Income and wealth are not the same thing.
You can have a very successful business that generates a fantastic income, but not ask yourself what you're doing with that income to build your long-term wealth.
For me, that's one of the reasons property can be so powerful.
Don't just think about what your money can buy you. Think about what it can build for you.
When I work with investors, we start by looking at where they want to get to.
That might be £5,000 a month in cash flow, £500,000 of equity, a certain number of transactions, or simply creating more financial freedom.
Your property doesn't have to do the same job as your business. Your business might be your main source of income today.
Your property portfolio might be there to build equity, generate additional cash flow or increase your net worth over time.
The important thing is knowing what you actually want each part of your financial life to achieve.
You don't need to choose between your business and property.
I've seen people build significant property portfolios while continuing to work in successful careers and businesses.
One investor I worked with built five properties alongside her finance career, increasing her net worth by almost £400,000 and her monthly cash flow by £3,400 over four years.
But I'd never tell you to just go out and buy property.
I'd start with the question: where are you trying to get to?
Then I'd look at how much time and money you have, your experience, where you're investing and what you want your property business to achieve.
From there, you can work out which strategies are actually appropriate for you.
And remember, your time is an asset too.
I've built my own property portfolio so that it is highly leveraged in terms of time. I spend around two or three hours a month on it because I've built the team, systems and relationships around it to make that possible.
That's important because I don't want my property portfolio to become another job.
So here's the question I'd ask you…
Your business is generating your income today.
What are you building alongside it that could create your wealth tomorrow?
