Wendy's Week

Wendy and KerryI spent an amazing weekend with Lyndsey Baigent and some lovely ladies at the Essentially for Women event here in Melbourne.

One of the many inspiring speakers was Kerry Pothurst, one half of the Gold Medal winning Sydney 2000 Olympics Beach Volleyball team.

Kerry even had both the 1996 Atlanta Bronze and coveted 2000 Sydney Gold medals on hand and passed them around so we could all take a closer look.

She then unzipped a suitcase and pulled out a pile of broken bottles.  Next thing we new, we'd whipped our shoes off and were all walking barefoot across broken glass.  What a great way to break through barriers and achieve the next level in your development.

So my question this week for you is:  What have you done recently to push through your comfort zone?

Until next week, happy investing!

Why Right Now is a Great Time to Invest in Real Estate

Times may seem tough right now in many parts of the world but if you focus on the positives, there are many benefits to be had. The real estate industry, for instance, is one sector which offers great opportunities for investors during a financial crisis.

In Australia, the real estate market is showing positive signs for people wanting to purchase property for investment purposes.  Things like lower interest rates, increasing affordability, higher rental rates and a severe lack of supply of homes in some areas.

Areas with strong growth indicators are more likely to benefit and will include the suburbs that first time homebuyers and investors find attractive  Look at suburbs considered appealing, such as those in strategic locations with ready accessible to public transport, schools, child care centres, supermarkets and so on.

Housing demand has been consistently high in Australia.  It has been estimated that Australia will need an additional 1.15 million new dwellings between 2002 and 2011. Two thirds of these dwellings will be separate houses.  However, the pace of building newly constructed homes cannot cope with the demand. In 2008 for instance, only 150,000 new homes were built, well below the 180,000 needed to house the demand.

Mortgagee sales and foreclosures are on the rise. By the end of 2009 alone, it is estimated that some 30,000 homes will face foreclosure. Investors have the opportunity to seize opportunities in this sector.

If you are serious about investing in property, now is the time to prepare and to make sure you are ready to act should real estate opportunites head your way.

Five Minutes with...

Brenda_ThomsonBrenda Thomson of Networking World

Question 1
What has been your biggest challenge in business and how did you overcome it?
Money and cash flow and spending the little we did have in the best ways. We are still working on overcoming that one. I now make a point of only spending money when it is directly linked to a clearly defined business objective and I have worked out the projected ROI.

Question 2
If you had to start your business again from scratch, what would you do differently?
Get more help and advice from people who had “been there and done that”. Take advantage of the enormous number of government and not for profit support systems that are available for small business (once you know about them).

Question 3
Who do you admire and why?
Richard Branson because he does what he is passionate about and isn’t afraid to make mistakes.

Question 4
It takes a lot of determination and dedication to succeed in business.  What keeps you motivated?
1. The excitement of watching my baby business grow and develop.
2. Feedback and recognition that we are on the right track and are providing a genuinely valuable service.
3. When you have invested three years of your life and much too much of your husband’s money how can you quit till you succeed?

Question 5
What are your 3 biggest success tips?

    1.    Have a really clear business plan that you update regularly (at least every 90 days).
    2.    
Talk to your customers constantly and find out what they want/need and what you can do better – then act on it!
    3.    
Stay on top of your financials – make sure you understand where the money comes from and goes to and how profitable each aspect of your business is. And if you don’t like what you see – fix it!
