friendly team kept things simple in my introduction to the business. I was told JLF had six arms, or pillars:
1 Property investment (the management of the company and John's personal investments)
2 Property developments (primarily residential subdivisions)
3 Financial services (mortgage broking, financial planning and capital raising businesses)
4 7 Steps to Wealth (the ‘self-help’ book John wrote about investing in property)
5 Custodian (the investment coaching business)
6 Toogoolawa (the not-for-profit school for disadvantaged youths).
I was told I would be working with the legal team that supported and assisted all the different divisions in relation to the company's legal, administrative and compliance requirements.
Those initial two weeks flew by. I was welcomed by everyone and shared a common bond and interest with more than half the office — AFL football! But what I enjoyed most was the casual setting of the office, the relaxed mood and the social ‘water cooler’ chats in the staff room at lunch time. It was (and still is) a happy and fun place to work.
After a fortnight, I wasn't ready to leave, so I asked John if I could stay on three days a week. John was fine with that arrangement, so I phoned the senior partner of the law firm I was working for and broke the news to him. Perhaps it was a sign that he readily accepted my resignation and told me I wouldn't have to give notice. It seemed the feeling was mutual!
