Wendy's Week

Wendy in the windowWe had our first opportunity on the weekend to get back inside our South Melbourne renovation project. 

Ana goes back to 1952That's me on the right peering through the kitchen window into the main bedroom.

We had a lot of fun and even found some unexpected antiques.  
The floor under the existing carpet had been lined with The Herald from 1952!  Interesting reading from half a century ago.

We even recorded a video for you so you can take your first sneek peak inside.  Take a look here and leave us a comment on YouTube with your thoughts.  We'd love your feedback.

Don't forget, the Essentially for Women event is this weekend.  Lyndsey Baigent has kindly given me 10 tickets to give away to the Affluencia community.  If you'd like to secure a spot, be one of the first 10 to email contact@affluencia.com with Essentially for Women Tickets in the subject line. You'll find further details here.

Until next week, happy investing!

Feature Article

Adverse Possession

Adverse possession refers to the occupation of land not consistent with the rights of the real owner. This basically pertains to the right of a trespasser to own land or part of it which has been in his possession for a certain period of time. The full ownership can be granted to that individual if he or she has been using that land for at least 15 years.

This old doctrine of adverse possession protects the land owner against anybody who wants to claim the property but fails to provide proof of a better land title. It protects the occupier of the land concerned from being ejected by any person who may later on discover a technical issue concerning the land's original boundaries.

Let's take an example. Mr. A owns a certain piece of land which he has turned into a farm. He has been farming there for 20 years. Then comes Mr. B, the new owner of the adjacent land, who found that the fence around Mr. A's farm was incorrectly placed inside the boundary of his property. The land owned by Mr. B had been sold several times in the past but it is only now that the boundary issue came up when Mr. B requested a survey of his property's boundaries.

So, can Mr. B have part of the property included in Mr. A's land back? Does he have the right to get it back? How can the true boundary of a property be determined?

If we are to base it on the old doctrine of adverse possession, the answer is no. Mr. B no longer has the right to challenge Mr. A on this issue and recover his property. Mr. B cannot force Mr. A to move the fence back to the original and correct boundary.

In cases like this, the role of a surveyor is crucial. This is because the process of challenging a land owner on the issue of adverse possession involves several stages.

Five Minutes with...

Angela den HollanderAngela den Hollander of Communic8design

Question 1
What has been your biggest challenge in business and how did you overcome it?
My biggest challenge was believing that I needed to do everything myself and that my clients wouldn't like it if they knew that I used a support team. I overcame this through the support of a business coach and realized that it's fine to manage the delivery of a solution rather than 'doing the do' all the way through the process. 

Question 2
If you had to start your business again from scratch, what would you do differently?
Having worked for a large variety of clients, large and small, I now know who my ideal client is. Therefore, I would be able to define my niche right from the start and save myself a fortune in both money and time.

Question 3
Who do you admire and why?
Ali Brown and Robert Middleton for their ability to run highly successful on-line businesses without compromising their integrity. Both of them offer great products and services and don't stoop to 'magic-pill' promises or sound like the rest of the get-rich-quick, hard-sell on-line marketers.

Question 4
It takes a lot of determination and dedication to succeed in business.  What keeps you motivated?
Stimulation. I love working fast, doing a million things at once, challenges and learning new things. Owning my own business allows me to work at my frantic pace.

I also want to earn a great income so that I can do the best by my family. Both my daughters have special needs, my eldest is particularly bright and as any parent of a gifted child will know, they can be a challenge at times, especially when it comes to finding the right school.

My youngest daughter has Asperger's Syndrome, which is an Autism spectrum disorder. She requires a lot of support - psychologist, tutors and a great, understanding school. None of which comes cheap.

My business helps me with my own sanity as well as providing the best for the ones I love.

Question 5
What are your 3 biggest success tips?

    1.   Stay focused. Entrepreneurial business owners can be easily seduced by the latest idea or gimmick - knowing who you are and what you do best will keep you on track.
    2.    
Surround yourself with good people. Both in your business and as mentors and guides.
    3.    
Never stop learning. Keep an open mind and be willing to listen. Why do things the hard way when you can learn from the wisdom and experience of others?
