This Time Next Year Rodders.....

Are you a Millionaire Yet ?

I hope you had a great Christmas and are having a relaxing week.

If you're like most Entrepreneurs, even when you're watching another re-run of 'Only Fools and Horses' half your mind is wandering off to the year ahead and your plans for success.

I do think that this is an important time of year for us to take a step back and start thinking about how we're going to make 2015 special - and profitable.

With that in mind, here are three key factors that the most successful Entrepreneurs I've worked with over the last 20 years build into their planning:

1. Clarity. It's not enough to hope for a successful new year. Your brain needs more clarity and precision than that. It needs to know precisely what you want, so that if you wander off course, your sub conscious mind draws your attention to it and comes up with a solution. By the  1st January you should be able to produce a piece of paper with three key pieces of information on it:

Your target turnover for 2015

Your target profits for 2015

How many new customers you are going to need in 2015 to achieve those goals.

Without these numbers, you are wandering into the new year with nothing but a vague idea of what you want. With the numbers, you have the power of clarity and precision.

2. An Internet Marketing Plan. You don't need me to tell you that the future of your business depends on your ability to master the internet. I work with thousands of business owners every year and without exception, those who succeed and particularly those who become millionaire entrepreneurs, are masters of the internet. Everyone else is struggling and frustrated with the internet. If you've got a website that is not performing, you are not alone and it's probably not your fault. You may not have had the support and advice you need. But sorting this out once and for all should be top of your list for the year ahead.

3. Time. How you handle time will have a major impact on your level of success in 2015. The 80/20 Principle tells us that 80% of your results tend to come from just 20% of your efforts. So, for example, in most businesses 80% of profits come from just 20% of customers. So you should treat the top 20% radically differently from the rest (whoever said that all customers were equal was nuts). But it also means that 80% of your results and profits probably only come from about 20% of your time. If that's the case, is it possible that 80% of your time is spent on activities that are either a waste of your time - or at least an ineffective use of your time? Creating a Time Revolution in your life is the biggest gift you can give yourself for the new year. And spending more of that time on Marketing and Internet Marketing will make you a lot of money.

As we enter 2015, I will be spending 10 weeks working with a group of success driven business owners to make 2015 their best year ever. If you would like to be one of them then please get in touch with me..

If you 'get' that the key to success is getting all the customers you need - and the key to that is great marketing and internet marketing, come and join me:

Then, as Dell boy would say, this time next year........

Always be Awesome.

Work Smart and Not Hard.

Do you have a Kindle or iPad?

 

If you do, then I have a Christmas treat for you! 

And if you don’t have one, don’t worry you can still get hold of this Christmas treat so read on! 

If you have been given a Kindle or iPad this Christmas then lucky you, and I am sure very soon you will be looking to download some great books onto your new toy! 

As you may know my book “Property Magic” is an Amazon No 1 property best seller, and the latest updated, 4th Edition is also now available on Kindle. 

So here is the Christmas treat: 

When you buy your Kindle version of Property Magic from Amazon.co.ukbetween now and 29th December I will send you three brand new videos, with content that I usually only share on my live 3-day Mastermind Accelerator workshop.

In these, 3 video’s I will share with you:

1)   How to find potential motivated sellers online
2)   How to build your portfolio using other people money
3)   How to monetise every motivated seller lead you find

This is almost 60 minutes of brand new content never shared before outside of my 3 day workshop.

Here are 4 easy steps for you to benefit from this offer.

1. Click here now to order your Kindle version of Property Magic.
2. Forward a copy of your Amazon receipt topa@propertyinvestorsnetwork.co.uk
3. Please make sure you email your proof of purchase to us before 9am on Monday 5th January.
4. Once the team are back in the office they will email you a link to these 3 videos as my thank you.

Now I know you may have read one of the first three editions of Property Magic, but I want to make sure you know about the 4th Edition, as it has lots of updated and new content including:

• 4 new case studies,
• Brand new chapter on Purchase Lease Options,
• 5 questions to help Estate Agents identify motivated sellers
• How to find and work with joint venture partners

I like to think each edition of Property Magic gets better and better, so if you have not read this 4th edition it is well worth buying. 

And finally, if you don’t have a kindle or iPad then I would not want you to miss out on this Christmas treat and so you can still receive the 3 brand new videos, by just ordering a physical copy of Property Magic from Amazon using this linkand then follow step 2 and 3 above. 

I do hope you enjoy the rest of your Christmas break. 

Kind regards, 

Simon Zutshi

PS. If you have already read Property Magic and loved it, I would really appreciate it if you could write a review on Amazon so that other people can discover how it could help them. Many thanks for your help.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from CARDIFF.....

I wanted to take this time to wish all my Facebook followers a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

One of my absolutely not guilty pleasures this time of the year are Christmas movies and we're just about to settle down for 4-6 hours of watching Jingle All The Way, Miracle on 34th Street and maybe one other...

I love this time off and use it to visualize and get clear on exactly what sort of year I want next year and I've found it to be a critical period in my year...

I urge you to do the same over this period if you don't already, it'll serve your 2015 like nothing else, I promise.

Okay, it's movie time and a few beers in Cardiff later...I'll catch up with you in a few days...

How do I issue a Statutory Demand?

What is a statutory demand?

It’s a formal demand for payment, which carries with it the threat of a winding-up petition if payment is not made within three weeks. And you don’t need a solicitor to issue it.

Often, the mere threat of a winding-up petition is enough to encourage a debtor to pay immediately. This is a useful tool in the current climate, where many debtors delay paying purely for cash flow reasons.

If the debtor ignores the statutory demand, the next step is to apply to the High Court for a winding-up petition. This is costly, and there is no guarantee that you will recover your money if a winding-up order is made.

When it is unsuitable to use one?

Avoid this route if you want to preserve a commercial relationship, if you know that the debt is disputed, or if the debtor has a valid counterclaim. The courts view the use of statutory demands for disputed debts as an abuse of process, and the debtor could obtain an injunction preventing you from issuing a winding-up petition. If this happens the court is likely to penalise you heavily in costs.

Statutory demands may only be issued for debts of more than £750. Because of the cost of issuing a winding up-petition, they may not be cost-effective for debts of less than £5,000.

A statutory demand is also unsuitable if the debt has not crystallised, so it is unclear what must be paid and by when, or if the debtor has insufficient funds to repay the debt.

How do I start?

First, you need to establish that there is no reason for non-payment. Write to the debtor demanding your money. Make it clear which invoice you are referring to (by attaching a copy) the amount due (including any interest), and the date by which payment was due. If you don’t mention interest,

Often, the mere threat of a winding-up petition is enough to encourage a debtor to pay immediately

you will not be entitled to claim it. Give the debtor a finite amount of time to pay – seven days is normal – following which you will issue a statutory demand. Send the letter by fax and post.

I have written to the debtor and received no response. What is the next step?

Fill in the form for a statutory demand for a debt that is immediately payable (form 6.1, available from www.insolvency.gov.uk/forms/ englandwalesforms.htm). This includes a section called “Particulars of debt”. Repeat the information you put in the letter of demand.

Once you have completed the paperwork, check the name of the recipient and the address. In the case of a registered company, you can check the address on the Companies House website. Send the documents to its registered office by registered post. Alternatively you can arrange for delivery by hand, preferably by process servers. The debtor now has 21 days to pay, or to offer you security for the debt. Or, if it disputes the debt, it can apply within 18 days to get the statutory demand set aside.

Twenty-one days have passed and still I have not had a response. What now?

The next step is to apply for a winding-up petition, if the debtor is a company, or a bankruptcy order for an individual. This can be costly – court fees alone cost more than £1,000. Unlike a statutory demand it is usually necessary to instruct solicitors.

The time and date of a hearing will be fixed. Two weeks before the hearing, an advert may be placed in the London Gazette, causing the debtor’s bank to freeze its assets and making it impossible to obtain credit. This may spur the debtor to either offer payment or raise grounds – possibly spurious – for disputing the debt and demanding you withdraw the petition.

If the debtor pays up, you should immediately ask the court to cancel the hearing. If it raises grounds for disputing the debt, you must decide whether to continue or withdraw the petition. If you discontinue you will need to make an agreement as to costs with the debtor’s solicitors. You will need to attend the hearing if it goes ahead, and if a winding-up order is made, you may not recover your money. Luckily, many debts are paid before this stage.
