For this episode, Alex and Pooh talk about the realities of being in business, which, regardless of where you are in your journey is tough. They focus in on how to get through the tough days, those times when things don´t work out and you start to feel that you are heading in the wrong direction. If you want to know how to maintain motivation and momentum this is the episode for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS If your reason for being self-employed is not strong enough, at some point, you are going to give up and go back to working for someone else. Regularly remind yourself why you have chosen to be an entrepreneur. When you initially start you are full of enthusiasm and energy. Your tank is full but keeping it that way is not easy. Try to keep your life partner in the loop and on your side. If you have a business partner lean on each other. If not surround yourself with other entrepreneurs who are at your level or a little ahead of you. Exercise is important it keeps you healthy and perhaps more importantly gives you the chance to turn off. BEST MOMENTS "You get amazing days – you can conquer the world and the next day just pew." "You are always on, you´re always thinking about something whether things are going good or whether things are going bad." "If you hire a mentor, work with someone who´s living a life that you want to live." HOST BIOS Alex & Pooh have built a portfolio of over 16 Serviced Accommodation Units and 10 Buy-To-Lets collectively over the last 5 years. This AirBnB Business has allowed each of them to create their own tailor-made ‘lifestyle by design.’ Pooh chose to escape the corporate life as an electrical engineer instead to spend his time at home with his young and growing family, and Alex likes to spend most of his time in sunny Spain enjoying his love for road cycling or even hiking in the Tramuntana mountain ranges.
