Nearly 100 AFL Academy members joined us at the Holiday Inn Brentwood and the energy in the room was spot on. We started with Express Mortgages & Insurance, breaking down the different types of mortgages available for your deals and the insurances you need in place. Solid, practical knowledge everyone can use straight away. We then split into 4 rooms based on experience level, so everyone got the right level of support, whether you’re just getting started or already doing deals. In the afternoon, our mentors Tom Mills, Rob Mason, Tanner Hicks, and the Dobsons led sessions on their specialist strategies, sharing real insights and what’s actually working right now. Big congratulations to the whole team and every single person who showed up 👏 These days only work because people turn up, get involved, and take action. That’s what makes this community different. 👉 It’s not just about property 👉 It’s about people and real progress If you were there… what was your biggest takeaway?

April has passed, just like that, and it didn’t wait for any of us. May won’t either. We all started with something in mind, a goal, a plan, a quiet promise to ourselves. But truthfully, nothing changes unless we move. So this month, be honest with yourself. Start where you are, even if it’s messy. Take that step you’ve been putting off. Stay consistent, even on the days you don’t feel like it. Because in the end, it’s not about what we intended to do, it’s about what we actually did. Let May be the month you show up for yourself. What’s one thing you’re actually going to take action on this month?

Most people in property are struggling with the same thing. but no one really says it. They can find deals. They understand the basics. But when it’s time to move forward. No funding. No investors. No momentum. I’ve been there. For a long time, I thought I just needed “the right investor.” But nothing changed until I focused on what I could control, consistency. I started sourcing deals every month and used income from a side hustle to fund my early projects. That’s what built my confidence… and my track record. Then investors started to take me seriously, and partnerships followed. If you’re stuck right now, it’s not just you. So be honest. Are you struggling more with finding deals, or funding them?

Day 4 was all about getting back in the room and putting in the work. We delivered valuable sessions on positioning, preparation, and monetisation, making sure our delegates are clear on what their offer is, how to communicate it effectively, and how to turn it into real business growth. We also broke the room down into smaller pods so everyone could work on the pitch they’ll be presenting on the final day of the retreat, giving them the chance to refine their message, build confidence, and get ready to deliver. Retreats really are the place to remove the noise, lock in, and become the business owner you know you’re capable of becoming. And with the Marbella retreats coming up fast… have you booked your flights yet? Don’t miss the chance to get in this kind of environment 🔥
