Is Your Property Portfolio Helping You Build Wealth or Quietly Holding You Back?
Dear property investor,
**Note: please [register](https://events.resultsmentoring.com/escape.html?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=drn) to attend the workshop via Zoom.**
This is a free webinar for property investors who want to assess whether their current portfolio is truly helping them build wealth, income and freedom — or quietly holding them back.
**You may already have a property portfolio ...**
But here's the bigger question:
*Is it actually set up to deliver the result you want?*
With interest rates elevated, borrowing power tighter, cash flow under pressure and uncertainty around the economy and policy settings, many investors are starting to realise that owning property is not the same as building the right portfolio.
In this practical webinar, our sponsors, property mentors Simon Buckingham and Brendan Kelly from Results Mentoring will show you how to pressure-test your current portfolio so you can assess whether it is still fit for purpose in today’s environment.
**You'll learn:**
✅ how to tell whether a property is helping or hurting your long-term goals
✅ warning signs your portfolio may be underperforming, even if it looks fine on paper
✅ how to think more clearly about hold vs sell decisions
✅ why many investors get stuck with a portfolio that limits their progress
✅ what to focus on next if you want stronger growth, better cash flow and more flexibility
This is not about hype, fear or guesswork.
It is about giving you a more objective framework for assessing your current portfolio and your next move.

Find Your (Business) Tribe
**Find Your (Business) Tribe**
*Because no great business is built alone.*
They say, *“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”* And in business, this couldn’t be more true.
Whether you’re just starting out, growing something exciting, or dreaming up your next big move, this event is about finding the right people to walk alongside you. Think of it as a curated networking night for entrepreneurs, creatives, and business-minded doers who are looking for more than surface-level connections.
Maybe you need a co-founder.
A photographer.
A mentor.
A tech-savvy mate.
An accountability partner.
Or simply a community of like-minded humans who *get it*.
Whatever you’re building, this night is about helping you find your *people*. Your collaborators, supporters, and sounding boards, the ones who help you stay grounded *and* move forward.
Expect meaningful conversations, interactive connection activities, and a space where you don’t have to “pitch” yourself, just show up authentically. Because business gets a whole lot better when you’re surrounded by the right energy.
So, bring your ideas, your questions, and your dreams.
You never know who you’ll meet.
**Your ticket will cover a basic beer, wine, spirit or soft drink on arrival.** Remainder of your ticket will be split to cover costs of running FYT and also charity donation to Sisterworks.
Tickets are required to attend this event.
Please note:
This is not an event for selling, for business cards, or recruitment for direct sales or MLM models. This is an event for genuine connections, friendships, collabs, business partners, business networking, when equally reciprocated on both sides!
