In today’s Podcast I’ll be sharing 7 Pearls of Ancient Wisdom for success in property investment and life.

Let's see what we can learn from Confucius and his friends

In my motivational moment, I share some great concepts from Steve Jobs and Winston Churchill. 

There is so much we can learn from these experts that can be applied to life, success, and even investing.

I finish off this week's show with Pete Wargent who explains why we can’t depend on the Government to look after us in the future.

However, we can do smart things as a property investor to secure our own futures.

Pete Wargent discusses:

1. Australian’s are living longer, often 20 – 30 years after retirement.
2. The typical superannuation fund balance will not be sufficient for your “golden years.” 
3. Australians need to invest and build an asset base using the power of leverage, time and compound growth
4. It will take around 15 years to build a sufficient asset base for financial freedom, but possibly a further 10 years if you do what the average property investor does and invest the wrong way.
5. Consider investing in different asset classes including shares and properties
6. We all have a “natural bias” towards certain investment classes
7. The most important thing is to get started
8. Speed things up by getting the right mentors and finding a proven strategy then formulate a plan
9. Start investing when you are young because time and leverage are on your side
