How I Dealt With People Who Thought I Would Fail

Mark My Words Podcast

Mark and Rob do a Q&A with the audience and answer questions about books, entrepreneurship, what they are up to across their property businesses and the people they currently look to for inspiration. They also talk about how they are managing the current economic crisis and their thoughts on AI.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Your brain has a capacity, you can fill it with too much with things that aren’t relevant or good for you. Mark is selective about what he consumes, especially regarding books and other media.
• When people kept telling Mark he would fail, he simply bought houses and didn’t tell anyone until he succeeded.
• Don’t let the negative people around you hold you back, they are trying to keep you in the place they are at.
• Progressive’s costs have gone up significantly, like most property investors. Mark is going through all of their portfolios to see where he can make savings.
• Arnold Schwarzenegger and John De Martini are two of Rob’s current inspirational people!
• There will be a lot to come out of AI that will be worthwhile, Mark believes in the wait and watch strategy, to see the benefits through the early adopters.
• A centralised digital currency is something Rob and Mark agree is bad for the people, it gives the government far too much control.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I quite enjoy getting more from less’

‘We just need to make sure we really continue that momentum as this time of year things can go really slow’

‘Entrepreneurship is a stoic thing and good for progress’

‘I choose to focus on the upside of it [AI], not just the downside and all the doom’

‘Anything that gives them [The Government] more control I don’t like’
