“Dan is an absolute master of commercial property”
In this episode, the roles are reversed as Dan is interviewed by Ellie Mckay!
They discuss Dan's career, focusing on his wealth of experience in commercial property, his entrepreneurial spirit and his resilience!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Making deals isn't just about creating wealth but also about adding value. There are lots of creative things you can do make a successful acquisition, adding value along the way.
- Both Dan's parents were in business themselves so it's something he grew up around. He never wanted to just get a 9-5 office job, he was always destined to be an entrepreneur and work for himself.
- After Dan's first business venture, a donut kiosk, he gained experience in failure early on including a restaurant and a Ted Baker franchise. He then got into property, starting by flipping commercial properties into residential and it was something he was very good at!
- As a young businessman, Dan received mentorship and guidance, both free and paid. It was invaluable for him at the time and he attributes some of his early success to this.
- Almost all entrepreneurs go through a struggle, a time where they could lose everything. Dan says you must pick yourself back up and do everything in your power to keep going. Dan also believes that this make or break situation for him was both his biggest lesson and his biggest business gift; it made him recognise and realise how to gain control and make deals more valuable and more secure.
- Personal development is so important for any individual, especially in business. It helps you become more resilient as well as gain an understanding of yourself, including your downfalls and how you can become a better version of you.
- Technology and working with people are two things that Dan loves and gets excited about. Combining these with his creativity is how he keeps making successful deals, stays motivated and continues enjoying everything he does.
- Imagine the investment you are considering in ten years' time then work backwards to now. Is it a worthy investment that will stand the test of time?
