By Bill Zheng, February 2012

Now before you think I am going talk about politics, I am no expert in politics, I can only draw on some business examples with the understanding that there are vast differences between politics and business, as they are motivated for different purposes. Most importantly, I want to see how we can learn from this as property investors.

The basic idea that I get from my limited reading, is that Kevin Rudd is very intelligent and more popular with the voters in the opinion polls and Julia Gillard is very disciplined and more popular with her colleagues.

If the Labor party is not in trouble, Gillard can easily beat Rudd to be the party leader, as party leaders are decided by internal popularity. But if the Labor Party is in serious trouble to lose the next election, then whoever can lead them to victory will be more likely to be made leader of the party. I know I am not telling you anything new here.

This reminds me of the two typical types of people in business namely the entrepreneurs and the managers. The entrepreneurs are usually a little bit crazy and creative, more visionary but often more egotistical, the managers are usually more level headed and can get things done with more  support from their colleagues.

We are talking about two different types of people here: entrepreneurs who mostly live in the future and thrive on chaos and uncertainty, and managers who are usually more in  touch with the reality, prefer stability and have better people management skills. Great entrepreneurs are usually more admired by people outside of the business because their visions and their ideas of the future can be very inspiring but not necessarily the easiest to work with. Great managers on the other hand, are usually better listeners and more in touch with reality, they are easier to work with and less demanding as they are usually more flexible with future direction, their flexibility on future direction comes from the fact that finding and holding a longer term vision is not their strength as they don’t usually live in the future.

A good example that came to mind is Steve Jobs and Apple Computers. He was pushed out of the leader’s position by an excellent manager (recruited by him) to manage the company during a time when the company saw that its survival could do without Steve’s egotistical behaviour, as majority of Steve’s colleagues (including his board members) found him impossible to work with, this was partly because very few people could see far enough into the future to share his vision and also because he can be very unreasonable with his demands and no one could keep up with his work ethic either.

When Apple Computers were a few months away from going bankrupt the company had no choice but to bring Steve back, only his crazy ideas and visions could save Apple.  Fortunately Steve also became more mature from his major setback and learnt to respect the importance of good management and let his managers do what they were good at, while he stuck to what he was good at.

I am not here to compare the Labor party to Apple Computers, or Kevin Rudd to Steve Jobs, or speak about which party should be in government at the moment, as business and politics have very different rules. But what I am trying to do here is to help us better understand ourselves.

Let’s look at both sides of the coin within the business context:

• Imagine a great manager sees all the shortcomings of an entrepreneur (e.g. egos, unpredictable behaviours, unrealistic optimism and unreasonable demands) and decides that he wants to take over the entrepreneur’s role to lead rather than manage.  Because a manager’s focus is more present with current reality and is less inspiring, you will find that the business starts to lose direction along with its appeal to the customers.
  This is one of the main reasons why so many great business managers fail to do well when they start to run their own business as an entrepreneur. They have always assumed that they can do a better job than their boss, as their boss’s flaws are so obvious to them, but never learn to appreciate the critical contribution of an entrepreneur.

• Imagine a great entrepreneur sees all the shortcomings of a great manager (e.g. they are usually more pessimistic about what can be done, continually pour ‘cold water’ on your great ideas and they also tend to sympathize with their colleagues to slow things down), he decides that he wants to manage the business himself as he can make it happen faster.  Because of the entrepreneur’s nature of living in the future and thriving on chaos, you will find that the entrepreneur will not listen to others and starts to create enough chaos to cause the business to be dysfunctional, and less and less of those great ideas can ever be implemented.
  This is one of the main reasons why so many great entrepreneurs with great vision and practical ideas fail in business, as business organizations do require better team work spirit and superior management skills that they never appreciated in the first place.

Everyone has a bit of both entrepreneurial and managerial capacity within us, but we are often more endowed with one or the other.  If we are not aware of our own tendency and strength, we can be unhappy and unproductive due to the mismatch of our ability to our roles.

It is much easier to be bad at both of these roles, but it is extremely hard to be great at both at the same time. This is because you either spend most of your time in the future, or most of your time in the present. You will need to have enormous capacity to be able to switch between the two at ease. There are only a handful of people who can do both well and even then they often still have a hard time convincing others.

For example, if you are given only one narrow viewpoint to observe the Labor leadership battle within the context of these two roles, you may say that the 71 MPs that voted for Julia Gillard believe that she can be both a great entrepreneur (i.e. visionary, inspiring and forward looking leader) and a great manager (i.e. realistic, disciplined and ‘get things done’ manager) and the 31 that voted against her believe that she is a great manager only and still not sure if she can lead them to victory in the next election.

I have found a great example of someone who can do both of these roles well at the same time, that is Abraham Lincoln after he became the US president. He was clearly someone who could lead and manage at the same time, the proof is in the fact that he didn’t criticize any of his colleagues after he became the president.

When someone stops blaming others, he is taking full responsibility of his own role and also accepts other people’s roles and lets them take their responsibility at the same time.  I have found this incredibly hard to practice; all you have to do is to ask the people around me how often I have to blame someone for something. It got so bad that I had to put Lincoln’s picture on the wall in my office to remind myself: ‘if someone running a country doesn’t have to blame others to justify himself, what excuse do I have to blame others for anything?’

Let me explain the logic behind this.

• If you are more of an entrepreneur type, it is the entrepreneur’s responsibility to make sure your vision and ideas are manageable by the managers, simply blaming the manager’s inability to manage is to admit your inability to lead.
• If you are more of a manager type, it is the manager’s responsibility to manage the entrepreneur and the team to get things done; simply blaming the entrepreneur is to admit your inability to manage.

After all, human beings only blame something they can do something about.  When was the last time you saw someone who tripped over a chair start blaming gravity? He is more likely to blame the chair, someone who puts the chair there or himself, because he knew he couldn’t do a thing about gravity, but he can do something about the chair, the person who puts the chair there, or himself.

You may wonder why I have been spending so much time talking about this, because I have found incredible similarities in just about everything we do as long as it involves two or more people.

Let me give you a list of examples to consider:

• You will find that between a husband and a wife, the chances are that one of you will be more entrepreneurial and the other more managerial, but often we only focus on what the other person needs to improve on ☺, rather than letting the other person be the best they can be with what they are good at, whilst taking full responsibility for our own role.
• You will find this in property projects and syndicate investments, the developer or promoter with the most creative ideas and the biggest vision may not necessarily be able to get it done profitably, unless they have an excellent team under good management that can execute it.
• You also find some troubled kids at school turn out to be great entrepreneurs if they are lucky enough to find some great managers to support them.
• You also find some troubled employees that no managers want to manage, because they always come up with crazy ideas that mess up the stability of management.  Some of them can end up becoming very successful as entrepreneurs.

I would also like to point out:

• Just because someone is a trouble maker and can be crazy sometimes, doesn’t necessarily make him a great entrepreneur in business.  Great entrepreneurs usually have something in common: great intellect and intuition as well as the capacity for original thought and the ability to inspire. They are the ones that tend to see direction from chaos and uncertainty that others don’t see.
• Just because someone is organized and risk adverse, doesn’t necessarily make him a great manager either.  Great managers usually have superior people skills, they are disciplined and consistent in setting great examples for others.

How do you apply the above understanding in property investing?

• If you are not an entrepreneurial type who thrives on risk and uncertainty, then higher risk type property activities may not be suitable for you.

  For example, you need to be extra careful going into any of the following property activities:

• • Property development and major renovation;
  • Land subdivision;
  • Strata title single block into multiple units;
  • Using options on properties and development sites;
  • Overseas property transactions that you have little control;
  • Mining town properties that are more speculative;
  • Student accommodation that requires a business operation to support it;
  • Holiday or resort type properties that are more seasonal and less predictable;
  • High end or luxury properties that are more volatile during bad economic times;
  • Serviced apartments and display homes that depend on the business performance of the lessee;
  • Properties in remote or isolated booming areas that can also go down quickly if the story goes away or the market becomes irrational after the initial overheating period;
  • Wrapping properties (vendors term, rent to buy or purchase leased option type transactions) that is very much a full on business;

    But you may feel more compatible with the following property activities:

• • More affordable with no strings attached type investment properties in highly populated areas, i.e. properties that can be rented out every day and sold every day, and it is affordable to majority of the tenants and buyers during good times and bad times.
  • Simple and easy to understand houses or apartments that suit the surrounding environment and demographics, be it off-the-plan, new or established, depending on your tax break and whether they are over-supplied if you are concerned with the short term return.
• If you are an entrepreneurial type person, you then have two options:
  • If you are willing to put a lot of effort and time into properties to learn from your own mistakes to become more capable, then going into some higher risk and higher return property investing activities can be a thrilling experience for you. You know you can’t stick to something easy or simple for long anyway, and you have no interest in smaller and more consistent returns, you are willing to lose a lot to gain a lot, then why not go for your passion? You can become very wealthy or very poor through this process, but at least you have fun doing it ☺. To improve your chances of success, it would be smart for you to find a great manager type person to help you along.
  • If you can’t afford to put too much time into property activities or have no interest in developing further property related skills because you have other priorities in life such as business, career or family, then you need to ensure that you find an outlet for your entrepreneurial appetite outside of properties so that you don’t casually put your money into high risk and high return property strategies, because all higher return property strategies potentially involve higher risk and will require more of your attention and demand better control and experience from you.  So your property investing activities can remain similar to those listed above for people who are not entrepreneurial by nature.

Summary

I guess if you are more of an entrepreneur type, it would be a great idea to work with someone with great managerial capacity; if you are more of a manager type, it would be a great idea to work with someone with great entrepreneurial capacity.

Unfortunately we are often criticized for what we are not good at and rarely receive recognition and appreciation for what we are good at. Hence most of us spend too much time trying to improve our weakness to keep our critics happy. In other words, we can try to be everything for everyone, but in the end become nothing for no one.

The price of not knowing ourselves is always very expensive.

Wealth is Neutral

At its most basic, money is a tool that enables us to meet our individual needs. As a form of potential energy that empowers us to generate change, it is neither good nor bad. Yet many people react emotionally to issues concerning finances, unconsciously condemning currency itself, the manner in which money is spent, and people who live lives of financial abundance. Individuals who are rich in gifts such as high intelligence are acknowledged for their positive traits while those who have acquired material riches or aspire to become wealthy are frequently judged harshly. However, wealth is not a trait upon which judgment can be legitimately passed. It tells us nothing about how a person lives, what they believe in, whom they care for, or the scope of their values. Like any blessing, wealth is merely an instrument of purpose that can be used both constructively and destructively.

From an early age, people learn to court wealth while simultaneously associating money with greed, selfishness, and unethical behavior. Consequently, this idea becomes entrenched in their hearts as envy. To attain a balanced and rational comprehension of money, as well as a fairer perspective of wealth, we need to recognize that outward manifestations of wealth tell us little about the individuals enjoying those blessings. When we feel the finger of jealousy prompting us to draw unflattering conclusions about people whose lives seem more financially secure than our own, we should remind ourselves that there are many elements of their circumstances we cannot see. Their wealth may be the result of long hours of taxing labor, they may donate a large percentage of their resources to charitable causes, or their bounty may be an incidental aspect of a life spent doing what they love. Ultimately, we can heal our hurtful associations with money by turning a blind eye toward both wea! lth and poverty when interacting with others and instead focusing on the individual before us.

If you take a moment to consider you own feelings regarding money and wealth, you may discover that you equate financial prosperity with happiness, power, security, independence, or self-indulgence. Money itself, however, is none of these things. You can begin developing a healthier view of wealth by simply accepting that while some possess great wealth and others do not, we all have the potential to create lives of beauty, substance, and wisdom using the resources we have been granted.

“There is a secret psychology to money,” says T. Harv Eker, internationally renowned speaker and author of 11 top-selling books and courses, “The truth is, your ‘money blueprint’, ingrained in your subconscious mind since childhood, is the singlemost important factor in determining your level of wealth.

NATIONAL HOUSING SUPPLY COUNCIL LAUNCHES STATE OF SUPPLY REPORT 2011

The National Housing Supply Council today presented its State of Supply Report 2011 to the newly appointed Minister for Housing and Homelessness, Hon Robert McClelland MP. The report updates the Council’s estimates of the underlying demand for housing and the supply of dwellings to June 2010, and presents projections of underlying demand and supply over the 20 years to 2030. It also examines housing affordability trends, and considers the factors contributing to Australia’s housing shortage.

“I am pleased the Council is able to release this update. It will assist in ensuring that government, industry and other interested parties have a strong evidence base for decision making,” the National Housing Supply Council Chair, Dr Owen Donald said.

Key findings of the report include:

• The production of additional housing stock failed to match increased underlying demand in 2009-10 and 2010-11.
• The extent of the deficit in the construction of dwellings was moderated by the production of additional social housing funded as part of the economic stimulus package that responded to the Global Financial Crisis.
• But there was still a shortfall of the order of 28,000 dwellings in 2009-10, producing an estimated cumulative shortage of nearly 187,000 dwellings since June 2001.
• The shortfall is projected to have extended to around 215,000 in 2010-11.
• The largest gaps between underlying demand and supply are in NSW and Queensland.
• The housing ‘sub-markets’ with the greatest shortages are affordable purchase and rental for households on low to moderate income, and subsidised rental housing for low income people.

“The Council believes that actions that impact directly on the supply side of the market are needed to improve housing supply and affordability,” Dr Donald said.

“The scope of such action could usefully include government financing of additional housing for lower income people (such as through the National Affordable Housing Agreement or the National Rental Affordability Scheme), support for financing instruments to increase the supply of such housing, changes to planning and development approval arrangements, and changes to infrastructure provision, coordination and financing. Existing demand-side measures like the First Home Owners Grant and Commonwealth Rental Assistance could also be re-examined with a view to having a more substantial impact on housing supply and affordability.

“There are signs that some development and construction firms are responding to the need for more lower cost housing by developing smaller dwellings on smaller allotments and by working with housing associations to increase the supply of subsidised rental housing.

“There has also been some movement on land release arrangements and infrastructure coordination in several states. But much more of this is needed and infrastructure financing and scheduling are still major issues. So too are planning and development approval arrangements for infill housing in most jurisdictions, with delays, uncertainty and adverse community reaction being major obstacles to increasing supply within existing urban areas.

“The Henry Review and Tax Summit have also drawn attention to aspects of the tax-transfer system at national and state levels that contribute to poor affordability and favour individual investors over institutions like superannuation funds.

“The Council is very pleased about the creation of a Cabinet-level ministerial position with responsibility for all Commonwealth’s housing-focussed activities,” Dr Donald said. “This should provide a sound platform for an integrated approach to housing policy with a strong focus on supply and affordability and their links to a productive, equitable and sustainable society.”

The report explains that the presence of a gap between underlying demand and supply is not inconsistent with the softer market conditions experienced since the Global Financial Crisis. Underlying demand is driven predominantly by demographic factors. Its conversion into actual demand (order and sales) is moderated by a wide variety of market considerations, including the state of the economy, business and consumer confidence, housing prices in various areas, and housing affordability relative to the incomes of prospective buyers and investors.

The Council has also observed that there are parts of Australia where the housing market is still running hot, notably in areas where employment has been boosted by increasing demand and prices for natural resources.

The Council has also projected underlying demand and supply through to 2030. The medium growth scenario (extending existing trends) suggests a shortfall of over 600,000 dwellings by that time. An emerging housing shortfall of such magnitude would likely lead to changes in demand (lower population growth, and fewer but larger households than indicated by the projections), housing production (higher than projected volume with new products emerging to address the areas of shortage) and government policy on housing assistance, urban development and infrastructure provision. The effect of lower than projected underlying demand and of increased housing prices arising from severe shortages could have negative repercussions for economic growth and living standards.

The National Housing Supply Council was established by the Government in 2008 to provide forecasts, analysis and advice on the adequacy of land supply and construction activity to meet housing demand and improve affordability. The State of Supply Report provides independent and consistent data on the balance between underlying demand and supply and on housing affordability for owners and renters.

“On behalf of the Council, I would like to thank the our previous Minister, Hon Tony Burke MP, Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities, for his support and encouragement of the work of the Council. We look forward to working with Mr McClelland and making further progress in the coming year,” Dr Donald said.

We’ve talked about this before, but to briefly recap, Warren Buffet, George Soros, Donald Trump, Bill Gates or Richard Branson have all found themselves being “lucky” enough to create massive fortunes yet each one has done it in very different ways. There is no, one, mystical formula that suits all. This we are 100% confident of.

Here’s the proof:  Richard Branson builds teams of people as he grows new businesses using creative innovation as a key leverage tool whereas Warren Buffet has never created anything in his life, he uses his “steely” energy to study the numbers and balances this with his well-grounded capacity to see value in a company that already exists. Buffet lets other people start a business, then he buys good value whereas Branson always starts new enterprises.

So, what can we learn from this. Quite simply, by knowing your wealth profile, and then knowing how to apply your profile and knowing which Wealth Creators are the best for you personally to use as models you can learn your own personal path to your future security.

What do all these successful Wealth Creators have in common?

To answer this I need to draw your attention to this butterfly.

This is a photo taken in Bali early this month by John Abbott; the very happy smile is owned by his wife, Roz. Don’t be distracted by her smile, just focus on the butterfly. When they are caterpillars, or when they are in their cacoons we seem to be far less attracted to them. However, when they finally stand tall and spread their gorgeous wings we marvel at their colour and their magnificence. We go to zoos and sanctuaries simply to see them and experience their wonder.  What did they do to attract us? They just had to “BE” magnificent.

But, let’s take this one step further. What is attractive to a butterfly? Butterflies love to hang out in a gorgeous garden. Therefore, it is the flowers, and the plants in a garden that now become even more important because without them, there would be no butterflies. So, we’re now talking about creating an environment that is attractive.

And the lesson for us?

Imagine the butterfly is a $100 note.  People will flock to look at it; the colour, the design, the qualities.  But what if you could create an attractive garden that will attract $100 notes?

You have a choice, you can run around with a net, chasing the money, trying to catch $100 butterflies, or you can build a garden of value that sets up a river of “FLOW” that simply attracts what you are looking for.

Each of the wealth creators listed above have done this. They have built gardens that have attracted the wealth they now have. The garden is full of their value and people and money are attracted to what they have built.  There is a path for each of us that will allow us to build our own garden with greater ease. And, when you do this with your own “FLOW” in mind, it is built with fun and joy and whilst it may take time and effort it never has to “feel” like hard work.

One of the first things you need to realize in life, and maybe one of the most important, is that everything you see and relate to in life is only a small part of the unlimited amounts of information that are available to you.

In reality, we all react to our perception of a situation. This doesn’t actually make it true. The more we become aware of how we are reacting to situations, the more insight we will get into who we really are, and this will automatically build our own self-confidence.

Attend our “Your Financial Diamond” course in Melbourne and learn some interesting ways to determine the difference between Perspective and Reality.

Are you seeing circles or are you seeing squares?

When you understand the way perception can change your reality, it changes the way you react to other people. It makes you realize other people can be correct, even if they see things totally different from you.

The next time you are talking to someone and they are complaining about someone else remember there are always two (or more) sides to any situation. This may make you a little more careful before jumping to conclusions and taking actions that might have disastrous consequences for someone else.

Attend our “Your Financial Diamond” course in Melbourne. As part of this course we will discuss how your perspective can change how you react when opportunities come your way, whether they are financial, related to the property market or related to other cash flow opportunities.

“Housing to 2020 is the most comprehensive report available regarding the homes Australia builds compared to what we need to build,” said HIA Senior Economist, Andrew Harvey. “The report’s projections highlight just how large the aggregate housing supply challenge facing Australia has become.”

“HIA estimates that Australia will require in the order of 1.6 million homes over the nine years to 2020, but if we build at the average rate of the last 20 years many areas of the country will have a critical housing shortage by 2020. Under such a scenario the cumulative national shortage could approach 500,900 dwellings,” said Andrew Harvey.

“Clearly that situation can’t be allowed to happen and it doesn’t have to happen. Substantial policy reform is required, and can be achieved, to ensure Australia begins reducing its shortage of dwellings, rather than accumulating a larger one,” said Andrew Harvey.

The greatest housing supply challenge is in New South Wales which, under HIA’s medium build-rate scenario1, could reach a dwelling shortage of 155,700 dwellings by 2020 in the absence of sustained policy reform.

Under the same scenario, the projected dwelling shortages at 2020 in the other states and territories are: 104,200 dwellings in Victoria; 112,000 dwellings in Western Australia; 91,800 dwellings in Queensland; 24,600 dwellings in South Australia; 12,500 dwellings in the Northern Territory; and 1,400 dwellings in the ACT. Tasmania could reach a projected surplus of 1,300 houses by 2020.

Seven of the twenty LGA’s with the largest projected housing shortfall by 2020 are in Western Australia, six are in Queensland, five are in NSW, and two are in the Northern Territory.
