#032 - 3 Ways to “Cross-Pollenate” Your Social Media Followers. In this episode, Sam talks about how you can use one or two main social media platforms to increase your following on others, for a greater overall reach. In these 3 steps you’ll learn how to use direct messages to grow your following, redirect followers on one platform to another using short videos or trailers, and using links correctly across your platform to raise awareness of your presence and content elsewhere.

#031 - The Second Pillar... Here comes the side hustle baby! Last year I came up with my 4 pillar strategy for financial freedom. Over the past 7 months I’ve been working hard on pillar 1... to maximise my 9-5, giving me the beat earnings and freedom I can get. I moved jobs, and also started working from home twice a week. Pillar 2 is all about the side hustle... and now I’m ready. In this episode I talk through my plans for the new year, and how you can start your own side hustle. What did you think?

#030 - Financial Lessons from “Rich Kids Get Skint” Having a background where I completed two history degrees, I’ve always been taught to try and see everything I read and watch in a unique and new way. Although this tends annoy the wife quite a lot when I’m constantly commenting on random things that we watch on TV (well I say TV but really I meant Amazon, Netflix or Sky Go... we don’t watch much live TV unless the mighty Saracens are playing live!), I enjoy trying to find different takeaways from what we watch. And this was certainly the case with Rich Kids Get Skint, a Channel 5 show about a rich millennial spending a few days with a “poor” family (I say poor but I mean first world poor here). What we are meant to get from the show is that the rich kid can learn lessons in being more humble and appreciative of his or her cash, rather than be too frivolous. I managed to pull a few other little nugget away... listen to hear what... What did you think?

It’s been a devastating week for Emily and I. Losing our baby is a pain I’ve never known, and not something I would wish on anyone. In this episode there is no intro, no credits and no music. I just wanted to get my thoughts out and talk about how this has effected me, and what this means for my future. We wanted to take this opportunity to just say a huge thank you for all the support and messages of sympathy and love from our amazing friends and family. It may not seem much but the texts and messages have meant the world to us and have lifted our spirits when we have been at our lowest. Thank you and we love you all.

#028 - Losing My Bank Card Was The Best Thing Ever! My wife loses my bank and credit cards all the time. I think in the 5 years we’ve known each other I’ve counted 5 maybe even 6 times, that she’s done it. It’s quite a skill she has there! But this time, it actually ended up being a blessing in disguise! Listen to find out why. What did you think?

#027 - Paying Yourself First... Then What? This episode is a follow up to last weeks covering Paying Yourself First... a fundamental practice for all those wanting to be financially free.

#026 - Paying Yourself First. On this episode I’m explaining the concept of paying yourself first from a Facebook Live video I did earlier in the week in my Part Time Entrepreneurs Community (join in link below). One of the biggest issue I struggled with, and see others struggle with every day, is living hand to mouth and even running out of cash before payday, leading to missed bill payments (which have a negative effect on your credit file), having to go into debt, and even stress and anxiety. What if I told you it was easier than you thought to change that overnight? What if I said that by employing 2-3 minor changes to your financial life, you could not only never ever miss another bill payment, but never live above your means, and even get to the end of the month and had money left over to pay down your debt even more, or put extra funds into your investment or rainy day pots? In this episode I tell you how I’ve changed the way I run my personal finances to achieve those very goals, and as a result, I have taken control over my money. What did you think?

#25 - The Netflix Model to Social Media Success. Do you struggle to think up new ideas for content on your social media platforms? Do you not understand how others can post 3-4 (and more) times a day without breaking a sweat? Well, I too struggled (and still do from time to time) with this too. I felt like creating pictures, videos and posts for all my social media platforms was becoming almost a full time job, and actually, even worse, it was becoming a chore. And that’s when I came across the Netflix model. I’d read about something similar a few times in various articles, but no one had really made the direct leap from exactly what Netflix did to reach the status they are today, where they now, of course create a tonne of their own content, and how this exact same strategy can be implemented on social media to enable you to quickly grow a following, before creating your own content en mass. Listen to the episode to discover how Netflix were able to grow, and how this same strategy will help you grow your accounts on social media in a matter of weeks. What did you think?

Keep Hustling or Take a Break Last week I took my first bit of time off since my honeymoon to Canada last year. Although the honeymoon was a strick “no work zone” (or I may have had to deal with a divorce before we were even back!) as we were travelling around seeing the beautiful countryside that the west side of Canada has to offer, neither of us really “unwound” so to speak. So in reality, our week on the north Devon coast was the first time in a very look time that Emily and I truly had time to switch off and relax. I have to admit that before we went I was filled with anxiety about being out of the office. I’m only 3 months into a new position, and have been burned before whilst away on holiday (Once an ex-colleague of mine even planted something to get me into trouble because they were jealous of my position!), so was just a bit wary about loosening my grip on my work. To give myself credit I made sure that three separate people in the office were fully on top of the world load I had, and also, my boss told me he would offer extra support, so this made me feel better. Then there is the whole preaching hard work and hustle. Was I now going to turn my back on that for a week? Well the reality of it was the Emily and I had one of our best holidays ever. Spending time with her (when we are currently living a part to save money... as my followers will know) was amazing and also having a week with her family was an extra treat. The weather was great, I felt little pressure to constantly check my emails, and I genuinely relaxed for the first time in a while. And what was the result? I was able to take a step back and look at what I’d achieved in the last 6 months, what I planed to achieve in the next 6 and reflect a bit. This ultimately meant I was able to recharge and have a week of calm and I’ve now come back with a renewed spring in my step. If you had asked me my feelings on holidays a few weeks ago my answer would have been something along the lines of “don’t take them until you’ve achieved your goals”, but now I realise that taking a break from time to time will actually help you achieve those goals quicker. I’m not advocating now booking a string of holidays, but I’d highly recommend working some kind of chill time into your diary at some point as it certainly has had a positive effect on me!

Raising Your Own Start Up Captial When I started out on my journey to financial freedom, I made the assumption that at some point I would beee to raise funding through an investor or venture capitalist. What I’ve learned in the past few years, is that this really isn’t the case, and giving away a percentage of a company I’ve built, would ultimately always been an unbalanced deal as in the years to come, the amount anyone would be willing to invest in a start up, would never be enough for me to want to give away 10%, 15%, 20% or however much it would take to get the funds I would need. The “start up” was always a property company, whether that’s buying and selling or buying and renting. When I was learning about how to grow a property company, everyone was telling me to borrow money from investors, but now I’ve realised I believe it’s possible to grow your own. It was this epiphany that started the process for me to create my 4 pillars strategy, as I realised that the goal was to pay off all debt, and have a mix of passive income from property, and an investment pot that continues to grow with compounding. But I had to reverse engineer this to then figure out how to get those two pots. So they became pillars 3 and 4, so I needed 1 and 2 to create 3 and 4. And to create 3 and 4 without having to borrow any more money or sell a part of my company. What do you think?
