Key takeaways
Wealth is built by the quality of decisions you make at key moments.
And 2026 is likely to be a pivotal year in property when generational wealth is created.
It will be a reset year. And resets are where fortunes are made.
Join us at Wealth Retreat 2026 - a five-day private strategy retreat, kept deliberately small, deliberately immersive, and designed for people who are already successful, but know they’re capable of much more.
The real breakthroughs don’t just happen in the sessions.
They happen over breakfast. Over dinner. In late-night conversations with people who think strategically, act decisively, and operate at a high level.
Over the last 50 years, I’ve seen property cycles come and go, markets rise and reset, and fortunes quietly made by those who acted decisively at the right moments.
Most people think wealth is about finding the right property…or the right strategy…or the right timing.
It isn’t.
After five decades of investing, advising, and watching markets rise and fall, I can tell you this with absolute certainty:
Wealth is built by the quality of decisions you make at key moments.
And 2026 is one of those moments.
I’d like to personally invite you to join me and a small group of Australia’s most successful investors, business owners, and professionals at Wealth Retreat 2026, our special 20th anniversary edition.
The next few years will look very different from the last few.
Interest rates, demographics, government policy, household formation, and economic uncertainty are all reshaping our property markets and business environment.
Note: This isn’t a crisis - it’s a reset. And resets are where fortunes are made.
Some people will use this period to reposition, restructure, and create generational wealth.
Others will stay busy, stay reactive, and wonder why they didn’t move sooner.
Wealth Retreat exists for people who don’t want to leave their future to chance.
Wealth Retreat is not a property seminar.
It’s a five-day private strategy retreat, deliberately small, deliberately immersive, and designed for people who are already successful, but know they’re capable of much more.
You arrive on Friday evening with ideas, questions, maybe even frustration.
You leave on Wednesday with clarity, confidence, and a cohesive, actionable plan that integrates your property portfolio, business interests, tax structures, asset protection, and long-term goals.
Very few people ever stop long enough to design their future properly.
This is your chance to do exactly that.
Over five intensive days, you’ll be surrounded by a carefully curated group of experts from my personal network.
You’ll be learning directly from:
- Michael Yardney – five decades of property investment experience and the mindset behind sustained success
- Ken Raiss – Director of Metropole Wealth Advisory, specialising in tax, structuring, and estate planning
- Brett Warren – National Director of Property at Metropole, teaching advanced research and investment strategy
- Simon Kuestenmacher – Australia’s leading demographer, sharing insights on the forces shaping property and society
- Greg Hankinson – expert in manufacturing capital growth through property development
- Mark Creedon – business coach to elite entrepreneurs, focused on efficiency and scalable growth
- Dorian Traill – over 20 years’ experience as a finance strategist with Metropole
- Leanne Jopson – advanced property management strategies for serious investors
and there will be a heap more property, development, tax and finance experts there.

But here’s what surprises most people.
The real breakthroughs don’t just happen in the sessions.
They happen over breakfast. Over dinner. In late-night conversations with people who think strategically, act decisively, and operate at a high level.
These are not surface-level connections. They are relationships that continue long after the retreat ends.
I’ve seen firsthand what can come from one idea, one insight, or one conversation at Wealth Retreat.
- One attendee implemented a single tax strategy and saved over $200,000.
- Another told me a 90-minute session on time management alone gave him back an extra day every week - a compounding advantage that changed his business and personal life.
I’ve personally formed joint ventures at Wealth Retreat that are still paying dividends years later.
It may surprise you to know that around one-third of attendees return for a second, third or fourth time.
Not because they missed something the first time, but because the world changes, and their strategy needs to evolve with it.
Wealth Retreat isn’t for everyone.
It’s five intensive days. It requires focus, commitment, and a willingness to think bigger.
And yes, it’s a meaningful investment.
But in 20 years, no one has ever asked for a refund.
Most people tell me they’ve received enough value in the first day alone to justify the entire experience.
This retreat is for people who are serious about creating, protecting, and ultimately passing on wealth.
That’s also why you can’t simply book online.
Before anyone is accepted, we have a personal conversation to ensure Wealth Retreat is genuinely the right fit. We also strictly limit numbers to maintain depth, access, and personalised attention.
We host Wealth Retreat at the Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast.
It’s an exceptional environment, and while it may feel like a holiday for your family, for you it’s five focused days working on your future.
As my mentor Jim Rohn once said:
“The longer you take to make a decision, the less likely you are to make one.”
If you’re ready to step back, think strategically, and design the next chapter of your wealth journey, go to WealthRetreat.com.au, register your interest, and let’s have a conversation.
I look forward to spending five powerful days together and helping you create a future by design, not by default.
