Growing Axon: From a Small Team to a Property Business
In this episode of Axons Unleashed, Robbie, Tamara and Dan continue the story of Axon Property Group’s early days, from moving the business out of Robbie and Tamara’s home to building a team capable of supporting more property investors. They discuss Dan’s transition from the ADF into the property industry, including his experience as an investor before joining Axon and how working behind the scenes changed his understanding of just how much research, analysis and coordination goes into developing a property strategy.
The episode also explores some of the realities of building a business from the ground up. Just as Dan was preparing to leave the military and join Axon, Robbie suffered a serious leg injury that left him unable to work at full capacity for several months. With a new office, a growing client base and a small team, everyone had to adapt quickly. The experience became an early test of the team’s resilience and highlighted the importance of having the right people, processes and shared commitment in place as the business continued to grow.
In this episode, the team discusses:
- Axon’s move from a home-based operation into its first dedicated office space.
- Dan’s experience investing in property while serving in the ADF and his eventual transition from military life into the property industry.
- Why being a property investor is very different from working within the industry and understanding the research and due diligence that happens behind the scenes.
- The importance of detailed research, planning and professional guidance when making property investment decisions.
- Why Axon needed to expand its team as the number of clients and complexity of the business grew.
- The behind-the-scenes training Dan completed before officially joining Axon and how this helped prepare him for his new role.
- How Robbie’s serious injury created an unexpected challenge during a critical period of Axon’s growth.
- The resilience, teamwork and adaptability required to keep the business and its client support moving forward during that period.
