91 – Turning around a struggling property development career

Getting your first development project underway is an exciting time. Until the wheels start to fall off and it looks ugly, what happens then? How do you turn things around and kick start a fledgling developing career that has stalled?

Baheer Komak really struggled to get some traction with his property developing and his first project, a small 3 unit site was almost a total disaster before he turned it around by changing course.

Baz is now running multiple development projects and has come a long way since selling his small business and making the leap into property.

In this chat we cover how mentoring transformed how Baz approached developing, some differences between project types and the unusual decision making process that led him to take up property developing.

This conversation will be inspiring for anyone that is struggling with a sticky project and wanting to take their developing to the next level, as Baz is an example of how you can go from zero to something significant in a few, short years.
