month’s FB posts where we hear about:
Finish What You Start! Typically as Entrepreneurs, we have ‘shiny object’ syndrome. Meaning that we are very quick to come up with a great idea and start it – but before completing the task, we often lose interest or see something that excites us more.
This quick message is a timely reminder – that we can’t ‘Own Our Wins’ – unless we actually
complete/finish the job/task/project. So let’s start finishing!
Be Deliberate Cutting through the drama, guilt and naysayers comes about if you are intentionally
deliberate about your priorities. Hold your vision to build wealth; or your intention to take a break and be with family; or to have time out for self-care. You are the Visionary so be Deliberate about Life.

3 Winning Beliefs for Property Developing
#1 Tenacity
Most people run for the hills when things get tough or they give up when they meet an obstacle. Sometimes they’ll sell a property at a loss when the market takes a slide or when faced with difficult tenants. Stuff can go wrong – you might feel like you are failing but sometimes just need to pick yourself up, ask for help, tackle the problem head-on and seek out expert advice if you are outside your comfort zone.
# 2 Responsibility
Life is a series of choices – what you are today reflects many choices you have made. We can choose to blame others, blame the government or blame the market. The other choice is to own responsibility of for what’s in your control (your sphere of influence) and taking ownership of your present and your future.
#3 Delayed Gratification
In this market-driven world, there are so many channels tempting us to part with our hard-earned money. You only have to look at the ads pushed to you by Facebook and Instagram – courtesy of their clever algorithms. Afterpay and all those easy layby apps are making it so convenient to buy. If your goals are to build wealth, then delayed gratification is the belief that a sacrifice today will help you build a better future. It’s better to become a conscious consumer or an intentional spender – think before you spend – “Will buying this bring me one step closer to my goal?”
