In today’s show I’d like to remind you of some of the foundational principles I use to grow my wealth.

I’ll discuss things that "always worked" rather than things that are working now.

Now to be clear… this is very different from most of what you hear in the news, which basically focuses on short-term investment trends. You know... those headlines that we’ve been seeing so much of recently - the top 10 areas to invest in 2025, the top 5 lessons from 2024, what’s ahead for interest rates or where’s the next hotspot.

I also discuss the difference between expectations and forecasts and provide insights into the current market dynamics and future outlook for property investment to give you some clarity in the chaos of the many mixed messages in the media.

Takeaways
