I'm often asked what I would do differently if I could live my investing journey all over again.
I've certainly made my fair share of mistakes along the way and paid huge "learning fees" because of them. However, instead of being defeated, I learned from each error and moved forward a little bit wiser.
If you ask me that’s one of the keys to investment success - the ability to pick yourself up from setbacks, learn what you can from them (including your own limitations) and simply try again.
So, to help prevent you from making the same mistakes, in today’s show Brett Warren, National Director of Property at Metropole and I are going to chat about some of the things I wish I knew when I first started investing.
Takeaways
- Setting clear goals is essential for success in property investment.
- Buying in the right location is not negotiable
- Building a supportive team can enhance investment success.
- A wealthy mindset and abundance thinking are traits of successful investors
- Delayed gratification is critical to long-term wealth.
- Overcoming fear is necessary for making investment decisions.
- Learning from your failures can lead to future success.
- Compounding and leverage are powerful tools in property investment.
- Ignoring media noise helps you maintain focus on long-term goals.
- Balancing cash flow and capital growth is vital for financial stability.
- Gratitude is important as is giving back to the community
