Here’s an extract of an article I recently read:

Certainly, the data shows that the market ‘cooled’ by 3.8% from its peak in February 2008 to its trough in December 2008. But the results for 2009 are clear – despite (or perhaps because of) the uncertainties surrounding the world economy, Australian house prices continue to grow robustly.

What we should all learn from this is that the media does not tell us all the facts, and that we should never bet on the future =)

Today is ANZAC Day… Just incase you don’t know what ANZAC stands for… Australian & New Zealand Amry Corp. ANZAC Day marks the anniversary of the first major military action that Australian & New Zealand was involved in.

The ANZACs got their name after being deployed in an expedition to capture the Gallipoli Peninsula, Turkey. The plan for the expedition was bold and had it succeeded it would have brought the War much closer to the end… Though the campaign failed, the incredible personal qualities the soldiers on the battlefield shown during their hardship have now become the true spirit of ANZACs. The endurance, courage, ingenuity, good humour, and mateship of Australian & New Zealand soldiers now lives on as the ANZAC spirit. This ’spirit’ is in all Australian and New Zealanders (and hopefully many others) and ANZAC Day is all about remembering the sacrifices and those remarkable qualities which is inside everybody today.

I hope you have a special ANZAC Day today and find some time to look deep inside to reflect on some of the ANZAC qualities you have within yourself!

I’ve just found out that the Australian First Home Owner Grant bonus ($14,000 for existing property and $21,000 for new property), is unlikely to continue.

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd has confirmed the first home buyers grant will not be extended past its deadline of June 30.

Under the government’s $1.5 billion first home buyers boost, the first home buyers grant was doubled from $7000 to $14,000 last October.

Those first home buyers who purchase a new home receive an extra $7000 to take the total cost of government assistance to $21,000.

The construction and real estate industries have hailed the boost with some calling on it to be continued.

They have voiced fears that if the grant is removed the real estate market will collapse.

The Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) described the move as ”very disappointing” and called on the Government for more stimulus measures.

There’s been a lot of speculation about whether the First Home Owner Grant Bonus would continue or not through the current economic situation, and as a first home owner myself, I had some mixed feelings about it. On one hand you get an extra $7,000 incentive to get into the property market, on the other hand the property prices may be more inflated than they should be.

Either way, I’ve been having a look at what’s out on the market… it’ll be a matter of time before I get my hands on one regardless of the First Home Owner Grant incentive. I’m quite interested in what property prices will look like when the last of the First Home Owner Grant buyers are out of the market.

My economics tells me that when demand falls, price falls….

If you didn’t already read about this in the Success Tips Newsletter, Roger Hamilton is back in Australia this April!

Brisbane: 27th April 2009
Melbourne: 28th April 2009
Perth: 30th April 2009
Sydney: 29th April 2009

Here’s a taste of why you’ll want to come see Roger Hamilton Live in February 2009:

• One of THE most lauded entrepreneurs and speakers in the world: people like John Demartini, Mark Victor Hansen, Nobel prize-winner Muhammad Yunus, former president Bill Clinton and thousands of top-ranked entrepreneurs around the world are all part of Roger’s trusted circle.
• Amazingly insightful: even if you’ve seen Roger before you’ll get so much more as he takes you not just literally behind the scenes on what happened in 2008 but way beyond so you’re fully aware and able to move forward positively and strongly.
• Specific wealth direction: Roger’s the developer of the breakthrough Wealth Profiling – a stunningly powerful process that gives you a specific path to wealth that’s unique to you – a path that really does get you on track, particularly in these ‘interesting’ times we’re experiencing right now.
• Inspiring without the ‘rah-rah’: Roger knows precisely how to keep you inspired and enthralled without the manipulation and ‘rah-rah’ we so often see. This is grounded ’stuff’.
• Social purpose: Roger’s company is the only entrepreneurial and personal development entity that’s part of the UN Global Compact.
• Enormous take-home value: an evening with Roger is simply one of those experiences you’ll look back on and say, “I’m so glad I did that!” It leads to increased wealth in all senses of that word.

To find out more details go to: Roger Hamilton Live In Australia - April 2009

Otherwise, you’ll want to act right away, today
Let me stress though that it’s really important to choose to come now or you may miss out on being able to see Roger live. Last time Roger was here in Australia in 2008, over 2500 people experienced him and each event was a complete sell-out.

So let me explain again how you can register immediately.

Here’s all you need do:

• Just follow this path (www.resultsnetaustralia.com/portal/content/view/49/):
• Select your preferred location
• Put in your privilege code: LAI and you’ll instantly get your 2 tickets at the discounted price of $39 and receive a confirmation email.

Notice I said ‘ticketS’. That’s because when you register now AND USE THIS SPECIAL CODE: LAI you’ll get not one but two tickets to the evening program PLUS you’ll be able to join Roger for a very special breakfast the following morning (and that’s all included for you as well).

And because you are reading this right now I have been given the opportunity to offer to you a very special discount. So rather than you paying what others are paying to see Roger, and that’s $95, you get to come for just $39 through me. And to top that, I am also able to offer you a second COMPLIMENTARY ticket to give to a friend or loved one to come as your guest, on me.

Do please get online to register right now (or if you need help with the registration process or if it’s just easier for you, just call TOLLFREE on 1800 895 707).

Easter is just around the corner and I’ve planned a road trip over the long weekend with some friends to explore Geraldton and Kalbarri. We decided to not go to the usual Easter destination, i.e. Margaret River, Dunsborough, Albany etc. and opted for something a little more adventurous… hopefully less traffic too… As some of you may know, we usually post our monthly Success Tips newsletter about the 2nd week into the month, but I’ve decided to delay it until after the Easter break so that you guys can have some R&R (I know I will be) before getting back into it!

So from the team at Your Success Club, we wish you a safe and relaxing Easter with your friends and family!
