What if you could sit down with someone who’s spent over 50 years investing, building wealth, making mistakes, and getting it right… and ask them what they wish they’d known about money from day one? 
Most people think building wealth is about finding the right investment or timing the market perfectly.
But after more than 50 years of investing, I can tell you that’s not what really makes the difference.
The biggest financial mistakes I’ve seen – including some of my own – didn’t come from bad markets. They came from misunderstandings about money itself.
In today's show, leading property tax expert Ken Raiss and I discuss the differences between long-term investing and speculation, and we analyse practical tips for property investment and asset management, focusing on quality assets and ownership structures.
Join us as we provide insights to help you make informed business and investment decisions in the face of market uncertainty.
