    Happy Entrepreneurs and Entrepreneur Royalty with Claire Raikes & Peter Stanley

    Peterstanley_2 Another lovely message has flooded in from happy entrepreneur:

    "Judith, I'm sure you're well aware of how much I appreciate your help, guidance and friendship, but like any relationship, I don't think it hurts to be reminded of the fact.   Over the years you've introduced me to some great people, who are not only stars in their field, but also lovely people.   I spoke to Claire Raikes yesterday as part of my challenge to have a free lunch at the Ivy and we got on like a house on fire. In fact, we got the business stuff done in 40 minutes and chatted for the rest of the time about motorbikes and life in general - I was conscious of being "on the clock", but we could have talked for ages.   I did feel like I was in the presence of Entrepreneur Royalty, but she soon put me at ease.   So, thanks for the introduction."   Peter Stanley, Property Made Simple.

    He's a nice man, isn't he?   Have you noticed how nice things just keep on happening to nice people, or is that me being weird again?   Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon... (goes off, singing).

    PS   I'm not sure who challenged Peter for a free lunch at the Ivy or who's paying?  Is that me?   Peter???

    Business Mentoring & Coaching:Making A Difference

    Clients So many of us live to make a difference to the lives of others; I know I do.   I am fortunate that my work involves doing this 24/7/365.   Here are a couple of lovely pieces of feedback I received on Monday and Wednesday and which I am proud to share as it gives you a flavour of my work and my week.

    “Two hours mentoring with Judith clarified my thinking, made me appreciate how far I’ve already come this year, and how (magically) I am already stepping my business up to the next level.  Thanks, you’re a star Judith!”

    "Thank you Judith, you are amazing! Despite all the stress in my life I was quite positive but after our meeting I am extremely positive and excited and that is all down to you!   Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the information you have given me and for lunch. The time flew by so quickly and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of our meeting."

    Just look at the gorgeous people I get to work with over coffee at Starbucks and lunch at Carluccio's!

    I'm So Happy & Grateful That I...

    Abc_sparklers_4 There are a couple of homilies in coaching (well, more than a couple actually, but I am confining myself to these two today.   The first one is "be careful what you wish for" and the second one is "write it down, make it happen".

    I just wanted to share with you today that forever - FOREVER - so long I have lost count - a couple of things have been on my wish list, written down and wished for with absolutely no idea how they were going to come true, such is my faith in these principles.

    1. To own my own home again - done it (February 2008)
    2. To be debt free - doing it (April to September 2008)   

    I can hardly believe that two things I have wanted so much, so badly and for so long could both magically have come true and be coming true right now.  Awesome.   I am so happy and grateful that I own my own home again and I am so happy and grateful that I am becoming debt free and helping millions of others to achieve the same.   

    If you want to own your own home with no money down check this out.   And if you want to start the journey to debt freedom forever check this out.   Either way, feel free to contact me so I can explain how learning about Rent To Own can get you your own home for only £1 and how you too can become debt free.   It would be my pleasure to share two of my best ever top financial tips.   

    My Best Ever Hot Property Tip. Ever. Bar None!

    Property_investing_for_cashflow_hou My history with property investing is somewhat checkered to say the least.

    In 1979 my Dad lent me £500 towards buying my first home which cost £9,000 and on which Ken Livingstone, then Leader of the GLC, gave me a 100% mortgage.   I sold the flat in 1983 for £21,000 and bought a house costing £43,000.   I sold that in a sealed bid in 1987 for about £85,000 and bought a house for £125,000 and then rented it out in 1990 as an HMO (house of multiple occupancy) even before we knew what such a thing was, and bought a flat to live in costing another £125,000.   So at that point I owned two properties worth a quarter of a million, following nothing better than instinct, naivete and native cunning.

    And then interest rates went to 18% and I struggled manfully with the cashflow of my business in difficult market conditions and to pay both mortgages for about three years until I finally caved in and in 1992 both my homes were re-possessed and I found myself in debt to the tune of about £300,000 and facing bankruptcy.   Snakes and Ladders.   Back to Zero.   Er, make that £300k below zero.

    The Cleaning Biz - Summer Party

    Cleaning_biz_summer_party_2008_00_2 Friday was The Cleaning Biz summer party which always takes place at the very wonderful Mayfly pub near Stockbridge in Hants.   Why?   Because it is half way between London and Somerset where my business partner lives.

    Here's a photo which shows how we were blessed with great weather, gorgeous riverside location with reeds, ducks and swans, and a lovely lunch, so much so I forgot to get my camera out until most of us had gone home - here we still are at 5 p.m. enjoying a nice cup of tea.

    Left to Right after me are Rona (Bath), Janine (Shepherds Bush), Sally (Shoreham & Worthing), Annie (Bognor Regis), Janet (Bristol) and Marijke (Twickenham).   The photographer was Emma (Fulham) and I came home with a pair of rather unattractively burned wrists and hands!

    Didn't we have a lovely time, the day we went to Stockbridge?

    Are You Struggling Under the Burden of Debt?

    Money_coins During February I heard about a Manchester-based company called Cartel who offer a unique solution for clients struggling under the burden of debt, as so many of us are.   I zoomed up to Manchester for a training day on 1st March and have become a representative of Cartel.   My own Cartel DebtBusting website went live at the end of last week where you can read all about Cartel and the services they offer.  You are offered a free initial telephone consultation about your own indebtedness during which I will explain how Cartel work and what they can do which may help you with your debts.   Get in touch.   Do.   I am waiting to help you now.
