Everyone is taught to have pride in their work, their appearance and all that they do. We all fiercely promote ourselves and our products – but does that create too much arrogance and ego – in many ways yes it does.⠀

Brighton is full of it. Everyone in property wants to be a ‘face’ – a someone. The opposite of this is being a ‘no-mark’ – a no one. Most developers are fiercely proud and are not able to back down on anything – and this gets in the way of business.⠀

I have always worked by the mantra of ‘cooperation not competition’ – an abundance mindset that there is enough to go around, but to work like this I am constantly dealing with and often manipulating egos!⠀

I see this writ large in the wider community. There is too much ego, jealousy and petty insecurity in property. I have been guilty of it and have for some time been trying to change.⠀
