I had a great time. The propertyinvesting.com team always put on a great event… Thank you for the massive effort it takes to put on world class events, time and time again.

Like every year there was a powerful line up of speakers – this year I particularly loved the insights that Brendan Nichols gave away. I had a few A-HA moments on how the wealthy look at money. Brendan asked us to imagine that there was a million dollars on the table and asked “what does that mean”? What he saw was was eighty thousand dollars because one million invested at around 8% would give eighty thousand in passive income. Ding, ding, ding bells and light globes were going off for me.
He also pointed out a belief that the wealthy have around the perception of what is a lot or a little. Brendan said you have to get to a point where 50k is not a lot of money. What a powerful insight!!

I could go on and on, there was so many take-aways from all the speakers and participants over the three days. There were lots of meaningful moments on purpose and contribution.

For me the biggest A-HA came from the powerful Steve McKnight – he asked four questions and I am going to be vulnerable with everyone here (we are all property friends). I have listed my answers and some of what they revealed.

Q. Who is my biggest positive money influence? A. Dad
Q. Who is my biggest negative money influence? A. Dad
Q. What is my basic feeling about money? A. Excited/fear
Q. Am I attracting money or repelling it? A. I am not balling yet, so I guess I am repelling it but if I feel excited and fear about money possible I attract and repel it. Foot on the gas and brake, or go back and forth between the two.

I did not have many money influences growing up, in my life I have just been copying what they did. I need to consciously seek more positive money influences and emulate their habits, values and beliefs about money. I will be able to get where they are rather than blindly following the old mainly unconscious game plan / blue print.
This has been a huge A-HA moment because in the past I believed my thoughts and feelings about money, life, family etc were real and just the way it was.
In fact I just made them up, because of the influences around my life.

I have decided that my thoughts, feeling, habits, values, beliefs etc just are. Not positive, not negative they just are. They produce an outcome but they just are. Contrast to the past where I held onto my feelings and beliefs because I thought they were real, they were emotionally charged (or maybe I did not think about it, it was just unconscious). I kept hitting a glass ceiling the old beliefs were limiting me to. I can now see the tiny rope holding the elephant and I have the clarity to break through and move to the next level.
