Decade review in 60 seconds…
Not a huge fan of looking backward and being grateful for what has gone, it can hold you back from progressing forward 🤔
But it’s been a very solid decade and here are some of the highlights:
Been with my wife 10 years last month and we had a kid in that time.
Traveled all over the world and continue to do so
Left a job I hate for a business I love
Became millionaires and then multimillionaires.
Have helped 250+ clients purchase investment properties
Became a 7 figure business this year.
Excited to see what the next decade has to offer.
Some things I try live by expressed in phrases:
If it is to be it’s up to me.
Nobody owes you anything in life
The most arrogant thing in the world is to think anyone cares what you are doing
The greatest risk in life is not taking risks
There is no greater risk in life than working at a job you hate until your 67
Don’t tell yourself your going to do something and then don’t do it
Getting rid of things in life is as important as adding new things
Business plans should fit on a post it
You do not need to have a large business to have a successful one
Only people with no money are impressed by people that have money, simple because they have money
Having multiple kids and a successful marriage is much more impressive than being a millionaire. But you can have both and one shouldn’t be used as a reason not to pursue the other.
If you have made it this far well done 😂
Cheers to 2026 🥂

🚨 Real Estate versus Inflation 🚨
Over the last 5 years, cumulative inflation has been around 24%
That means the purchasing power of your savings has decreased
$150,000 in 2020 has the purchasing power of around $120,000 today.
Residential dwelling values nationally have increased by 47% over the same period.
If $150,000 had of been invested in a 1 million dollar property in 2020 (10% deposit + costs) and that property grew at the national average over that period (47%). Then you would have gained nearly half a million in equity.
Note there would be some holding costs on property and there would be some interest on savings as well as several other factors.
But the larger point remains that you would be exponentially better off today if you had of invested in a high quality property that performed well versus just doing nothing with your savings.
Because of inflation, savers tend to lose out the most over time. Those that hold high quality productive assets tend to do well over time.
