Despite the busyness of life, at some stage you are going to need to make the time and take the time to invest in yourself. And today’s conversation with Stuart Wemyss, spread across this and the next episode, will give you the inspiration and the information to start making it happen. Because, as Stuart has made famous, it’s the start that stops most people. One of the great privileges of hosting this podcast is that I get to connect with all of the people I have respected and admired over the years, and in this regard today’s guest Stuart Weymss is another of my virtual mentors.  In many ways Stuart  is another one of my Siamese twins from another mother because we both think and act the same in relation to investing in yourself and living by design, along with adopting a holistic integrated approach where investing is an elite team sport and a game of finance. In his words, he also ‘eats his own cooking’ in terms of personally investing in the same way he advises his clients.   Stuart is a qualified chartered accountant, independent financial advisor and mortgage broker – a rare combination that enables him to deliver truly holistic advice that considers all aspects and impacts of investment options. Stuart has always passionately believed in the need for people to be able to access a trustworthy source of independent financial advice.  Stuart is the author of The Property Puzzle, Investopoly and Rules Of The Lending Game. Nothing upsets us more than to hear about selfish advisors ripping off their unsuspecting clients! And this passion is what drives him to write books and blogs, publish podcasts, appear in the media, advise his clients, mentor his staff and give presentations – whatever it takes to help more people access a source of unbiased information and advice.  And If you’d like to hear more from Stuart after enjoying this and next week’s episode, you can subscribe to his blog and podcast at www.investopoly.com.au. So after listening to today’s episode, if you’d like to enjoy all of the detailed gold that Stuart shares in his latest two books, he has very generously offered you a special reduced price.  His books normally retail for $29.95 + $6.50 postage at a total cost of $36.45.

All the traits and behaviours of the most successful people who live by design can be learned and inculcated – it is just about mirroring these people and developing your own set of happy habits and rewarding rituals. And a great place to start is by mirroring the approach of today’s guest Jim Smith. Jim has successfully set up his life so that he is now devoting his time to building Focus Tours. Focus Tours is a fusion of Nepali and Laos charm combined with Australian focus on detail, creating a truly unique and personal experience for travellers looking to enjoy trekking, sightseeing, volunteering and unwinding. If you’re looking to travel to Nepal or Laos and really enjoy the local culture then check it out at www.focustours.com.au.   You’ll love Jim’s down to earth genuine, generous and very caring approach to helping others in everything he’s done and continues to do. Jim lives a very fulfilled life of freedom where he combines his love of travel with the ability to teach others and help others less fortunate. And he’s done this because he’s lived his entire life by design and with intent – you’ll hear how he’s always been very clear about what he did and didn’t want to do with his life. He’s had the courage to try and do completely new things and make major changes without apparent fear.  And he’s achieved all of this by making his money, living below his means, and saving and investing it in property in a way that now funds and supports his ideal lifestyle. Now as you enjoy his entertaining journey, don’t only learn from what he’s done and how he’s done it, but listen out for where he demonstrates the seven lifestyle wealth building characteristics of confidence, frugality, responsibility, social indifference, focus,  planning and delayed gratification, so that you can start learning these traits as essential to your future success.

Anything you decide to invest in, and the way you invest in it, needs to satisfy this criteria: it must be simple and easy, time-effective, low-cost and high-growth – meaning you just need to pick investment vehicles that tick these boxes and the job’s done! In this regard, Jason McIntosh’s Motion Trader service is a perfect fit as the medium term nature of his investment trading system lets winning trades run for one to two years on average. This is a low touch, high traction approach. The beauty of Jason’s Motion Trader approach is that his algorithms do all of the homework and research for you, and because the work is technically based, the trading rules remove our subjective emotional judgement and reactivity - which, as you’ve heard, is the cause of most investment underperformance. But of course there’s much more to investing than just buying and selling stocks. The technical trading algorithms need to be aligned with your mental algorithm behaviour rules and your evolved AI, ancient intelligence automated survival responses. We cover off on many of these today, including: When you make money in shares What rules you need to consider to invest successfully Why a medium term investment system may suit you better How you can determine your share trade size to ensure you remain in the game And why having a sell strategy is very important And If you’re interested in learning more about Jason’s ‘Five Secrets of the World’s Best Traders’ Motion Trader has kindly given you free access to an exclusive report, so if you’d like an electronic copy, just email me at bushy@khgroup.com.au and we’ll get it to you.

Jason McIntosh is the creator of Motion Trader — an online advisory service for retail investors and SMSFs. His career began in 1991 on the trading floor at Bankers Trust where he got to work with some of the best investment traders in the world. He gave up the hustle and bustle of the CBD in 2007. Nowadays he manages his family's investments from his home in Sydney because at the end of the day investment should be all about lifestyle. And what Jason enjoys most is teaching every day hard working Aussies to invest like the pros. He loves helping struggling investors to become successful. And if you're ready, he’d love to help you too. In technical terms, Jason is a share market algorithm investor. He’s developed a proven, profitable and robust share investing system that has personally returned his investment portfolio over 10-12% per annum, as you’ll hear during our discussion. Jason’s Motion Trader is a medium term trend following strategy. The aim is to use proven algorithms to identify stocks which meet the entry criteria. It’s then a case of letting profitable investments run, and cutting losing ones relatively early. Winning trades often last for around a year (some last several years), whereas losing trades typically last a few months (but some exit within days).   And the good news is that he now helps you remove yourself and your self-sabotaging ways from your investing through his service, incorporating all of the good habit forming system principles we cover about today. Jason doesn’t talk about success rates, he talks about the probability and profitability of your trading system – systems where you can have more losers than winners and still end up making money. How? Because your many losses are small compared to the much bigger size of your few wins. It’s how I had 60% losing trades but was still profitable. It all relies on a good investing system with a proven set of predetermined rules for entering and exiting share purchases that follows trend patterns. And the beauty of Jason’s Motion Trader approach is that his algorithms do all of the homework and research for you, and because the work is technically based, the trading rules remove our subjective emotional judgement and reactivity - which is the cause of most investment underperformance. I’ve always said that investment is all about the numbers and I don’t even need to see the property or know anything about the company I’m buying shares in, in fact I prefer not to because I then start getting emotionally attached - which can result in poor judgement and bad decisions. And in line with this thinking, Motion Trader’s algorithm analysis along with his email potential trade notification service means you don’t need to do the homework, you just need to follow his signals.   Jason says that people often say that successful trading is all about secrets. They believe the best traders have special knowledge that regular people can’t access. But do you know what? In his opinion, there are no ‘secrets’. The strategies the best traders use are nothing new. They’re mostly variations of the same winning tactics that have been in use for decades, if not centuries. Many traders make the mistake of focusing on one thing: when to buy. And yes, entries are important. But they’re just one cog in the machine. The difference between success and failure are the rest of the cogs, although many people lose money long before figuring this out.   So how do some of the best traders make millions? In Jason’s opinion, it essentially comes down to five rules: Trade with the trend Have many relatively small trades Get good at quitting Be slow to take profits Give winners room to move If you’re interested in learning more about the details of these secrets, Jason and Motion Trader have kindly given you free access to his exclusive report ‘Five Secrets of the World’s Best Traders’ so if you’d like an electronic copy, just email me at bushy@khgroup.com.au and we’ll get it to you.

The book provides you with simple practical tools to get the most out of the money you have. It helps you develop an understanding of what really matters to you and gives you an easy-to-follow, eight-step plan to help you achieve it.

A lot of people are operating on defunct money myths that are misleading at best and destructive at worst. Myths that appear to make sense at first glance but have often passed their expiry date. This is where today’s guest Vince Scully comes in to help you clear the money myths. Vince is a veteran Financial Adviser, Author and Financial Wellness Advocate and the founder of Life Sherpa – an online platform that helps you make money and investing accessible and affordable.  He helps you to master the art of living the life you want with the money you have. Many myths sound credible but are dangerous to your wealth and happiness. Some of these myths include: “Money doesn’t buy happiness” “Rent money is dead money” “Two incomes are better than one” “You need a lot of money to start investing” And the biggest myth of all … “Cutting out your morning latte will make you rich.” This has prompted Vince to author his great book ‘The Latte fallacy and Other Money Myths.’ It addresses the commonly held, but incorrect view, that giving up your morning coffee can make you rich.  The premise of this approach is that a lot of little expenses over time add up to very large sums of money. So all you have to do is cut out your morning latte and hey presto you’re wealthy – right? Wrong! This great book debunks all of these misleading myths and gives you the tools that will actually make a real difference in your life. Over the many years Vince has worked in finance, he’s discovered that successfully navigating the world of money is not about having the best plan or choosing the best investment or even earning the most money. Neither is it about scrimping and saving. He has realised that the less time we spend planning how to get the most from our money, the more time we spend worrying about it. What makes the difference is truly understanding what you want and spending your money in a way that gets you closer to achieving it.  If you’d like to win an ebook copy of Vince’s book, just email me at bushy@knowhowproperty.com.au with the word Get Invested in the subject header and then tell us the one luxury that you refuse to give up … and Vince will award a free book to the best entry. Runners up will all receive a free ebook copy of my award winning book ‘Get Invested’. And Vince has shared so much gold from his book and his unique Life Sherpa approach in our deep dive conversation that I’ve split it into two value packed episodes. In today’s first part he answers your burning questions and gives you clarity on: How to set smarter goals The benefits of diversification Why asset allocation is important He paints out the 8 steps to financial freedom And concludes with his 10 commandments of money So if you want to know how to live the life you want with the money you have, sit back and enjoy this very informative chat with Vince Scully.

What's a quick and easy way to overcome your money fears and to start embracing money as your friend rather than your enemy? This is where today’s guest Julia Newbould and her new book ‘The Joy of Money’ comes to your rescue.  I’m betting that not many of you associate feelings of joy with money. But this is exactly what Julia and her co-author of Kate McCullum have discovered in this fun, entertaining, educating and engaging easy read. Julia is a financial writer and commentator with a strong background in financial journalism. She’s currently the Editor at large with Money Magazine, which is Australia's longest-running and most-read personal finance magazine. Prior to this she was editor of Financial Planning and Super Review magazines, managing editor at InvestorInfo and at Morningstar Australia which has all leveraged off her Bachelor of Economics.  Her co-authored book The Joy of Money helps you reframe your relationship with money and personal finance by deliberately de-jargonising the often confusing world of money, investing and finance. As she says in the opening of the book, ‘We don’t believe in jargon. We believe that it has been used in finance circles to exclude people, and while the terms may be complex the concepts are not. We have removed unnecessary jargon and explained key concepts in practical ways.’ As The Joy of Money challenges you: Whatever you do, continue to take an interest in your finances. You need money to be financially independent, and you need financial independence to have choices in your life and for your goals. There's no need to feel guilty about the past – it's the past. Whether we've got all the super we should have had, or whether we've sacrificed savings for shoes, or if we lost money in bad investments, or a bad relationships, let's agree we start here today. We are where we are and regrets won’t help. Let's agree to look ahead and see what we can do right now. So if you’re looking to improve your knowledge so you can take control of your money to create your version of financial independence, then you’re really going to enjoy this great chat with Julia Newbould.
