Welcome

Welcome to the Property Development Fast Track Workshop, an
intensive, three-day coaching programme delivered personally by
the founders of propertyCEO

Property development has always been viewed as a route to creating
significant wealth, and as a result many people have considered it as a
means of creating additional income or indeed as a full-time profession.

One of the big attractions of development is that it is a highly leveraged
business model, with the developer playing a central role coordinating
an experienced team of professionals. That, and the fact that even a
small development can return a substantial six-figure profit, makes it a
very attractive proposition. And unlike many other property
'strategies', there are no tenants or broken boilers to contend with.

However, property development is inherently risky, and history is
littered with developers that have hit the rocks due to poor decision-
making, inexperience or a lack of education. Just because it's easy to
become a developer, doesn't mean it's easy to be a successful one.

Our job at propertyCEO is do two things for our students. The first is to
reduce risk. No one can remove risk entirely from a development
project, but you should always aim to be able to exit with the shirt still
on your back, i.e. without losing any money. Education allows you to
avoid some of the holes that unsuspecting developers can quite easily
fall down, and given the sums at stake, it really is a false economy not to
invest in your education before you start.

The second thing we do is allow students to see opportunities that they
wouldn't otherwise see. Winning deals shouldn't be about accepting
the lowest profit; it should be about out-bidding the competition
because you can see a way of making more profit than they can. It's also
about finding ways of getting access to deals where there is little or no
competition. Again, it's education that provides this edge.

The Perfect Storm

Why NOW Is The Perfect Time To Develop Property

We are living in uncertain times. A global pandemic that has changed people's lives and working
habits. A global recession that will see many businesses go to the wall, and a huge increase in the
number of unemployed. There's not a great deal to be optimistic about, and surely then a good time
to sit tight and wait for the storms to pass?

That is indeed what the majority of people will do, because uncertainty breeds inaction. But if we
cast our minds back to previous recessions, we can see that there were a group of people who were
able to capitalise on the prevailing conditions. Instead of sitting on their hands, they took action, and
in many cases that action allowed them to create life-changing wealth. So why do we think this might
be a 'perfect storm' for developers? Here are a few reasons for you to consider:

The cost of borrowing is at an all-time low, plus investors are
desperate to find better returns
The pandemic has created a sea-change in working practices, with
many businesses downsizing their office space, their staff
working from home. This will create a surplus of commercial and
industrial properties at reduced prices that are ripe for
conversion
Similarly, the recession and the pandemic combined will see many
businesses fold, and their properties come on to the market
There will be an increase in the demand for local office space and
office pods, as ex-commuters want to separate home and work
The government is committed to rejuvenating our high streets,
leading to massive opportunities to convert retail units. Many of
these deals are too small for the large scale homebuilders, but are
perfect for small-scale developers
The government has committed to build a huge number of new
homes with a focus on making use of brownfield sites
There are a raft of new permitted development rights to make it
easier and quicker to develop
The planning system is being overhauled which should result in a
much more streamlined decision-making process

The Ideal Student

Who Will Benefit From This Workshop?

The Property Development Fast Track Workshop is aimed
at anyone who's looking seriously at getting into
development and who wants to know how to do it
successfully, relatively quickly, and with as little risk as
possible. Our students come from many backgrounds and
situations:

People who don't have a big enough pension pot, or who want to improve their financial future
People wanting to create a separate income stream so their eggs are not all in one basket
Those looking to transition out of a business or career that perhaps has an uncertain future
Those looking for a better work/life balance where they can earn significant sums working part-
time using a highly-leveraged business model
Landlords and investors who want to fast-track their portfolio growth by creating capital
through property development
People who have been shaken by recent events, and who want to protect their family financially
against future uncertainties
People who already work in the property or construction industries and who want to try their
hand at development
Those simply looking to create greater wealth for themselves and their families

The workshop is also a great opportunity to work out whether property development is a good fit,
and also to decide whether you need any further training. Many students will feel they already have
enough knowledge and information to take what they've learned on the workshop and dive straight
into their first project. Others may be keen to have further training through our 6-Month
Mentorship Programme.

It's worth noting that, should you decide to embark on a mentorship with us, we will deduct the price
you paid for the Fast Track Workshop from the cost of the programme. Not only does that mean
you'll effectively be attending the workshop for free, but you'll also have a head start when you
enrol, PLUS you'll be confident in the quality of the training you're going to receive.

The propertyCEO Approach

The propertyCEO training approach brings together three core elements
that are the key to becoming a successful property developer

We recognise that property training on its own is not enough;
people need to improve their business skills and mindsets as
well, if they're to be highly successful.

 1. propertyCEO - This is where we teach the property-
specific knowledge that will guide students on their property
development journeys. They already have the essential
personal skills; propertyCEO gives them the knowledge to
leverage those skills in the world of property development to
great effect

2. BusinessBuilder - Any enterprise that creates profit is a
business, and the success of every business depends on it
being run effectively. BusinessBuilder gives students a
template to create a successful property company from the
ground up, using the same tools and principles that underpin
successful businesses the world over

3. personalCEO - All of this knowledge and skill requires one
essential ingredient to make things happen - you! The
personalCEO elements of our programmes are designed to
help people become the best possible versions of themselves,
helping them understand how they can work smarter and
better to become a great CEO

Combined, these three elements form the three legs to the
property development stool, however the benefit of the skills
we teach go way beyond property development...

The propertyCEO System

A Highly Leveraged Solution For Developing Property

Property Developers don't build houses.

You'll hear us say that time and time again because it's very true. Contractors and subcontractors
build houses. Architects design them. Private and commercial funders pay for them. Planning
Consultants, Solicitors, Structural Engineers, Designers, Estate Agents and many others all play an
important part. But the Developer doesn't do any of those things; instead they are simply the
catalyst that brings all of these people together. They basically make houses happen.

All of these professionals are hand-picked by the Developer; they have many years of experience
doing what they do and they get paid a good fee for their work. A fee paid from the project finance,
incidentally, and not by the Developer. Whilst the Developer may also take a fee, he or she also gets
to keep the profit at the end of the project; their reward for being the catalyst and for taking risk.

When you consider that team of professionals, their collective CV
looks hugely impressive. It covers decades, possibly even centuries of
experience. But what about the Developer's experience?

The skills used by the Developer are not unique to property
development. They require organisational skills; people skills,
decision-making skills and management skills. All skills that millions
of people use in their everyday lives without ever developing
property. Just like the cabinet minister who's been promoted from
Health to the Home Office, their value lies not in their departmental
knowledge but in their skills and abilities. The Developer is no
different.

So how can a new developer leverage the skills of their hugely
experienced professional team plus his or her innate skills and
abilities to gain the necessary knowledge and credibility as a
successful property developer?

That is exactly what propertyCEO is all about.

Programme Content

What Exactly Are You Signing Up For?

Well, it's going to be a pretty intensive three days!

On the following pages, we've outlined the subjects we'll be covering
in each session. As you can see, while we cover the end-to-end of
development, we do a deep dive or several key areas which are
absolutely critical to being successful as a developer:

Brand & Credibility
This is an area that we see so many developers get wrong. When you
consider that developers have relationships with people that will lend
them money, work for them, and sell them property, you can
understand that appearing credible is pretty important. We share with
you EXACTLY what you need to do to get your credibility in place from
Day 1.

Private & Commercial Finance
With bank interest rates at close to zero, it's no surprise that
investors are keen to look at development opportunities. But there
are some rules to the game that you need to know before you start, if
you want people to invest. You'll also hear from our friendly
commercial finance broker who will outline how to get in the best
possible position to get finance.

Finding Deals
Deals are pretty essential for any developer, and we look in detail not
only at how and where to find deals both on and off-market, but also
how to maximise your profitability from each project.

Analysing Deals
Getting the numbers right is one of the most important jobs in
property development, and we show you the right way to go about it.

10 © propertyCEO | Property Development Fast Track Workshop

The 8 Pillars Of Property Development Success
We're also going to be introducing you to our 8 Pillars framework which forms the basis of all our
development training. Systemising your business is key to getting results and minimising the
effort you need to spend, and we highly recommend that you use the 8 Pillars when setting up and
running your new property development business.

Before The Workshop
So what can you expect to happen once you've booked your place? A few days before the event we
will send you a workbook through the post that you will be using during our three days together.
There are a couple of sections we ask you to fill in before Day 1 so that you can get the most out of
the sessions, but it's nothing too onerous.
After an initial confirmation email, our Helpdesk Team will be in touch shortly before the event
with all the necessary links that you'll need to log in to the first session, and the rest should go like
clockwork!

The IPAD and DCAS Deal Analysers

The Best Way To Check Whether Deals Stack

Being able to see quickly whether deals stack is critical to the
success of any developer. So having a standard deal analyser
that you can use to help you make those decisions is vital if
you're to assess deals quickly and consistently.

But there's a problem. Some deal analysers can be too
complicated. You can spend hours filling in all the boxes only
to find that the deal doesn't come close to producing a profit,
and you've wasted all that time.

Then again, other deal analysers can be way too simple, and you run the risk of discarding genuine
opportunities. They also mean that a second, more complex level of analysis needs to be done
immediately afterwards, and so you end up doing more work rather than less.

The propertyCEO IPAD deal analyser (Initial Project Appraisal Document)has been created to be
the perfect blend; complex enough to give you an accurate assessment, but simple enough to be
able to use quickly. It's the exact same analyser that we give to our Mentorship students, and it's
the one we use for our own deals too!

As part of the workshop, you'll get full access to the IPAD deal analyser plus a comprehensive
video tutorial on how to use it, which you can access via the propertyCEO training portal after the
workshop.

We've also included our Deal Criteria Assessment Sheet (DCAS) as a special bonus, which allows
you to assess the relative merits of each deal you look at. These are both hugely powerful tools in
your armoury; ones that could otherwise take you months to develop and refine from scratch.

Your Money Back Guarantee

A No-Risk Decision For You

It's fair to say that property training doesn't always enjoy the best of
reputations. There are lots of people chasing get-rich-quick property
strategies, and any number of training companies all too happy to
take their money. But few offer the quality, depth and experience
required to create REAL value for students.

So how do you know whether propertyCEO is a good training
company? You've probably checked out the testimonials on our
website, and maybe watched some of our Open Door shows. But can
you really be sure that we know our stuff AND that we can offer the
right sort of training for you?

To be honest, that answer is probably going to be a 'no'. Until you've
experienced our training first-hand, you won't know for sure that we
can help you get to where you want to go. So that's why we've
decided to offer a 100% money back guarantee on the Fast Track
Workshop.

So, if you decide that our training is not for you, then providing you let
us know before lunchtime on the second day of the workshop, we'll
refund your money in full. All we ask is that you return any course
materials to us.

That way you can invest in yourself without worrying whether you've
made the right decision.

The propertyCEO Training Portal

Where Students Can Access Their Materials

One of the key challenges with this type of workshop is that, over time,
you can easily forget what you've learned. You can probably imagine
looking back through your handwritten notes in months to come,
trying to decipher what you've written and to remember the content
that seemed so clear at the time...
The good news is that we've thought of a really good way of avoiding
this rather frustrating scenario. So, immediately following the
workshop, we will arrange for you to have access to our Kajabi training
portal where you will be able to:
Watch a specially recorded version of the entire three-day workshop
(this is ideal if you missed any sessions or need a refresher down the
line)
Download the DCAS deal assessment sheet and view the tutorial
Watch the video tutorial for the IPAD deal analyser and download the
latest version
Download the letter and form templates
Access your 10 and Done! Daily Planner workbook and tutorial

A Simple Philosophy

"The Best Or Nothing"

Some years ago, Ian found himself looking for a property
development mentor. Wanting the very best, he was disappointed
by what he initially found. The world of property training seemed
to consist of largely generic content, and sales funnels designed to
get people to buy one training product after another. A gravy
train for the training companies, but why wasn't there a product
that simply delivered a high-quality 'Route One' into
development?

Worse still, many of the trainers appeared to have been not long "Strive for perfection in everything you do.

they have if they'd only completed a handful of projects? Luckily
for Ian, he was introduced to Ritchie, whose experience spanned When it does not exist, design it."
almost four decades, covered hundreds of projects, and who Henry Royce
remains to this day the most experienced industry-qualified
property development trainer in the UK. That partnership led to
the birth of propertyCEO and the rest, as they say, is history.

And so propertyCEO was created because there was a gap in the "If the perfect property development training

training materials and a philosophy that was focused on customer Ian Child
results.

The Fast Track Workshop was introduced in 2020 to meet the
demand from people who were not yet interested in/able to
undertake our flagship Mentorship Programme, but who still
wanted to receive highest possible quality training before moving
forward with their development plans.

The propertyCEO Helpdesk

The Helpdesk Team Are Available On Demand To Support You

A critical part of any training programme is the back office
support that makes accessing information and resolving any
issues as quick and as painless as possible.
Ian and Ritchie have a team of people working behind the
scenes whose job it is to make sure you get the support you
need. The Helpdesk Team aims to respond to all enquiries
within two business days, however they often respond the
same day.
The Helpdesk Team will be your first point of contact for any
questions or issues, and they are there to answer any questions
you may have about the course administration, access to
materials or any clarification questions regarding points
covered on the workshop.

During that time, Ian worked with some of the world's most dynamic organisations,
and learned first-hand how they train their people and their businesses to be
successful.

A passionate advocate and student of mindset coaching, Ian created personalCEO

training. His deep understanding of personal and business branding underpins
propertyCEO's comprehensive training in this area, allowing students to gain
credibility as first-time developers.

Frequently Asked Questions

We're sure you'll have questions, and we're very happy to answer
them. This section may answer some of the more obvious ones, and for
any others please just get in touch.

1. What will I get from the workshop?
You will leave the workshop armed with an understanding of the overall
property development cycle, and an overview of the 8 Pillars system that will
greatly enhance your chances of success with your developments. We also
focus on the key elements that most new developers are concerned about;
finding deals, analysing them accurately, sourcing finance, and establishing
credibility despite the lack of previous experience. You will also leave the
workshop with a personalised game plan for moving forward.

2. Will I be trained by Ritchie and Ian?
Yes, the Fast Track Workshop is currently the only place outside the 6-Month
Mentorship Programme where you can get formally trained by Ritchie and Ian.
Unlike many other training companies who outsource key parts of the training
to junior trainers, on this workshop you get trained by the founders of the
company in person. That way we guarantee you are getting the best possible
content.

3. What sets propertyCEO apart from other training companies?
There are a number of things. Firstly we specialise in development, so we're not
about to try and sell you a range of other property 'strategies' - we are experts
in what we do. Secondly we have a real depth of experience; around 70 years
covering property development, business and mindset. Finally, we sit at the
premium end of the market and aim to be the best at what we do. Many of our
students have first-hand experience of other training courses, and we always
elicit a favourable comparison. We believe our values underpin our success -
check out the testimonials from other students.

Frequently Asked Questions

4. What time does the workshop start and end each day?
We start at 9.30am each day and end at 5.00pm except the final day when we end
at 4.30pm. There is a 45 minute lunch break plus plenty of comfort breaks
throughout each day.

5. What happens if I find that the workshop isn't for me?
You simply need to take advantage of our money-back guarantee. Just tell us
before lunchtime on Day 2 that you don't wish to continue, and we'll arrange for
you to get a full refund of what you've paid. All we ask is that you return your
course materials to us.

6. What type of property development strategies do you teach? 
We train people to be able to develop property full stop, rather than focusing on a
specific strategy. After all, why would you want to be limited in the development
you can do? That said we cover a wide range of development types, from new
builds to every type of conversion. We also look at the latest opportunities in the
market place given the recent changes to permitted development rights and the
impact of the global pandemic and recession.

7. What other materials will I receive? 
In addition to your attendance at the workshop, you'll get our deal analysers,
various letter templates and our 10 & Done! Daily Planner. These will be made
available to you after the workshop through our online training portal.

8. How many people will be attending the workshop?
We limit each workshop to a maximum of 20 students. That way we can guarantee
that we're able to make it a highly interactive experience and that everyone's
questions will get answered.

22 © propertyCEO | Property Development Fast Track Workshop

9. What software will I need to access the Workshop?
We will be using our GoToMeeting application, which is a leading virtual meeting
application. If you've not used it before, then just like any similar software, you
may need to allow your computer to let the application have access to your
microphone and camera so that you can join, but otherwise it should be very
straightforward.

10. Will you help me find commercial finance for my projects?  
You will be hearing from one of our own commercial broking contacts at the
workshop, plus we'll teach you how you can find funding from other sources.

11. Do I need to have a lot of capital or investment funds to be a developer?
No, we teach you how to find the funding you need to do projects, both from
commercial lenders and from private investors. However it's worth noting that
some lenders may require developers to fund a small proportion of the project
personally. In addition, you'll need some working capital to get your
development brand established, e.g. creating a website, printing business cards
etc. We teach you how to do this very cost-effectively, but it won't be completely
free.

12. How can I work out whether to attend the Fast Track Workshop or to apply
for a place on the Mentorship Programme?
Many students are already aware that they need our Mentoring Programme to
make their development journey as safe and successful as possible, and choose
to skip the Fast Track programme. Others feel confident that armed with the
benefit of the Fast Track training, they can make progress on their own. If you
have any doubts, we suggest you take the Fast Track Workshop initially as it's a
much smaller investment financially. If you then decide to upgrade to a
mentorship place, we will deduct the price you paid for the Workshop from your
fee. That way, you won't have spent any more than had you purchased a
Mentorship place without first going on the Fast Track Workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions

13. What if I miss any of the sessions?
Taking three days out is a big ask and it's conceivable you may miss some of the
sessions if something crops up unexpectedly. However, after the workshop you
will be given access to a specially compiled workshop recording so not only will
you be able to catch up on any sessions you missed, you will also be able to go back
and refresh your memory on the whole course.

14. Will the workshop be recorded?
Yes, we will record the session, and by attending the workshop you agree to us
being able to do this. Please note that we will not use the recording for any
external marketing purposes. The recording you will receive access to after the
workshop will be a specially compiled version and may not feature your own
workshop group. The full name of attendees shown on any compiled footage is not
disclosed.

15. I work full-time; will this stop me becoming a property developer?
No, it's perfectly possible to run a property development project whilst having a
full time job. That's exactly how many successful developers began. However, it
can be challenging if you have little or no flexibility in your working day. A key
advantage of the workshop is that you can understand exactly what's involved in
development, allowing you to gauge how it could fit around your other priorities.

16. What are the risks associated with property development compared to
other investment strategies?
The first thing you need to know is that there IS risk. Whenever you try and create
wealth you generate risk, whether this is by starting a business, buying stocks and
shares or developing property. We cover risk in detail on the programme, looking
at what risks can affect you, and of course how you can mitigate them. There are
no guarantees in property, however by doing your due diligence you reduce your
risk levels significantly. In our view, property development is less risky than many
other investment strategies because you have much greater control.

Getting To Know Us

We know that committing to a training partner is a big step; not
only because of the financial investment involved, but also
because you need to have confidence you will see actual results.
So how can you get a feel for propertyCEO's values and depth of
experience, so you can understand what we're all about?

Well, we don't hide our light under a bushel, as the expression has it. And
we've even been told the training we give away for free is better than the
training that other people charge for, but we'll let you be the judge...

The best way to get a feel for who we are is to watch our free weekly
OPEN DOOR show - you can catch the latest episodes on our YouTube
channel or at www.propertyceo.co.uk/webinars. We also run a free
podcast which is imaginatively called The propertyCEO Podcast, and
which you can access on Apple, Stitcher and all other popular podcasting
platforms, or at www.propertyceo.co.uk/podcasts.

Then there's our snappily-named private Facebook Group called
Business Owners Creating Wealth Through Property Development.
Here you can mingle not only with Ritchie and Ian but also with many of
their students, both past and present.

Finally, you can read our articles in leading magazines such as Property
Investor News and Your Property Network (YPN), or read our books
'Industrial To Residential Conversions' and 'Your Own Personal Time
Machine', both of which are available on Amazon.

So please do check us out, and of course you can always get in touch with
us at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Testimonials

Don't Just Take Our Word For It...

At the end of the day, a training company is only as good
as its customers say it is. If they've received great
training and got great results, then it pretty much
speaks for itself.

So what about propertyCEO? Well, we've interviewed a
number of our students and you can see what they had
to say on the testimonials page on our website
(www.propertyceo.co.uk/testimonials). You can also
read some of the written testimonials from former
students as well.

Finally you'll find many former mentees in our private
Facebook Group which is called 'Business Owners
Creating Wealth Through Property Development', so
feel free to engage with them there to get their views.

We do hope you've found this prospectus useful. We'd
love to answer any further questions you may have, so
please do get in touch with us at
[email protected], and we'll do our best to
answer them. We look forward to hearing from you.

With best wishes from the propertyCEO Team.
