KEY TAKEAWAYS
Rob spent much of his formative years on the road, making his way from country to country, ultimately visiting 45 nations on his way to finding himself. On returning from his travels, he was determined to change his life for the better and found a business venture of his own.
A leverage lifestyle will mean different things to different people. For some, it’s financial freedom. For others, it’s about balance and family, while for others it might be the freedom to travel or enjoy life at their own pace.
It is vitally important to make sure you have a strong team – one of the main issues for those in the property business, and any business for that matter, can be when you are let down by your team and have to pick up the pieces yourself. Having a power team you can trust behind you who can take responsibility for sudden cracks in the business will ensure that your venture can continue with limited issues when problems arise.
Separate yourself from the operations gradually. It isn’t beneficial to anyone to drop everything at once. Rob recommends stepping away for one day a week, then two and slowly build up to your freedom. This will allow your power team and operations to acclimatise to their new responsibilities.
Focus is extremely important, especially in the beginning. It is all about identifying your values and goals and focusing on your strategy and sticking to it.
Catherine’s business’ mission statement is “Empowering people to live the life of their dreams.” This is a purposefully broad statement that allows Catherine to operate in any way she chooses (podcasting, networking), but always with the same aim. By creating the lifestyle of her dreams, Catherine is now able to focus more of her time into her passion, namely sustainability and global concerns.
Both Catherine and Rob stress the importance of learning from others, whether that’s a mentor, or even someone you simply admire in business. By learning from the path they’ve walked, we can save ourselves the pain of learning the hard way.
You are 100% responsible for everything that happens in your life. This can be terrifying to some, especially to those who prefer to see themselves as a victim. But it’s also a very powerful message that can have an extraordinarily empowering effect on your life. Use it as a spur to kick-start your dream life as soon as possible.

ABOUT THE GUEST
Catherine is the host of iTunes No. 1 Podcast; Leveraged Lifestyle, entrepreneur, businesswoman, an Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Co-Director of Ideal-Collective.com and a mum of 2!
Catherine quit being an employee in 2013, after working an average of 50+ hours per week in over 3 jobs. Jobs, hours and a lifestyle which led to a diagnosis of clinical depression before the age of 25.
In 2011/12 Catherine discovered the power of investing in property, and tried many different property investment strategies over the years, finally settling on Serviced Accommodation in 2015, which has now grown from one unit in her home town of Chelmsford, Essex to over 50 across the UK, helping investors, landlords and developers create a better return on their money or property.
This year, Catherine and her husband and business partner, Stephen, joined forces with the Directors of LoLite Homes to create the Ideal-Collective.com, which is all about leveraging the services and knowledge of all four Directors when it comes to Serviced Accommodation, Social Media, Finance & Virtual Assistants.
Catherine started Leveraged Lifestyle podcast to give business owners and those not leading their ideal lifestyle, the opportunity to learn the mindset and skill set it takes to create a lifestyle of Freedom, by leveraging time, money & knowledge and using outsourcing and systemisation.
