Alex reveals exactly how he would rebuild from scratch if he woke up tomorrow with nothing but £500 in his bank account. No clients, no brand, no systems, no properties—just a laptop, a phone, and the determination to make it work.

He breaks down the “Connector Model” step by step, showing how to source demand, build supply, and secure bookings that can generate £5,000/month in commission—without owning or managing a single property.

If you’ve ever thought you need money, a logo, or a fancy website before you can start, this episode will show you why action, clarity, and trust matter more than anything else.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You don’t need a logo, website, or branding to start—you just need to take action.
• Adopt the Connector mindset: money is made by linking people who need accommodation with those who have it.
• Start with demand: focus on contractors, councils, relocation teams, and agencies who are booking accommodation right now.
• Build a hit list of decision makers (not just “info@” emails) and reach out with clear, professional messaging.
• Secure hosts by offering direct bookings and a 15% commission structure.
• Use simple tools—Google Sheets, Google Forms, email templates—to look professional fast.
• One or two solid bookings can bring in thousands in commission.
• Trust and consistent communication are the foundations of a scalable business.
• Don’t overcomplicate—refine the process, stay consistent, and momentum will carry you forward.

BEST MOMENTS

“I’m not a landlord, I’m not an agent, I’m not a host. I’m a connector.”

“If I can get just one client to send me a requirement this week, I can fill it and start making money now.”

“You don’t need to wait—you can make serious money this month just by being the bridge.”

“Momentum is your most valuable currency when you’re starting from nothing.”

“Trust is everything. The moment it’s broken, everything gets harder. But when it’s built, your business becomes effortless.”
