Get Invested: Peter Meek on investment abdication vs education

Accomplished CEO Peter Meek has rebuilt his wealth after losing it all in the Global Financial Crisis. He shares critical investment and life lessons.

How much do you focus on your work and how much do you understand & actively manage your investments?

Many of us start out thinking that if we just invest everything in our work and careers and become successful in this one single area of our lives, then everything else will just fall into place and fortune and fame will follow. Just work hard, become good at what you do and everything else will take care of itself.

Blind faith and disinterested trust is a dangerous combination when it comes to securing your future.

As I repeatedly say in my book The Freedom Formula, I can’t emphasise enough how important it is to invest in your investment knowledge so that you understand where you or others are investing your hard earned coin so you understand the risks as well as the rewards, and then you need to actively manage your managers to keep them accountable, because at the end of the day, the buck stops with you.

And someone who understands these lessons intimately is today’s special guest Peter Meek. As you're about to hear, Peters a highly accomplished CEO and Company Director who lost all of his wealth during the GFC and has successfully rebuilt it, by becoming an active self accountable international investor across multiple asset classes.

Enjoy his incredible story and key lessons learned.
