The Success Formula - with Mark Homer

This week, Ellie is on a mission with Progressive Property co-founder, property investor, entrepreneur, self-professed data geek, and host of the incredible Mark My Words podcast, Mark Homer. Mark joins Ellie to discuss his formula for success, how he built one of the most impressive property portfolios in the UK, why time is the most important resource we have, how to create a successful partnership, and the importance of financial education when it comes to business success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Financial common sense was bred into Mark from the very beginning, and the lesson was swiftly learned about the value of money and why it is important never to waste resources. Time is the most valuable thing we have. If we must spend money in order to save ourselves time, then so be it. We can always make more money, but time is a finite resource and must be conserved. Opposing skill-sets are vital when it comes to partnerships. We serve the business best when we are performing the tasks we're good at. Partnerships don't work if both partners are doing the same thing. The great business figures are the ones who can adapt in an agile way to changing circumstances. Mark's ability to pivot and shift to different business models helped him to survive and thrive during the pandemic, and as a result he has emerged stronger.
