Tons of old-school businesses shy away from reviews because they’re afraid of being slated. But user reviews (both public & private) are extremely powerful.

Whether it comes from Google, Trustpilot, or surveys, you need to know the good and the bad.

Sure, sales can look great on the outside. 

But without feedback, you wouldn’t get the whole picture. 

Customers might not be enjoying the full experience;

maybe they’re buying just because you’re the only option available.

If you’re confident with your products, you wouldn’t be afraid of feedback.

And even the best companies get bad reviews. The difference?

They use them as an opportunity for improvement.

About your host, Tej:

Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing. Soon after his second job… he was fired! A moment of relief and freedom was what he felt, not sure what his mother felt when he told her he was jobless at 23…

He then went in search of a more ethical path, a business he could set up where the reward was equal to the work put in. “If they are making pounds, why am I making pennies?” - was his thought process, not happy with slow progression and bureaucracy (& having to wear smart shoes everyday). This lead him to opening a Recruitment business (not sure where the ethics went) which doubled in profit every year, for 4 years. He hated it. Golden handcuffs they call it.

Fortunately, he used the cash he’d built up from that business, to educate himself in Property Investing. Soon, he’d stopped the business and transitioned into Property Investment full time. He then had a slow start -

Purchasing 15 properties in his first 9 months, using over £650,000 of Investor Finance, he built a £1,200,000 property portfolio and created £30,000 of profit from flips. This gave him ‘financial freedom’, but it was the most stressful period of his life. Growing quickly is very painful. He recently made £95,000 from two flips.

Let’s not forget that his Podcast grew to be the most-reviewed UK Property Podcast, peaking at 4,000 unique downloads per episode.

His Podcast (talks.com/">Tej Talks) now sits at 800,000 downloads in over 120 countries and has 500 reviews, rated 5/5.

Scrap that ‘New Year / January’ goal tradition because it’s never too late to set your goals.

My home refurb ate up tons of my time and made life crazy for the past few months.

So here I am, a tad late but finally kick-starting my 2023 goals.

Business, social media, and health:

3 of the major areas in my life I’m focusing on right now.

Buying businesses and flipping properties.

Growing my social media community.

Improving both my physical and mental health.

I’m going all out this year to build Tej Talks bigger than it’s ever been.

And I’m documenting everything.

Follow along to get more updates on this journey.

Dubai’s hyped so much as a hub for entrepreneurs and the Good Life. And when I went there many months ago to visit a friend’s event, I was taken aback.

I thought I was used to metropolises, having visited the bustling New York city and all. 

But Dubai can be a tad overwhelming if I’m being honest. I struggled the first few days to find peace. It really got to me how fast everyone moves and how massive everything is.

Needless to say, the architecture is absolutely incredible and the city is very clean. However, I felt like it’s somehow shallow and lacks soul and culture. Or maybe I just haven’t explored enough?

Have you been to Dubai? What do you think of the Gulf Tiger?

So why exactly did I drop my successful, lucrative recruitment business to enter the unknown of the property world?

If you’re new to Tej Talks, this podcast episode is the perfect way to get to know me and what I do. I’ve come a long way from getting fired at my pharmaceutical job to flipping properties making £100,000+ and building a brand.

I talked about the drive I had to find something more in my life: how I found properties a great investment that lets me make money while I sleep and the hell I went through to make it work.

And after all that, I’m shifting away from property. Why?

That question, and many more, in this episode with Savvy Wallet

Discover all of my stock investments in a single, in-depth video.

My investment strategy isn't solely based on analyzing boring numbers, ratios, or graphs. I’m old school, and I focus on fundamentals when evaluating potential purchases, with an eye towards long-term growth.

In addition to my hand-picked portfolio, I also share three of the automated investing platforms I use for some added diversification.

Everything, from my mistakes to my successes, transparently documented for you to see and learn from. 

BUT, I’m no finance expert (maybe someday?) and this is NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, so take it all with a grain of salt.

Refurbs, whether they’re for profit or for your home, are difficult, stressful, and tiring.

If you're refurbishing a property for profit, you may have to secure financing, work with investors, and pay them back on strict deadlines.

On the other hand, when you're refurbishing your own home, you're dealing with a unique set of issues that can get overwhelming very quickly.

I recently completed ‘’Project Home’’ - my very own home refurb - so I’ll be sharing all the issues that sprung up and the lessons I’ve learned.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or a first-time DIY-er, I’ll be providing you with valuable insights and tips to help you succeed in your own home refurbishment.

Buying your first business is a big step. It’s costly, it’s basically irreversible, and a huge decision for any entrepreneur.

I'm on the lookout for my first business, and I recently recorded this video where I give a walkthrough of what I look for when I consider purchasing one. 

But I make it a point to only do business that aligns with my principles.

So even though I’m looking at this profitable business in the health sector, I’m worried about ethics on this one. Is this an area of health that I should profit off of?

What do you think? I could really use a fresh perspective, so share your thoughts in the comment section.

Let me help you leave a good impression from the first viewing.

‘cos remember: you’re not only selling a house.

You’re selling a lifestyle — a story.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tej Talks has a new name. Same values, same Tej, but a whole new ambition.

The podcast has been wildly successful. Over 300 episodes, 912,000 listeners, 150 countries, and a 4.9* rating from 530+ reviews. How many of your favourite brands have a score like that?

Despite all that success, it’s time for a change.

It’s time to end this first season of Tej Talks (And bloody hell, it’s been a long season).

It’s time to shift my focus away from property and onto the bigger picture. 

Now, I’ll still be doing property deals, but I’m hands off! The Mainty Group will be the ones doing the heavy lifting.

And I’m really enjoying the mentoring side of property, so you’ll still see me around for that.

But,

It’s time we kick off season 2.

Tej Talks is now Being Better: Focusing on wealth, health, self improvement, buying businesses, and much, much more.
