Wendy's Week

Copper.JPGThe settlement date for our South Melbourne purchase is looming.  

In this climite, you've probably noticed the banks have "battoned down the hatches" making it far tougher for anybody to get finance.  

We're in the process of getting our finance approved, with the lender sending out a valuer yesterday to assess the property and give us the green light.  

Wonder what they thought of the bathroom (pictured right)!  If you know anyone interested in a genuine antique copper, we have one available for sale very soon...

Until next week, happy investing!

Rebates on Ceiling Insulation for Existing Homes

The Australian Government is committed to provide relief to people in difficult economic times. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd recently revealed a positive development that will benefit homeowners who are still in the process of installing ceiling insulation in their homes.

A $3.9 billion Energy Efficiency Homes Package is now in place which allows homeowners to apply for rebates in various areas such as ceiling insulation, low emission heating system and solar hot water.

The homeowner insulation program covers only existing homes excluding new extensions and homeowners who have not availed of assistance under the solar hot water rebate program after February 3, 2009. Although the insulation program will officially start on July 1, 2009, homeowners who have installed ceiling insulation in their homes on or after February 3, 2009 until June 30, 2009 can now reimburse costs. The maximum rebate allowed is $1,600.

Also eligible for rebates are landlords and renters covered under the Low Emission Assistance Plan for Renters. The rebate, however, is lower at a maximum of $1,000 for the installation of ceiling insulation.

Application for reimbursement will be accepted up to six months from the date you purchased the ceiling insulation. Also to be submitted with the application form are a copy of tax invoices from the purchase and installation and a copy of two quotes that meet the requirements.

For eligible homeowners planning to install ceiling insulation after July 1 can still grab the rebates. All you need is to call the Department of Environment at 1 800 808 571 and make a booking. The Department will determine your eligibility based on the details you provide after which a professional installer will go to your home, make an assessment of your insulation needs and install the ceiling insulation. Visit the Department of Environment website for more details.

Five Minutes with...

lisa%20relaxed%20shot%20II.JPGLisa Cole of Secrets of a Supermum

Question 1
What has been your biggest challenge in business and how did you overcome it?
My biggest challenge was balancing and blending my family of 4 children, starting and sustaining my business (time to create and network) and lifestyle (time and energy just for me). I've overcome it with simple planning, strict time management, nurturing myself and finding the delicious moments to celebrate along the way.

Question 2
If you had to start your business again from scratch, what would you do differently?
I'd breathe deeper (and more often), not stress out on the little things and find a mentor who had successfully juggled kids and career so I could possibly by-pass some of the pot holes along the way.

Question 3
Who do you admire and why?
Internationally, it would have to be Oprah Winfrey mainly because of her ability to allow people to open up, share and grow. Also Anne Lamott the author of Bird by Bird who wrote about some instructions on writing and life (great read) because she has such down to earth, no-nonsense self-expression. Here in Australia, it's Joanna Martin, my mentor, for her passion and belief in people (including me) following their passion and making their dreams a reality.

Question 4
It takes a lot of determination and dedication to succeed in business.  What keeps you motivated?
My husband and our four amazing daughters. Together they are my rock and inspiration. I want my daughters to experience my passion, watch me reach my milestones and make extraordinary contributions to mothers and families all around the world.

Question 5
What are your 3 biggest success tips?

    1.    Self belief- the ability to back myself again and again throughout my journey.
    2.    
Self esteem- the capacity to respect, value and honour who I am and what I offer.
    3.    
Self awareness- a commitment to my continued learning, healing and personal development.

Tell us about Lisa...
You know how most mothers struggle to juggle everything in their lives? They're exhausted, stressed and running on empty because they're so over scheduled and under resourced because they think they have to be everything to everyone...

Well what I do is show mums how they can turn their 'kryptonite' existence into an empowering SUPERMUM lifestyle- kids and career with energy to spare for themselves and those they love.
