So, we started out on a short journey in November and finished at Kings Cross Station last Saturday as a small group. Therefore, I just wanted to spend a few minutes today sharing what the TPV Apprentice Programme is all about and how the guys found it.

Transcription of the show

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Property Voice podcast. My name is Richard Brown and as always, it’s a pleasure to have you join me on the show again today.

So, we started out on a short journey in November and finished at Kings Cross Station last Saturday as a small group. Therefore, I just wanted to spend a few minutes today sharing what the TPV Apprentice Programme is all about and how the guys found it.

Property Chatter

The Apprenticeship combines a mentoring and masterminding programme all in one, so you get to learn in a 360-degree way. This is best suited for those who want to commit to a fast-track programme over a 100-day period to help shape and drive their property business. You can be new to property, experienced or just want a boost to your journey too. It has the following components:

• Baseline Situation Analysis
• Talent/Wealth Dynamics Assessment
• Monthly Group Mastermind Calls
• Regular 1-2-1 Mentoring Check-In Calls
• Full Day Final Group Springboard Event
• Project Site Visit(s)
• Guest speakers selected to complement the unique blend of requirements of each Programme
• Ad Hoc Support, network intros, etc. (as required)
• Community Hub (Basecamp)

The objective is to get you a viable vision, business plan and strategy where you will be actioning and achieving results by the time the 100-day programme concludes, ready to springboard onto the next phase of your journey with greater momentum.

Delivery is via a mixture of virtual, on-site, online and live events to give you a mixture of different learning and development methods, alongside Richard Brown as the mentor and facilitator and your fellow Apprentices as mastermind peers.

Who is it best suited for? Those who want more than a short ‘what’s my strategy’ assessment and instead want to dive into their property business in a committed manner over a 100-day period. Those with or without property knowledge, with or without time (although you WILL need to dedicate some time to the programme!) or with or without money. This option allows a deep, fast & immersive experience to propel your property business forward by combining mentoring with masterminding principles.

In an attempt to be ‘inclusive’, there is a very clear value to this programme that could be paid as a fee, as a ‘value-exchange’ or a combination of the two. This means that you can receive tailored education aligned to your current resource strengths in what is probably one of the most innovative learning and development programmes currently available in the property industry.

Benefits:

• Input and guidance from into your personalised property business plan from an experienced property investor
• Deep understanding of yourself and others to be able to pitch to everyone, learn what your blind spots are and bring in the ‘wingmen’ needed to ensure your success.
• Mastermind with a small group of peers to generate support and accountability…and even business partnership opportunities..
• A mixture of virtual, online, on-site and live events to ensure variety, value and maximum time efficiency in the programme.
• From review => planning => committed action => results – this is an action and results-based programme, not a talking shop!
• A choice of payment options of a fee, a unique ‘value exchange’ option…or a combination of the two, designed around you and your particular resources.
• Potential to partner not only with your peers but also with me potentially if that works for all parties. In TPVA1 we had four apprentices, who in a variety of ways, agreed to work among themselves and also in some cases directly with me by the end of the programme. This is not essential, but it could be bloomin useful!

Next, the strategies and some achievements of the Apprentices.

So, we had people that had little or even no money to invest at all on this programme and also one or two that either realised they had enough behind them or could set aside to achieve their goals, or perhaps needed a little push to stretch a little further.

Some looked at completely new strategies, including deal sourcing and project management, holiday lets and funding other investors and developers. Whilst some old favourites or reminders to stick to what you already know were reinforced, with BTLs, BRR, flips and title splits being adopted.

Each of the Apprentices developed and refined their own property business plans during the programme and were actively implementing what they had set out to do in terms of business and personal development by the end. There was new learning, breakthrough moments and sharing across all members of the group – this is not just a 1-2-1 mentorship, although there was a lot of that going on as well.

We had guest speakers and contributors that looked at personality profiles, a talk from a full-time property investor and also a real-life JV partner too. So, I tried to tailor the content to fit the unique blend of requirements that the group required…next time this could be different.

In all honesty, I did not really know how this would turn out when I set it up, but it has surpassed my own expectations and as you are about to hear, those of the Apprentices as well.

I truly believe this is the start of something bigger and the Apprentices themselves designed what will follow on from the initial 100-day programme, which future apprentices can also take part in. I strongly suggest that you watch this space with these guys, as they will all no doubt leave their mark as they venture forward to realise their plans, hopes and dreams slightly better equipped now than they might have been just 100 days ago.

It has been a pleasure to work with you and get to know each of you…now let’s hear a few words from you all now.

Right, so now you know what the inaugural TPV Apprentices thought about their journey over the last 100 days. We already have a full complement for the Spring intake. If you wish to be considered for a future TPV Apprentice Programme, then email admin@thepropertyvoice.net and ask to complete the application screening survey. Remember though, you must make the right impression and have the right stuff to get onto this programme, as I only want to work with people with the right values and approach and where I believe it would be a good fit for all involved.

So, if you want to talk about anything from today’s show, or just talk property investing more generally, email me at podcast@thepropertyvoice.net, I would be happy to hear from you!

All that is left to say, is thank you very much for listening once again this week and until next time on The Property Voice Podcast…it’s ciao-ciao.
