Chances are, you've lived in a flat at some point in your life–but have you ever considered owning one? There's a lot more to it than you might imagine, even if you have experience with house ownership. So much more, in fact, that I most often recommend against investing in them.

Jargon will give you literacy about the techniques and strategies that I've mentioned before, as well as a whole diverse range of additional investi...

I don't know about you, but I usually learn best by hearing other people's stories. Something about it lets me connect my own experience to the storyteller's and work out in my mind how to apply lessons to my own life. Today is property story time, where I will break down my first property purchases, and how I worked out a strategy and chose techniques to generate wealth from property. I am hoping...

We often talk about having a strategy for building wealth. We say it all the time – "build a strategy," "adjust your strategy," but what does this mean? How does it differ from a concept like "technique?" I am going to get down to the granular level this week to teach you how an overall strategy is comprised of techniques that must be consciously and intentionally chosen.   Bring your curiosity ab...

Men – don't click away! This episode is for women, but also for their families, friends and partners of any gender.

Episode 45: Everyone knows you're faking it   Why? Because they're faking it as well. I'm not talking about "faking it 'til you make it."

There are behaviours and ways of thinking that actually demonstrably make use wea...
