Seachangers Move In, Residents Out

THERE are lies, damned lies and then there are statistics, as the old saying goes, and this may pertain to Australia's most popular sea-change destinations, such as Port Douglas, which are actually shedding full-time residents. Despite regular complaints that coastal areas are bursting at the seams, the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Urban Centre and Locality figures show many actually lost full-time residents between the 2001 and 2006 censuses.

I was aware of Owen’s work dealing with small business and his very popular book Retire Bizzi. It was therefore only natural that Jill and Owen should be approached to facilitate the workshop.

The occasion was highly successful. Jill and Owen provided constructive and pertinent advice

The workshop was quite thorough with Jill and Owen immediately gaining full attention as they delivered their information. It was timely, well planned, sequential, practical and illustrated with examples. Combined, these features gave us an excellent workshop which justified my decision to conduct such a workshop.

There have been requests to have another workshop for those unable to attend the first one. I have no hesitation in recommending Jill and Owen to conduct such workshops.

'Every year, the team at SPP run an event for our clients to encourage them to think about some of the non-financial aspects of retirement planning. This year we asked Jill to present a session on ‘Pursuing Your Passions’ and the feedback from our clients was overwhelmingly positive. What was an added bonus was that we also decided to run the same presentation for the public and managed to attract over 200 potential prospects to our business. I would recommend Jill to any firm wanting to promote the importance of lifestyle considerations in retirement in a relaxed and entertaining format’.

good gauge of the audience response was that at the end of the night,
everyone stayed back to talk with Jill and find out more about her books,
her travels, and the many retirement success stories she has documented'.
