There's nothing wrong with backing yourself but, as a country, we have some pretty high and mighty ideas sometimes. A good example is the previous Labour government's approach that, when it comes to tourism, we should only try to get the people with truckloads of money to come here for a holiday. What they called the “higher value tourists”. And I'm delighted that the Government is saying we need to get over ourselves and pretty much anyone and everyone who wants to visit from overseas is going to be welcome to come here. Nicola Willis, the new economic growth minister, is making the very good point that it was all very well for the previous government to think that getting the people with big money over here was the better bet. But that was no guarantee of big spending. She's saying today: “I want all tourists. Because, ultimately, it's not the government that decides how much a tourist spends when they come to New Zealand. The tourist will make that decision.” She says: “Our job is to make it easy for them to come in the door, easy for them to come to New Zealand. Then, when they get here, I've got great faith in our tourism providers that they'll do everything they can to get as many dollars out of those back pockets as possible.” No arguments from me there. Because we are not Venice, we are not overrun with tourists. In fact, I would say that we've never been overrun with tourists, not even before Covid. Tell that to the bloke in Queenstown though who got into an argument with a mate of mine in a burger bar there one night. We were there with a whole bunch of people and this guy was telling us how much of a pain in the backside it was to have all us out-of-towners there. “Loopies” he called us. I remember, back in the day, the locals in Wanaka used to talk about all the “loopies” coming to visit for a holiday, as well. But, as my mate politely pointed out to this guy in the burger bar - no tourists, no visitors, no Queenstown. Even our lot. Who were there on the smell of an oily rag. Another thing too is that, if we're totally honest with ourselves, we're not actually that special compared to all the other countries that international tourists have the option of visiting. Yes, New Zealand is beautiful. And when you go to places like Glenorchy, near Queenstown, for example —which I did a few weeks back, and which is a stunning part of the country— it reminds you what a special place this is. But there are lots of other special and beautiful places in the world too. Which is why I think it's great that the Government plans to get us off this high horse that the last government put us on when it comes to the type of people we want to try and get over here for a holiday. Why I think it's great that the new thinking, is that anyone who wants to come here is welcome. But. And there's always a but – actually, there are a couple of buts. One of them, is that tourism is not a silver bullet on its own. Because, generally, tourism jobs don't pay all that well. The other but —and this is the more significant one— is that if this is the approach the Government's going to take, it has to do more than what Nicola Willis is talking about. Because it's all very well to say that it's the Government's job to get the tourists here and it's the tourism operators' job to get as much money as possible out of them once they're here. But, as people in places like Franz Josef know, more visitors means more demand for basic services like public toilets and all that stuff – a demand that local councils just can't afford to meet. And this is where the Government is going to have to have more skin in the game if it really wants this open-door policy to reap the economic benefits that it wants. So yes, ditch the pipedream that New Zealand is only a place for wealthy tourists and sell us to the world and get as many visitors here as you can. But don't leave it to locals and their struggling councils to provide all the basic services and facilities that these visitors are going to need once they get here.

Owen Vaughan: OneRoof Editor says recession fears are making people cautious about house prices

House prices have fallen by an average of $90,000 in parts of New Zealand after a turbulent year in the property market. That meant homeowners who bought at the height of the property boom in late 2021 could find themselves with mortgages larger than the value of their home, especially in Auckland and Wellington. But there were also some positives: the fall in prices was allowing more first-home buyers onto the property ladder. The OneRoof Property Report for 2022, published today, captured the huge market shift during the year and highlighted some risks on the horizon for homeowners. The housing market went from “fear of missing out” to “fear of overpaying”, Oneroof editor Owen Vaughan said, as a boom which started during Covid gave way to falling prices, tighter lending and uncertainty about the year ahead. Nationwide, the average property value fell by 8.15 per cent, or nearly $90,000, since a high of $1.1m at the end of February. Values fell in every region except the West Coast. Homeowners in Wellington and Auckland were worst affected. The average property value fell 17.7 per cent ($201,818) in the Greater Wellington region since prices peaked in March, with some central suburbs taking a price hit of more than $400,000. This was largely because of the withdrawal of Auckland investors who had driven much of the inflation since the Covid-19 pandemic. In Auckland, average property values fell 12 per cent (more than $180,000) since the peak. James Wilson, head of valuations at Valocity, said the fall in prices in 2022 was the largest since 2010, but had to be seen in context: the boom since Covid was one of the strongest New Zealand had ever experienced, with average growth of 33 per cent nationwide between early 2020 and early 2022. While the fall in prices may make the market more affordable for some, it raises concerns about negative equity for those who bought at the market's peak. “The data shows that the homeowners who purchased in late 2021 and early 2022 are more likely to be in negative equity position now,” Wilson said. “Investors, those with more than two properties, are likely to be less exposed as a result of the 40 per cent deposit requirements for investment properties.” Nicki Cruickshank, the principal of Tommy's real estate in Wellington, said prices went higher than expected in 2021 so the drop this year was to be expected - but she had not expected the turnaround to be so sudden. “But in the big picture most people own houses for 10 years-plus so overall they've still done well.” Sanjeev Jangra, a Loan Market mortgage adviser who works in Auckland's south, said interest rate hikes took people by surprise, especially last year's borrowers who were not expecting them to go so high so fast. There had been some positives for those wanting to get into the market. Jangra noted a switch in his client base from 40-50 per cent investors to around 80 per cent first-home buyers. Investors did not have enough equity after prices fell 15-20 per cent, he said. Looking ahead to 2023, Wilson said he expected property values were likely to keep falling but at a slower rate. A range of factors would have an impact on the market, including reduced sales activity, the election, and the Reserve Bank's inflation battle. “Inflation is the elephant in the room and won't disappear overnight. But while cost of living pressures are reaching across nearly all parts of our daily lives, we're actually not seeing a significant drop in spending and that's probably because a lot of people still haven't had to fix their mortgage at a higher rate,” Wilson said. “When that happens and those mortgage rates begin to really bite, then spending is likely to dry up. Obviously, that has bigger economic impacts but the key question is: will inflation be tamed by traditional policy or will a hard, economic landing do the job? At this point, a lot of signs point to a harder landing than would be ideal.” Highs and lows Steepest fall from market peak (region): Greater Wellington - down 17.68% ($201,818) from market peak of $1.14m Steepest fall from market peak (suburb): Waterloo, in Lower Hutt - down 23.9% ($279,200) from market peak of $1.168m Highest average property value: Herne Bay, in Auckland - $3.816m (down 2.3%, $91,000, on the previous year) Lowest average property value: Ohai, in Southland - $158,000 (up 28.5%, $35,000, on the previous year) Highest 12-month value change: Glenorchy, in Queenstown-Lakes - up 28.9% to $1.446m Lowest 12-month value change: Waiwhetu, in Lower Hutt - down 19.7% to $783,000 Highest five-year value change: Raetihi, in Ruapehu - up 212.3% to $406,000 Lowest five-year value change: Auckland Central, in Auckland - up 0.3% to $612,000 *Current to the end of October 2022 Top settled sale: Paritai Drive, in Orakei, Auckland.

Risk doesn't just come in one flavour, yet The Brain Audit takes away a ton of that risk. In this second episode on risk, we take a forensic look at what happens when you release a new version of your product or service. Is it still the same product or service? Or is the risk magnified many times over? And how do you overcome such an unwarranted risk? We also look at pre-sell and why it reduces, almost eliminates risk. Why pre-sell done right is like a soothing balm that doesn't seem to bother the client (or you) very much. This episode is loaded with the biggest reasons why clients don't buy, and why pre-sell works like magic. You'll love it, guaranteed (Ok, that was a joke). But really, you'll like it a lot! --------------------   In ‘part 2 of this 2-part series’ Sean talks about Part 1: What’s the link between risk and pre-sell Part 2: How pre-sell works like magic Part 3: The big reasons why clients don’t buy Right click here and ‘save as’ to download this episode to your computer.

And a film release in India is like movie releases anywhere in the world of cinema. Trailers, interviews with the actors, publicity and the hoopla. It’s all part of the strategy to ensure that the movie is a stunning success. While back in 1964, a movie would be release six to eight weeks before the film release. However, by the 1990s, the music was being released three months or more—before the official launch of the movie. But what’s the link between risk and pre-release of the music? Since most Hindi movies are musicals, the songs are the primary reason most people go to the cinema. If the songs are catchy—and become hits, the movie’s success is guaranteed. When you look at it, an overwhelming number of Hindi movies have a similar plot. There’s a good guy, a bad guy, a romance between the hero and heroine—and lots of dancing and singing. There’s so little variation in scripts that the only risk for the moviegoer is—will I be entertained? When they listen to the songs in advance, the risk is removed. Pre-sell reigns supreme and the movie is a super hit! So what is pre-sell? Pre-sell doesn’t involve sales at all. In fact, it’s a systematic dispensation of information. A simple example of pre-sell would be a wedding being held next summer. At first, there’s no information at all. Then, one day the bride and groom-to-be announce they’re going to get married. And now we have a countdown of sorts. There are announcements along the way and events. What you’re getting is a drip feed of information that goes all the way to the wedding day itself. The reason you and everyone else shows up on the day—and at the event, is because of pre-sell. When you pre-sell, there’s limited risk because the very act of pre-sell is drip, drip, drip One of the biggest reasons why clients don’t buy is because they feel pressure. They feel they’re about to make a decision they could regret. And it’s more than likely their brains have been drummed with messages of “sleep on it, sleep on it, sleep on it”. In most cases, sleeping on anger may help a great deal. If you’re irritated and angry, it’s a jolly good idea to sleep on it. However, when buying a product, or service, the information rarely changes from one day to the next. What holds clients back, most of the time, is the fear of making a decision they’ll regret. The run up to anything reduces this pressure Take for instance the 2017 workshop in New Zealand. It’s in beautiful Queenstown—in the South Island. Now you may have heard of the beauty of New Zealand, but you go south, and it rocks. Queenstown is incredibly beautiful, has stunning views, and there’s one more thing you have to do when you’re in Queenstown. You need to take the road to Glenorchy. It doesn’t matter where you’ve been on the planet, and no matter how many amazing things you’ve seen—the road to Glenorchy is breathtaking. What you just heard was a pitch for 2017 But it didn’t sound like a pitch, did it? And the reason it doesn’t sound quite that way is because approximately 363 odd days stand between now and the workshop. As the workshop is mentioned more often, you start to feel this urge to visit the last stop before Antarctica—yes, New Zealand. You think, well, it’s now or never. Sure it’s going to be a long trip. Sure it’s going to cost a small fortune, but it’s a workshop—and you think—well, I can write it off as a business expense. What are the chances of me visiting New Zealand and finding a business reason to do so? In your head, you’re selling the event to yourself. Now make no mistake. This place called Queenstown is no mirage. It doesn’t matter how many pictures and videos you see—it will still blow your socks off. And because of the distance between the event and your decision, you feel no risk, only great expectations. Pre-sell is the best way to sell a product or service At Psychotactics, we roll out a pre-sell for almost every product or service. There’s the pre-sell right before a course or product launch—like the one we’re doing right now for the Article Writing Course. But there’s also the long pre-sell. If you were on the Psychotactics list, you would have received a simple chart that gave you details about all our courses and products for the year. That too—it’s a pre-sell. And the moment a course finishes, alumni are encouraged to post their experiences of the course in our membership site at 5000bc. The pre-sell for the next year’s course starts almost the second the previous one has finished. What’s interesting to note is that no details are mentioned. No prices, no dates—it’s all pretty vague. So yes, you know about Queenstown, and you know about New Zealand. And you know there’s a workshop, but you don’t know the month or the name of the workshop or even how much it will cost. And yet, notice how you want to find out more—even if you have no plans of getting to New Zealand That’s what pre-sell does: It reduces risk like crazy simply because it’s way out there in future-land. It has this feeling of being risk-free and what it’s doing is creating a slow but steady percolation of information. No pressure, no hard-sell, but just this tiny little snippet of information coming your way. It’s the way Hindi movies make their way to the launch date. It’s how weddings attract a full house when a simple Sunday lunch can be a problem. It’s how most of the products and services are sold by us at Psychotactics. It’s also the reason clients sign up so quickly. Once you’ve been given information in bits and pieces, you don’t need any more. The risk has left the building, and you’re ready to buy! And that brings us to the end of this series on risk. Let’s take a quick run around the block and do a little summary! Coming Soon. Don’t forget to read this article—How Pre-Sell Sold The Article Writing Course In Fewer than 24 Hours. http://www.psychotactics.com/pre-sell-article-course/

In this episode I welcome Alex Turnbull into the virtual hanger. Alex is a mountain flying instructor at the Wakatipu Aero Club in Queenstown, New Zealand. This is another episode of what you can do with your certificate aside from the typical $100 hamburger or pancake breakfast flight. Listen in as Alex talks about mountain and remote strip flying in this unique and challenging airspace. He also talks about the unique requirement of private pilot training in New Zealand, hint it involves mountain flying.I hope Steve and Grant from the Plane Crazy Down Under podcast don't get angry with me for encroaching on their part of the world.Below is information from Gareth Allen, in charge of promotion for the club, on the club itself and the area.The aero club flies four cessna 172s, a cessna 206, and a Tecnam P2002JF. Most of the club revenue comes from flights into Milford Sound, a popular scenic area, with a challenging approach and landingat Milford Sound airstrip. The strip itself is 1800ft long, at the intersection of two valleys and the sound itself, producing a washing machine of turbulence, and an awkward traffic pattern. On busy summer days the airspace can get quite busy, with Islanders, Caravans, and smaller planes shuffling tourists in and out from Queenstown. Weather in the area is quite changeable, making the flight impossible roughly a third of the days during the summer, as all tourism operations are done under VFR. Often when weather is marginal, some passes into the area will be closed, making local knowledge of the network of creeks and valleys in and out of the sound essential.Flight training makes up the rest of the club's income, with a mixture of overseas and local pilots earning PPLs, CPLs, and doing mountain flight training. There is no instrument flight training at Queenstown,as the IAFs are all at ~10k feet, and the DHs at 4000 (runway elevation is 1200ft). The specialty here is mountain flying, as every flight that leaves Queenstown interacts with the mountains, and thereare an almost endless supply of new valleys to explore. A few dozen remote strips of ranging difficulty within a half hour's flight round out the saddle-crossing, low flight, and contour flight training.There's also a beach landing strip 40 minutes away, for beach operations training.Given Queenstown's reputation as the "adventure capitol of the world," many tourists want an aviation experience that is less scenic, and more exhilarating. The club gives trial flights daily during thesummer months, mostly to foreign tourists, through the river valleys and back over the lake to Queenstown. At the high end of the adrenaline spectrum is the aerobatic flight, using a Pitts Special.The Pitts is known for being extremely difficult to fly, and especially to land. It can't be landed with a "wheel landing" and instead needs a three-point landing. At that flight attitude there is zero forward visibility, meaning that pilots must use peripheral vision to keep lined up with the runway and avoid ground looping. You can find more about the Wakatipu Aero Club at their website http://www.wakatipuaeroclub.com/You can Email them at  frontdesk@wakatipuaeroclub.comAnd you can follow them on Twitter @AirWakatipu Here is a short video showing one of the local strips the club uses for advanced strip training:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCZs91EYI-khttps://maps.google.com/maps?q=Lucas+Place+Queenstown+Airport+Queenstown,+New+Zealand&hl=en&ll=-45.015727,168.74897&spn=0.040956,0.090895&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=46.677964,93.076172&hnear=Lucas+Pl,+Frankton,+Queenstown+9300,+Otago,+New+Zealand&t=h&z=14Blue skies and tailwinds always.You can reach me at TheNewPilotPodBlog@gmail.comPlease send comments and suggestions.You can follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/NewPilotPodBlogAnd LIPilot on myTransponder.comPlease join the myTransponder.com group Friends of The New Pilot PodBlog.The New Pilot PodBlog is now on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/TheNewPilotPodBlogThe intro and closing song is called On The Run 1 and it is by www.pacdv.com/sounds/Direct access to the mp3 is here
