RED and how to pay for it by Judith Morgan
In the third and final – for now – chapter of the Red story, I want to talk about how to find the money to make this cracking little investment.
In previous weeks’ newsletters I have talked about how you might fish out your old pension file and find out that you had “free” money in there you might use.
If you have, you can, as you probably know by now, transfer that into a SIPP, take control of the funds and invest it for your retirement, coming up increasingly quickly for some of us in our Fifties.
Then I talked about how RED could be used to provide free holidays for ten years plus your original stake back, plus the capital growth on your investment, if you were so hedonistically inclined.
And I am, I am. I intend to do both, pension AND holidays!
This week, how else could you pay for RED? And how else can you enjoy the benefits or use the end result?
Speaking personally, I have about £11,000 in two old forgotten and unloved pensions, and ideally I want to get together at least £25k to make this investment, so I can transfer my pension into a SIPP and top up that fund in cash and, subject to how much tax I have paid this year, that will be topped up again by HMRC with tax relief, a very nice little bonus from Gordon, thanks very much! It’s a long time since I have enjoyed anything much back from the Govt.
Where can I get that cash from?
Since RED guarantees a return on your investment of approximately 20% per annum, sometimes more, it makes sense to take it from anywhere I am achieving less than that, so
deposit accounts, ISAs, TESSAs, PEPs and all their tedious little relatives, stocks and shares, dead old bits of pensions, any underperforming investment you are bored with having to declare on your tax return.
It’s worth scraping out the bottom of the filing cabinet to see what you’ve got, now that we have found something really useful to do with it.
It occurs to me that if you can borrow it for less than 20% at a monthly cost of less than you would be contributing to a pension, then you might be wise to consider that also, especially in view of the returns.
Here?s an example of the potential of re-investing over 10 years starting with an initial investment of £25,000:
| Guaranteed Asset Value at year end |
Units Purchased (value) during year |
Number of Units Purchased in total |
Total Rental Income at year end |
|
| Year 1 | £30,000 | £30,000 | 4 | £6,200 |
| Year 2 | £35,500 | £5,000 | 5 | £7,400 |
| Year 3 | £44,500 | £9,000 | 8 | £9,500 |
| Year 4 | £54,000 | £9,500 | 11 | £11,900 |
| Year 5 | £67,000 | £13,000 | 14 | £17,200 |
| Year 6 | £87,000 | £20,000 | 17 | £21,200 |
| Year 7 | £110,000 | £23,000 | 22 | £26,000 |
| Year 8 | £138,500 | £28,500 | 27 | £32,400 |
| Year 9 | £175,000 | £36,500 | 33 | £40,000 |
| Year 10 | £220,000 | £45,000 | 40 | £50,200 |
And assuming you can afford to get in at some level or another, might it be useful to have a reminder about how you could enjoy the benefits?
- A pension in 10 years or less
- Pay off your mortgage in 10 years instead of 25
- Invest for income now (if you are getting on a bit in years and don’t want capital)
- Invest for capital growth to be enjoyed later
- Invest for a combination of both
- Get into property investing without a mortgage in your own name or any liability
- No credit status required, can also be used to repair flawed credit rating
- And finally you can choose to invest with RED and for your investment to go into beachfront and golffront overseas property, UK residential property or UK commercial property.
I’m going to leave off this topic for a couple of weeks now, and find other little ways to remind you about the opportunity. I’m a woman on a Red mission and I know you’ve seen me be on missions before.
But none as good as Red. End of. If you want to know more about how you can pay for RED and benefit from RED or if you just want a chat about how it might help someone you know and/or love, just get in touch with me, Judith{at}themoneygym.com
Week by week I’m winkling you out!
Overseas Property: 10 Years of Free Holidays + Your Money Back – and more!
by Judith Morgan on June 27, 2009
in Money Gym | Property
I know I have been banging on ever since the Property Extravaganza about RED and how it’s all about pensions and SIPPs – and it is.
And about how a self-employed person without a pension can create a really meaningful one in only 10 years with only £25k and no more often using the “free” money locked up in their existing paltry little pension – and that’s right as well.
But RED does all sorts of other interesting things too and this week’s story concerns 10 years free holidays for the price of one, plus your money back (guaranteed) plus the capital gain on your original stake.
Most people ask me to say that again when I tell them about it because it sounds too good to be true! Can I just leave you to read that bit in bold a second time please?
Do you know what the average price of a family holiday is? £3,600.
And with Red, £2,000 or £3,000 would buy you a two week “bit” of a property which is prime beachfront or golf-front in any of the Top 10 sunshine holiday destinations in the world where sunseekers and golfers holiday all-year round.
Your investment would entitle you to stay there for those two weeks for each of the next 10 years if you wanted to, or rent it out privately yourself if you did not or for only an additional £99 you could even swap it to go somewhere entirely different instead.
I know, sounds a bit like timeshare, doesn’t it? But it’s not. Because at the end of the 10 years, the property is sold, you get your original stake back PLUS your share on any capital uplift on the building.
For instance, if your £3,000 had bought you a stake in a leveraged beachfront apartment in Spain costing £250,000 and the property had doubled in value in those 10 years, you would be entitled to an additional £10,000 back.
So, let’s get this straight, Judith.
- I pay £3,000 (approximately)? Yes.
- I get 10 years’ free holidays? Yes.
- I get my original £3,000 back at the end of the 10 years, GUARANTEED*? Yes.
- Plus any capital gain on my share of the building when it’s sold, which could be anything from zero to £10,000 or more? Yes.
- And I can do this as many times as I like? Yes.
- And I can do this with multiple units without involving a SIPP at all – either for my private use or via the reinvestment programme where it compounds like gangbusters? Yes.
- Or even mix and match – some for private use, some for reinvestment? Yes.
*And what’s more, your original £3,000 stake is guaranteed by Lloyds of London never to fall below that in value.
I know. The Red story just gets better and better. And this is only the second chapter, there’s more next week and next week and next week, until I run out of delights to share with you.
Want to hear more about Free holidays? After me! Contact me judith [at] themoneygym.com for more information and a telephone consultation.
Next week: How to hoover up all those tedious bits of dreary ISAs, disappointing under-performing investments various including stocks and shares and savings accounts and so on and convert them into RED “bits” which give you a guaranteed return of 20% per annum, straight or compounded for an even more sexy return. You have read the chapter in Nicola’s book about compounding, haven’t you???
RED – the only investment product we have yet seen where your original stake is guaranteed not to fall, underpinned by Lloyds of London. Woo hoo!
Over £5000 Raised For The Big Issue Foundation
by NicolaCairncross on March 25, 2009
in Money Gym | Property
We are so thrilled and proud of all our Money Gym gang – over £5000 raised for The Big Issue Foundation. £4500 from ticket sales and donations, including one from @JennieArmato in Australia, which Judith and I matched, and the possibility of another £5000 from some of the speakers. Here’s me and Anthony North, Head of Fundraising from the Big Issue. The Money Gym helping The Big Issue help the homeless help themselves. The videos will be available soon too for a small donation, so the work goes on.

Handing Over A Very Large Cheque
It’s A Big Issue Alright & You Can Help!
by NicolaCairncross on March 20, 2009
in Money Gym | Property
It’s a Big Issue to me as a Londoner. For the last twenty years of my life, I have been aware of the homeless sleeping rough in my great city. As I go about my business I see plenty of those less fortunate that me. And you don’t know what to do for the best, do you?
I remember once calling Centre Point and asking how I could best help.
I was told not to give people on the streets money as it would simply go straight back into alcohol or drugs. I remember being surprised by how bald a statement that was.
http://www.themoneygym.com/events/property
You know me by now, I tend to think the best of people. I tend to be away with the fairies, living in a pink bubble of loveliness where we are all kind to each other and we have a warm comfy bed to sleep in at night.
And yet, of course, I know life’s not like that. That’s not reality for so many.
On Tuesday evening I met John Bird, the founder of The Big Issue. He pioneered his solution with Gordon and Anita Roddick in 1991 and it was tough love all the way. He said to the homeless “you are part of the problem, you must be part of the solution”.
They offered vendors a leg up and helped them to get started in changing their own lives through their own efforts. Selling the magazine can enable them to get back on their feet.
And if they go first, after three months the Big Issue can step in with all sorts of additional support. You haven’t begun to think what problems you can create for yourself if you don’t have a fixed abode.
Some of those were explained to us on Tuesday evening, along with the startling fact that if you have already enjoyed your 40th birthday, you have passed the average life expectancy of a homeless person.
http://www.themoneygym.com/events/property
Along with Carolyn & Neil, Karen & Rich, we went to see the Real Lives, Real Achievements awards at a laid back venue in Camden. The Big Issue has two of the most wonderful sponsors any little charity could hope for.
1. Cadbury, who not only showered us with free chocolate, but demonstrated how they give vendors two weeks’ work experience at their factories which often leads to full-time jobs. They have taken nearly 170 people off the streets in this experiment.
2. CNN who had helped The Big Issue craft five little films about real vendors and how the Big Issue has made all the difference. We will be showing a couple of those at our event on Saturday.
So what would I say to those who are critical of the way in which charities work? Yes, I know it isn’t always ideal. But TBI has only 14 staff supporting 2500 vendors across the UK. Their way of working is closely aligned with our own values at the Money Gym and I really hope that Saturday will be the first of a long and fruitful relationship us MG property folks have with helping the homeless to help themselves. Our target of £4,500 (when we reach it) is going to make a real impact, a real difference.
http://www.themoneygym.com/events/property
And it will make another dream come true too. Peter Stanley and Greg Southey and I had a number of meetings over the last couple of years trying to find a way to marry up property profits to help the homeless, it seems a natural marriage to us.
We met the awesome Sam Woodlock who is a volunteer worker with TBI, having been a homeless addict herself some time back. She is now married with a child, and happily doing great work co-ordinating Big Issue activities in Covent Garden. For me, she was perhaps the most moving story of the evening – a walking, talking success now helping others out of the place in which she had once found herself.
Not surprisingly I did shed a tear or two. Not as many as I thought because CNN did not fall into the trap of over-sentimentalising these five stories. But they are sad, and they are happy, and it is awesome to see people make a comeback from circumstances which I know I would find impossibly difficult.
There but for the grace of God.
http://www.themoneygym.com/events/property
One of the films is about a lad from Bath who wants to go on the Big Issue sponsored bike ride to Paris. He has raised part of the sponsorship money he needs to take part but at the time of making the film he had neither a bike or all the money for a Passport.
Just THINK what we take for granted!
If you can get free on Saturday and come along and support our fundraiser, that would be fab. Help yourself, help the homeless to help themselves and help us to achieve that lofty target of £4,500. Come and see the CNN films and be inspired to make a difference, if not to the homeless then to someone you can help, perhaps by becoming their landlord.
I don’t know where I would be without the sanctuary of my own home, a place where I can be safe and warm and nurtured by my peace and quiet, my garden, my pussycat, my broadband and by fulfilling relationships with family and friends and work I love.
I am so abundant and grateful and lucky.
Counting my blessings, counting my blessings, counting my blessings and hoping to pay it forward today, tomorrow, everyday and especially Saturday 21st March 2009. That day will be only the start of what we can do to help The Big Issue support the homeless in this very inspirational way.
Thanks for listening
Judith

Anyone Can Do It – Property Investing That Is!
by NicolaCairncross on March 19, 2009
in Money Gym | Property
What am I most looking forward to on Saturday apart from catching up with 200 of my favourite people? What are my anticipated highlights?
Just one woman’s view but it might be useful if you are still sitting on the fence and are a last minute purchaser, still undecided?
Anyone Can Do It, opening inspiration from my mate Peter Stanley.
http://www.themoneygym.com/events/property
Handing over a HUGE cheque to those worth folks at The Big Issue, about which more tomorrow. I am just loving the idea of a marriage between The Money Gym and TBI since they are so entrepreneurial in their approach to homelessness.
The Caribbean Dream by Katharine Wooller. Most of her clients are making their first ever investment in an overseas commercial hotel unit which can create a substantial income from only a tiny deposit.
http://www.themoneygym.com/events/property
A short presentation about SIPPS in which I am anticipating Roger turning us all onto them – and not a moment too soon.
The prizes! So many gorgeous gifts to give away.
One Networking Minute – my experiment to get 60 delegates on stage telling us about themselves. Should be chaotic but fun, I have this image of something akin to The Generation Game!
Rick Otton and his Rent2Own/Lease Options strategies. I ran a teleclass last Friday about this (and if you missed it, please email me and I will sort you out a link to it). My intention was to give an overview of how you can buy a house for only £1.
http://www.themoneygym.com/events/property
Who would be good at this? Anyone who can be taught (by me if necessary) to “get” the maths, creatives who love to look for the deal, people for whom this might be their only route into property ownership and good negotiators. Any one of those, not all of them.
A testimonial flooded in after the call from Heather who is coming on Saturday:
“Thankyou for the recording of Friday’s teleclass. It was of great interest to me. The thing is I can think of at least 3 properties I have looked at in the past month which would be perfect to “control” in this way – properties I know I could rent out and easily cover the mortgage payment and some each month. It means that there is the potential to help people with very little or even no equity in their property which it would not be possible to do with the traditional BMV purchase. I think the most exciting thing is that there is the potential for monthly cashflow if that’s what you need, but also if you want to use this strategy for adding to your own portfolio some deals will be suitable for that as well, but without the need to immediately find a large deposit – perfect! I’m looking forward to learning more on the 21st”
By George, she’s got it! There are so many routes to making money and/or buying property using these techniques which are all in the negotiation. Rick has promised to put up some real worked examples so we can understand even more about this and how to do it.
I really love to see the penny drop and will be looking for that on your faces on Saturday. We also run a Money Gym special interest Google Group for all those involved in Rent2Own and if you decide to take this further, we will look forward to have you join us there. We can help you to get those few important deals under your belt.
Last but absolutely not least, the triple whammy of being able to meet Martin Roberts from TV’s Homes Under The Hammer who opens the presentation for Unique and Henderson. Two sides to the same business sharing one absolutely unique benefit – your capital investment is guaranteed and underwritten by Lloyds.
Unique offer the chance to buy ten years’ holidays for the price of one average family holiday AND they throw in the capital appreciation of the unit you have bought AND the opportunity to take your holidays in your own unit, others’ units or not at all and take the rental income instead.
Henderson offer the same thing but multiple units with a reinvestment programme for the rental income which means you end up with a lot of overseas real estate and an income pot, all compounding nicely for you with that same capital guarantee underwritten at Lloyds again.
http://www.themoneygym.com/events/property
I haven’t met Kerry Welch yet who was one of the brilliant minds behind this one although I have met the rest of her team and I am much looking forward to seeing their presentation again. I know that this is an innovative opportunity that many will enjoy and take comfort from that guarantee.
Finally an explosive Q & A panel game where I really hope and expect we will grill the speakers so that they finally convince us what we know in our hearts, that now is precisely the right time to be finding a way – multiple ways – to invest in property.
See you there!
Judith
PS Whilst writing this another handful of tickets sold, total now is 162. So if you ARE intending to come, please book now and bag your seat, your one moment on the stage, and lots of wonderful new ways to make your fortune/pension in property.

37 Reasons | Actually 53 (Tickets Left That Is….)
by NicolaCairncross on March 17, 2009
in Money Gym | Property
With a small posse of Money Gymers I am just off to a Big Issue gigcalled Real Lives Real Achievements, hankies at the ready no doubt. And I am running again through a ginormous To Do List for Saturday and making up another 20 goody bags. Steve and I have synchronised our delegate lists and at the last count (Tuesday mid-day) we are agreed on 146 delegates. And abundant Rebecca Ballard has offered to turn them into badges with me.
http://www.themoneygym.com/events/property
If you are one of those 146 who has booked already or volunteered your help in any way, however small, on behalf of the Big Issue and the Money Gym thank you so much for your abundance and your support for our project.
I am thrilled skinny to notice that out of the 146, all but 60 are known to me personally because they have been to one of our events before, or are Money Gym Silver, Gold or Platinum clients. Three I met at Rent2Own, three are property chaps, eight are personal clients and their partners, ten I have played Cashflow with, two have been to a Money Gym Let’s Talk Money day, two came to an EFT event, two are my Creative Entrepreneur partners, five are members of the Property Boardroom, three were stand-out members of the Women Talk Money team, one is Brett’s Next Level speaker trainee plus her partner, one is involved in the Money Gym Magic project, two I have met over the phone, there’s a husband, a partner and a sister and someone I once sat next to at an event! Phew.
http://www.themoneygym.com/events/property
But I know them all, that’s my delicious point. All initially cyber friends and colleagues, now they are real people in my peer group who know different stuff from me about property, who want to teach and learn and just be there to meet the rest of you. And I love them for coming along to this, lending their support and looking forward to a cracking day out as we all are now.
Can you see the value of a network? Can you feel the value of creating a Property Network which will support you in your resolve after the Property Extravaganza day? Recently our Money Gym clients have been creating local buddy groups to support their route to Financial Freedom and I was reminded yesterday, yet again, while listening to Think and Grow Rich about the importance of a Mastermind Team. But in order to connect, you have to show up, either offline or online. You have to reach out to others so they know you and how you can help and how they can help you.
http://www.themoneygym.com/events/property
So, let me tell you about my plans on Saturday for One Networking Minute.
We have five 15 minute gaps during the day between speakers and in those slots I want to get 10-12 people on the stage each time and given them one minute to explain to a Money Gym property audience who they are, who they can help and what help they need.
I will get the Money Gym Golds and Platinums to do that near Nicola’s slot so they can help her pull the raffle tickets out of the pot for the Money Gym prizes.
I will get the Property Boardroom chaps to do that all together too so they can help me pull out my own prizes for the audience.
And so on.
So if you have time to rehearse your 60 seconds on stage and want one of those 50-60 slots on a first-come first served basis, then do plan your minute in the spotlight. It will be informally done as during those breaks some will be popping off to the loo, speakers will be being de-mic’d and re-mic’d, some will be following the speakers to the break-out rooms for a follow-up question or two and some of you will be hunting down a cup of cha.
But again, in the spirit of the day, it should be fun.
You have been warned. My Cleaning Biz partner Emma is in charge of marshalling you all onto the stage (and she’s an official yacht racing marshal with stopwatch); more details at the first break and on your schedules.
So, the 60 of you I don’t know yet, I shall look forward to putting faces to the names on Saturday.
Oh, and to meeting the two “famous” folk in the audience – David Gray and George Bush. Not the real ones methinks, but our real ones – you never know? Presumably GB is looking for a new job!
Best Wishes
Judith

This Weeks Good News From Judith
by Judith Morgan on March 16, 2009
in Money Gym | Property
This week I slowed down and stopped chasing international tax exiles and busy multi-tasking property entrepreneurs, trying to badger them into finding 30 minutes in which their diary might coincide with Nicola’s and mine so we could interview them.
Do you remember that advert for Cadbury’s Caramel, where a seductive bunny tried to persuade some other (fast) animal to slow down? Well this week I surrendered to that same caramel seduction and stopped chasing. Go with the flow, I reminded myself. So I just sat back and allowed some good ideas to sally forth, about which more later.
I spent all of Tuesday on logistics. Cor Blimey, team! Remind me next time before I do this exactly what’s involved in running a Big Gig. The venue, the AV tech, the laptops, the presenters, the timetables, the presentations, the film cameraman, the photographer, the speakers and their entourages, their lunch requirements, making sure they have their presentations on memory sticks with back up, the volunteer team, the stationery shopping list of sticky labels and pens, the systems for registration and the dispensing of badges and goody bags and how to process 200 people in 30 minutes.
The prizes, the prizes, the prizes – that’s my favourite bit. The abundance of the speakers and their donations, all so we can raise £4,500 for The Big Issue. Wow, is all I can say. In my current totalling of their combined values, I am up to well over £42,500. And with only 200 delegates, the chances of bagging a big one are excellent, especially if you are visualising it coming your way and the speaker of your choice shaking your hand/kissing you and congratulating you on your big win.
I persuaded Nicola and Steve to let me give away 90 days free in the Silver membership of the Money Gym to anyone who had already booked a ticket and then persuaded a friend to come too. That’s 90 days each by the way!
You should have seen me and Steve trying to understand the process for THAT one! At the time of writing, there’s still time for you to cash in on that promo.
Then Marion and I walked through the event, decided what we wanted each volunteer to do on the day, decided who was going to take money for books on sale, who was going to be the Speaker Fairies, and who in charge of logging who won what so I could follow through and make sure each speaker delivered. Marion and Steve are in charge on the day because I shall be on the stage for a change. Fabulous to have such support from folks as passionate as I am about this project and all the good we can do with it. Good for the delegates, good for The Big Issue, good for us.
At the time of writing I am still trying to work out how to use viral marketing to sell the remainder of the tickets – if you can Twitter it, or blog it, or somehow pass the message along, do please do that. If someone mentions your name on their booking form, 90 Silver days will be winging themselves in your direction too.
The Big Issue have us appearing in their magazine dated 16th March, apparently most copies are sold on Mondays and Tuesdays – they have been so helpful it’s not true – and on Tuesday a small select bunch of us are going to scope out what they do at closer quarters at their Real Lives Real Achievements evening at the Proud Gallery in Camden.
I’ve written up most of my 37 reasons to attend and circulated them to our list:
Wriggling the Knobs (8 inspirational reasons)
10 Year’s Holidays for The Price of One (7 financial reasons)
Is that YOUR Raffle Ticket in my Champagne Bucket (5 incentive reasons)
A Hungry Mosquito in a Nudist Camp (10 opportunity reasons)
Stop the Rot, Get a SIPP (three educational reasons)
Total so far 33 reasons, just four more to go early next week. I shall make it my business to be The Killer Reasons!
It’s been another fabulous week. I am learning so much about how to put on a big event, marketing, planning, delivery. Ironic that the last ten years, when I was b****ing about getting out the day job, I was an FD for an events company. Perhaps that explains my love of the live event, I’m so looking forward to the day. I’ve even collected The Big Cheque from the bank, now all that remains is to fill it in. How many more tickets will I sell, how much money will I be able to write in there?
Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported and volunteered so far, especially the enormously patient Mr Steve Watson who himself has made a donation of his time worth £1200 for the prize fund.
And finally, I am cooking up something extra special for those new Silver Members which I may be able to roll out to all Silver members and perhaps even to create something ongoing for them. Silver membership is all about self-study. Its uber affordable access to all or most of what the Money Gym offers, without the 1-2-1 coaching. So I am thinking of setting up a little pilot scheme to get the new ones through their first 90 days so that they derive maximum value from it and will want to continue their relationship with us. I can’t think about this much before the 21st, but I will announce it before 1st April – another exciting creative project coming your way. Left alone to study, how many are successful? In all my years with the Money Gym, I can think of only one shining example.
It’s all go. This is my last Good News piece for the ezine before the Property Extravaganza.
Have I done enough to get you there?
37 Reasons | The Good News About Property – Part #5

in Money Gym | Property
Day Five in my series of 37 Reasons why you should attend our Money GymProperty Extravanganza on Saturday 21st March 2009, in Central London, in aid of The Big Issue homeless charity. A little recap first…
Day One – 8 reasons all about inspiration
Day Two – 7 financial reasons
Day Three – 5 incentive reasons (bribes)
Day Four – 10 reasons about opportunity
Total so far 30, so only 7 to go then…
Day Five – 3 Educational Reasons:
1. Find out what a SIPP is, how it’s about one thousand per cent more interesting than it sounds, how it’s not perhaps the easiest of things to understand but how when you discover what it can do for you and the tax breaks lurking inside, how very much you will want one. Meet Roger, the man I have found to teach us about SIPPS and how we can use them to invest in commercial property in the UK and overseas.
Discover how to convert those little bits of funds sitting in old pensions into a meaningful financial instrument you can use to take control of your finances in invest in something without using your own money. Take the power back from the under-performing City fund manager and have some fun with it – learn to enjoy creating your own pension, often within 10 years or less.
2. Learn something new or be reminded of something you know already but haven’t auctioned yet. And remember what Nicola says (and, I think, Roger Hamilton too) “to know and not yet to do is not yet to know”. Convert your “I know” into “I am”.
3. Stop the rot of any investing errors you have may have made and learn how to survive and thrive. Speaking personally, I am living proof that this is possible and fun! Its never too late to start to implement a new strategy which will turn your negatives into positives.

Look out for my remaining tiny handful of reasons to be cheerful about property.

Day Three in my series about my favourite 37 Reasons why you might come to our Money Gym Property Extravaganza in London on 21st March in aid of the Big Issue. The Incentives. The Bribes. And what whoppers they are!
http://www.themoneygym.com/events/property
In no particular order of importance – you must rate that for yourself:
1. Prizes totalling £42,500 and rising – from a holiday in one of the overseas investment properties, to portfolio places worth £10,000, to mentoring, books, Wembley tickets, coaching sessions, Belgian chocolates, audio CDs, days out, lunches, Money Gym memberships and products, a blog makeover or creation session worth £1200 – the abundance just keeps on rolling. And because the number of raffle tickets is only one per delegate, the chances of you winning a big prize are 1 in 200. I hope you are visualising the one you want? Can you feel it?
2. Discounts – at least two of the speakers have created special discounted versions of their products and services specially for attendees, available uniquely on the day.
3. Free Money Gym Silver memberships for 90 days – a special promotion we have just launched. If you have booked your ticket and can persuade someone else to come too – via Twitter, your blog, word of mouth or email invitation and they quote your name in their booking, both of you qualify for free Silver membership of the Money Gym for 90 days.
4. Goody bags containing millions of pounds, credit cards, coins, magic pencils and that all important raffle ticket (see 1).
5. A free personalised follow-up phone consultation with me for all delegates. This is to help you to evaluate the investment opportunities we shall showcase that day, or provide you with the support you need to put either your first step on the property ladder or the next step.
Can you be bribed? Yes, me too! If the price is right…

I hope it’s YOUR number I pull from the champagne bucket.

PS I’m contemplating setting up a special accountability group for all those new SilverMembers we shall create that day… watch this space.
