Hi,

Jeremy's posted some very specific cases on www.propertychat.com

One memorable one was a contract disaster in the US, nasty piece of work.

Also he's been quite open about contacts and knowledge.

But then Jeremy's big enough to fight his own fights and doesnt really need me backing him up :)

John,
I have around 30 properties, about $6m worth. I bought my first property in late 1994. I inherited nothing. I made $1m inside 5 years with an average salary of $40kpa. I lived at home during that period and owe my parents for that, and for their never ending support. That is something that not everyone has. I exploited it, whereas a lot of people haven't. Now how about everyone else? Sorry to bore you with facts SC, I know how much you hate them!

Thanks MG! See you in LA!

Well-done Jeremy,

We can say (well I can) that you are qualified for Guru hat as well.

I have nothing to report really, I wish I could, only started last year. Started not because everybody does it, but because did not have enough to invest. Also R. Kiyosaki thoughts did clarify a lot as well.

I also heard good program on the radio and one Lady in America (sorry do not remember the name) had investment co. and one day Secretary/Receptionist did put data on the computer and did not save it (?) or somehow deleted it (?) and the whole lot was lost - all bank accounts of the clients, their own and clients amount of money invested, number of shares, etc. etc. Basically the whole co. went belly up.
Lady, the owner of the co. refused to give up. She lost nearly everything. She borrowed money for new car, new office, etc., drove her brand new car on the streets of the town trying to present the right image, refused any counselling, pretended that nothing ever happened and worked her ass off trying very hard to get clients and business back. She did succeed.

But before to start here first business, she grew up in the average family with average parents surviving from pay cheque to pay cheque and once she was working she spend all her income purchasing/buying things, hoping that it will increase her net worth. One day she realised that nothing will increase your net worth unless she has an asset. Once she realised that, the rest of it was piece of cake.

I think she also wrote a book and was here in Australia as well about 3-4 years ago, after she succeeded second time?

So, I'm not saying that I had spend all my income, I simply did not have enough to invest (due to number of reasons/circumstances), but I have to admit I did have similar point of view, hopping that doodads will somehow make my life easier.
Well, It probably does to some degree but only on the initial stage and to some extend on the way along, just to maintain that glossy image, no more no less then that.

Anyway, well-done Jeremy. I hope one day I can be in similar position.


Serge.

G'day all,

Others have already been mentioned - I'd like to add to the list of "guru's" these names:-

Bruce Davis - author, presenter of the very first seminar I attended - Sydney based, and still out there making it happen.

Alan Falkson - author, Perth-based, not sure if he's still "in the game", but had some wild (and successful) ideas in his books.

Hans Jakobi - author, presenter, still out there doing his thing.

Peter Spann - new author, presenter, former "check-out operator", inspiration to all (well, to some, anyway ;^) He is your typical "VW" of the seminar world - i.e. you either love him, or you hate him.
(I haven't decided yet .... ;^)

And, forgive me for repeating one mentioned earlier, but our Jan gets a big mention from me - a down-to-earth, unpretentious, real nice person who just happens to be a guru as well .... (And I'm sure she probably shrinks from that - but she really deserves that title).

Regards,


Les

Surely there is only one 'Aussie Guru'.

The one and only Stuart O'Neill! :p

What about 200 wealthiest individuals in Australia, they too have properties and quite few of them.

They sure would, Serge. Just on that "200 Wealthiest" list. Do you know
that the 200 people on that list are only those that allow their names to be
posted on that list? There are people living in this country that are far
wealthier than many of those common names we all know, many of whom we've
never even heard of, and probably never will.

Interesting thought that. I you were one of the top 200 wealthiest people,
would you allow your name to be put on that list? Dunno, I don't think I
would.

Cheers

Dave

I spoke to a BRW writer about that point. Apparantly there are way, way more people who ring them up and ask either why they weren't on the list, or if they were on the list why they werent higher up. Big ego thing they thought! I would be pretty happy just to get an honourable mention;)

And yet,

I know someone who would easily make top 5, if not higher ;o) and she 'chooses' not to be on it because she does not disclose her worth.

(No I am not kidding, she gave her son a 20 mil fund for his 18th b'day, oh, and a BMW.)

however, I agree with you, JL, I'd be really happy to BE ABLE to rate an hon mention... not necesarilly have it printed for all to see, but be in that league.

Hi

I used to prepare tax returns for 3 of the people on that list, and, 2 others who were actually wealthier and who chose to keep their level of wealth to themselves.

The list is not complete or really that accurate, although, if we take the thread from another of our discussions, it could be used a shopping guide ladies . . .

Have fun

Dale

On my wife side, her parent’s family friend, is one of the owners of the Hobart Casino. That project was completed many years ago and lots of things did happen since than, money wise of cause (more money made).
Every time someone does contact them in regards to finance information or publishing ideas (success story), or whatever, they do refuse categorically to talk to anyone. Would you believe it, I agree.
Unless you an owner of Ford Motor Company or Microsoft, it will become public anyway, otherwise why would you?

Once your name is on the list you have to employ security guard, high tech security system installed... have bars on the windows.
In Italy, I’ve heard, rich people do get microchip implanted voluntarily into their bodies, in case if they “missing”.
We are in Australia do it to the animals, just in case if you want to know who to send the bill too...
