In today’s episode of the Michael Yardney podcast, I explore the power of positivity in wealth creation together with Tom Corley, the co-author of my international best-selling book, Rich Habits, Poor Habits.
We’ll be dissecting Tom’s blog post "Don't Let Others Infect You With Their Negativity," and discussing how a positive mindset is about more than just feeling good – it’s an important factor in successfully investing in property and building wealth.
We’ll also talk about how you can apply Tom’s principles to your own property investment and wealth journey.

How does the power of positive thinking shape your financial destiny?
What is the connection between health, wealth, and optimism?
Today, Tom and I discuss these topics and touch on strategies to maintain a positive outlook in the face of adversity and negativity.
