Listen "Get comfort being uncomfortable "
Episode Synopsis
Over the course of this year, one thing keeps coming up in these conversations — people get into property to create more time and freedom for themselves and their families.This week’s guest, James Doran, is a perfect example of that. When his marriage began to crumble and the long shifts on the oil rigs kept him away from his three kids, James knew something had to change.In 2018, he took on a mentor and made the leap into property. He admits he wasn’t fully ready to go full-time — the business side of working for yourself takes some learning — but as he puts it, you find the best version of yourself when your back’s against the wall.Fast forward to late 2025, and James has found his stride. The confidence that was once missing has now turned into one of his biggest strengths — especially when it comes to networking. He now sees his network as his greatest asset, a theme that comes up time and again across every 83 conversation.You’ll also hear how both James and I take time out every Sunday to plan the week ahead — a reset that sets the tone and builds the mindset to attack the week with purpose. It’s a simple but powerful habit that keeps the accountability sharp and the progress steady.Another great chat, full of honesty, lessons, and the reminder that accountability and consistency are where the wins come from.Until next week,Best regards
