Cash
Flow Programs Pty Ltd started as an idea in January 1999, with founders
Kim and Sandra Willis running ‘Cash Flow’ nights - playing
the board game ‘Cashflow’ with friends. These Cash Flow evenings
grew to the point where up to 10 tables of players were playing the
game at any one time
In response
to many requests for more detailed ‘how-to’ strategies, workshop
formats were developed. These evolved into courses, the first one being
the Million Dollar Habits Course. Other courses have been developed
ranging from property courses to basic money skill courses.
In July 2000,
Cash Flow Programs was incorporated and became Cash Flow Programs Pty
Ltd.
Because of
the growth of the membership base, in October 2000 the company acquired
a new office/seminar facility in Grange, Brisbane. In early 2007 they reloacted to Lutwyche rd, Lutwyche.
Profile of Kim and Sandra Willis
After failing
at business in 1982, Kim and Sandra Willis departed for the UK taking up
a job offer from a business associate. Their initial period in the UK
was very difficult as the job they were offered didn't work out. After
that they were penniless and were forced onto the dole for 9 months -
unable even to pay the rent on the single rented room they were living
in.
After a time
Kim was offered a job as a mortgage broker, with Sandra joining him
later. Within 12 months they had struck out on their own, which was the
turning point for them. They made a lot of money, investing the bulk of
their money in real estate.
They returned
to Australia in 1988 in semi-retirement mode.
Apart from
having a significant shareholding in Cash Flow Programs Pty Ltd (and
indirectly in Cash Flow Properties Pty Ltd), they also control equity
stakes (both in Australia and internationally) in a variety of private
ventures - unlisted private companies - from Internet companies to
marketing businesses. The only shares they own in a public company, is
in an Australian environmental company.
Their primary
financial goals are to:
- Grow their net worth to $10m
- Earn $1 million a year, of which at least half is passive.
Their primary
personal/lifestyle goal is to live in their beloved south of France for
part of each year, whilst tripping around to jazz festivals in Europe
and North America.
Kim and Sandra are not gurus - just ordinary people looking to improve themselves and help other people do likewise.
Cash Flow Properties Pty Ltd
A few years
ago, Kim and Sandra rekindled their interest in real estate, hence the establishment of Cash
Flow Properties Pty Ltd, a company specifically focused on wheeling and
dealing in the 'Creative Deal Making' arena. After completing a
significant number of Vendor Finance, Rent Buy and Quick Cash deals in 2001, this company
has spent the last couple of years refining and perfecting these
strategies. The company now works in partnership with
selected investors and students, assembling four to six creative cash flow deals a
month. Total expected value of properties purchased for 2004 will
be in excess of $10,000,000.
