They share their process for setting intentional, measurable goals that align with their 5-year plan, covering both their property business and their personal lives.

The bulk of the episode focuses on the specific goals for the "Year of Building the Kingdom" - personal aims around focus, fitness, and rest, as well as professional targets for growing their client base, completing joint venture deals, and transitioning one of their NHS work. Throughout, they emphasize the importance of being intentional and not letting the business or their lives stagnate.

In this episode, the hosts discuss the importance of setting goals as they head into the new year of 2025. They share their own experiences over the past month, including challenges filling rooms in their rental portfolio and changes to their virtual letting agent.

Michael and Laura emphasise the significant impact that goal-setting can have on one's success, citing statistics from a Harvard Business School study. They recommend making SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals and understanding the "why" behind those goals.

Also, we will promote an upcoming in-person property investing seminar on February 28th in London, featuring guest speaker John Howard. They encourage listeners to attend this event to further their knowledge and network with other investors.

Key Takeaways:

- The importance of setting clear, measurable goals for the new year

- Understanding the "why" behind your goals to stay motivated

- Strategies for breaking down larger goals into actionable steps

- Upcoming events and resources to help listeners achieve their property investing goals

Don't let another year go by without setting clear, actionable goals for your property investing journey. Take the time now to reflect on what you want to achieve in 2025 and beyond, and put a plan in place to make it happen.

Remember, those who write down their goals are statistically proven to earn significantly more than those without goals. Harness the power of goal-setting and set yourself up for success in the new year.
