The zeroth law: you must want to do it.
The Seven Laws of the Successful Property Investor.
The zeroth law: you must want to do it.
The zeroth law: you must want to do it.
Do you really want to do it?
Before you answer that, give it some thought. Know what's involved first or you may change your mind or simply lose interest and fall away.
These are the qualities you will need for successful property investment:
- You need to be willing to learn.
- You need to be prepared to question conventional wisdom.
- You need to be prepared to change.
- You need to understand that learning also means work.
- You need to understand that taking action - when you are ready - is part of learning .
- You need to be patient enough to do the homework and to wait for the right deal.
- You need to be able to start with a vision and then move on to acquire the training through the right tools.
Don't make the mistake of not taking change seriously. We have an inner drive towards change but we also have an inner resistance. A laziness, a lethargy, an inertia. If it has been some years since you last pushed yourself, experimented, signed on for a course, explored an unfamiliar area, studied, etc ... then your mental muscles may be out of shape.
Test your resolve
Pick ONE of these mental exercises and do it to completion. Or better still, make a commitment to doing something each day to keep your brain and change mentality in shape. If you can do it, then you can answer "Yes!" to this first and most important question - "Do you really want to do it?"
Test whether you want to do it- by testing whether you are prepared to do what's required to change. These brain exercises are a 'dummy run' - and they're good for you - the more you use your brain, the more you benefit!
Please note! This is a long list, full of ideas!
Don't try and do more than one thing! After a while when that stops being a challenge you can move on to something else, but the point of this exercise is not to give you a long list of things to do - it's to incorporate a single simple mental exercise into your day to day life.
It can take 30 seconds or 10 minutes or just keep you occupied in the traffic. If sudoku drives you mad and takes an hour, choose something else! Add up the numbers on car number plates instead - it's just as good for you AND it turns a negative experience (traffic jams) into a positive one (brain fitness)!
Choose one activity from the list below. Choose the one that fits best with your daily schedule.
Choose active interactions in your daily life, not passive ones.Substitute TV for reading; aimless Internet surfing for educational material. Evaluate what you read. Fiction works as well as non-fiction - but stay away from the obvious best sellers if you want real value from this exercise.
- Play a game. Physical or mental. Checkers, scrabble, chess, crossword puzzles, sudoku, but not to obsession. Cricket or rugby on the lawn. Tennis. Golf. If you already play these games, approach them differently.
- Work on your weak areas. Realize how quickly we humans tend to find out what we're best at and then do that only, neglecting the rest. Realize how fast we choose to form a habit that turns a challenge into a rut and so reduces the benefit.
- Reverse the usual approach. Start your day with the right attitude - read a short paragraph or just a line or two of any book - upside down. Set a precedent for the day - you will not be doing it the same old way!
- Tackle something you find hard. Anything. Big or small. Physical or mental. Threading a needle. Working out a sum in your head. Memorizing phone numbers rather than relying on your cell phone. Memorizing shopping lists. Find ways to help you - pictures, pat terns, reminders, landmarks.
- Do mental arithmetic. At the till, work out what change you will get before the cashier does. Keep a running total of the items in your basket. Multiply, divide, add and subtract figures as you go along. Set yourself maths problems - little ones - and do them on the way to work.
- When you drive, think of the names of the streets you pass - before you get there. Do without a map. If you've been there once - rely on your memory next time. Or get lost - find yourself in a different part of the world that daily life does not take you past, and explore it.
- Break a habit. Try a new shop, restaurant, hobby, sport, activity. If you've never understood what people see in golf - take a lesson or two. If you've always wanted to sing - find a teacher and take a few lessons. Watch life open up. Discover a whole new world that has always run parallel with your own - but you never knew it.
- Listen to educational tapes and books on tape if you spend long hours in the car, rather than the radio. Or think through a problem and give yourself a deadline to solve it (the water tower, the freeway off ramp, the top of the next hill).
- Make it a habit to be mentally active. Ask questions about what you see around you and then make it your business to find answers.
- Try and remember what you did two days ago. Five days ago. This day last year
Get out of your rut! If anything's become routine, find a new approach to re-energize it. Or leave that comfort zone altogether and try something quite different. - Spend time with people who also do some of these things. Avoid people who don't ask questions and aren't curious about the world around them.
- Take a course to improve yourself.
If you have taken just ONE of these suggestions and made it a part of your life - and it has stuck - then you have proven your resolve.
If, after that, you can say you are prepared to develop the qualities we spoke of in the beginning, then you can honestly, thoroughly, and having done your homework ... say:
"Yes! I really want to do it!"
If you have done all of this, well done! You are the kind of person I hope will accompany me further, not only to successful property investment, but also on this exciting journey of self discovery and wealth creation!

The impossible is always possible
The challenge
On 2 September 2004, I pledged to make over R10 million before the end of 2009, with an investment of less than R1000, by using the Formula for Riches and the other components of my Amazing Formula for Wealth Creation (Mercedes Principle, Accelerator Principle, the Laws of Wealth Creation).
The TOTAL investment was only R0.79
The auditors have just informed me that after two years and three months the investment is worth R10,067,179!
It is quite clear that I have proven that the so called impossible CAN be done!
I’m very, very excited about this because another of the chains that have been used to keep people “in their place” has been broken!
What does this mean? Let me explain, with the help of a couple of illustrations:
The four minute mile
Until 1954, they said it was impossible for a man to break the four-minute mile barrier. Doctors, sports experts, scientists etc. said the human body simply could not run this fast.
According to our anatomy, we were not meant to break this barrier. For more than nine years prior to 1954, athletes had been trying, and failing.
Then, on 4 June 1954, Roger Bannister broke the barrier.
And suddenly, mankind could run that fast. In less than four minutes, by refusing to accept that limit in his own mind, Roger removed the limit in all our minds. And other people soon followed him.
Today it is an accepted fact that man can run that fast. Just as unquestioned as the old belief that it was impossible. So – how reliable are these facts about life that “everyone knows”?
The Wright brothers
Before the Wright Brothers got their plane off the ground for that first powered flight, people said it was impossible to fly.
They said “If man was meant to fly, God would have given us wings”. And who could argue? Clearly, we were not designed to fly the way birds do.
Then the Wright brothers found a way for mankind to fly, and proved all this “conventional wisdom”, and all this “common sense” quite wrong. Proving that one should ask questions about obvious truths and not just accept what “everyone says”.
And this I see as part of my mission in life: to unlock people’s minds so that they see what they can do!
So why I am so excited about achieving this challenge in less than half the time I gave myself, is because now my students can see that they can achieve their challenges too! Everyone is a little more free now.
All they need to do is accept my invitation to open up their minds and leave those chains behind.
And the most important way in which you can take up my invitation is to throw yourself wholeheartedly into the opportunities the BRS offer you.
It is interesting that just as I achieve my challenge, yours opens up!
The question now is "Will you take up this opportunity or are you just going to sit and watch it go by?"

The Formula For Riches is an amazing tool by Henrico Hanekom
I write this story as an ordinary person.
Nonetheless, after only a few months on the Dr Hannes Dreyer Wealth Creators Mentoring Course course I'm already achieving the extra-ordinary.
I'll be honest, at first I thought that the Formula for Riches was a gimmick and I did not really believe that it was necessary for me to know it in order to achieve success. But when I took a closer look at the formula I realized the truth in it and hence it is a major part of my life.
Growth is one of the things that I've come to learn is very important, through the Formula for Riches. Most of the changes that I am currently experiencing are internal - my perceptions, ideas, beliefs and attitudes.
I know that these internal changes will soon externalize and manifest in the physical world.
You can ask me anytime of the day to write out the formula and I'll do that. I know it off by heart.
But also captured in this formula is an important factor called “Re” (Responsibility). I had to take responsibility for my financial future because just knowing the formula is not enough. I realized that I have to actually take the responsibility, take action and apply the formula to the financial decisions I make.
One of the most powerful moments in my life was when I clicked that my current financial situation is my very own doing, so it is only ME who can change the outcome. My initial thoughts were denial, I ignored the facts and somehow believed that my current financial situation ... just is the way it is.
After Hannes taught me about taking responsibility through utilizing the formula, many things have changed in my life. And I use the word “life” because for me finance is an important part of my life because I see it as a means to an end, one of my goals being abundance in all areas of my life. Hence, the “Re” part of the formula.
As a businessman, I had a fatal perception of risk. I though the more risk I take, the richer I will get. Needless to say, this has only made other people and institutions rich.
The Formula for Riches is helping me see exactly what risk is doing to my investments and I've learnt the importance of being able to calculate risk before making a decision.
I also found an amazing tool in the Formula for Riches that is helping me in all aspects of my life. The tool is the "nm" symbol in the formula and it stands for time and effort or productivity.
Just think about this, guys like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Richard Branson only have 24 hours in their day, just like you and me. They must be very effective and productive to achieve what they do. I need to make the best of the time that I have because according to the formula, it will exponentially affect the outcome and growth on my surplus. This is something that I think about daily and I keep on working at being more effective, using my time and energy wisely.
The value I've got from Hannes’s courses is not measurable in monetary terms. I read the free e-book before I decided to acquire some of the courses. I was amazed at what I learnt even through a free document from Hannes Dreyer. I then knew that my surplus would be well spent on further material.
The thing that I appreciate the most about the way that the material is presented is the fact that it is real-life stuff. I know that Hannes won't teach anything that he has not applied in his own life. This helps me to trust the information I'm learning and make it my own.
I can recommend the course to anybody who is brave enough to take responsibility for their own financial future!

Applying the Formula For Riches and get 217% growth by Waldi van de Merwe
My success with the formula for riches came thru our company.
As per the audited statements the growth from last year to this year was 217%
This was done by taking full responsibility for al the money matters in the company. Anything to do with money (customers, debt, investments, payments, levies, rent, profits, losses, tax, estate duties, buy sell agreements, wills) goes past my desk and under my eyes.
Although we are still at risk from things outside of my control in the business I have made sure that there is a rock solid base to operate from.
I have been maintaining or just not having any debt for the company.
I have been spending my time at night with my family and after there bed time I have been carrying on with study of my business (working on the business not, in it) and personal growth.
This has paid dividends as you can see. For the last month I have been waking up at 4:30 in the morning to continue with self study and spiritual study. And cannot wait to see the results from this practice in the future.
Kind Regards

Start a business with infinite return by Johan Stroh
There is an old saying that goes ‘At the end of your life you will regret more the things that you DID NOT DO rather than the things you DID DO’. So wise and I can only say thank you God that I come across this experience in my life and I am living it. I am DOING IT.
For the past 11 years I have been in the retail business. For 6 years I had bakery franchises and for the last 5 years until Feb 2007 I was involved with ceramic products. I really thought I was doing well. End of February my path with the franchisor ended and I started looking for something new. Apart from Pick ‘n Pay, Build-it and other retail groups who contacted me to open up a new franchise, I considered several other options including bringing a completely unique concept to SA from the USA.
In March however, because of my search for new opportunities, I saw the ad for the free seminar by Hannes Dreyer in the Rapport which I attended. I cannot express how my idea of a successful business and the risks associated with it, have changed from then till now.
Several of the BIG opportunities that came up would have been my new line of business a year or so ago. Now, because I am doing the mentoring program, Kaizen Challenge and attended several of Hannes’s other presentations, the selection criteria have changed. I have invested so much time in myself. I live a balanced life.
Certainly the biggest change in my view has been to minimize the risk. The world tells you that if you invest in a well known branded business, you cannot go wrong. I know of several branded businesses that went belly up soon after opening although the owner invested lots of money and time in the business.
Currently I am involved in a business that does simulation training. We have a proven ability to take complex business models and simplify them sufficiently to create a challenging and enjoyable learning experience without turning it into a game. It is absolutely amazing how a person at any level of a company can suddenly ‘see’ how the business works. That WOW or AHAA expressions are often heard.
My reasons why I joined forces with this business are the following:
I did not have to risk anything apart from my time (to get trained)
It is possible
I can make it happen
I certainly have control over it.
I have earned R15000 so far for 6 days’ work. This represents 3 x 2 day courses that I presented to one of the biggest retail distribution centers in South Africa.
Considering that they even paid for my flights, hotels and car rentals, the actual amount earned could be much higher. So my profit was R15000 which is an infinite return.
Accelerator Principle - I am involved in a project for the schools. From the overwhelming reaction from the various schools that we have seen, this should mean a passive income INCREASE of R10000 per month for the next year as from January 2008.
Through Hannes Dreyer, the Formula for Riches, Mentoring program and Kaizen Challenge I am developing my gifts and applying them to the Amazing Formula for Wealth Creation. The only thing that scares me now is the possibilities that are pitching up all over.
Cheers
