OH F**K OFF AND READ

04/09/2023

🥱🥱I haven’t been sleeping well lately. My mind is full of worries. It’s just the way I am, I worry about a lot, all the time.

🙊I have read the chimp paradox and tried to practice those techniques in the middle of the night to get back to sleep, it sometimes works

🏡🏚️This morning I focused on tidying the house, the kids have ramsacked the place and I thought tidy house tidy mind

✍️📝I sorted my desk, and brain dumped everything onto post it notes

❤️My favourite technique, I am going to sort them into quick wins to get them completed fast, stuff I need help with and stuff that’s playing on my mind and need a decent strategy for

🐕🐾Inbetween these will walk the dog and do some physical stuff as I hate been sat down all day!

And then cut myself some slack, I am to hard on myself

How I feel when I have to do SA laundry 🤣🤪

23/08/2023

This is why the 5am club for me is 👎

I have been getting up earlier then I want to but thats because my child wakes me up 🤣

I read and force myself to do Pilates or stretching to help my back problems.

I don’t be doing anything crazy!

22/08/2023

Next level systemisation
That should get some time and peace back

21/08/2023

The past few weeks have been a bit tough. I am pretty much visiting burn out city.

Everything in business has gone a bit awol. A lot of stuff has broken and I haven’t had the chance to give it EVERYTHING it needs.

My health has gone down the pan a bit, as have a lot of other stuff and it’s not what I want.

I let my habits slide and haven’t had the ability to say no.

I am reading a book on essentialism and taking control back of my time, what suits me and when and is it leading to my goals? Am I working and burning out for free?

I am pretty content with water and sat chilling so gone to spend some time calming my ridiculous thoughts and taking back some time for me

🏡I eat property for breakfast 💪🏻

I would have preferred a fry up but I settled for bran flakes after a morning of pi***ng about 🍳

After a wonderful morning parenting a neurotic toddler I went to pick up a brand new but “used” bed off Facebook market place. No doubt I will need it soon as my main role in busines seems to be constantly sorting beds for tenants.

I then went to a new air b and b that I manage and spot checked it after a new team member has started.

✅ HACK ⭐️ you can iron bedding whilst it is on the bedding if you are s**t at using an ironing board 🫧

I went there also as a soggy tea towel was left and that sent me over the edge and I like 5 star reviews 🤤

Nothing is ever perfect I am an up against the clock today but my attention to detail and work ethic is 👌🏻🤌🏻

Business isn’t 9-5. It’s 24/7 and then some more as there is an abundance of constant stuff to do and it’s always how much can I fit into a minute. I like to keep a toe in as it keeps me on the ball and makes sure everything is always improving 💫💫

And if you know me well I have worn this dress 3 times this week and yes I picked it off the floor 💅🏻

Did some one whisper passive income 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Choosing when a problem is for another day 💙

14/08/2023

This morning

I knew I had a lot on, tasks I didn’t want to do. Driving around and activities with not a lot of outcomes ( I thought)

Whilst brushing my kids hair, she used some incorrect words “I haven’t got a great mindset”

So I told her to change it then!

I know she meant memory 🤣🤣

But I agreed with her today I didn’t have the right mindset.

So I changed it and then

✅I managed to spot check my serviced accommodation and come out with an action plan
✅ Spot check a HMO, tell the tenants off and meet with the gardener
✅View and analyse a potential new SA and connect with a lovely new tradesperson
✅Clear some emails
✅Make a phone call I kept putting off
✅Will be stacking 3 more SA deals today
✅Check in and support a tenant I overheard crying

Have a break 🩷💫

13/08/2023

🧠My head has been up at arse a bit 🍑

I let some of my good habits slide and haven’t really had a break. Felt slightly burnt out and have a lot of tension headaches from being on my phone a lot.

I have had 2 memorable bad weeks in my business and one was last week whilst I was on holiday.

I have done a lot of reflection, a lot of deep diving into the business and wrote a list of what I don’t like and what I need support in. Along side stengthening the business and development.

I have had one eye 👀 only on the 🎱 and spent alot of time writing an action plan as I relied a lot of others without quality checking and a few things have slipped lately.

I started with what I don’t like and went from there coming up with issues and solutions.

Also reflecting on getting some of my down time back ⭐️

A productive weekend 🩷✨

24/07/2023

A property day.

Days can be varied, they can be glamourous and sexy or absolutely s**te

Today has been a mixture of the 2 🥴

✅Spent an extortionate amount of time dealing with tenant s**t, literally and verbally
✅Sadly and against my morals, a tenant has been served notice but I am last chance saloon and he has blown it (emotional day)
✅Visit to newest serviced accommodation to introduce the cleaner to it
✅Chat with friend, felt a bit meh
✅Hour round trip to pick up some linens☹️
✅More s**te in emails, admin and s**te
✅Coaching calls with mentees
✅Call with solicitor about buying a block of flats
✅Recording a podcast

I did however do my social media posts sat at the beach. I needed a break. I fu***ng absolutely windy beach 💨

I mean come to Cleethorpes I have a beautiful holiday let there ☀️

It’s ok to stop for a bit you know
No need to constantly progress
🫶🏻

05/07/2023

‼️What does my morning look like as an entrepreneur? ‼️🤔

✔️I get up when my kid aggressively knocks at my door, if I haven’t had to sleep with her in the night
✔️drink approx 3 cups of strong black coffee to open my eyes
✔️throw some chocolate on toast for them
✔️feed the animals
✔️then log on to work at my actual job not business

🙅🏼‍♀️you don’t have to get up when the birds are asleep to be successful
🙅🏼‍♀️you don’t need an hours meditation or affirmation first thing
🙅🏼‍♀️freeze to death in an ice bath in your garden
🙅🏼‍♀️do 18 hours days
🙅🏼‍♀️be a pleb

Small consistent actions around your current life with the compound effect is where it’s at 👌🏻

12/06/2023

To be successful
❌You DON’T need to get up at 5am
❌Take an ice bath 🥶
❌Do 15 hour days

✅DO consistent small daily actions

Tell me your in property without telling me your in property 🤣

15/05/2023

Calculated risks 📈

It’s ok to change your mind, give your self a goal or milestone and then amend it.

If you are not confident then don’t go ahead. For me I would like my business running well, consistent income and a plan to move forward to the next stage of the journey.

Things are changing and properties are also coming and going. Some sales are slower then expected and although I like calculated risks if I am not confident I will hold back and that’s ok 🧠

I am in it for the long game 🙌🏻

A bit of reflection and justification for knowing I will surpass a key date I had for the next phase.

13/05/2023

Delivery day 🫶🏻📭

Ensuring the HMO is compliant and safe.

We are organised and have multiple keys colour coordinated 🤤🤤

Look boxes inside for a spare key if a tenant gets locked out. Which happens way more then you think 🫨🫨

I much prefer digi code locks personally but depends on the local authority and the HMO I have taken on.

Find a problem and mitigate against it to ensure you have a little hands on problems as possible!
