This episode of the Airbnb Blueprint podcast is a bit different. Today, instead of focusing on the practicalities of building a business, Alex talks about the essence of life itself. He invites you all to pause and think about the deeper question – Why are we here? He is doing this because properly answering that question for yourself and using as a guide is actually important to your personal and business success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Pursuing material wealth alone, as society teaches us to do, often leads to dissatisfaction.
Money is a tool that facilitates things, not the ultimate goal. Money cannot buy you the most important things in life e.g. fulfilling relationships.
Passion drives more sustainable success than purely pursuing monetary rewards does.
Constantly chasing material possessions is a trap. Prioritise personal fulfilment over status symbols that bring only transitory joy.
Align your work with your passions. When you do that, the money naturally follows. The fact you are enthusiastic makes it easy to work well and succeed.
Reflect deeply on your life's purpose and make choices that align with your core values.
Focus on creating meaningful impact, not just income.
Value your time, it is the most precious thing you have.
Building a legacy brings long-term satisfaction.
Don't let external validation drive you.
Future-proof your business.
Think outside the box and explore other ways to derive income from your skills e.g. lead generation.
BEST MOMENTS"Money might buy you a beautiful house, but it can't buy you a fulfilling life.""How much of what we're chasing is about how others perceive us, rather than how we feel about ourselves?"“The more we compare ourselves to others, the more unsatisfied we become…we give away our power.”“We let societal expectations steer and dictate our path, taking the choices out of our own hands.”"Life is short, and the only currency we have is time, and it's the only thing that money can't buy."

HOST BIOS
Alex & Pooh have built a portfolio of over 16 Serviced Accommodation Units and 10 Buy-To-Lets collectively over the last 5 years. -
This AirBnB Business has allowed each of them to create their own tailor-made ‘lifestyle by design.’
Pooh chose to escape the corporate life as an electrical engineer instead to spend his time at home with his young and growing family, and Alex likes to spend most of his time in sunny Spain enjoying his love for road cycling or even hiking in the Tramuntana mountain ranges.
