I really enjoyed speaking with Dave and I hope you picked up some ideas and tips for taking your developing to the next level. It was awesome of Dave to share so much of his time with me, and I’d encourage you to reflect on some of the questions he posed. Tips for property developers Here’s the points from this week’s conversation that resonated with me: 1. Go as hard as you can As Dave said, you only get one go around the board so make the most of it. If you set yourself some lofty goals, you might surprise yourself by achieving them! 2. Challenge your limiting beliefs Most of what holds us back is our fears, or limiting beliefs - but they are simply figments of our imagination. In developing, for pretty much any situation, there’s probably been someone who has already faced that challenge and overcome it. So if you are stuck thinking you can’t deal with something, whether it’s finding capital or sourcing investors, then you need to start asking yourself some different questions to help shift your mindset. 3. Be clear about what you want and go after it Dave talked about being clear on what you want to achieve so that you know exactly what you are seeking, whether that be the size of deals, number of dwellings per project or return on investment. If you can articulate what you want to achieve, then you can set yourself a plan of how to get there. Okay, that’s almost it for this episode, thanks again for listening in to the show.
