071 - Is Success Actually Predictable?

<p><strong>"How to make it in very unpredictable times"</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this next official Property Entrepreneur podcast, I'm going to explore with a very good friend of mine, is success and failure actually very predictable in very unpredictable times?</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ant Lyons, a long standing friend of mine and the founder and editor of YPN magazine, reached out to me recently and asked “For 10 years, you've been saying success and failure are both very predictable.
