For many students who join Teach Me About Property (TMAP), the journey starts with pure momentum. It’s game on from day one. They commit, they show up, and they make big moves. But what happens after the first win? Some vanish… then return. Let’s break it down — and introduce a better way forward.
The Typical TMAP Student Cycle
100% Effort to Get on the Property Ladder
When students first join TMAP, they come in all guns blazing. That 100% effort looks like this:
- Attending every session
- Applying every strategy
- Cutting back on spending
- Boosting their savings
- Hitting financial goals every week
That hustle gets them to the top of the mountain — they get the keys to their first property, the doormat, the celebration photo… success!
Then Comes the Vanish Phase
Once the property is secured, something interesting happens. Students disappear.
Here’s what that phase often looks like:
- Spending goes up
- Savings drop
- Sacrifice is out the window
- Focus shifts away from wealth building
Then… months (sometimes years) later, they reappear, ready to get back into the game. But what if that didn’t need to happen?
The Better Cycle: One You Can Fall in Love With
Over the years, the TMAP team has worked with students to design a more sustainable approach. One that balances property wins with personal fulfilment — and keeps momentum going.
Here’s how it works:
- You join with 100% effort
- You hit the top of the mountain — your first property
- You celebrate — and then deliberately switch gears
Instead of disappearing, you step into lifestyle mode.
What Is Lifestyle Mode?
For most TMAP students, lifestyle mode means one of two things:
- Travel: Many students dream of taking a break, seeing the world, or ticking a few bucket list destinations off their list.
- Nesting: Others want to turn their new house into a home — upgrading furniture, making the space feel special, and creating their own sanctuary.
Whatever lifestyle means to you, it’s okay to enjoy it. In fact, it’s part of the plan.
Then It’s Back to Property
After around 12 months of lifestyle mode, it’s time to refocus. Back to building wealth. Back to real estate strategy.
The goal?
Lifestyle → Property → Lifestyle → Property… on repeat.
This rhythm creates a cycle that’s not just effective — it’s enjoyable. And more importantly, it’s sustainable.
The Cycle of Wealth You’ll Actually Enjoy
Forget burnout. Forget falling off the radar for years.
The new TMAP Student Cycle is about progress with purpose:
- You grow your portfolio.
- You enjoy the fruits of your work.
- You reset.
- You grow again.
It’s a life and wealth strategy that you can repeat for decades — and actually fall in love with.
