Well ... I found out on Tuesday that someone else found out that they had been accepted on Monday and by Wednesday lunchtime I was resigned to the fact that I had probably not been accepted. Wednesday was a busy day for me as I had a job interview and some business to do around the place and I had left my mobile at home.

When I got home I had a message from Steve Fagan congratulating me on being accepted into the program. I was so excited I called Susan straight away and then started worrying about where we were going to come up with the money as we haven't had any money coming in for 6 weeks. So I sat down and did the sums and it was going to be tight ... very tight. So I did what any aspiring entrepeneur would do ... I started working out a deal. I still haven't heard back about the offer we put to Carly as yet ... I'll let you know how we go! Whatever happens, at least I have asked for more which is something Carly tells us to keep doing ... you never know when you will get a YES answer!!! If push comes to shove then there is just enough money available on our credit cards to pay for my tuition even if it does mean that we will be eating baked beans for the next two weeks!

My job interview went really well ... it's for the position of Sales Office Manager for Juniper Developments (one of QLD's largest property developers) working on the Soul project (have a look at it here ... http://www.soul.com.au/). The role will be really challenging but I think working for a business that is doing what we want to do can only accelerate our education. The combination of this job and the Elite program is going to hold me in good stead for our future.

I've been working on a number of things for our business (Realise Property) including business card design (we had an idea to use a green fingerprint on the card to show that we are environmentally conscious and will incorporate eco-friendly design into our development), company structure investigation and networking with real estate agents.

I've also been working on our other business - Realise Your Dreams. This business is promoting courses like Carly's as an Affiliate Marketer and also developing a monthly newsletter for subscribers. Our purpose with this business is to help other like-minded people to achieve their own goals and dreams. Have a look at it here ... http://www.realiseyourdreams.com.au/

Susan has been busy with her work up in Brisbane ... the travel is getting to her a bit but it has been a good opportunity for her to listen to lots of good stuff on her iPod. She has been revisiting some of Jamie McIntyre's homestudy which is very motivating for her and lots of business podcasts from Sky News. She has set up a Self Managed Super Fund with a friend and is in the process of writing an eBook on how to do it. It will be a best seller!!! =) I will see if we can negotiate a discount for all of our forum members when she has finished it ;)

So ... congrats to all those who have been accepted into the Elite program ... I look forward to working closely with you! Any infomation that we are allowed to share with those not doing the Elite program will be available on this forum.

Cheers ...

Mick
