifts is the ability to understand you've got to collaborate, delegate, outsource stuff. A lot of people want to try and hold on to everything and do everything themselves."
"You have some huge experience, huge transferable skills, and you've got something really amazing to add onto that."
"If you can get all of those boxes ticked before you even start the project, you've thought about all that... you can foresee what's going to go wrong before it goes wrong."
"I'm a big advocate for looking at all the different technologies, putting it all together in one package and then just using that."
"You know, you're actually being selfish if you're not sharing that because someone else is experiencing that as well."
