Why are people so unkind..?
Posted by admin on Mar 14, 2012 in Blog, Success | 1 comment
If you are around my vintage, you’ll immediately recognise who made that statement. No, it wasn’t Gandhi, Martin Luther King or Mother Teresa. It was a guy called Kamahl. Famous for… I forget… It’s irrelevant anyway. But why am I telling you this? Kony 2012. I can’t believe how predictably ridiculous human psychology is. Three brave men, filled with passion, heart and soul sacrificed their sanity, their time and their lives working to bring this one single cause to the attention of the world. For seven years...

What ever happened to the Armageddon-style Global Financial Crisis Mark II. You know the one… The double dip recession that we were meant to have. The end of America…. leading to the end Europe and the the euro zone. Which would bring China down and lead to the end of prosperity as we know it here at home in Australia. I’m still waiting… But as yet, nothing. Have the doomsayers got it wrong? Have the press over cooked the fear mongering? Is the world in a far better place than even most economist realise? Speaking of...

Unbelievable! The market has fallen by a staggering 5.2% and the All Ords sits at 3,778 points this morning. …So far, a 15% drop in 7 days… 25% since April! But – as bad as the news is, we have seen it all before, right? What’s currently going on only happened a couple of years ago. Same scenario, the great recession of 2009 is back. So what is likely to happen going forward? Look, nobody really knows… But here’s a few certainties. We’re going to see the RBA seriously look at interest rates and act...

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “time is money” – well money is also time. In fact, the understanding of this inversed truth is one of the best realizations you can have when it comes to time and money. See, the only thing you have in life is time. From the moment of your first breath at birth, the clock starts ticking. The sands start to fall down the hour glass. The fuse of your life was lit and starts to burn down. You landed on a spinning orb whipping around the sun at a rate of 16,000 miles an hour. ...

You want to jump on a hot trend? Easy. Find out what the rich are doing with their hard-earned money and copy them. Here’s a good example… James Packer recently bank-rolled two online retailers to the tune of $80 million. …and that wasn’t even enough to buy the whole company, he ended up with 40% of it, valuing it at $200 million. Now you’d think that company would be a US-based business, but in fact it was a little, old Australian outfit called, Catch of the Day. So, the hot trend at the moment is online...

I like to send you this stuff from time to time… …but I can’t send you all of the research that I’m across, simply because some of it I pay thousands for – and if they knew that I am giving away, I’d get into heaps of trouble. However, as I bank with ANZ, I did ask permission to get this out. Obviously they said, yes. That was four weeks ago, so sorry for the hold up. So what’s it all about? It’s a report on the banks internal view of real estate. Now, considering they’ve got the most to...
read more#1 Reason Why the Real Estate Market Has “Stalled”
Posted by admin on Apr 13, 2011 in Property Investing | 2 comments
Affordability… Apparently that’s why the real estate market has stalled. The argument is quite simple, most people can’t afford to drum up the deposit and on top of that pay the mortgage. Not a new challenge, I’ve heard all of that before – I’m sure you have too. Now the way the media is carrying on, you would think that this has never before happened in history and that it’s a new phenomena. …all conspiring with a media-lead conclusion, that the real estate market is going to crash....

This report came across my desk a couple of weeks ago and I thought it’d be great to send it to you. The title of the report is… > Investment returns from rental housing in Melbourne, 1998-2009 > Department of Human Services Victoria Now I know it’s Melbourne-centric, but regardless of what State you live in, it really does show you how property has consistently performed over the last 11 years. …note, that when it was finished off, it would not have included a large chunk of 2009 which was a big year in the Melbourne...

I’m constantly asked about the secret of success. You know, it’s never one thing, but a combination of many different aspects… But at the top of my list are two things. #1. There are no failures – only results. #2. A results person never quits. Ok, they’re pretty simple. But what I’ve learnt is that success is largely hanging on and learning from your mistakes after others have quit. I’ve always studied successful people and what I’ve found is that they’ve always made plenty of mistakes,...
