Together they discuss the importance of networking and systems and how to value your own time.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Using Zero Accounting for your bookkeeping gives you control and supply great bookkeepers who can provide you with the right data in the right format. Any issues you may encounter will be solved by several experts.  Having the right people is crucial and so is having the right reporting systems in place so that you can measure your success and see whether you are achieving your goals. People and systems combined will grant you success.  You cannot rely just on systems if you want time freedom as well. You may have to go through the lengthy process of testing things out yourself before you can train people up to make sure they are implementing processes the way you know best.  If you have a high hourly rate, you need to look at the tasks you are doing and see whether or not they are bringing in the same as you would charge per hour. Just because you enjoy doing something, does not always mean it is a good use of your time.  To ensure you are successful in your field you need to become good at finding great people. Networking, working alongside great people and trying to find experts to help in highly skilled areas will help you on your way to success.    BEST MOMENTS  “This book was not easy. It was probably one of the hardest things I have ever done.”  “Always try to work with experts.”  “You have got to go around that loop a few times before you can be confident that things are working in the way that you need it to.” ABOUT THE GUEST  Property Investor, #1 best-selling author and property coach, Quit corporate job 5 years ago and invested in property. Within 2 years, had replaced income, travelled the world, lived in NZ for 6 months. Currently in Namibia wildlife conservation since October. Bronwen Vearncombe has built a successful business over the last few years and has been able to give up her full-time corporate banking job and find freedom. Having been told she’d not be able to retire until age 67 – she knew there must be a way to escape and to spend more time with her husband and two children, and maybe even be her boss!  In just two years she and her husband replaced their corporate income with property rental and left their jobs. Inspiring many people each year through her success, not only does she have a great property business, but she teaches others through her online learning platform established in 2017.     Just two years later they set out to follow their dreams and specific adventures:  John circumnavigated the globe with the 17/18 Clipper Round the World yacht race, and Bronwen followed working in the business and volunteering along the way.  Travelling the world proved that they could balance a property business and adventure. In 2019 they spent 6 months working from The Whitsunday Islands in Northern Queensland, where Bronwen wrote her book Building Your Dream Life which was published in 2020. Featured in national property media, Bronwen loves to share her knowledge and to help others get onto the investor ladder of success.  Her programme of pre-recorded webinars and coaching enables easy, but supported, learning of the very foundation steps and uses examples from her own Hampshire portfolio too.  Bronwen is currently in Namibia volunteering at her favourite wildlife conservation group, Naankuse – a great place to escape the UK lockdown and continue to work from her laptop!   Social Media links: WEBSITE: https://membership.propertyinvestingfoundation.com/free-membership FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/propinvfoundation/  LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bronwenvearncombe/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/bronwenv64    @bronwenv64 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bronwen_pif/   ABOUT THE HOST Steve used to be a slave to his business but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change the way he worked.
