This is a slightly different episode to what you might expect. John describes this one as a ‘self-promo’ episode, talking about some of the content in his upcoming online course which has been created by John to help agency owners fully understand the business fundamentals that make the biggest difference to every successful business. During this episode, John touches on some of the topics he will be presenting on in the course, such as budgets and finance, creating a winning team culture and how to make yourself redundant. We are likely looking at a difficult time over the next 12 to potentially 24 months and this course will help you to get ahead on these areas before we start a new year. During the course, you will also hear from John’s accountant, where they will have an in-depth discussion on budgets and finance. This is one not to miss out on!

Creating that winning team culture is very important.   BEST MOMENTS “The reason most people don’t have a budget, is pretty much because they don’t feel comfortable with the numbers. They don’t feel as though they understand it.” “If people feel they’re being left out or they’re not being communicated to, then descent can set in. People can feel as though they’re not part of the team and if they’re not part of the team, that’s when little side groups and little cliques form.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES Leadership Revealed Podcast Castledene Sales & Lettings   ABOUT THE HOST John has several Estate and Letting Agencies in the North East of England.
