Good morning. I had my onboarding with @Samuel Appleby this week which was very thorough and very useful, so thank you Sam. The reason for being here is that I would like to be involved in creating quality, affordable and sustainable homes. I have lived aboard so would like to bring some design ideas from down under. As the climate changes we may possibly need to incorporate that into design. I used to be an energy advisor then carried out EPC's and would like to make homes that are cheaper to run with a focus on nice outside spaces. Accommodation is the number one link to mental health, so spaces need to bright, light, safe and comfortable and will stand the test of time, so don't look awful over time. I am really keen to look at products such as solar sheets that can go on windows and I saw a sky light that also becomes a balcony yesterday, so innovation is important to me. I will be on the course in February so look forward to it and Merry Christmas.

Hi everyone. weather crap but typical for time of year, but I feel the fire just keeps burning in AFL camps, unstoppable!!

Hi all - new to this community and just had a lively onboarding call with @Samuel Appleby (thanks Sam) who suggested I introduce myself on here - so here goes... After 22 years in operational leadership roles at two large consultancy firms, I learned how to manage complexity, optimise processes, and sit through meetings that definitely could’ve been emails. Along the way, I started building a small property portfolio, one carefully analysed spreadsheet at a time. Over the last 20 years, that side-project became a genuine passion: finding opportunities, improving them, and creating long-term value. Now, I’m taking that portfolio to the next level. I focus on sourcing and developing real estate projects where the numbers make sense and the outcomes are tangible (no jargon, no buzzwords, and no slide decks required!). I've signed up to the 3-day masters of influence bootcamp (in Feb) to further develop my sales skills as the 'art of persuasion' is a key skill that I'm sure I need to be successful. In short: Former corporate leader. Current property developer and deal sourcer. Still powered by coffee, spreadsheets, and the thrill of turning ideas into real assets.

Hi All, another newbie here. Definately life changing! Embarking onto this journey, doing all 'these extra teachings' a little overwhelmed at first but also exciting! Doing your job will make you a living. Invest in yourself will make you a fortune!- Jim Rohn
