Property as a Product: The Design Decisions That Increase Profit and Reduce Pain w/ Julian Maurice

Key Topics Covered: 1. Design as Custodianship, Not Decoration Julian explains that design is about how a property works, not just how it looks in photos. He links design to long term wealth planning: like pensions, it’s too important to leave entirely in someone else’s hands. The goal is performance over years: easy lettings, happy tenants, fewer repairs, and a product that holds value. 2. The Big Mindset Shift: Property Is a Business and a Product Julian challenges the word “investment” and suggests landlords are really buying a business. Each property is a living, breathing product that gets used, abused, and needs managing. If you don’t treat it like a business, it can quietly become a liability over five to ten years. 3. How Properties Become Liabilities Over Time Poor design and poor maintenance create a snowball effect: worse condition attracts worse tenants, which accelerates deterioration. Julian shares examples of developments becoming hard to sell or even “unmortgageable” due to maintenance and management issues. Legacy matters: many children don’t want property, so dumping a problematic asset onto them creates stress, not wealth. 4. Why You Can’t Abdicate Design to Architects and Builders Plans can pass planning and building regs but still be awful to live in. Common issues include impractical layouts, no storage, poor kitchen design, and bathrooms that don’t function properly. Julian introduces the “good, fast, cheap” triangle: you can pick two, but not all three, and landlords pay the price later if they chase cheap and fast. 5. Practical Design Thinking for HMOs and High Use Properties In HMOs, the room is the tenant’s home, so it must support multiple functions, not just sleep. Flow matters: kitchens, waste, smells, and shared spaces can make or break tenant experience and long term value. Lighting and electrics are often done to a builder’s default spec, but that can create uncomfortable living and higher churn. 6. Serviced Accommodation Is an Experience Business Short stay guests want something boutique and memorable, not copy and paste. Julian recommends living in your serviced accommodation for a week to spot friction points: heating controls, WiFi, TV, keys, lighting, and usability. Service quality affects reviews, and reviews affect profitability. He references research suggesting superhost status can significantly lift margins. 7. The Commercial Upside: Small Design Changes, Big Profit and Value Gains Julian shares an example where improving presentation helped increase rent by £150 per month, which translated into a major profit uplift. He highlights how many landlords don’t know their true profit margin, and confuse turnover with profit. Improving existing assets often delivers faster ROI than buying new ones, especially if older stock is dragging performance down. 8. How Julian Helps Investors: Training and Hands On Support Julian trains investors to become “design aware” and “design led” without needing to be designers. He offers remote consults (including Zoom based reviews), layout planning, electrical plans, materials specs, and project support via WhatsApp. His core message: be involved, be informed, and take control of the decisions that shape income and maintenance. Actionable Takeaways Treat each property like a business product, not a passive investment. Design for performance: durability, usability, flow, and maintenance, not just photos. Don’t assume architects and builders will design a home that works, review layouts with real living in mind. Audit your existing portfolio before buying more, older assets may be dragging your returns down. Know your numbers: profit margin, not just rent, and understand how small rent uplifts can multiply profit. For serviced accommodation, test the experience yourself and tighten service, reviews drive revenue. Adopt the custodian mindset: build assets your children would actually want to inherit.

Key Topics Covered:  1. Why Goal Setting Often Fails (and What’s Really Driving You)Everything you do day to day is largely driven by your subconscious mind.If you don’t set a clear goal, your subconscious will follow your dominant thought, which can lead to drift or self sabotage.The difference between achievers and non achievers is often whether they have a system for setting goals in a powerful way.2. Brian Main’s Story and the Origins of Goal MappingBrian grew up in a travelling funfair family, left school before 13, had dyslexia, and couldn’t read or write properly.After the family business collapsed, he faced repossession, major debt, and a very dark period personally.Personal development and goal setting became life changing, leading to the creation of Goal Mapping and a global coaching network.3. Why Words and Pictures Work Better Than Words AloneThe subconscious pays far more attention to images than to repeated written statements.Goal mapping combines clarity and precision (words) with subconscious impact (pictures).Brian explains why vision boards often fail: they may have pictures, but lack words, timelines, plans, and structure.4. The Seven-Step Goal Mapping ProcessDream: create a clear picture of successPriority: choose the main focusWhat: define the goals (often five on one map)Why: identify emotional reasons that keep you in the gameWhen: set start and target datesHow: map the key steps along the timelineWho: identify support and the qualities you must embody (for example “I am focused”)5. Daily Review, Brain States, and Making Goals “Stick”Brian recommends reviewing your map daily, ideally in the first hour after waking.This is when your brain is in alpha rhythm, with a much stronger connection to the subconscious.Reviewing daily for around 30 days helps form new neural connections and beliefs (brain cells that fire together, wire together).6. How to Write Goals So Your Subconscious Understands ThemAvoid negative goals like “I don’t want debt” or “I lose 15kg” because the subconscious struggles with “don’t” and abstract negatives.Write goals as affirmations: personal, positive, present tenseExamples: “I feel fantastic and free at 88kg” or “I am mortgage free”.7. Financial Goals: Getting Specific and Finding Your NumberFinancial freedom goals need a number, not vague phrases like “I’m abundant”.WealthBuilders’ approach: design your perfect year, price it up, then divide by 12 to estimate your monthly recurring income target.The number can evolve, but having a destination helps you measure the gap and build a plan.Actionable Takeaways:Use a system, not willpower: goal achievement improves when the goal is set clearly and reviewed consistently.Combine words and pictures to speak to both your logical mind and subconscious mind.Review your goal map daily, ideally in the first hour after waking, for at least 30 days.Write goals in personal, positive, present tense and focus on what you want, not what you don’t want.For financial goals, pick a specific number based on the lifestyle you want, then build a plan around it.Resources & Next StepsGoal Mapping: Create a free goal mapDownload our FREE Pensions and Inheritance Tax GuideWealthBuilders Membership: Free access to guides, webinars, and communityConnect with Us:Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms.Next Steps On Your WealthBuilding Journey:  Join the WealthBuilders Facebook CommunitySchedule a 1:1 call with one of our teamBecome a member of WealthBuildersIf you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!

Key Topics Covered: 1. Why the Family Wealth Fortress, Why Now Inheritance tax on pensions from April 2027 is forcing families to rethink legacy planning. “High net worth” is now effectively £1m plus once pensions are included, meaning far more families are exposed. Many people have a patchwork of advice and products that is hard to coordinate, hard to optimise, and hard for executors to manage. 2. From Patchwork Quilt to Fortress Thinking The goal is to make wealth transfer elegant, organised, and resilient for the next generation. Kevin frames this as moving from wealth abundance into legacy, with a clear process rather than “hinting” at legacy planning. WealthBuilders positions itself as the central coordinator, like a “wealth GP”, bringing specialists in when needed. 3. The Seven Integrations (The Fortress Framework) Tax: proactive “event led” planning, especially inheritance tax, not just annual returns. Legal: wills, powers of attorney, protection, and avoiding disputes such as contentious probate. Financial: building wealth is not enough, families need planning for protection and perpetuation too. Structures: holding companies, family investment companies, trusts, share classes, and intergenerational planning. SSAS and pensions: using family pension structures, earmarking, and cascading to reduce future inheritance tax impact. Recurring income: inheritance tax is on capital not income, so understanding income enables smarter gifting. Legacy: involving the next generation early through trusteeship, shareholding, and participation in the family plan. 4. Record Keeping, Gifting, and the Digital Vault Families need clear documentation to avoid confusion, delays, and challenges after death. Kevin highlights using intention and execution records (for example IHT documentation) to reduce HMRC risk. A digital vault brings tax, legal, financial, structures, and gifting records into one accessible place for executors. 5. Who It’s For and How to Take the First Step This is application based, limited capacity, and aimed at families typically 55 plus with estates around £1m plus. It is designed to be implemented over 3 to 5 years, still broken down into manageable steps. A practical first move is using the free inheritance tax calculator to understand your current exposure.   Actionable Takeaways: Don’t assume your current advice is joined up, check how tax, legal, financial and structures connect. Start planning for inheritance tax now, especially with pensions being included from April 2027. Move from reactive planning to proactive “event led” planning for key life events. Get your documentation organised and accessible, so executors are not left guessing. Involve the next generation earlier, so wealth transfer includes wisdom, not just money. Take the first step by using the IHT calculator and booking a conversation if the fortress approach fits your situation.   Resources & Next Steps: WealthBuilders 'The Family Wealth Fortress' Download our FREE Pensions and Inheritance Tax Guide WealthBuilders Membership: Free access to guides, webinars, and community   Connect with Us: Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms.   Next Steps On Your WealthBuilding Journey:   Join the WealthBuilders Facebook Community Schedule a 1:1 call with one of our team Become a member of WealthBuilders If you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!

Key Topics Covered:  1. Starting Point: Mindset and MotivationTom’s journey was sparked by personal catalysts: his mother’s passing and a desire to be present for his young daughters.The importance of defining your “why” and setting clear financial milestones.Facing the reality of relying solely on a job for income—and using that as motivation for change.2. Laying the Foundations and Building PillarsTom and his wife began by securing wills, powers of attorney, and reviewing their finances to ensure a solid foundation (“the roof”).They chose property as their initial wealth-building pillar, focusing on buy-to-let for simplicity and sustainability.The process took time—over 12–18 months for their first deal—but commitment and clarity paid off.3. Momentum and the Power of RepetitionThe first property was the hardest, but each subsequent deal became easier as confidence and experience grew.Tom now owns 15 properties, primarily in the Bristol area, and has diversified into investments and other wealth pillars.Monthly recurring income from assets reached £6,000+, providing true freedom of choice.4. The Role of Coaching and CommunityTom credits his WealthBuilders coaches (especially Ian Halfpenny) for challenging his assumptions, providing guidance, and keeping him accountable.Support from family, coaches, and the WealthBuilders community was crucial—especially during setbacks like the pandemic.Taking massive action, even when uncomfortable, was key to overcoming obstacles and building momentum.5. Looking Ahead: Diversification and Giving BackWith financial independence achieved, Tom is now exploring more advanced property projects and investment strategies.He’s passionate about sharing his experience and encouraging others to take consistent action—one step every month. Actionable Takeaways:Commit to the process and focus on one strategy until you gain traction.Secure your financial “roof” (wills, powers of attorney, expense review) before building assets.Don’t underestimate the value of coaching, community, and accountability.Take one small action every month—compound progress leads to big results.Diversify your income streams once you’ve built a secure base.Don’t DIY your wealth journey—get support and don’t give up when it gets tough. Resources & Next Steps:Book a Financial GPS Call for a personal financial strategy session.WealthBuilders Membership: Free access to guides, webinars, and communityDownload our FREE Pensions and Inheritance Tax GuideConnect with Us:Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms.Next Steps On Your WealthBuilding Journey:  Join the WealthBuilders Facebook CommunitySchedule a 1:1 call with one of our teamBecome a member of WealthBuildersIf you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!
