James, thank you for this. I have been watching you for some time, I believe you are the most undervalued channel I have seen on KZfaq. I am 22 years old, I have recently set-up my own property company, I am training to be a lawyer. Business excites me, building teams, companies, and problem solving excites me. My goal is to build a group of companies worth £100MM before I die. To have someone like you, who has been there and done it, is invaluable. Thank you.

I don’t really do training as a business, it’s a few days a year to make content. I don’t think it’s a great business model. I charge a few hundred pounds to come to a seminar and put on some events. The drive is to create a personal brand to open doors for my trading businesses. The real NO NO with a training business is it’s a key person business that is around one person’s personality ( me in this case ) which means you can’t sell it.

The fact that there is already an excessive amount of demand awaiting its absorption, despite how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, is another reason why it is less likely to occur that way. 2008 saw no one, at least not the broad public, making this forecast, as I'll explain below. The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of 2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.

Catherine Morrison Evans’ has been my go-to for market insights. She doesn't manage my investments; instead, I mirror her trades, which has been a great learning experience. Her knack for timing and understanding market trends is uncanny. Honestly, without her, I'd still be stumbling in the dark.

I always see one big problem with stuff like this. It always seems like in these videos everyone should be able to do this. But how is that possible. The end goal is to always automate the work away. So just to support one investor or entrepreneur you need like at least 5 to 10 people doing all the other work. With that in mind its impossible for everyone to have passive income because someone always has to do the work. Well until AI but that's a wild card. So all in all it's less about the know how (even though thats important) and more of being in the right place at the right time (having the right connections/ getting lucky and working hard). I mean sure do everything in the video to increase your likely hood in success. But it's literally impossible for everyone to do this, because if everyone did, then there would be no one to do the work.

Very useful and motivating. I wanted to highlight one of your comments was mts something like " buildit it to be able to sell even if you don't want to" i believe that for the majority of us that is a very important point. that might even apply if you are looking for investors down the line. after all, they want to "exit" a great book on this topic that was "built to sell" Thanks for all your videos
