Wednesday, 10 August: "Commercial Property - Options for Business Owners"

Affectionately called, “Night at the Local”, Westpac at Aspley is opening the doors after hours and extending a warm welcome for you to join us.



“Commercial Property - Options for Business Owners”
"Commercial Property - Options for Business Owners" deals with the dilemma faced by business owners where we:
  • don't have enough room for our staff members
  • need to move our operations
  • need to manage redundant space
  • have limitations on growing the business due to space
... all the issues that present a commercial property problem.

The options seem quite clear cut from the outset (buy or lease), but the solutions can involve a great deal of creativity. This workshop explores what's possible and how to make it happen sooner, rather than later!


Guest speaker is Martyn Fleming from Morpheus Property. Martyn represents buyers of residential and commercial property. Morpheus Property’s services include property searching and analysis and is constantly dealing with business owners struggling to work out how to approach commercial property.

During this engaging workshop, Martyn will offer both a decision making framework and proven process for taking the next step!!

Terri Cooper Networking event - Stephen Dale Speaking


As business owners, we dedicate our lives to achieving our goals and ‘living the dream’. We read books, study texts, take courses and commit our time, effort and finance to create a thriving business. But how many of us actually achieve the success and happiness we crave?

Stephen Dale was 21 when his life went over a cliff. Literally. He fell 30 metres on to the rocky beach below and sustained shocking injuries – a dislocated and multi-fractured spine, a shattered skull, ruptured internal organs with multiple lacerations and critical blood loss.

His injuries took away his ability to read, write and speak, he was unemployable, unable to move freely and lived in the grip of constant pain. Simple acts that once were taken for granted, like dressing himself and organising breakfast were excruciatingly difficult. His life became plagued with depression, fear, panic and rage.

Despite these and many more debilitating obstacles, Steve refused to surrender. He committed himself to regaining everything that had been taken from him and living a life of purpose and fulfilment.

In his 10-year struggle to rebuild his shattered life, he learned the singular, most important action necessary to overcome any obstacle, regardless of how relentless and powerful it appeared to be.

Steve will share this powerful and practical secret that will bring clarity and direction to your quest for success. He will also present a practical path to follow, so that you can take the first step towards that elusive ‘next level’.
Steve will show you how to:

- Bring clarity and direction to your life and business
- Change your life and change your business
- Reach that higher level
- Motivate yourself when you run out of options
- Motivate others when they lose sight of their goal


The Morpheus Team will be there and we recommend that you be there too!
Yours in property.

Fund Raising for a Cure for Cancer - Tour for Cure

RIDING TO CURE CANCER

Whilst at the last Terri Cooper networking Breakfast I met Paul Egan. He is about to do a huge bicycle ride to try to find a cure for cancer.

Many of us have had cancer touch our lives in one way or another. Some of you may have even had cancer, while others have lost family or friends to cancer.

Paul is out there trying to make a difference by riding 1400km's from Sydney to the Sunshine coast to help raise money for cancer research. I would ask that you consider helping too!

Have a look at the website http://www.mytourdecure.com.au/. I think you will be impressed by his guts and determination.

Paul is not only looking for donations. He would really appreciate your messages of support or personal stories about the way cancer has impacted your life. I will be following his ride at the Tour for Cure website http://www.mytourdecure.com.au/

Of course, the training and riding are just part of the challenge; The other is to raise sufficient funds to make a difference. You can donate by visiting the http://www.mytourdecure.com.au/. Any amount is welcome, and every donation is tax deductible.

13th Sept is "Sustainable House Day"

This is a good chance to get some ideas for your own project!!

Sunday, 13th September
10:00am -4:00pm
Locations (become available 1 Sept, 2009)

Pop in and see good examples of energy efficient homes. Visit the http://www.sustainablehouseday.com website and stay tuned for address details, which will be available 1 September.

Environment Minister Peter Garrett today launched two new initiatives designed to boost householder efforts to save energy, water and reduce waste — the Government's new web portal LivingGreener.gov.au and Sustainable House Day 2009.

LivingGreener.gov.au includes practical information and tools on how householders can live more sustainably, save money and help the environment.

“Almost 10 per cent of Australia's greenhouse gas emissions come from households. But every Australian can make a big difference to the environment and their wallets through simple, cost-effective, everyday actions.

“Australians want to know what they can do to reduce their impact on the environment, and as the massive uptake of the new solar hot water and insulation rebates shows, households are keener than ever before to make their homes more energy and water efficient.

“LivingGreener.gov.au is an innovative and informative webpage that contains practical tips as well as information about Government programs and financial assistance to support households to improve their energy efficiency,” Minister Garrett said.

Minister Garrett said Sustainable House Day on Sunday September 13 was another great way for households to see first-hand the practical and often easy steps people can take to reduce their energy and water bills.

“Around 170 homes around the country will open their front door to the public. It's an opportunity to get first-hand advice and information from ordinary homeowners about the benefits of sustainable living.

“Architects, builders and home sustainability assessors will also be on hand at many of the homes to provide expert advice. Admission to each home is free, thanks to the Rudd Government's $100,000 sponsorship of this great event,” said Minister Garrett.

The Sustainable House Day website www.sustainablehouseday.com has a list of all open houses and the energy and water saving improvements each house has made.

Information on how you can make your own home more energy efficient is available at www.LivingGreener.gov.au
