What makes a good Financial Advisor?

Well, for one, having the coveted internationally recognised certification helps. And of course as the truth is in the pudding, a good example of how someone was helped by the Financial Advisor to retire comfortably, earlier than expected.

That's what Arthur How brings to the table when he looks at your finances and financial goals.

Every business owner in our room brings a level of expertise, and genuine want to help our clients and each other to succeed in business and in life.

If you want to know more about how we in BNI Business Networkers roll... Join us for a no obligation breakfast meeting on Thursday mornings at the Morack Golf Course.

Drop us a message or comment below and we'll send you an invite.

Hope you'll join us to see what this BNI thing is all about.

🎉 A big BNI Business Networkers welcome to Peter Mackenzie — our newest Mortgage Broker in the chapter! 🏡

Peter just delivered his inaugural presentation to the group, and what a story he told. 👏
Peter's journey into mortgage broking is anything but ordinary. He spent 10 years as an electrician ⚡, moved into management, and then did something most people never do — he taught himself finance. In fact, he got so good at it that he started directing his OWN mortgage broker on how to structure his loans. 😄

Eventually the penny dropped. If he was doing the thinking anyway... why not just become the broker himself? And two and a half years ago, that's exactly what he did. 💡

But what really makes Peter tick? His Four P's. 🙌
Property. People. Petrol — self-described petrol head raised by bogans, and proud of it! 🏎️ And the Pies. Go Pies! 🥧😄

Jokes aside, beneath the personality is a mortgage broker with a genuine heart. Peter is deeply family oriented and his mission goes well beyond just processing a loan. He wants every client — especially families — to feel truly secure about their financial future. Because he knows how much stress family life already carries, and if he can take even a little of that away, it matters. 💛

Welcome to the family, Peter. We're glad you're here. 🤝

Want to meet Peter and a room full of brilliant local business owners just like him? We meet every Thursday morning at Morack Golf Course. ☀️

So how many views do you need for an effective video?
AND can you guess what the correct question should be?

Francis Yim from Fantestimonial highlighted that in reality, the right question to ask isn't the number of views or the number of comments or engagements your video gets that determine if you will get a sale, the question should be how do you get those views to separate you from your competitors and reduce friction to engaging your business, product or services.

That's where the real ROI in videos come from.

Francis is just one of the many experts in the room who are not just there to sell stuff, but to share our expertise with each other and help our businesses grow.

If you have always wondered what all the fuss of BNI is about, maybe you should take this opportunity to come see for yourself.

BNI Business Networkers meet every Thursday morning at 6:45am, at the Morack Golf Course, and we are there because we feel a bond among us, and we know we have each others backs. But most importantly we are there to refer business to each other.

If you want to experience it for yourself, DM or leave a comment below to ask for an invite, and we'll set you up.

Come for the breakfast, stay for the family and referrals.

🏠 Did you know that the person selling the property is NOT on your side?
That's not a criticism — it's just the reality of how real estate works.
A sales agent's job is to sell the property. Full stop. Whether it's the right property for YOU, in the right market, at the right price? That's not their concern.

That's where Smarth Bajaj from Huddle For Property comes in. 🙌

As a Buyer's Agent operating across Australia, Smarth's sole focus is YOU — the buyer. His job is to get you the right property, in the right market, at the right price, with the right terms.

But here's what truly sets Smarth apart. He doesn't just look at the data and find you a good property. He takes the time to deeply understand YOUR financial situation and YOUR financial goals — because the right property for one person can be completely wrong for another.

Take two of his recent clients. One wanted to reduce his tax bill through negative gearing. The strategy Smarth built for him looked completely different from the strategy he built for a woman who wanted to rapidly build equity so she could buy her dream home. Same market. Same data. Completely different approaches — because they had completely different goals. 💡

That's not just a Buyer's Agent. That's a property strategist who genuinely invests in understanding your life before he touches the data. 📈

And Smarth is just one of the brilliant professionals you'll meet at BNI Business Networkers. We're a community of business owners across multiple industries who show up every week to support each other and grow together.

Curious about whether BNI could work for YOUR business? Come along, gather the information for yourself, and see if we're the right fit. No pressure. Just breakfast, great people, and real conversations. ☀️
We meet every Thursday morning at Morack Golf Course.

Regardless of whether you are a small business or a rapidly growing one, Your Business should be working for you, not the other way round.

We all kinda know that, becasue as business owners, we didn't get into business so that we can spend more time at work, but we believe that our business will afford us our own time back. But many times that isn't always the case.

Stefan Smith, a Fractional GM, has seen too many business fall into that trap and he knows that it does not need to be. Businesses just need systems, and help to get that system in place.

And that's where the power of BNI comes in. We are a group of businesses across multiple industries and experiences all working together with one common goal, support each other, and help each other grow.

If you want to know what all this networking business is about, come join us for a breakfast and see that we are more than a systematic networking group, but one that truly feels like a family.

We meet every Thursday morning, at the Morack Golf Course, come for the breakfast, stay for the family and referrals.

🏡 Your conveyancer should know the contract. But the best ones know YOU too.
That's Fabi — our conveyancing expert here at BNI Business Networkers. 💛

Fabi doesn't just comb through the fine print of residential and commercial property contracts. She understands that for most people, buying or selling a property isn't just a transaction. It's one of the biggest, most emotional moments of their lives.

And she meets them there.

Recently, Fabi worked with a woman going through a difficult separation. Her partner spent two and a half months refusing to appoint a conveyancer — leaving her client stressed, stuck, and overwhelmed. Through all of it, Fabi listened. Gave advice where she could. And just showed up, week after week.

When it was finally over, the client left Fabi a Google review.
She called Fabi a friend.
Fabi's reaction? "I thought that was lovely as well." 💛
And to her, it's just part of her job.

That's Fabi. Sharp enough to protect you in the contract. Warm enough to hold your hand through the process.

Want to meet Fabi and a room full of brilliant local business owners just like her? We meet every Thursday morning at Morack Public Golf Course. ☀️
