Building a strong support network, both personal and professional, is crucial for overcoming challenges and achieving long-term success in property entrepreneurship. BEST MOMENTS  "Success is rented. It isn't owned. You've got to show up every day." "Trust, but verify. So do your due diligence on people, make sure you've got a good understanding of where they're at. How's the project going to pan out and just slow down." "I look at some of the problems that I deal with on a day to day basis now, and four or five years ago, they would have been catastrophic. And they're now just such small, minor inconveniences compared to the other bigger problems." "What other, what else exists in the world where you can have a worldwide audience, a shop window to the world for free, right? And so few people harness the power of that." "Do I need any more income at the moment? No. Would I like more? Yes. But how much weight and how much value do I need to put on that? How much more success do we really need to have?"
