It’s a huge mind f*ck for us to be acting outside of integrity. Most people can agree that it’s a good thing to have integrity.  But for us it goes further than that.  When we are out of integrity, we make bad decisions, we lose clarity and it creates tension – not only in ourselves but in our relationships with others.  That is not how we want to live or how we want to do business.  

It starts with Alberta and the favourable tenancy act which includes fast evictions, no rental raise restrictions and you aren’t mandated to rent to pets.  No land transfer tax and no pst on property services is also huge.  Edmonton specifically (despite what the news tells you) has a favourable rental market with in-migration and steady or growing GDP.  Also, TILT, our property management company is located in Edmonton.  All property management companies are not equal.  This became VERY apparent during the pandemic.  While most property management companies were seeing upwards of 30 – 40% delinquencies in rent payments, TILT saw only 2 people out of 500 not pay rent.  Management matters.

TONS!  But if we were to name one that is more nuanced it would be the opportunistic people and groups in the industry.  This doesn’t apply to all “educators”, but it does apply to most.  There are people out there who have written books or are on stage and they are completely full of sh*t.  They are ego driven, love the spotlight but have no idea how to invest – in fact the majority of these people have very small or poorly performing portfolios.  There are groups out there who are focused purely on sales – whether they are selling memberships, event tickets, products or programs.  It isn’t about the audience and it definitely isn’t about supporting others.  This is why we say it’s nuanced.  Our program is client centric first.  The value of the program dictates the pricing.  Most groups are sales centric – They set the price, try to sell as much as possible regardless of the product and the client.  It’s a really important difference but really hard to spot.

This is such a no brainer.  Without personal development success is limited.  Success to us is wholistic – it’s not just money, freedom, relationships with yourself and others – it’s the whole package.  We know from personal experience that you can achieve superficial goals without being successful.  It wasn’t until we started doing some serious personal development that we went from being rich to living richly.   We also believe in continual growth – it’s not like you reach a point and that’s it.  That’s ridiculous.  Lastly, personal development and professional / financial growth are mutually reenforcing. They aren’t siloed ventures.
