In today's show Simon Kuestenmacher and I discuss the significant shift of millennials from urban living to suburban areas. We highlight how millennials are reshaping suburban culture while still valuing aspects of their urban lifestyles. This is a generation that once embraced city skylines, inner-city cafes, and the hustle of urban living, but is now packing up and heading for the burbs. But not for the white picket fence alone. We explore the reasons behind this migration, the changing dynamics of suburban life, and the challenges related to infrastructure and housing markets.   We also discuss the challenges faced by regional towns, the need for strategic planning to manage population growth, and the potential for revitalising communities through targeted migration and infrastructure development.     Takeaways  ·         Millennials are shifting from urban to suburban living, impacting housing markets. ·         Population growth is concentrated in major cities, leading to uneven development. ·         Regional towns face challenges due to aging populations and job shortages. ·         Revitalizing regional areas requires targeted migration and job creation. ·         A national demographic strategy is essential for managing population growth. ·         The two-speed economy creates social divides between urban and rural populations. ·         Infrastructure development is crucial for accommodating population growth. ·         Future planning must consider sustainable living and job opportunities in regional areas. ·         Understanding demographic trends is vital for future generations.     Chapters  02:08 Millennials: From Urbanites to Suburbanites 05:18 The Suburban Renaissance: Challenges and Opportunities 07:54 Infrastructure and Planning for the New Suburbs 10:58 Housing Market Dynamics: Millennials and Migration 14:17 The Future of Work: Hybrid Models and Urban Spaces 17:07 Government's Role in Suburban Development 20:20 Cultural Shifts: Millennials Redefining Suburban Life   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully ·         Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Simon Kuestenmacher: Australia's leading demographer and partner in the Demographics Group   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Also, please subscribe to my other podcast, Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

Australia's housing market is under pressure from many directions, but one of the most overlooked barriers is stamp duty. Once a relatively modest transaction cost, stamp duty has ballooned into one of the biggest financial hurdles for homebuyers. Just to give you an idea – in Sydney, stamp duty on a median-priced house has gone from around 45% of a household's disposable income in 2000 to 120% today. And it's not just buyers who are suffering. Stamp duty distorts housing decisions, locks people into homes that no longer suit them, and acts as a handbrake on productivity. Today, I'm joined by Dr Nicola Powell, Chief of Research and Economics at Domain, whose recent report makes a compelling case for replacing stamp duty with a fairer, broad-based land tax. Whether you're a property investor, a home buyer, or just somebody who's interested in the housing markets, I'm sure today's chat with Dr Nicola Powell will give you a new perspective as I also want to discuss their latest report on who has profited from property over the last few years.   Takeaways  ·         A growth mindset is essential for success in property investment. ·         Stamp duty presents significant financial barriers for home buyers and investors. ·         The burden of stamp duty has increased over time, affecting housing mobility. ·         Capital gains tax on family homes could discourage movement and exacerbate housing issues. ·         Stamp duty is economically inefficient, costing more in lost activity than it raises. ·         Housing misallocation is a significant issue in Australia, with many living in homes that exceed their needs. ·         Consumer confidence is a key driver of property market trends and price growth. ·         Longer holding periods for properties generally lead to greater capital gains. ·         Location plays a crucial role in property investment success. ·         Reform of stamp duty is necessary for improving housing mobility and economic productivity.     Chapters  01:58 Introduction 05:14 Australians Holding Their Homes for Longer 08:07 How Stamp Duty Deters People from Moving 09:56 The Inefficiency of a Stamp Duty 11:34 The Caveats of a Stamp Duty Reform 14:02 Recent Domain Report Results 18:35 The Confidence has Come Back into the Market   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully.  Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.     Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here   Dr Nicola Powell, Chief of Research and Economics at Domain  https://www.domain.com.au/news/author/dr-nicola-powell/   Domain's property profit and loss report:https://www.domain.com.au/research/profit-and-loss-report-1410018/ Domain's Stamp Duty suggestions: https://propertyupdate.com.au/stamp-duty-is-holding-australia-back-why-we-need-bold-reform/?   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au     Also, please subscribe to my other podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for  Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

This winter has shaped up as the strongest property market we've seen in a long time, with strong buyer activity and rising confidence cutting through the usual seasonal slowdown. In today's show Dr. Andrew Wilson and I discuss how results have been far from uniform – Sydney is surging ahead with particularly strong performance, while conditions across the other capitals are more varied, reminding us just how segmented Australia's housing markets really are. We explore the impact of government initiatives for first home buyers, the performance of various regional markets, and the implications of inflation and interest rates on housing prices. The conversation concludes with an optimistic outlook for the housing market as it heads into the spring selling season.   Takeaways  ·         Interest rates have been cut, leading to increased buyer activity. ·         The property market is fragmented, with varying performance across regions. ·         Government schemes for first home buyers are expected to boost demand. ·         Brisbane is showing extraordinary growth in property prices. ·         Melbourne's market is recovering, particularly in the prestige segment. ·         Inflation concerns may impact future interest rate decisions. ·         The spring selling season is typically the strongest for property sales. ·         Lower interest rates are driving positive growth in the housing market. ·         The national median house price has seen consistent monthly rises. ·         Market conditions suggest a potential for double-digit growth in some areas.     Chapters  01:07 Introduction 01:45 Introduction to the Winter Property Market 04:02 Quarterly Median House Prices 09:57 Quarterly Median Unit Prices 13:02 First Home Owner Deposit Scheme 14:39 Property Values Forecast 17:14 Conclusions and Future Predictions   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing. ·          Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here    Also, please subscribe to my other podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for  Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

Today I'm joined by Ross Elli, a respected urban thinker and commentator, and we discuss something most politicians and planners are ignoring: the danger of concentrating 70% of Australia's population into just eight capital cities, and doing it without a real plan. We explore the challenges of infrastructure, the concept of the missing middle in housing, and the need for a national settlement strategy to address the growing population and its impact on quality of life.   Whether you're a property investor, policymaker, or simply someone sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic wondering where it all went wrong, this episode of the Michael Yardney Podcast is going to challenge the way you think about growth, planning, and the future of our cities.   Takeaways  ·         Australia's population growth is concentrated in a few major cities. ·         High-density living does not necessarily reduce traffic congestion. ·         There is a significant gap in housing supply and demand. ·         The concept of the 'missing middle' in housing is contentious. ·         Infrastructure development has not kept pace with population growth. ·         Regional centers can offer a better quality of life than major cities. ·         Government policies need to address urban planning holistically. ·         Decentralization strategies have not been effectively implemented in Australia. ·         Community opposition often hinders new housing developments. ·         A national settlement strategy is essential for sustainable growth.   Chapters    00:00 The Urban Dilemma: Population Growth and Infrastructure 07:31 The Myths of Density and Urban Planning 12:38 The Missing Middle: Densification Challenges 17:55 Regional Opportunities: Rethinking Settlement Strategies 23:08 Decentralization: Lessons from the Past 28:18 Future Visions: A Balanced Australia   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing.

Have you ever looked at a tired old property and thought, “There's potential there,” but weren't quite sure what to do with it? Well, today's show could be the spark you need. Because we're talking about one of the most powerful – and underutilised – strategies for building wealth through property: strategic renovation. In a world where construction costs are soaring and affordability is stretched, more investors are realising that they don't have to wait for the market to deliver capital growth – they can manufacture it themselves. And joining me to unpack this is Greg Hankinson – property renovations and development expert and director of Metropole Developments. Greg's seen it all – from simple kitchen facelifts to full-scale value-add renovations through to medium density developments, and he's here to share his experience, tips, and insights to help you make your next investment a profitable one. We talk through the key fundamentals of a profitable renovation, how to assess a property's potential, the pros and cons of reno vs. new build, and how many successful developers started by simply buying, renovating, and holding.   Takeaways  ·         You can create wealth through renovations, not just market appreciation. ·         The renovation process requires careful planning and understanding of costs. ·         Successful renovations can lead to significant increases in property value. ·         It's essential to identify properties with renovation potential. ·         Avoid common mistakes like overcapitalizing or DIYing without experience. ·         Understanding local regulations and permits is crucial for renovations. ·         Market conditions can affect the feasibility of renovation projects. ·         Investing in renovations can provide better rental yields and lower vacancy rates. ·         A strategic approach to property investment is necessary for long-term success.   Chapters  00:00 Unlocking Property Potential through Strategic Renovations 01:56 Introduction to Renovations and Property Development 04:43 Understanding the Profitability of Renovations 10:12 Financing Renovations and Building Equity 12:29 Common Mistakes in Renovation Projects 17:57 Assessing Renovation Potential in Properties 20:36 Opportunities in the Current Market 23:15 Conclusion and Future Steps in Property Development   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing ·         Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond   Join us at the Ultimate Property Development Workshop in Melbourne on November 8th Click here for all the details https://realestateworkshop.com.au/   Greg Hankinson -  Director, Metropole Constructions    Interested in getting involved at the “wholesale” end of the property market?

Imagine inviting thousands of people to a party… but forgetting to organise enough food, chairs, or bathrooms. That's essentially what Australia is doing by ramping up migration while failing to plan for the housing and infrastructure to support it. Today, Simon Kuestenmacher and I discuss why we can't keep separating housing policy from migration policy. The conversation around our housing crisis is often framed around interest rates, investors, or planning delays. But there's a critical dimension we keep avoiding: Australia's housing and migration policies are completely out of sync, and this is causing systemic damage.   Takeaways  ·         Australia is experiencing a housing crisis due to rapid migration without adequate infrastructure. ·         Every decision contributes to the future we build, akin to laying bricks in a house. ·         The disconnect between housing and migration policies is creating significant challenges. ·         Young people and low-income earners are increasingly priced out of the housing market. ·         Government policies need to be proactive rather than reactive to address housing shortages. ·         The current planning system is outdated and hinders timely housing development. ·         Property taxes are a major contributor to housing unaffordability. ·         A national housing target linked to migration levels could stabilize the market. ·         Lessons from other countries show the importance of strategic migration policies. ·         Long-term planning is essential for sustainable urban development and infrastructure.     Chapters  00:00 - Migration Without Infrastructure 04:01 - What's been happening to immigration 08:43 - Property Taxes 09:00 - Housing Affordability Crisis 15:48 - Housing Demand Caused by the Migration 24:52 - Infrastructure Planning Area 33:55 - Final Thoughts   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully ·         Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report   Michael Yardney Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Simon Kuestenmacher: Australia's leading demographer and partner in the Demographics Group   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Also, please subscribe to my other podcast, Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

Have you noticed how Australia's property market seems to have roared back to life recently? After a sluggish 2024, Domain's latest House Price Report shows all eight capital cities recorded house price growth in the June quarter – for the first time in four years. And it's not just houses. Unit prices are surging too, often outpacing houses as buyers chase affordability. So what's behind this rebound? Rate cuts, increased demand, and a lingering supply shortage have all played a role. But is this recovery sustainable? Will further rate cuts continue to fuel prices, or are there headwinds ahead? To help us unpack this, I'm joined by Dr Nicola Powell, Chief of Research and Economics at Domain.  She'll share insights from Domain's June Quarter House Price Report and explain what these trends mean for buyers, sellers, and investors alike. Whether you're a homeowner, an investor, or simply keeping an eye on the market, you'll want to hear what Dr Powell has to say.   Takeaways  ·         Most people only realise the market's turned too late. ·         All eight capital cities recorded house price growth in the June quarter. ·         The turnaround in auction conditions has been very evident across Sydney and Melbourne. ·         First home buyers are looking towards units in Sydney due to affordability. ·         Melbourne's housing market is showing signs of recovery after years of lagging. ·         Brisbane's unit prices are outperforming house prices, indicating a shift in buyer preference. ·         Canberra is on a pathway to recovery, with modest price increases. ·         Every state goes through its cycle, affecting property values differently. ·         Rate cuts are expected to boost buyer confidence and market activity. ·         Understanding local market dynamics is crucial for property investment.   Chapters  00:00 - Introduction to Market Trends 02:15 - Sustainability of the current market recovery and future predictions. 13:30 - Sydney and Melbourne Market Analysis 17:00 - Brisbane and Adelaide Market Trends 20:45 - Canberra and Perth Market Updates 24:00 - Conclusion and Future Outlook   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investment ·         Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here    Dr Nicola Powell, Chief of Research and Economics at Domain  https://www.domain.com.au/news/author/dr-nicola-powell/ Domian Property June Quarter House Price Report:  https://www.domain.com.au/research/house-price-report/june-2025/   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Also, please subscribe to my other podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for  Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

There’s been a growing narrative in the media painting property investors as greedy landlords and scapegoats for the housing crisis. But when you look beyond the headlines, the truth tells a very different story. Today, I sit down with Michael Yardney, one of Australia’s leading property strategists, to unpack the real numbers, the overlooked facts, and the critical role investors play in our housing system. Together, we break down why more Australians are choosing to rent—even when they can afford to buy—and how ‘mum and dad’ investors are stepping in to provide housing where government supply falls short. We also dive into the $40 billion in taxes property investors contribute every year, including GST, stamp duty, land tax, and council rates. This isn’t about rorting the system—it’s about funding it. If you’re a property investor, a first home buyer, or just someone curious about the housing debate, this episode will challenge your thinking and offer real insight into what’s going on. Let’s go inside.

In this episode of the Michael Yardney podcast, I discuss the current state of the housing market with Dr. Nicola Powell, Chief of Research and Economics. We explore the impact of federal elections on housing predictions, the effects of political uncertainty, and the concept of Solomon's Paradox in decision-making.  Our conversation also delves into the differences in housing policies between political parties, the ongoing supply and demand issues in the market, and the opportunities available in established properties. The episode concludes with insights on market trends and the importance of making property decisions based on personal circumstances rather than external noise.  Takeaways: The housing market is influenced by federal elections. Rate cuts can improve buyer sentiment and inquiry. Solomon's Paradox highlights our decision-making flaws. Political uncertainty can delay property transactions. Auction outcomes can be surprisingly positive on election days. Labour governments tend to support first home buyers more. Supply issues are a significant challenge in the housing market. Established properties are often undervalued compared to new builds. Market cycles will continue despite political changes. Personal circumstances should guide property investment decisions.

In this episode of the Michael Yardney podcast, I discuss the intricacies of property investment and finance with expert Hung Chuy. We explore the importance of mindset, the role of brokers, and the complexities of managing a property portfolio.   Key topics include understanding interest rates, debt recycling, and the unique challenges of commercial property financing. The conversation emphasizes the need for strategic financial planning and the benefits of using multiple lenders to maximize investment opportunities.   Takeaways  Property investment is fundamentally a finance game. The first arrow represents unavoidable pain, while the second arrow is our response to it. Choosing the right broker can significantly impact your investment success. Interest rates are important, but flexibility in borrowing is crucial. Debt recycling can help turn non-deductible debt into tax-deductible debt. Managing a property portfolio requires careful planning and strategy. Commercial property financing involves more complexities than residential financing. Self-managed super funds have specific borrowing criteria that differ from personal loans. Using multiple lenders can provide better opportunities for equity and borrowing. Mindset plays a critical role in navigating financial challenges.

It’s very easy to get sucked into property market predictions continuously getting pumped out by the media! Today, I’ve brought Michael Yardney back on the show. With 50 years of investing experience, he’s seen more market cycles than most and knows what to pay attention to. We’ll break down the biggest property myths and predictions that experts will get wrong this year. Investing in property is one of the best ways to build wealth—but only if you do it right. The problem? Most investors get it wrong by following short-term hype instead of long-term strategy. With so many "experts" giving conflicting advice, it's easy to feel lost. If you want to avoid costly mistakes and build real wealth, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s go inside!

It's customary at the end of the year to look back at the year that was and then look forward to making some predictions for our housing markets for the year ahead, and in today's show, Dr Andrew Wilson and I explore the trends that will shape the property markets in 2025.    Takeaways        The housing market in 2024 has been consolidating after a strong rebound in 2023. 2025 is likely to be a year of 2 halves, and the markets will rebound when interest rates fall.        Melbourne's property market is underperforming compared to other capitals but offers significant future opportunities as you can buy well located properties with substantial built in equity.        Interest rates will likely remain steady till the middle of 2025, impacting buyer activity and market sentiment.        Over 2024, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide property markets grew strongly and attracted investors, often buying secondary properties sight unseen        Rental growth has slowed due to affordability barriers, but vacancy rates remain extremely low.        Investors are returning to the market, particularly in states with strong capital growth.        The economic outlook remains positive, supporting housing market stability in 2025.        Local factors will drive price growth in 2025, rather than national trends.        Understanding demographic trends is crucial for property investors.        A strategic property plan can help investors navigate the current market conditions with more certainty.   Chapters 01:24 Year in Review: Housing Market Insights 04:16 Trends and Predictions for 2025 07:31 Regional Market Dynamics: Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide 10:19 Melbourne's Market Challenges and Opportunities 13:15 Interest Rates: Current Landscape and Future Outlook 16:10 Investor Behavior and Market Shifts 19:21 Rental Market Trends and Affordability Issues 22:14 Investment Opportunities in a Changing Market 25:04 Consolidation and Future Growth Prospects 32:16 Introduction to Property Investment Trends 36:14 Introduction to Real Estate Investment 36:15 Understanding Market Trends and Analysis 37:39 Special Offers and Resources for Listeners 39:02 Understanding Property Investment Strategies   Links and Resources:   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us  Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au    Also, please subscribe to my new podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for  Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.  Shownotes plus more here: Looking Back, Leaping Forward: Dr. Andrew Wilson's Predictions for 2025

The Reserve Bank wants that, but that may slow inflationary pressures down a little bit. But there's still jobs out there if you're wanting them.” – Michael Yardney “The message here is most of the critics actually sit on the sidelines.

I founded the company Metropole Properties in 1979, but we've been working with clients for almost 25 years now and I decided to step back and enjoy those things we're talking about.” – Michael Yardney “I'd rather bring people up through education, through better jobs, through more skills, through good incentives from the government to allow them to buy their homes as well.” – Michael Yardney “Usually, I've found that people who have had luck actually need to have the hubris, the ego, kicked out of them by the world doing it.” – Michael Yardney PLEASE LEAVE US A REVIEW Reviews are hugely important to me because they help new people discover this podcast.

Negotiation is a game of strategy, and those who master it can achieve great success in the property market. But how do you know if you're a good negotiator? Do you always aim for a win-win, or do you have a secret fallback position that you rely on? In this episode, we explore the art of negotiation with renowned property expert Michael Yardney, who has developed a range of tactics to influence and persuade others to do what he wants them to do. With his book "Negotiate, Influence, Persuade: How to Persuade Others to Do What You'd Like Them to Do," Michael delves into the psychology of deal making, exploring how to achieve your desired outcomes by understanding the other party's perspective. We also discuss whether commonly used negotiation strategies such as aiming for a win-win or meeting in the middle are still effective in today's market, or whether it's time to ditch them and study the psychology of deal making instead. While we'll be viewing negotiation through a real estate lens, Michael's book emphasises that negotiation is a life skill that can be applied to any situation. Whether you're negotiating a property deal or trying to do something otherwise, understanding the psychology of deal making will certainly help you achieve your desired outcome. So if you're looking to improve your negotiation skills and achieve success in the property market, be sure to tune in to this episode and learn from one of the best in the business.

Are New Year's resolutions powerful? Or are they pointless? Every year more than 50% of people make New Year's resolutions. They plan to lose weight, quit smoking, work out, save money, get a promotion, get a raise, move their business to the next level, buy that investment property, and more. And yet, virtually every study tells us that around 80% of New Year's resolutions will get abandoned by this time of the year. So maybe you didn't keep up that resolution to exercise more or go to the gym, but today in my chat with Mark Creedon, founder and CEO of Business Accelerator Mastermind, we're going to talk about how to make 2022 a great year for you. Have you lapsed on your New Year's Resolutions? Whether it's a small, (seemingly) easily achievable goal or a huge, life-changing goal, people tend to fail at the same rate: Approximately 80 percent of people who make New Year's resolutions have dropped them by the second week of February.  Some reasons why your resolutions may have failed. You're treating a marathon like a sprint Small changes stick better because they aren't intimidating. You're in too much of a hurry If it was quick and easy, everybody would do it, so it's in your best interest to exercise your patience muscles. 3. You don't believe in yourself The only way to defeat doubt is to believe in yourself. Who cares if you've failed a time or two? This year, you can try again (but better this time). You don't track your progress Keeping a written record of your progress will help you sustain an “I CAN do this” attitude. You have no social support It can be hard to stay motivated when you feel alone. The good news? You're not alone. You know your what but not your why The biggest reason why most New Year's resolutions fail: you know what you want but not why you want it. So, here are 9 strategies to rescue those resolutions: You can't achieve new goals or make desired changes without allocating time to do so. To make this a better year you will have to do things differently from last year. There are obviously some things you are going to need to keep doing, some new things you will need to do, and a bunch of things you'll have to stop doing to make room for the new, more productive activities. Priorities should govern schedule; schedule shouldn't govern priorities. To have a better year this year you'll have to wrest control away from others' priorities and be governed by your own priorities. Resolutions aren't resolutions without resolve. So, don't bother making resolutions to appease or satisfy others. Be honest with yourself – that's a prerequisite for success. Resolutions require resources. You aren't really serious about a resolution unless you invest in and gather the required resources. Sometimes investment motivates follow-through since you've spent time, effort, and money on it. But don't be held back by limited resource thinking. If you are truly committed, you'll find the resources. Daily Progress Refuse to end any day without doing something that moves you toward the goal, no matter how small! Who motivates the motivator? Any professional sports coach will tell you: measurement automatically improves performance, and measurement monitored by someone else, further improves performance. Build up to change So, say you resolve to get up an hour earlier every morning to work on some projects. You could start with 15 minutes for two weeks, then 20 minutes for two weeks, then 30 minutes for a month, then 45 minutes for two weeks, and then you will find reaching the hour mark a lot more achievable. It's not too late to regroup! You may already have let your resolutions slip away. Doesn't matter. Review the resolution and pick one or two that mean the most and apply the 7 ideas I've just shared with you. Don't try and do it all on your own It's really hard to be successful on your own. You need to find an accountability partner, a group of like-minded people, a coach, or talk to me about Business Accelerator Mastermind and I'll show you how we provide all 3!
