**Hi Everyone! 🏮** CNY Day 1 is the perfect time for a quiet day of rest and enjoying the "festive silence" of Singapore. Use it to recharge and treat yourself to some peace. But by **Day 2**, let’s get together! Let’s leave the house, breathe in the fresh air, and make sure we are **Solo No More**. As someone who runs these paths regularly, I want to show you why Fort Canning is the heart of our city. It’s a beautiful escape right in the center—actually, the story of Singapore city starts right here. From the hilltop, you can see a perfect overview of our city skyline. **What we will do:** * **The "City to Hill" Walk:** We’ll meet in the city and walk toward the greenery, crossing from the modern streets into the ancient "Forbidden Hill." * **History & Stories:** I’ll share some fascinating history along the way—from the ancient kings who lived here to the old fort gates. * **Nature & Photo Stops:** We will "smell the nature" and stop at my favorite spots for photos when the sunset light is at its best. * **The Stroll:** This is a relaxed walk to enjoy the breeze and the company. No rushing! * **What to bring:** Bring a bottle of water and your best camera-phone! 💧📸 * **After-Walk:** We will end near Clarke Quay for a riverside drink or a casual bite for anyone who wants to keep the conversation going. * **Why walk with us?"** Many of us spend our days leading businesses or managing careers alone. But a journey is always better when you share the footprints. This is a chance to step away from the screen, 'smell the nature,' and connect with fellow professionals and entrepreneurs without the pressure of a boardroom. It costs nothing but your time, and the fresh air is on the house!

We’ll walk through a business model that allows you to build an **additional stream of income alongside your current responsibilities**, without needing prior business experience or drastic lifestyle changes. **During the session, we’ll cover:** • How the business model works (in simple, practical terms) • Time commitment and flexibility, especially for working adults and parents • Risk level, startup considerations, and long-term sustainability • The support, mentorship, and systems available This session is suitable for: • Those exploring a side income or a future pivot • Individuals who feel capped or stuck and are considering alternatives • Anyone curious about building something scalable without quitting their current job • People who value transparency before making decisions This sharing is not about pressure or persuasion. It’s about giving you the **full picture**, so you can decide for yourself whether this aligns with your goals and current stage of life. **Come with an open mind.** **Leave with clarity.**

#### Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster #### **Featuring Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** **👉 Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** #### A lot of people get into real estate because they want freedom. Then they buy a rental…and realize most of the rent goes straight to the bank. They technically own property, but the mortgage controls the income. And waiting 30 years for properties to be paid off doesn’t feel realistic. This meetup is about understanding a different way to think about rental properties… one that focuses on paying them off sooner so the income is actually usable. **Featured Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** We’re excited to welcome John Blackburn as our guest speaker for this event. John has been actively investing in real estate since 2006 and has: * Been involved in **5,000+ real estate transactions** * Helped investors **acquire over $150 million in rental property** * **Raised more than $100 million** in private capital John didn’t start with family money or shortcuts. He built his portfolio by focusing on clear systems, real numbers, and long-term strategy. For this meetup, John will walk through how investors shift their focus from simply owning rentals to building properties that eventually pay them…without a mortgage attached. **What You’ll Learn** John will break down, in simple terms: * Why most rental properties don’t produce much usable income early on * Why buying more rentals isn’t always the answer * How investors structure their properties to pay off mortgages in a fraction of the time * How properties can work together to eliminate debt faster * What changes once rentals become free and clear This approach is often referred to as an accelerated paydown strategy — using rental income intentionally to reduce debt sooner, rather than waiting decades for mortgages to run their course. John will also share a simple calculator you can use to see how this works with real numbers and realistic scenarios. **The Core Idea** When a rental has a mortgage, the rent has one job: **pay the bank.** When a rental is paid off, the rent has a different job: **pay you.** Most people only see one timeline…30 years. This session shows how investors shorten that timeline and gradually increase their income as properties become free and clear. **Who This Event Is For** This event is for people who want more than just “owning rentals” on paper. * Rental owners who are tired of most of the rent going to the bank and want a clearer path to real, usable income * New investors who want to understand how rental properties actually build wealth over time before jumping in * People with capital who want to invest in real estate with intention and a long-term plan * Anyone serious about freedom and curious how rental properties transition from debt-heavy assets into income-producing ones **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company - 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** January 25th, 6–8 PM (Doors open at 5:30) **Cost:** Free (Seats are limited - RSVP required) **👉 Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** If you’ve ever wondered how rental properties actually turn into freedom —this is the room to be in.

This is not just a money class. This is a restoration space. The I AM Worthy of Ownership™ Path is a 12-step, sister-centered journey for women who are ready to build financial stability without shame, fear, or pressure—and to do it in a way that honors both wisdom and the spirit. Many women don’t struggle with money because they lack discipline or intelligence. They struggle because of unhealed experiences, survival patterns, and the quiet belief that they are “behind” or “disqualified.” This series gently challenges those beliefs while offering practical tools for peace, clarity, and long-term planning. Together, we will talk honestly about: Releasing shame and money anxiety Building stability as a form of self-respect and spiritual discipline Understanding money as a tool, not a source of worth Managing debt with clarity instead of condemnation Preparing for life’s unexpected moments without fear Laying a calm foundation for future ownership and legacy Each session blends practical financial education with reflection, conversation, and encouragement. There is no pressure to share personal numbers or experiences. You are welcome to speak, journal quietly, or simply listen. This is not about hustle. This is not about perfection. This is about alignment, wisdom, and peace. Who this series is for: Women who are starting over or rebuilding Women who want stability without stress Women preparing for future ownership or housing decisions Women who want their financial lives to reflect wholeness, not fear No prior financial knowledge is required. Come as you are. Bring a notebook. Leave a little lighter than you arrived. Light refreshments will be served along with 30 minutes of networking.
