Month: July 2022

How will the second half of your year go?

OK, for some people reading this you might be thinking ‘give me a break, it’s summer holiday time, I’m not thinking about how the year will finish’. For others, thinking about what you can do to finish the year strong might be a regular thought. Yes it is summer, and you definitely need to have some time off, but we also know that summer will fly by and before long the daylight will be shorter and we’ll be looking at where we will likely finish the year. 

Will you be closing your laptop for Christmas on a high because of what you’ve accomplished? 🥳

Will you be set up to carry huge momentum and clarity of direction into 2023? 🤩

Or will you be feeling disappointment and regret because you didn’t do what was in your control to optimise your finish to the year? 😔

How you finish the year will strongly influence how you start the new year.

Either way it is in your control. You get to decide. It starts with a DECISION and continues with a commitment to DAILY ACTION of doing the RIGHT things.

SO WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO STACK THE ODDS OF SUCCESS IN YOUR CORNER SO YOU CAN FINISH THE YEAR STRONG?

Here are 5 ANSWERS I know for sure to that question:

#1 – it takes having a crystal clear goal that is psychologically optimised because it is fully aligned with your big reason why and your subconscious mind

#2 -it takes having an implementation plan with enough granular detail so that you know exactly what to start working on and what to complete each week of the quarter

#3 -it takes having a clear mechanism for measuring progress to keep you sane, happy and motivated along the rollercoaster

#4 -it takes having clear and meaningful deadlines in your calendar throughout your quarter that guide and stretch you

#5 -it takes having a private board of advisors [aka a mastermind group] who deeply understand you and who are committed to holding you accountable every week

We, and others who have journeyed with us, know that these ingredients are what delivers a strong finish to the year, and any quarter for that matter. 

If this is the kind of finish to the year that you want for yourself in 2022 and beyond, then let us help you.

This is what we love helping people with and it’s what we facilitate on our Mastermind Retreat and with our follow up accountability sprint.

We love helping people in property create more of the life they want by helping them become execution superheroes. 

That’s one month Quarter 3 done already, the end of Q3 and the final sprint to the year will be upon us soon. How will you decide to finish?

If you like the sound of becoming an execution superhero check out our retreat info here and request a call.

Are you on a journey of building a property business in alignment with your highest values?….are you striving to create more of the life you want? 

I reckon that’s probably what most of us are doing in our own unique way, but what does that specifically look like for you, and more importantly – are you happy with the progress?

Over the last 6 years, the main journey for Chris (business partner) and I has been one of starting and running our property businesses, all while aligning this with our highest values (having learned all about that on a weekend with Dr John Demartini). This journey has seen us pivoting a failing SA business into a highly successful one, single let investing, and development for long term letting assets. Alongside this we have been mentoring through mastermind days for small groups of property investors/entrepreneurs since 2018. 

We know first hand that the journey of building a property business on your terms is fraught with obstacles and challenges like uncertainty, overwhelm, lack of clarity, lack of accountability, mental isolation and procrastination.

Despite all of this, we strongly believe that every property investor/entrepreneur has the potential to make the impact they want and live in alignment with their highest values…IF they turn themselves into execution superheroes. 

That’s why we love to create incredible mastermind retreat experiences for property entrepreneurs to work through these obstacles together, and then move forward executing at the level of their best self.

I’ve been part of various mastermind groups since 2014 and ever since Chris and I started working together in 2016 we’ve dreamed of creating powerful mastermind retreats in beautiful locations.

Last year’s mastermind retreat was a huge success and we are now super excited to tell more people about it. 

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUPERCHARGE YOUR JOURNEY AND FINISH THE YEAR STRONG WITH US?

Our applications are open to bring together a select group of people who are up and running on the property entrepreneur path, and who are looking to progress their business with the support of an awesome peer group.

We’ve been having a number of application conversations but there’s still time to register your interest and apply. 

Our next retreat is at the end of September and we could not think of a better way to celebrate the close of summer and to set up what will be a power finish in Q4 that will see you carrying momentum into next year.

Hope to be finishing the year strong with some of you 😊

As property investors/entrepreneurs, we are constantly learning with the aim of achieving our goals. Whether we’re learning informally through reading or listening to a podcast, or in an educational setting like a webinar or course, so many experiences will continue to provide new and important information that can enhance our knowledge, and potentially our results and our lives.

However, there’s a big difference between absorbing information and putting what you’ve learned into practice. Without doing the latter, the information and training you’ve received will go to waste, so it’s essential to have a strategy for implementing what you learn. 

Here we are at the half-way point in the year and if you read my post last week you will have seen the powerful review process and implementation plan I shared. Whether you invested the time to complete that or not, I’m sure just knowing we are halfway through the year prompts you to reflect on where you stand with implementing your goal related actions from the things you’ve previously learned. 

[For those who missed it, I highly recommend review last quarter and follow these steps to plan Q3 – here’s the link:  http://adaeroproperty.com/download/quarterly-review-and-planning-steps-for-next-quarter/   ]

So how good are you at actually implementing what you learn in order to progress your property endeavours? It’s a challenging thing to measure, but let’s give it a go. Everyone loves a bit of self discovery, so to this end I’ve created a little self assessment to help measure your ability to implement.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

*Most of us have room for improvement however we can’t improve what we have not measured.

*To see how effective you are, and if you’re already great, brilliant – acknowledge it and double down 😁🙌.

*To know that our ability to implement is not a fixed set point, but rather it’s like a muscle that can be intentionally trained to massively grow and improve. 

*To grow your self awareness and confidence – little tests like this one are great tools for better understanding oneself, and with that comes confidence and a greater understanding of who we are and who we want to become. 

SELF DISCOVERY QUESTIONS

Here are 7 questions you need to answer honestly by scoring yourself on a scale of 1-4 where the following scoring applies:

1- I’ve never done this before

2- I occasionally do this

3- I actually do this quite a lot

4- This is exactly what I do everytime

Q1. I am clear on my WHY and on my highest values, and these act as a filter for selecting what I choose to learn and implement.

Q2. When I complete a course, I create a mini action plan to implement the top ideas and I schedule time to work on them in my diary.

Q3. Even though I might feel overwhelmed after a course or event, I’m good at defining the first small step to get me started on implementing my takeaways.

Q4. I have a weekly and daily routine that includes reviewing, planning and blocking out focus time for actioning tasks from the plan.

Q5. I am quick to turn learning into action by seeking real life situations to interact with the market place and learn from feedback/mistakes. 

Q6. I increase my chances of completing the tasks I set by layering in accountability with a coach/mentor/friend who cares about my journey.

Q7. I regularly meet with high performing action takers because being around them helps me set a higher level of expectation for myself.
