#1 So, there's a couple of things. if you want your side hustle to grow:
1. Read the lean startup and lean that idea. Grow your business with a single client in the beginning. Learn from the client and test your ideas with the client.
#2 Strategise your vision and mission, plans and goals so that you know where you're heading. If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.
#2.1 Choose your service not on what you can do, but on what you want to do. And you have the discretion to do something outside of your mission and vision.
You need to know it's to just pay the bills this time, or because you will use this as a stepping stone
#3 Drink more coffee. Think about your options, goals and where you want to go.
Drink more coffee.
#4 Position yourself to connect with your target market. As you now know what your mission is, make sure you connect with the market segment. You know who to find, so go find them.
#END

RIP Charlie Munger (1924-2023) - the Vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, and right hand man of Warren Buffet. In honour, I would like to give the 10 best quotes by Charlie. Image
1. "Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up."

2. “The safest way to try and get what you want is to try and deserve what you want."

3. “In my whole life, I have known no wise people who didn't read all the time - none, zero."
4. “The big money is not in the buying and selling, but in the waiting."

5. “You don’t have to be brilliant, only a little bit wiser than the other guys, on average, for a long, long time."

So you want to buy into a sectional title scheme??
Well, let's talk what you should be looking for in the financials - and how to go about it. Oh, and the OTP.
So the OTP. Add a clause stating the sale is dependent on your review of the financial statements. And you have 2 weeks from it dropping in your lap to review and change your mind. Just reword it nicely ;)
Ask for the last AGM pack (if possible) - or just the annual financial statements (AFS).
Focus on the income and expenses, reserves, and outstanding debts.

Let's talk TAX AND RENTAL PROPERTIES!
How do you pay less tax on rental income?!
Thread below 👇👇👇
So, as you might know, rental income is taxed at your normal income tax rate. This means, if you're in the 36% bracket, you will be paying 36% income tax on all income made from property rentals.
But there has to be a way around it?
And that's what the rich and informed do ;)
You have a few choices in paying less tax in rental property:
1. More expenses and deductibles
1.1 Home loans
1.2 Betterment & Maintenance
2. less income
3. tax breaks.
4. do some funky entity dealings - not for the faint-hearted!
And a special section incl:
5. SELLING + taxes

DONT BUY PROPERTY FOR THESE 9 REASONS!!
1. Because you are prequalified/preapproved for an amount. Remember interest rates will climb and might make it unaffordable
2. Because levies are low. With bad management, these can increase. Check that the system and all finances are healthy too!
3. Because it's a beautiful home. It takes a lot of maintenance and MONEY to keep the grass greener on that side. And budget for insurance too...!

Travel tips from top places where I've been:
1. Croatia: beautiful, well priced and cheap for self-drive. Visit Plitvice, Dubrovnik and travel in a rental car so you can stop wherever you want. Booking flights via Rome tends to be cheaper. ImageImage
2. Turkey: very cheap, amazing food, good coffee and worth just walking around Istanbul. We had a food checklist. Also, check out prices before you buy. Shop around. Avoid touristy places, but do try a Hammam for a scrub! ImageImage
3. Vietnam: CHEAP, raw, non-touristy and worth to see all the natural beautiful sites including Halong Bay, My Son and the Mekong Delta. We lived on Pringles: x 2 size and 1/2 the price! ImageImage
