Touchstone UK: Your Guide to London’s Top Real Estate Conference 🏡

Okay, it’s soon going to be Springtime

so it’s more property conference along the way.

And when it comes to business, marketing, and real estate conferences,

nothing presses the pedal quite as hard as LONDON does.

So here it is, another Real Estate / Property Conference

delivered by masters in the industry-

TOUCHSTONE EDUCATION UK.

We are not affiliated ok.

One word for the scared people out there,

when it comes to live conferences like this,

there’s going to be alot of face-to-face networking.

People will be swapping business cards front, back, and centre.

If you just observe, there will be alot of inflated egos about,

which for most people is what drives them to hate going to conferences like this.

For you, no need to join this pompous show of sorts,

be the observer.

You are here to learn not to do business straightaway.

You are not here to be the social media king and queen,

mind you there’s alot of these types of people in these conferences,

they make me sick lol.

Enough on the rant, let’s dive in.

As with most business or property conference,

it’s almost always a 2-day event.

Alot of them happen on the weekends

to accommodate the needs of busy professionals and business people

who have to attend to their businesses during the week.

LONDON BRIDGE STATION

Welcome to the London Bridge Rail Station.

Its been recently revamped so its looking like

a shopping mall + airport that’s underground lol.

That’s the information board for the overground train

that services communities going outside Central London.

If you want to wander around Central London,

the quickest way is to get in the tube (underground train).

You can also take the London Red Buses

but if you are beating time, use the tube.

London Bridge Station, London Victoria Station, and London St. Pancras International

are some of the major London Train Stations.

London St. Pancras can take you to Paris, France by train

in an underground/underwater train in a few short hours.

No need to take a flight to Paris if you hate going through Airport Security.

Ok, that’s enough for holiday talk, let’s get into the venue shall we?

If you want to wander around this station,

you can see the Shard London, perhaps one of the tallest in UK.

It resembles a piece of broken glass (thus Shard).

ADDRESS: 32 London Bridge St, London SE1 9SG

The Shard offers great 360 degree views

of the whole of London and beyond.

It also houses offices, retail arcade, bars & restaurants,

and the Shangri-La Hotel.

If you really to make the most of your Shard experience,

you have to dedicate one night for the views with the whole of London beautifully lit.

Fore more information, visit https://www.the-shard.com/

This is the view outside London Bridge station.

No need to get out to catch the tube though, this is just a side trip.

We’re now on the platform waiting to board the tube.

Before you go underground make sure you know which platform you are taking

because Google maps wont work underground,

unless you’re with a mobile network that works underground

which I think O2 and Three provides- not sure.

Better be on the safe side.

If in doubt, ask the officers on duty,

you’ll know them because they’re on uniforms.

Of course, not alot of people here today because its the weekend.

If you come here during the weekday rush hour,

you wont even have room to take photos lol.

LONDON REAL ESTATE/ PROPERTY CONFERENCE BY TOUCHSTONE EDUCATION

We have arrived at the venue.

And of course, they have already started.

I hate making such a grand entrance

so just really sneak your way in slowly and not disturbing others.

Was lucky that they let me in.

In other conferences, you’ll have to wait for their coffeebreak for them to let you in.

People do keep time here,

unlike in other countries I know of lol.

The one now presenting in front is the lovely Mr. Paul Smith

(not related to the Paul Smith London perfumes lol).

He is the founder and lead trainer for Touchstone Education UK.

Touchstone Education is dedicated to Real Estate/Property

and Wealth Creation and Wealth Building Education.

To learn more, visit https://www.touchstoneeducation.co.uk/

The people attending here are mostly London professionals

who are wanting to get out of their stressful work-life imbalance lol

and really looking to get into property on a more serious level.

Some are here to expand their property portfolios,

meaning they are already into property thus looking to joint venture (JV)

with other investors.

Usually, their projects are housing developments,

student and residential flats,

and a few residential/commercial conversions.

‘The Secret of Change is to focus all of your energy,
not on fighting the old, but on building the new’-
SOCRATES

Wow that’s such in time for the new decade you agree?

Most of the work really starts in the mind.

Some people focus so much on networking

while their philosophy is not yet refined.

They really do end up getting that ‘impostor syndrome’–

when you are suffering from an impostor syndrome,

maybe you are one lol.

Not so much on networking folks,

focus on building your MINDSET first,

the rest will really follow, with time.

Most people are really impatient to let time do its work,

so in turn they network alot to cover up for that shortcoming.

As Bishop TD Jakes said, ‘Quality Takes Time and You are God’s Masterpiece‘.

Beautiful!

These people really network like there’s no tomorrow lol.

The woman presenting in front was a former British Telecom (BT) Executive

who left her CORPORATE job to go into property full-time

and to teach in Touchstone Education part-time.

Her story is commonplace in London,

corporate employees and executives jumping ship

to leave their stressful lives and live a more sort of

a more peaceful and mindful existence.

Presenting now in front with Mr. Paul Smith

is the very humble Mr. Jonathan.

Perhaps, if you meet him on the streets outside you will look down on him

as a humble retiree on his jumper and jeans.

When you learn the extent of his property portfolio

and his business interests in London’s Belgravia and beyond,

you’d want to strip off your airs lol.

It pays to be humble, you never know who is really in front of you.

This man, despite having his multi-million pound property portfolio in London

shares that he still does look after his small shop to keep his mind busy.

For him, he is not the type to lounge around the Caribbean

or the Mediterranean despite all the money he got.

Some people are really born workaholic,

not because they need to but because that is how they feel alive.

Apart from property, this man sells private jets.

Say no more lol.

He really reminds me of Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs.

Perhaps birds of the same feathers do really flock together.

BUFFET LUNCH COURTESY OF TOUCHSTONE EDUCATION

This is a free buffet lunch provided by Touchstone Education UK

for the conference attendees. Nice!

Of course, this is now the time to use your interpersonal skills,

there’s no escaping it.

When you are attending live events like this, just be yourself,

but with a bit of showmanship.

It would really be awkward not even to talk to the person

or people at your table will it?

These people will really make you feel uncomfortable if you are just faking it.

London crowd can smell BS 10 miles away lol.

These real estate crowd are like Agent 007 (James Bond).

They will shoot your plane down lol.

Now on to lunch, Buon Appetito!

WALKING AROUND LONDON

After grinding it out for the last 2 days,

you really can’t process anything serious anymore.

This is now the best time to walk around London because as it is Springtime,

you get to enjoy warmer and sunnier climes.

Alot of those people will really go to the pub, bars, or restaurants

to continue their post-conference networking.

If you’re introverted,

you can just about manage pockets of socialising hours.

More than that, it’s like receiving death threats lol.

We are now walking along Oxford Street,

London’s shopping high street.

If you continue walking south, you’ll soon join Bond Street

which houses more upmarket brands.

This magnificent block along Oxford Street

(don’t confuse it with the location of Oxford University lol,

you’re nowhere near it) is Selfridges.

Address: 400 Oxford St, Marylebone, London W1A 1AB

It was founded by Harry Gordon Selfridge in 1908.^[1]

The flagship store on London‘s Oxford Street is the second largest shop in the UK

(after Harrods) and opened 15 March 1909.

Of course, London is not as boring as this lol, quite the opposite.

Every Christmas season, London is transformed to a Winter Wonderland.
