Been to an event, got highly motivated, fired up and ready to go the next day? Get started, hit some blocks, motivation wanes, you give it, you get excited about something else only to repeat the cycle. Sounds familiar?

In this episode, Alex discuses the four phases of implementing any strategy (Euphoria, Epiphany, Evolution and Excellence) and why most people get stuck in a shiny penny syndrome loop in the first two stages and (most importantly), the BLUEPRINT to reaching the Excellence stage.

If you've ever procrastinated on a venture, hit obstacles, develop limiting beliefs and quit, hit a plateau and can't seem to breakthrough that glass ceiling then this episode is for you.

BEST MOMENTS

 "I've built up a six-figure property business up to now, but that has actually been built up simply by following a system, simply by following a model. And it is this model that I'm going to share with you guys tonight so that you can also benefit."

"You go pass through the traffic lights and so on. Because you've developed this unconscious competence. You can do things almost on autopilot because you've been doing things many, many times over."

"You are eliminating your excuses. You own your agenda here. You know there's no one else who is going to come for you. Everything depends on you."

 "In the absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until, ultimately, we become enslaved by it."

KEY TAKEAWAYS



Alex believes in using property as a vehicle to achieve financial and time freedom.



His strategy focuses on buying commercial or mixed-use properties, splitting the titles, and converting the commercial units into residential to maximize returns.



The target acquisition value ranges from £100,000 to £150,000, with a minimum of two-bedroom units and a minimum yield of 25% on capital employed.



The corporate structure involves setting up separate SPVs for the freehold and leaseholds, with different lenders used for each property to spread the risk.



Leveraging commercial units can be challenging due to limited lender options and lower loan-to-value ratios, but refinancing after converting to residential can help release equity.



BEST MOMENTS

"I stumbled on it actually by, I wouldn't say accident, but I had a light bulb moment."

"What if I had 10 of these? Essentially, I wouldn't need to actually work."

"The focus has always been to leave as little money as possible so that you can build a portfolio with the same pot of cash."

"We are picking up a lot of commercial or semi or mixed-use properties."

"We're looking for like infinite yields. I mean, obviously, these are the deals whereby you put all your money out and you have nothing invested and they are fully mortgaged."

ABOUT THE GUEST

Andy Tully

I am a cryptopreneur

I have made my fortune by buying and selling cryptocurrency and it’s what I currently do full time to this day. I’m super passionate about crypto as it has given me the freedom to be able to do what I want, when I want, with whoever I want.

 

Now my mission is to try and get as many people enjoying crypto as much as I do. So I teach total beginners how to start investing into crypto to give them a solid portfolio and investment plan. I teach people that already know about crypto how to streamline their portfolios so they are able to get a steady income stream. I also run an investment fund as not everyone has time to learn so I invest for them.

 

I wasn’t always a cryptopreneur. I used to be an electrician and had my own electrical contracting company. For about 20 years I’ve been trading the financial markets as a hobby/side hustle this was used to pay for my holidays, renovations, etc

 

I became aware of crypto in 2015 and purchased my first Bitcoin in 2016 but didn’t really think it was something that would stick around but I have always dabbled in it and kept an eye on it as it started to get more and more mainstream.

 

March 2020 came and Bitcoin was about $4k. Covid 19 was here and we were all in lock down, this is when I really hit it full time. I had temporarily closed my electrical company and just did crypto, this is when I started teaching people over zoom and how to get in and trade crypto.

 

So at the moment my son runs my electrical business and I just eat, sleep and breathe crypto and I am truly living the dream.
