What media have you featured in?
Australian Property Investor Magazine, Your Investment Property, Success Magazine, Money Magazine, Foxtel – Trading Day, Sky News Business, Sky News Real Estate, ABC Radio, 4BC – Kevin Turner
Does your program have a credentialed mindset coach?
Yes, Hilary Saxton who has studied psychology and human behaviour including at the NeuroLeadership Institute under Dr. David Rock.
A few other things to be aware of:
- If they say “X years in property or X years in investment and property development” – ask them to separate property development – they probably bought their first house at age 20. Then put a dollar value and geographic spread on those projects.
- Never buy a property development course off a non-developer. It’s like learning tennis from a basketball coach.
- Make sure they currently develop as well as teach – otherwise they’ll be out of touch with the market and current conditions.
- When they talk about coaching / mentoring, separate what is group coaching and 1 on 1 and who is delivering it.
Make no mistake, with the right mentor, nothing can stop you from thriving as a property developer – and achieving financial security, having more time to enjoy life, and leaving a legacy.
Not even money.
That’s right. Back in the early 1980’s, my mentor Tony, said 13 words to me that changed my life and within 12 months I’d made the equivalent of 3 times today’s annual full time wage on my first deal.
What’s more, I didn’t use my own money and it took just 50 hours of my time.
