“Progressives' vision is to help as many people on the planet invest freedom, choice and profit. We’ll keep doing that as long as we can and not quit”   Join the co-founders of Progressive Property, Rob Moore and Mark Homer as they celebrate the 15 year anniversary of Progressive! Rob and Mark have made hundreds of deals, navigated through recessions, highs and many lows, constantly having to innovate and change to remain relevant and prosperous. They also talk about their favourite moments, who and what inspires them and what the next steps for themselves and Progressive will be.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Like many businesses, Rob, Mark and the various Progressive companies, have had to adapt and pivot to manage through covid. Their ability to adapt, willingness to evolve and foresight has allowed them to not just survive during the pandemic, but thrive. The biggest thing that has impacted Progressive in the past and continues to do so, is government changes; including introducing new laws, regulations and planning regulations. The renting landscape is changing. There is more and more demand for residential properties and the standard is also shifting. Such as included amenities and the high quality finish that is being created and found in rental properties. Neither Rob or Mark envisioned the place they are at today. They could easily retire off their property portfolio alone, excluding the income they receive from their other businesses. The journey to becoming the biggest training company was exciting but the challenge has been staying there. People are constantly trying to steal Progressives ideas, trainers and everything else! They have to be ahead of the game to remain at the top. Rob and Mark have never wanted to quit the Progressive journey. Of course they have had their share of challenging and difficult times but they have always had faith in property and in themselves, to keep moving forward. Progressives visions is to help as many people as they can, to invest for freedom, choice and profit. They have helped thousands of people to date, Rob and Mark don’t celebrate this often enough! To key being a successful entrepreneur is remaining unsatisfied; you have to always be striving for more. It’s essential to have complimentary skills with a business partner. This is how Rob and Mark have been able to work together so successfully for so many years. The government have a lot of power; this is the most valuable lesson that Rob and Mark have learnt since the start of the Progressive journey. They cost Progressive the most and they also impact them the most with many regulations and changes they make. Key to overcoming these challenges is the fact Rob and Mark have kept Progressive Nimble, with good cashflow and surrounded themselves with the right professionals to navigate any changes that impact Progressive. Life is for living, we all only get one life. It’s important to always remember that. This is one of the things that drives Rob through life and BEST MOMENTS “You do get passive income but you also get active problems” “All these changes have been sped up over the past couple of years” “I learned a lot from Mark in those early years to catch up…once I started to believe in myself I started to think we could do everything” “It’s got to be about our customers and our tenants, and our investors and our community” “It was always property first, before training and course…you can’t teach what you don’t know” “One of the biggest lessons for me is to stay nimble, keep plenty of cash” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.
