Steve, I wanted to take the chance to thank you for putting on the 3 day weekend we just attended. The wealth of information was amazing, in fact my head is still spinning. But it was amazing to see people who are putting in place all the strategies that we are talking about. I think my favourite ones we the Siaccis with the vendor finance, and Derek Gehl was great too. There were also some other great seminars that were less exciting but still equally important that we do need to know.
I would be interested in finding out what were some of the other apprentices favourite parts of the weekend.

3 day mega property investors conference
I thought Steve was great during his Buy and Hold session trying to dig him self out of a hole by trying to do the whole session with out saying Cash Flow. He did pretty well, I'm pretty sure he snuck out back and swallowed a thesaurus. Marty is hallarious, I have just downloaded the iclub videos and can't wait to watch them. Dean was great with his reno finance. So simple its amazing.

I think it is really important to realise ..."why are you doing it...i.e. property development or investing or even trading".
I was fortunate to have a conversation with Marty over lunch before any of his lectures...and this was the main topic of our conversation. As he pointed out to me that what I really wanted - wasn't to be financially free in 5 years or make my first million by 2014 or whatever...it was to get back my TIME - i.e. to get back my time that I have been spending on things ~(current employment) to make profit or supply services for other people. Although most of us do not have the luxury to walk out of our vocations using inversely proportional methodology of reducing our hours with our current employers and increasing our hours for our own company (related to development and/or investment). Therefore, like myself, I have to create that situation where I can break free from employment via profit, or say at least 2 years salary at current lifestyle to enable me to replace my current income for at least 2 years as a buffer. This gives me a buffer to complete property reno's or development. Remember though to secure those loans before you throw the towel in on your current employer because they make the decisions of serviceability of loan and don't forget once your purchasing contract is complete you will have to start paying the loan back every month, so factor this into your calculations + current lifestyle. Anyway a little snippet from me about the Mega.
I agree with the whole getting back your time, but thats where you can get creative, rather than building up 2 years worth of living funds you could use Steves awsome little flow diagram and begin by finding some creative cash flow or become a time partner.
Another aha moment I had, is that there are two ways to get more money, earn more or spend less. I have taken a step back on some of the more luxurious things in life so that I can have more later. Any how I think its great to get everyone elses takeaways from the mega conference. There were just too many good sessions to go to and I had to miss out on some of them, this gives us a chance to get some of the important info we may have missed.

Great comment Bruce
You very simply related Maty's comment about being successful will give us xx... (be it time, money to travel, money to help others etc etc).
What a great conference and well done to Steve and his team in putting the event together and brining in his personal team to share their wealth of knowledge.
I must congratulate Steve for the day two keynote he gave. This was one of the best I have ever seen as it came from his heart and implored people to take action to help themselves become one of the top 5%. Truly inspirational keynote address.
We signed up for Derek Gehl’s course to add an income accelerator, and can’t wait to receive his information as we’re keen to accelerate our portfolio.
Regards
David
Like all of you above I got so much from the conference. I think 2012 was much better than 2011 and it's got me moving. Roadhog want to know what other apprentices got from it. I was most impressed by Marty Ayles and Dean Parker, both always straight forward and doing what they tell us about. I too signed up for Derek Gehl's training and can't wait for Saturday's webinar. I enjoyed the honesty of Troy Harris and the effort he's put into his datasheets. I didn't like the day trading presentation and his constant repetition of the same phrases, very off putting.
Steve is always good value and he's trying so hard to get us motivated. I'd have liked much more information on the Passive US property Fund as I'm more and more confused as I read the PDS. I'm hoping Steve will give us more explanation about the costs, etc.
Cheers,
Wendy
Well wasn't it great :-)
Thanks to Steve and his wonderful team.
this was my second conference with Property investing .com and i must say having been to many "pitch fests", I can safely say, Steve's conference is not like them :-).
I don't think there was a speaker that I didn't get something to take home in the way of an aha.
I also met a lot of inspirational seminar attendees, all out there having a go.
Its so nice to be around a group of like minded people.
cant wait until next year :-)
Got retrenched from my JOB on Thursday before the conference, what a wonderful way to follow up with a seminar about all the ways to move ahead, flew home on Tuesday and when I turned my phone on there was a message for me to call back regarding an opportunity I couldn't have taken up in my previous situation.
awesome :-)
success, when opportunity and preparedness meet.
onward and upward
To Your Prosperity
