RICHBRITS NEWSLETTER UPDATE... 25th June 2009


Dolf De Roos – Real Estate Strategies – Beat the Average
Mark Victor Hansen – Leverage The Economy
Iver Misner – (founder of BNI) – NETWORKING
Alan Williams – Financial Strategies – When You Track Your Money, You Control It.
Sandy Botkin - THE top US Tax Attorney and Tax Mitigation Experts, Sandy is one of Tony Robbins Wealth Mastery Trainers (his info is applicable to UK as well)
These world-renowned experts are all available at the touch of a button at a time that suits YOU.
There are Millions of Millionaires in the US.
The number of millionaires in the UK however is less than 300,000 and recent falls in property prices will still be affecting these numbers negatively.
I know that the population of America is much higher, but so is their attitude to success.
Everybody wants to be a millionaire, but in order to do so (or even get near), we have to get off our assets and look for new ways to achieve that goal.
According to The Sunday Times this week, "with property prices near to bottoming out, we would expect the number of millionaires to start to rise again in 2011."
Well, as many property investors have learned recently, it doesn't pay to have all your eggs in one basket! Remember... RECESSION = OPPORTUNITY... and opportunities abound!
If you are planning to come along the the Richbrits Networking Event on Monday 6th July, please book NOW.
6th July 2009 start time 19:00 to 21:00

The bookings are starting to come in thick and fast for next month's Wealth Awareness Event at The Marriott, Glasgow Road, Edinburgh. Please book early to avoid disappointment!
Would you rather be a landlord in Scotland or in England?
http://www.netrent.co.uk/netrent_homev2/blog.asp

How on earth can this cost £2.5 BILLION….???

…and we complained about Landlord Registration last year !!!
I found a link to this article on Twitter yesterday. Makes for an interesting read while you have your coffee…
Have North Lanarkshire Council lost the Plot??

North Lanarkshire Council have concluded the Public Consultation stage of the local plan and will now retire to discuss any changes to the draft plan released last year. Due to several issues within the draft plan ILI Ltd are still confident of having their site at Dalshannon re-zoned for housing.

Mark Wilson has previously commented briefly on an investigation into fraudulent activity regarding the one of the sites in South Cumbernauld that had been included in the draft plan.

More news was brought to light on Tuesday by BBC Scotland and was reported both on Reporting Scotland as the lead story
See video here it might take a wee second to load up but, it's well worth a look.

Or read the article on the BBC site here
Everything Eco...for Renovators and Converters
If you’re doing up an existing property then it’s worth speaking to the eco experts to get practical advice on how to drag older homes kicking and screaming into the energy-efficient 21st century. Whatever the condition of the existing structure there are a multitude of retro-fit products that you’ll be able to use to make the property more ‘eco friendly’.
Within the Centre you’ll find EDF Energy’s Renovation House: A full-size example of the process required to turn a dilapidated and unloved house into a warm and welcoming family home. As you follow the audio tour around the house, you’ll get great advice and insight into the steps you’ll need to follow for your own project.
...and finally
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
To all you wonderful dads out there, here's a little reminder of how precious you all are.

"The most important thing a father can do for his
children is to love their mother.

-- Theodore M. Hesburgh

"A father is a man who expects his children to be as
good as he meant to be."

June RichBrits Newsletter

Wealth Awareness Event

I have great pleasure in announcing the launch of the all new WEALTH AWARENESS EVENTS which will commence on Monday 6th July at The Marriott Hotel, Glasgow Road, Edinburgh (just off the bypass) and 5 mins from Edinburgh Airport for those of you traveling from further afield.

As many of you already know, I started a very successful Property Networking Club in 2004 which focused mainly on Property Investing in Scotland...this is now a completely new group with a new vision! It will fill you with inspiration and enthusiasm to help you through these trying times.
Over the past few months I have been working with some of the worlds most influential speakers most of whom will be coming to Scotland to show you how they became financially successful and teach you how to do the same.
I want to help you focus on the future, and to move forward with alternative WEALTH CREATION IDEAS.
As well as PROPERTY INVESTMENT, my aim is to present a series of other wealth generating ideas and open your mind to alternative sources of income generation i.e. Property, Stock Market, and Internet Marketing.

Each of these areas can bring substantial financial rewards AND be fun at the same time. The most successful individuals in each of these areas all have one thing in common...MINDSET. I'm sure you will agree that with the right attitude, we can achieve most of the things we desire in life.
So, it is again with great pleasure that I announce my first guest speaker at this inaugural event, will be Ron G Holland, author of The Eureka! Enigma which is due out in September 2009.
Ron is a seasoned entrepreneur, age 60, and has been written up as Britain's Leading Motivational Speaker, Top Biz Guru and the Entrepreneur's Entrepreneur. He gives numerous seminars and presentations and has been interviewed by TV, radio and the press on four continents. He specialises in raising equity funding for early stage and start-up companies.
A HUGE number of subscribers to the Richbrits Newsletter have already downloaded free copies of 3 of Rons bestsellers and I personally am zooming my way through another book of his… “Turbo Success” (the title alone should tell you something about the content! Brilliantly written in simple terms that everyone can and will understand. Ron will take us through some of the processes he describes in Turbo Success and The Eureka! Enigma on the night.
Now is the time to start booking your place as I sense that this event will sell out very, very quickly. So, if you want to be first in line to reserve your seat, just click on the links below and confirm your attendance.
The format for the evening will be similar to that of the SPNC events although now you can book and pay online prior to the event.
I aim to keep the costs as low as possible and the charge for this event is only £20. This covers the cost of room hire, refreshments on arrival PLUS a copy of Ron’s NEW book “The Eureka! Enigma” which will be released in September 09 at the retail price of £12.00.
Please send an email to clare@richbrits.co.uk or laura@richbrits.co.uk to book your ticket.
"The Eureka! Enigma shows how to tap into the incredible power of your subconscious and superconscious mind"

Remortgage Cash Incentives‏

Mortgage lenders GMAC, Advantage, Edeus and Oakwood have been writing to borrowers offering them reductions in their mortgage balances if they redeem their mortgage either by selling the property or re-mortgaging elsewhere. The size of these reductions is assessed on a case-by-case basis however; if you do receive a letter from your lender I would not recommend accepting the first offer. By careful negotiation the level of incentive can be increased by a considerable amount. It is possible that Bradford & Bingley and Mortgage Express will follow with similar offers in the next few months. If you would like further information on Re-mortgage Cash Incentives please contact me.

Visualizing is the Key to Realizing

What is it that separates the highly successful individual from the average or even successful individual? Why is it that one person seems to achieve extraordinary results on a consistent basis and another, with nearly the same training, hits and misses their accomplishments?

The success technique to which I am referring is visualization. Visualizing is one of the most important techniques you will ever learn and one that is utilized by all high performers.

Visualizing is your key to success for two reasons: Your mind thinks in pictures and images; Your unconscious mind drives your behavior.

Your unconscious mind doesn't know the difference between something that is real and something vividly imagined. Whatever picture (goal) you consistently think about will drive your actions to create that exact picture. When you continually see yourself in possession of your goal, your unconscious mind will move you into actions that align with the mental image you hold.

Here's a quick visualization overview to assure your goal achievement:

1. Create a clear mental picture. You must associate a picture to your goal. You should picture yourself in your vision, rather than watching yourself achieve your goal. This "fine point" separates the masters from the masses. You must create a picture that is so real you believe you already have achieved your success.
2. You must "experience" your vision. You must be in your picture, looking through your own eyes... seeing, hearing and feeling everything as if you have already achieved your goal. You must create the emotion of the moment in your own body.
3. Visualize your goal at every opportunity. Bring up your mental picture while waiting at a stop light, when you're on a break, before your next meeting. The more frequently you plant your picture into your unconscious mind, the more rapidly you will begin to realize increased results in your life.
4. Visualize first thing in the morning and last thing at night. The best time to visualize is in the morning right after you wake up and just before you go to sleep. These are the times when your unconscious mind is most open to influence. When your conscious mind relaxes, your unconscious becomes very receptive to your thoughts, dreams and ideas--particularly ideas with high emotion.

So make a commitment right now to create your picture of achieving your goal. All great masters have taught that we become what we constantly think about. Think about your goals to the exclusion of all else and watch your personal and professional results skyrocket! ... an excerpt from High Velocity E-Zine by James Arthur Ray (contributor to "The Secret")
