Short motivational monologue (Ian Ugarte) advising listeners to maintain focus by applying a "three areas, three strategies" rule. For property investing: concentrate on three specific suburbs and ensure each deal supports at least three strategies (examples: subdivision, construction, high-res). For personal health: focus on three areas (family, mental health, physical health) and use three strategies (jogging, F45 gym, nutrition).
People often ask me, how do I maintain.
My focus in all areas of my life? I'll talk about that in just one sec.
People come to me all the time and say, I can't find a deal. And I say it's because of the restless puppy dog. Now you've heard me talk about that. And the fact is that people want to become involved in property and they go out and they look for a subdivision deal or an options deal and they're looking in WA and Tasmania and New South Wales and they're going off and doing everything else and they're losing focus. So I always say, three areas, three strategies. Concentrate three specific suburbs. Get to know the area really, really well. Know it like the back of your hand. So when someone comes to you and says, I found this property, especially agents, you know straight away what the property's worth and what you can do with it. The three strategies are that you want to make sure that every deal that you do has three separate strategies as a minimum that you can do on it. So it might be subdivision construction and high res strategy. And the reason that you multiply strategies is because in any one deal when you're multiplying, you're only using the agent once. You're using your designers and planners once, we're using everyone else once. Slow down a sec. And you're making sure that you've got efficiency in, in what you got to do. Now here we are running against the traffic, right? And I've just had to stop because we've got cars in the way and we see the danger coming. We start again and by focusing on three areas and three strategies, you'll see dangers like that coming up. You'll cut some costs and you'll make more profit. So ultimately, in all areas of your life, three areas, three strategies. This series has been based around in my health focus, three areas. My family, my head health and my body physical health. And the three strategies I've used are jogging, our F45 that we opened and my food. So understand in all areas of your life, three areas, three strategies maintain your focus and overall better outcome.
