Welcome to the first issue of our new look Affluencia newsletter.  

Each week we'll be sharing with you tips, tools and strategies to help you on your property investing journey.  We'll also bring you inspiration from other ladies in our Five Minutes With... section.

We'd love to hear from you - drop us an email and share your thoughts.  If you have a burning property question, let us know and we'll endeavour to provide an answer in a future newsletter.

The Festive Season 

At this time of year, with Christmas fast approaching, investing in property is likely to be the last thing on your mind. The kids might be going into exam time at school, there are Christmas presents to think about, family gatherings to plan for, and work always seems to move up a gear in the rush to get things done before the festive break. Here's the thing, Christmas is the perfect time to be thinking about investing in property. Why? Find out below.

Our October event about discovering how to profit through Real Estate was, in a word, "amazing".  The day was packed full of information from some of Australia's most knowledgeable property experts.  We had so much fun, we're set to do it all again in March 2009.  Scroll down to find out more.

Until next week, happy investing!

Christmas Bargains

Who knew that the rush time of Christmas was the perfect time to invest in property? We did! At Affluencia, we know that going into the summer sales season, vendors don't want to worry about having unsold properties hanging around into the New Year. That means, in the lead up to Christmas, you could land yourself a bargain, simply by being prepared and taking action.

As Christmas approaches, do your homework. Work out where you want to buy - see our main article below for tips on how to spot the next boom town - and get your finance in place so that you're ready to pounce on a bargain. We're even being given a helping hand thanks to a few recent interest rate cuts.    

If you need more help on how to get started in property, scroll up for more details on Affluencia's proven step-by-step mentoring program.

The next boom town... how to spot it

Ever wondered how some property investors are always in the right spot at the right time, just before a suburb booms? What do they know that you don't?

So why not take a leaf out of their book: Look, listen, then act!

  • What to look for:Where is the next Bunnings Warehouse being built? Their website shows you where they plan to build the next warehouse.
  • Child care centres. Where are child care centres and the like looking to establish their next facility?
  • Fast food chains. Does your target area have a KFC or McDonald's? Is one on the way?
  • Supermarkets. Are Coles or Safeway planning on moving into the area?

The secret is to follow the 'big boys'. Where are the big companies spending money? Where is the government channeling funds and allocating budgets to build better roads, community facilities like schools and create transportation hubs?

Governments and large companies allocate huge sums of money to researching demographics and population trends. They are constantly looking for the next area to establish a presence. Their opportunity can be your opportunity.

Large corporations have entire departments devoted to pin-pointing where they should locate their next outlet. Their budgets are far greater than you could ever spend doing the same research, and they have more people available to compile the data.

Five Minutes with...

Joanna Martin from SecretsOfSellingFromStage.com

Question 1             
What has been your biggest challenge in business and how did you overcome it?

My biggest challenge has been and continues to be too many opportunities.  Every time I set a direction in my business the universe throws a million new opportunities and we have to keep our wits about us to keep on track.  Greg and I continually ask ourselves: "Does this get us closer to our goals or is it a BSO (Bright Shiny Object)!"

Question 2
If you had to start your business again from scratch, what would you do differently?

I would make my domain name shorter! And maybe take "selling" out of the product name.  Aussies aren't afraid of selling, but the Poms seem to think its evil!

Question 3
Who do you admire and why?

Oprah Winfrey for her incredible ability to wear the mantle of the world's most powerful woman with grace.  Sure she has had her moments, but for a woman of her standing she has had far fewer than she ought.

Question 4
It takes a lot of determination and dedication to succeed in business.  What keeps you motivated?

Different things on different days to be honest. Some days it is my clients who I can't let down, sometimes it is love of my partner Greg and giving him the security he needs; sometimes it's the thought of creating a passive income stream so that when we start our family I can actually hang out with my kids.  But most of the time it's just that I enjoy thinking about and talking about business.  It's fun!

Question 5
What are your 3 biggest success tips?

  • Above all, do something you love or you'll never stick with it long enough to make a success of it
  • Don't try to do it alone - always build a team of people with complementary skills
  • Smell the roses along the way - you could die tomorrow so if you're not enjoying the journey, change destination!

Tell us about Joanna...
My biggest "claim to fame" if you like is that I made $1.25 million in my first 12 months as a professional speaker.  Within 12 months I had spoken in the UK, USA and Australia and achieved a level of recognition in my industry that often shocked even myself!

I've spent 3544 hours on stage and consulted with businesses resulting in total revenue of over $47 million.  I managed all this before my 30th birthday.

I get heaps of people asking me every day what I learnt and how I did it- so I put together a website with all the details.  I packed in details of absolutely everything I did - the steps I followed, the resources I used, the names and contact details of people who've helped me along the way, and copies of the tools we've developed.

My hope for you is that you'll check it out, take the information there and use it, and get the same wonderful feeling Greg and I have in achieving our dream lifestyle.
