The Championship Mindset: What World Champion Boxing Teaches Us About Creative Property Investment By Ceyhan Sarac | Founder, Bodrum Property Group | June 2026 Last week, I had the privilege of meeting Billy Schwer at the Money Makers Summit in Peterborough. For those unfamiliar with his name, here are the facts: British champion. Commonwealth champion. European champion. And the World champion. 138 professional fights under his belt ! But what struck me most wasn't his record. It was the story he shared — and the lesson hidden inside it. Three More Minutes Billy's third attempt at the world title was against Colin Dunn at Wembley. They knew each other well — they'd sparred countless rounds together. Billy was confident he had the beating of him. It was a war. Twelve brutal rounds. Voted Contest of the Year. "Three more minutes and the title's yours."— Gentleman Jack (Jack Lindsay), Billy Schwer's trainer said to him just before the last round ! He believed him. The bell rang. He fought those final three minutes on pure heart, pure instinct, pure will. And in those final moments, as he stood in the centre of the ring awaiting the judges' decision, he understood something that cannot be taught in a textbook. Victory — and the pursuit of it — lives entirely in the mind before it ever lives in reality. The paarallel nobody talks about! After four years of active property investment and trading , with a portfolio spanning Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, County Durham, and East London — I can tell you this with certainty: The principles that produce champions in the ring are the exact same principles that produce exceptional results in creative property investment. Most investors have access to the same information. They can read about Lease Options — a strategy that allows you to control a property without deposit or very little money or without mortgage ... Generate income, and secure the right to purchase at a fixed price at the end of the term!

These are what I have learned from #Money Makers Summit last week in Peterborough: As I promissed this is the update version of my original posts. if you have not seen the coverage of first 2 days please see them too. On the first and second days the following main topics were covered : Mindset, Money Psychology, Using OPM (Other People's Money) to build assets! These were the main topics which I have coverd them in my first post... Because of the lack of space I could not cover all the subjects covered during 3 days of the Summit - perhaps it would be the case here again! (And I will cover the remaining and missing topics in another post and here in the Community) ! Here is the update of #DAY 3 from Money School Summit: -Tax, Bussiness & Company Planning -Communication Techniques -Podcasting -How to Trade Safely. #Rob Moore on Tax & Business Structure: This session alone was worth the trip! Rob broke down how the right company structure such as Limited Companies , LLPs and Group Structure would be. And in-cooperating can be the difference between haemorrhaging money to HMRC and retaining wealth intelligently and ethically! Key highlights: → How to acquire vehicles and claim legitimate business expenses → Using CGT (Capital Gains Tax) as a strategic tool to acquire assets which to me is just another form of Creative Investing → Entrepreneur's Relief and Reasearch & Development Relief (R&DRel.) which most bussiness owners aren't using these - perhaps even they are not aware of them ! → How to offset losses with the right structure in place.→ Leveraging other people's expertise, time, and money to run a leaner, more efficient business. This connects directly to what we do at Bodrum Property Group. Creative Property Investment isn't just about the deal structure — it's about full ecosystem around it. Ben Knight of TradeTribe on Stocks & Trading: Ben had a solid closing session on trading safely and intelligently — another avenue for building and preserving wealth alongside your property portfolio👌

DAY - 1 & 2 #MONEY MAKERS SUMMIT I came all the way down from #Manchester for this event to #Peterborough. In the 1st 2 days of the Summit my notebook is already full and my mind is buzzing! And I want to share some of the things I have learned and my experinces with you ... Because, it connects and relates directly to what we do in #Bodrum Property Group, #Creative Property investing! #Creative Investment Strategies #Investing Smartly etc. Here are the biggest takeaways from me so far 👇 DAY 1 — #Mindset, Finance & the Power of OPM (Other People's Money)... Ryan Pinnick opened with a session on universal laws around money, mindset, and the conscious vs subconscious mind. The core message? Your results in business and life are a direct reflection of what's running in the background of your mind. The investors who consistently perform aren't just skilled — they're aligned. Their beliefs match their actions. Rob Moore summorised us the history of Money Makers Summit and how it developed and evolved over the years ... One of the proof of this is the inclusion of #AI in this Summit ! AI is already transforming business. He specifically mentioned #Claude as a tool already in play. As someone trying to use new technologies and new tools in our busdiniss AI will also be part of our daily life not only in our bussinesses business- Therefore , Rob is absolutely right there ✅️ Chris Rowell delivered a practical session on using credit cards strategically! He explained how to improve our credit score, building our financial profile, and accessing OPM (Other People's Money). As Creative property investors, this is music to our ears! You do not need to use your own money to build a property portfolio. You need only knowledge, strategy, and the right systems. DAY 2 — The AI Session Nobody Was Fully Prepared For! Sabrina Stocker is an AI expert, specialising in #Claude, and her session was a game-changer. She made it abundantly clear that it's vitally important whether you're a property investor, business owner, or entrepreneur:
