Nancy Morris is a Business & Performance Psychology Consultant, Speaker and Author. She has 19 years of academics under her belt and is about to pursue a Ph.D. Some of her clients refer to her as an  “un-guru” – a no-nonsense specialist in translating the academic theories of business psychology and people development into actionable insight for the real world.

For almost 20 years, Nancy’s science-backed systems have helped thousands of solopreneurs and self-employed professionals (e.g./ lawyers, commercial and residential real estate agents) master the mind game of productivity, creating more consistent revenue and feeling more confident, focused and valuable at work.

Nancy’s real difference is that she doesn’t float on a cloud with idealistic platitudes or arrive on a stage with fireworks and empty hype. She delivers proven, science-backed advice and ongoing strategy in a system that simply works. She is the same person out at the pub and behind the podium. She is not about pantsuits, long-winded speeches or pie-in-the-sky ideals. Instead, she cracks jokes, gets vulnerable, doesn’t pull any punches, and says what you need to hear and how you need to hear it while laughing along as your outcomes are improved.

Nancy has written the book on procrastination called Procrastinate Now: Rethinking Time Management and listeners can download it for free from her website.

In this episode learn about: 

– What is Positive Psychology
– Procrastination and the 4 Main Signals
– The 3 Cornerstones of Success
– The Psychology behind Analysis Paralysis
– Understanding “So What” Situations

His approach to personal branding strategy ensures that his clients are noticed and remembered, for the right reasons.

After two attempts at passing his basic Math qualification and his biology teacher labelling him an idiot, it was ironic that these subjects were the basis of a successful corporate career that started in banking and ended in biotech. After reading Tom Peters “Brand You 50” in the late ’90s and realizing that he had taken many of the actions and suggestions that Peters wrote about, Paul knew that he had to help others do the same.

Jenn and Michael Richter of Double E Properties, personify the word teamwork by growing an 11 property portfolio as a married couple while raising two young girls. They started their real estate investment journey 5 years ago when they were not happy with the 7% RESP the bank was offering.

Guest: Jenn and Michael Richter, Real Estate Investors & Speakers

Jenn and Michael Richter of Double E Properties, personify the word teamwork by growing an 11 property portfolio as a married couple while raising two young girls. They started their real estate investment journey 5 years ago when they were not happy with the 7% RESP the bank was offering.

They realized that their one rental property had a better return and joked around with the idea of buying a property for their 3-month-old baby and they did. Then, they had a second daughter eighteen months later and had to buy her one to not play favourites. This proceeded into a joke between the two of them of buying “just one more” which quickly turned into 10 properties.

At the time, Jenn and Michael were buying only pre-construction and new build homes in Milton and Guelph. However, after recognizing the change in the market, they focused their attention on an additional strategy, creating legal secondary suites on the Hamilton mountain.

Jenn and Michael focus on the BRRRR philosophy as it creates passive income for their investors through forced appreciation. Michael and Jenn love sharing their passion about real estate by speaking at real estate networking events, hosting their own YouTube video channel, Double E Properties, being guests on podcasts, and have been featured in Canadian Real Estate Wealth magazine more than once.

In this episode learn about:

– New build strategy process
– Financing and planning
– Obstacles
– Managing budgets and other numbers
– Tips for working with your spouse

Karen was introduced to the real estate industry when she was a teenager in London, Ontario back in the 1980s when her stepfather invested in a number of properties by taking old buildings and converting them into student rentals. Karen worked in all aspects of the property management side of the business from purchases, renovations and rentals. Once the interest rates spiked, her stepfather sold those properties and she took a hiatus from real estate. 

Karen went to school and ended up in the Dental industry working as a Dental Hygienist for 15 years. She was reintroduced to the real estate industry by her employer, a Dental Entrepreneur, who was buying and selling dental offices and she would work closely with him on those deals.  

Today, Karen has vast experience in the real estate industry, including but not limited to: 

  • how to purchase property for your own needs
  • how to purchase property for rental income
  • how to complete renovations, building custom homes and purchasing property for investment. 
Her portfolio consists of mainly new builds, though she does have a couple of vacation properties in Florida and in Hollywood, California.

Real Estate is Karen’s passion and she enjoys the freedom of passive income, the leisure of travel and work at the same time, the creative side of financing deals and the creative design putting together a functional home for a family or a design for supplemental income. As the saying goes, when you find something you love to do, it no longer feels like work.

In this episode learn about:

– New Build Strategy and Process
– Advantages and Disadvantages of New Build
– Analyzing the Property
– Financing and Exit Strategy
– Type of Buyers to Look For
