Landmark Hospitality Business in Sydney, Australia (from receiver)

Landmark Hospitality Business in Sydney, Australia (from receiver)

Amount: AUD $7 million

A landmark hospitality business in Sydney has just gone into receivership and is ripe for the picking. Although many banks in this country are dumping their hospitality assets, the St George Bank (owned by Westpac) is expanding its portfolio aggressively. Obviously this business was not with St George :-)

Just prior to the receivers coming in, an information memorandum was produced by a local entrepreneur seeking to purchase the freehold and the business with the intention of commercialise the IP and expanding the operations over a 5 year period. Albeit parts of that IM are no longer entirely accurate (for obvious reasons), the opportunity still exists and indeed is an even better investment proposition that was previously being put forward.

Anyone interested in further information please contact me at investor@paullange.com.au and I will make the relevant introductions, respectively send you further information.

About Leela Cosgrove & Business Writers Anonymous

Business Writers Anonymous is Australia's #1 Intellectual Property Development Company, built on a solid foundation of sales and marketing expertise, multi award winning creative writing and a unique understanding of the needs of the speaking, coaching and business development industry, BWA takes your fixer-upper Intellectual Property and renovates it into a luxury home, penthouse or mansion that will make you $$$'s while you sleep.

Business Writers Anonymous was formed in 2009 by Leela Cosgrove. After 5 years spent creating Information Products for some of the biggest names in the Personal and Professional Development industry in Australia, Leela realised that there was a hole in the market - it was one thing for those who had already 'made it' to be creating Information Products, but those starting out were struggling to understand and afford this crucial element of their business. She formed BWA to ensure that people at all stages of their business had access to the same ideas and product development skills that the Big Names use.

BWA works with a stable of 20 writers, many of whom have won awards for their creative writing skills and have now turned their hand to providing businesses with something that is sorely lacking - interesting, innovative, information that moves people to take action.

Working exclusively with the speaking, coaching and business development industry, Business Writers Anonymous have a unique blend of business focused writing with a distinctively creative edge and a very strong sales and marketing background, allowing for explosive results for their clients.

Where most writers focus on ensuring your spelling, grammar and punctuation are correct, we focus on results, on the clients beating down your door, on the cash flowing into your bank account. Business Writers Anonymous will show you how to turn your information into dollars while leveraging your time so that you can STOP working for money and set money to work for you.

About Online Trading

The invention of the Internet has brought about many changes in the way that we conduct our lives and our personal business. We can pay our bills online, shop online, bank online, and even date online!

We can even buy and sell stocks online. Traders love having the ability to look at their accounts whenever they want to, and brokers like having the ability to take orders over the Internet, as opposed to the telephone.

Most brokers and brokerage houses now offer online trading to their clients. Another great thing about trading online is that fees and commissions are often lower. While online trading is great, there are some drawbacks.

If you are new to investing, having the ability to actually speak with a broker can be quite beneficial. In fact this is an underlying factor of why many people do not invest at all. Lack of knowledge and fear of losing everything. The irony is, although a broker is generally expected to be well instructed in the matters of investments, quite often they are only as educated as you in their assessment of the ability of the market or an individual stock, bond or commodity to move in a particular direction.

If you aren’t stock market savvy, online trading may be a dangerous thing for you. If this is the case, make sure that you learn as much as you can about trading stocks before you start trading online.

You should also be aware that you don’t have a computer with Internet access attached to you. You won’t always have the ability to go online to make a trade. You need to be sure that you can call and speak with a broker if this is the case, using the online broker. This is true whether you are an advanced trader or a beginner. Alternatively find other ways to generate a significant return on your money, without the smoke and mirrors, and inherent risks of online trading. Online trading can be a great way to increase your wealth. Just be sure you know what you are doing, as it can just as easily, perhaps more easily, decrease your wealth significantly.

If you do invest in the public markets, it is also a good idea to go with an online brokerage company that has been around for a while. You won’t find an online brokerage firm that has been in business online for fifty years of course, but you can find a number of good companies that have been in business that long and now offer online trading.

Again, online trading is a beautiful thing – but it isn’t for everyone. Think carefully before you decide to do your trading online, and make sure that you really know what you are doing!

Why Should I Make a Budget?

You say you know where your money goes and you don’t need it all written down to keep up with it? I issue you this challenge. Keep track of every penny you spend for one month and I do mean every penny.

You will be shocked at what the little, seemingly insignificant expenses add up to. Take the total you spent on just one unnecessary item for the month, multiply it by 12 for months in a year and multiply the result by 5 to represent 5 years.

That is how much you could have saved AND drawn interest on in just five years. That, my friend, is the very reason all of us need a budget.

If we can take control of the small expenses that really don’t matter to the overall scheme of our lives, we can enjoy financial success.

The little things really do count. Cutting what you spend on lunch from ten dollars a day to five or seven dollars a day on every work day in a five day work week saves between $15 and $25 a week… $60 to $100 a month… $720 to $1,200 a year… $3,600 to $6,000 in five years…plus interest.

See what I mean… it really IS the little things and you still eat lunch everyday AND that was only one place to save money in your daily living without doing without one thing you really need. There are a lot of places to cut expenses if you look for them.

Set some specific long term and short term goals. There are no wrong answers here. If it’s important to you, then it’s important period.

If you want to be able to make a down payment on a house, start a study fund to put your kids through tertiary education (college, university, TAFE), buy a sports car, take a vacation to Europe/Australia/Asia/North America… anything… then that is your goal and your reason to take control of your financial situation now.

We hope this was valuable.

The Budget – The Ultimate Financial Management Tool

A carpenter uses a set of house plans to build a house. If he didn’t the bathroom might be overlooked altogether.

Rocket Scientists would never begin construction of a new booster rocket without a detailed set of design specifications. Yet most of us go blindly out into the world without so much as an inkling of an idea about finances, and without any plan at all.

When you think of it, it’s not a very smart approach, is it?

A money plan is called a budget and it is crucial to helping us achieve our desired financial goals.

Without a plan we will drift without direction and end up marooned on a distant financial reef, or peril will befall us and our plane will crash leaving us stranded on a deserted island, miles off course like Tom Hanks in Castaway.

If you have a spouse or a significant other, you should make this budget together. Sit down and figure out what your joint financial goals are…long term and short term.

Then plan your route to achieve those goals. Every journey begins with one step and the first step to attaining your goals is to make a realistic budget that both of you can live with.

A budget should never be a financial starvation diet. That won’t work for the long haul. Make reasonable allocations for food, clothing, shelter, utilities and insurance and set aside a reasonable amount for entertainment and the occasional luxury item. Savings should always come first before any spending.

Even a small amount saved will help you reach your long term and short term financial goals. You can find many budget forms on the internet. Just use any search engine you choose and type in “free budget forms”.

You’ll find lots of hits on Google and Yahoo. Print one out and work on it with your spouse or significant other. Both of you will need to be happy with the final result and feel like it’s something you can stick to.

Spend Wisely to Save Money

Have you ever noticed that the groceries and household items you buy every week at the grocery store, supermarkets, and hardware stores go up by a few cents between each shopping trip? It is never by really all that much…just by a little each week … but they continue to creep up and up.

All it takes for the price to jump up substantially is a small hiccup in the world wide market and global economy; note the regular fluctuation of the price of petrol as it relates to world affairs. Thankfully it comes down sometimes but rarely as often as it goes up. It usually takes the imminent threat of a recession for the price to drop significantly.

There is a way that we can keep these price increases from impacting our personal finances all too much, and that is by buying in quantity, paying cash, and finding the best possible prices for the things we use and will continue to use everyday… things that will keep just as well on the shelves in our homes as it does on the shelves at the grocery store or hardware store.

For instance, dog food and cat food costs about 10% less when bought by the case than it does when bought at the single can price, and if you wait for close out prices you save a lot more than that.

Set aside some space in your home and make a list of things that you use regularly that will not spoil or go off. Any grain or grain products will need to be stored in airtight containers that rats and other creepy crawlies can’t breach so keep that in mind.

Then set out to find the best prices you can obtain on quantity purchases of such things as bathroom items and dry and canned food.

You will be surprised at how much you can save by buying a twenty pound bag of rice as opposed to a one pound bag. But as said don’t forget that it must be kept in an air tight container to protect against insects and vermin that might otherwise be attracted into your house by the odours and other signals that we don’t detect but their supersensitive noses and other senses do.

You can buy some clothing items such as men’s socks and underwear because those styles don’t change, avoid buying children’s and women’s clothing, those styles change and sizes change too drastically.

Try to acquire and keep a two year supply of these items and you can save hundreds of dollars.

Find a wholesale butcher and green grocer in your neighbourhood and buy all of the weeks meet and fresh vegetables in bulk. And be on the look out for when the products you normally buy are on special. Then buy enough to last you until the next time they will be on special. If you monitor your supermarkets promotional magazine, you’ll notice that these things have a cycle.

Also, paying in cash is important. There is not point maxing out your credit card to buy bulk. Any savings will be negated by the interest the credit card company charges you to extend you the credit.

We hope this is valuable.

Rebates – Reward or Rip Off?

Rebates have become increasingly popular in the last few years on a lot of household purchases and other consumer items, especially on electronic items and computers. Rebates of $20, $50 or $100 or more are in fact quite common.

I’ve even seen items advertised as “free after rebate” and other items advertised with such a ridiculously low price “after rebate” that it might as well be free. Do these rebates come under the heading of “too good to be true”? Some of them do and there are “catches” to watch out for. But if you are careful, rebates can help you benefit from some really good deals.

The way a rebate works is that you pay the listed price for an item then mail in a form and the bar code to the manufacturer. They then send you a refund thus reducing the price of what you paid for the item except with a time delay of several weeks.

Rule #1. Rebates from reputable companies are usually okay.

You can be pretty sure you will get the promised rebate from the high street A-list department or electronics store, or from online retailers like Amazon or Dell, but you should probably not count on getting one from a company you’ve never heard of. If you really want the product and are OK with paying the price listed then buy it but don’t count on actually receiving the refund. Or be prepared for a lengthy complaints process with your local consumer protection/consumer affairs agency and realise that the outcome will still remain the same, i.e. you’ll see zip of the rebate money!

Rule #2. Check rebate expiration dates.

Many times products will stay on the shelf of a retailer after the date for sending in the rebate offer has expired so check that date carefully.

Rule #3. Be sure you have all the forms required to file for the rebate before you leave the store.

Rebates will almost always require a form to be filled out, a receipt for the purchase and a bar code.

Rule #4. Back up your rebate claim.

Make copies of everything you send in to get your rebate including the bar code. Stuff is always going astray in the mail and if the rebate is for $50 it’s worth the trouble to back up your claim.

Avoiding Impulse Spending

Answer these questions truthfully:

1. Does your spouse or partner complain that you spend too much money?

2. Each month when your credit card bill arrives are you surprised at how much more you charged than you thought you had?

3. Do you have more shoes and clothes in your closet than you could ever possibly wear?

4. Do you own every new gadget before it has time to collect dust on a retailer’s shelf?

5. Do you buy things you didn’t know you wanted until you saw them on display in a store?

If you answered “yes” to any two of the above questions, you are an impulse spender and indulge yourself in retail therapy.

This is not a good thing. It will prevent you from saving for the important things like a house, a new car, a vacation or retirement. You must set some financial goals and resist spending money on items that really don’t matter in the long run.

Impulse spending will not only put a strain on your finances but your relationships, as well. To overcome the problem, the first thing to do is learn to separate your needs from your wants.

Advertisers blitz us hawking their products at us 24/7. The trick is to give yourself a cooling-off period before you buy anything that you have not planned for.

When you go shopping, make a list and take only enough cash to pay for what you have planned to buy. Leave your credit cards at home. Better still cut them up and order a debit card from the bank. A debit card works like a credit card but only let’s you spend what is on your bank account at the time.

If you see something you think you really need, give yourself two weeks to decide if it is really something you need or something you can easily do without. By following this simple solution, you will mend your financial fences and your relationships.
