‘Don’t just think it, do it’

Motivation can be the starting pistol to your investment journey, but this investor believes that discipline can take you further than you think you’re capable of. In this episode, Momentum Media director Alex Whitlock sits down with Timothy Brown to unpack how he started his investment journey while serving in the military and why having a disciplined approach — along with a shift in mindset — can help pave the way for an easier and smooth sailing jump into the property ladder. Now with a portfolio spanning seven properties and a total valuation of around $2.5 million, the Melbourne-based investor shares how he laid out a solid financial bedrock to scale his portfolio before touching on what direction he plans to take next in his quest for financial freedom. And while Timothy is a big champion of taking risks who largely operates with a “just do it” mentality, he also underlines the importance of analysing opportunity costs, talks about why one’s strategy must always be aligned with long-term financial goals and explains why taking risks should be done hand in hand with due diligence.
