YOU might not know Brett Birkill’s clothing brand, but you’ve probably seen his wares — they’re impossible to miss.    Hundreds of thousands of Australians go to work every day wearing Prime Mover Workwear - his high-vis designs. Recently, Brett sold the company he founded on the smell of an oily rag which made him very rich.   Now Brett has turned his attention to the property.  Brett catches up with Bushy today to reveal details about that fascinating journey.   Bushy also catches up with Josh Masters who touches on a subject we should all pay close attention to.   Long-term investment decisions are based on short-term information.  The big question for me was when Bushy asks Josh to identify the tools that you and I can use to check the trends in the data to make sure they’re investing and not just speculating?

Share trading expert Louise Bedford reveals the psychology, mindset and systems behind successful investors, including how to benefit from candlestick charts. Investment markets are driven by emotional sentiment and perception, due to the ease of access and speed of action offered by instantaneous online trading platforms, so you need to be able to read the sentiment and slipstream your investing behind it. Candlestick charts are one of the best ways for you to do this, providing simple visual tools that allow you to read and predict future movements. Wherever your skills lie on the trading scale from beginner to advanced, the candlestick offers the promise of enhancing your profit potential. And Louise is the reigning Queen of candlesticks and is a best-selling author of five books on the share market.  She’s a behavioural finance expert and has degrees in Psychology and Business. And Louise has been running her six month repeat-for free Mentor Program via www.tradinggame.com.au  since 2000, and she’s also the founder of www.talkingtrading.com.au, a free weekly trading podcast that I’ve been lucky enough to be a guest on so make sure you check it out.  Now Louise is also known as ‘the corporate executive who lost the use of her arms and achieved financial freedom by trading with a pen in her mouth’ as you’ll hear during our great chat today. Louise will inspire you to achieve your investing and trading best. When she’s not hanging out mentoring her traders, she’s spending time with her two children and husband, lifting weights at the gym, and enjoying yoga … and trying to get a glimpse of her own reflection on the back of her business partner, Chris Tate’s, bald head! If you haven’t had a chance to listen to Chris’ entertaining equities investment insights, make sure you have a listen to past Get Invested episodes 115 & 124. And in our great conversation today, Louise enlightens you on: The role that psychology and mindset play in trading and investing success The importance of candlestick charts to trading and investing The criticality of personal trading plans and systems to your investment success The biggest mistakes that equities investors and traders make The keys for successfully investing in and trading equities How an investor should decide what to buy and when to sell How you can build the best portfolio to suit your needs Along with much, much more. Unlike most other trainers who teach theory and “what should be”, Louise and Chris are amongst the few who truly understand what does and what doesn’t work in the sharemarket. So If you’ve been thinking about investing in the equities markets or you’re seriously after a gigantic financial breakthrough in your share trading results, jump on www.tradinggame.com.au to get copies of Louise and Chris’ books, and while you’re there, register for priority notification of their next very successful restricted numbers, repeat for free Mentor Program. And to kick things off to vastly improve your investment results, Louise is generously giving you free access to their proven leading edge investment Trading Plan template.  And to get you motivated, I’m going to reward you with a challenge.  Just download the plan template from tradinggame.com.au by registering for their free trading pack, then just fill it in and email it back to me at bushy@knowhowproperty.com.au, and I’ll gift you a free copy of my award winning book Get Invested. As Louise has always said, Your goal is to trade like a machine, safely and confidently, never doubting yourself, with no ego. To achieve this goal, make sure you surround yourself with people who believe in you.  It’s one of the key differences between traders who excel and those who never achieve the results they yearn for. Now I need to stress that I receive no financial benefit for suggesting the Trading Game or any other company, and I mention them purely on the strength of my personal experience and the proven quality of their services.

Seasoned property investors know to keep their finger on the pulse of the market, the first place to turn is Herron Todd White’s monthly property clock.   Bushy checks the time with HTW’s Kevin Brogan and it is good news for the residential market.   Who thought when the pandemic hit Australia 18 months ago, we’d all still be dealing with Covid’s uncertainty and fallout. Many Australians are suffering ‘behavioral fatigue’, so what impact is this having on property?   Bushy Martin discusses that with Lachlan Vidler from The Atlas Group Buyers Agents.  The bank of mum and dad is now the 5th most popular lender, with many first home buyers getting increasingly frustrated with the rapid rise in home values leaving them falling short. Marcus Roberts from Brighter Finance has some insights and words of warning. If you’ve bought an underperforming property, then now may actually be a good time to sell it.   Bushy explains why as he wraps up this week's show.

You might be hearing a lot of reasons against buying an investment property in Australia right now. In my personal experience along with the thousands of investors I’ve supported over the years, the best time to invest is every time you can afford to! The worst thing you can do is wait and do nothing, as time is your best friend as well as your biggest enemy. The quicker you secure your asset base, the more time you have for capital growth to work its magic. Now this doesn’t mean leaping in and buying the first property you come across, but it does mean engaging your independent professional property team to identify the best property in the best location within your budget and making it happen. And one of the best independent professionals to help you with this is today’s returning guest and buyer’s agent Goose McGrath from Dashdot and host of the Investorlab podcast. If you haven’t listened to Goose’s Get Invested episodes, make sure you have a listen to episodes 163 & 164. So today, given the deluge of paralysing negativity that we keep hearing in the mainstream media fear factories, I thought we’d do a deep dive into all of the main reasons that we keep hearing, on why you shouldn’t buy an investment property right now, along with a bunch of reasons why you should, so that you can make better fully informed decisions on what is really in your best interests.  Now I warn you that this is a mainly visual presentation supported with a swag of graphs and diagrams that really reinforce the key insights, so feel free to watch the video https://youtu.be/Kq4V-Pp0Vfc and subscribe to my Youtube channel. And if this engaging discussion motivates you to get invested, then come and join me to go to the next level in your property investment.  No matter where you’re at, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned investor that is struggling with your portfolio, I’d like to invite you to join me live and interactive on our unique KnowHow Property Freedom Flight program, where I’ll personally guide you through my proven process for property investment success.  To book your ticket or find out more, click here.
