276 | COVID-19 & Property Outlook

There’s no doubt that every one of us is impacted by COVID-19 — the coronavirus pandemic — that’s practically everywhere right now.

It’s on the news. It’s in our countries. It’s fuelling a lot of anxiety and panic across the globe…

So, today’s episode is all about navigating the uncertainty of COVID-19 and lifting our eyes so we can see the bigger picture BEYOND the short-term contagion — and the social contagion — that’s currently going on.

Our message remains the same as our first episode on the coronavirus — to spread calm and connection right now….

But A LOT has changed in a week… and so we also have another (kinda really exciting!) message for you…

If you’re cashflows allow and your job security is there… NOW just might be one of the best times to act!

Now, we’re by no means belittling what’s going on here…. We get the severity of the coronavirus event and we understand there are folks out there that are doing it tough right now. And our hearts go out to them and their families.

However, it’s our job to turn to the data and face the facts so we can give you a realistic look at the property market.

Because here’s the deal… the anxiety and panic we’re seeing in our supermarkets is NOT what we’re seeing on the grounds in the property market!

To highlight this, we’re doing something we’ve never done on the show before… we’re giving you a behind-the-scenes look into our “Inner Sanctum” — that is, the most-recent meeting with our team of Buyers Agents who are currently out there buying investment properties. So you get to be a “fly on the wall” as they explain what they’re witnessing in the property market… and WHY.

 

Because, yes… there IS a lot of outside contagion going on. The economy IS being affected at this time. There IS uncertainty and fear going on. And we’ve never really seen something like what we’re witnessing right now. But there’s a VERY positive news story here for a handful of folk who are planned, informed and ready to act… an opportunity that, well, doesn’t come around too often…

275 | 7 Grades of Financial Wellbeing – Which one are you?

Where do you sit on the ladder of financial success?

In this episode, we’re unpacking a brand-new framework that outlines the seven grades of financial wellbeing… so you can self-assess your financial health in a way you’ve never been able to do before!

Here’s the deal, folks… this is new, fresh content. There’s actually nothing out there like this. ‘Cos what we’re about to discuss is the overarching framework of ALL the frameworks we’ve ever gone through over the last five years… and, truth be told, it probably took us from then ‘til now to get really clear on what we’re about to teach today! And to say we’re super excited to share this with you is probably the understatement of the year!

So, it goes something like this…

There’s a GRADING SYSTEM where you can work out exactly where you are on the ladder of financial success… and each grade – or level – has ACTION STEPS, including a “milestone move”, that will move you either up or down this ladder. Obviously, the idea is to move UP a grade and you do this through incremental habits and mindset shifts that will lift you up through each grade… all the way to the “wow” Pinnacle! (This, by the way, is NOT Financial Peace – it’s up there, but it’s actually not the highest tip of the mountain!)

Need an image to grasp this concept? Think of the Karate belts – you start at a white belt and the “best of the best” is the black belt, right? But from white to black there’s a whole bunch of colours in between that show what grade you’re in. And so, just like these karate belts, financial success has a very similar way to reveal where you’re REALLY at. White, Yellow, Orange, Green, etc, etc… Pretty cool, right?

So, essentially, this epic framework is the Yellow Brick Road that paves the way to get to Oz. Or climb out of its opposite if you happen to be stuck in the undesirable grades.

In EACH grade (remember, there’s seven) we’re walking you through…

  • The Headline – the one liner that sums up this grade
  • The Backstory – what gets you to this grade
  • The Big Picture – the main signs of this grade
  • Action Steps – what to do to move up from this grade (and what’ll make you fall down one!)
  • The Feelings – what you’re most likely to feel when you’re here
  • The Milestone Move – the ONE THING that’ll move you up a notch 😉

So… where do you reckon’ you sit? What colour’s your karate belt on financial wellbeing?

Let’s find, out shall we?

274 | Coronavirus Special: Keep calm and carry on!

With the Coronavirus outbreak spreading across the globe and impacting the economy, it begs the question… Is buying property right now still a good idea?

Well, without giving away today’s episode, the message we want to put out there is this… Keep Calm and Carry On.

Because when wide-spread contagions like the Coronavirus break out, they snowball into something else that’s also highly contagious… irrational human behaviour. So, our intention with this special episode is to separate facts from fiction so we stay informed about what’s really going on here without exasperating the issue until we have a crisis of confidence on our hands.

While we’re 100% NOT health experts, we’ve taken some very useful snippets from a recent ABC’s 7.30pm program, so you can hear from those who are experts on infectious diseases. They will give you a clear look at the Coronavirus, explaining in detail how it’s spread, who’s most at risk, what you can do to protect yourself and – perhaps most importantly – give you a realistic look at the numbers.

We have a few tidbits to add on the property side, incl. the Coronavirus’s potential impact on property prices and who should be mindful of taking out a home loan during this time.

Basically, for the majority of folk, it will be this… go full steam ahead. Don’t stop what you’re doing. Don’t be irrational. Just keep calm and carry on…

(And for goodness sake, don’t hoard the toilet paper… it only exasperates the issue! 🧻🧻🧻 )

Psst… in case you’re wondering, we’re talking about our epic New Framework NEXT WEEK!!! (Today’s episode just couldn’t wait 😉)

“COVID-19”, aka… The Coronavirus!

As you’re probably aware, the coronavirus has NOT slowed… in fact, it’s definitely leaving its mark on the economy… globally, as well as here in Australia. To give you an idea… last week alone, six trillion dollars was wiped off the world’s stock markets! Six trillion. So, what are we in for?

  • COVID-19 and it’s impact on the global and domestic economy
  • How is it affecting the demand side of our travel, tourism and educational sector
  • Updates on the countermeasures taken by the United States Fed Reserve
