In uncertain times it is important to remain calm, separate facts from fear and fiction, make clear committed choices and take action – not wait for something to happen. And today’s guest is a great example of exactly this thinking and approach during times of threat. Rob Newman has stared death squarely in the eye in life threatening situations and near death experiences on a number of occasions and lived to tell the tale and go on to survive and thrive.  Today you will find out exactly what happened, how he did it and the lessons he learned that you can apply to help you tackle challenging times and make good committed choices - not knee jerk decisions.  Like me, Rob is a boy from the bush who has made it in the big smoke. His early passions took him around the world in motorsport including being part of the Australian Formula 1 team, competing at Bathurst and being part of a winning team that took out the Australian Grand Prix. After hanging up his race helmet, Rob has turned his passion to property and for the last 30 years - his company Blackford’s Property has specialised in helping investors. In recent times his unique buyers agency approach now also assists first home buyers and their parents as well as up and downsizers and custom builds. After recovering from his last sudden unexpected life threatening incident, Rob’s road to recovery has developed into a passion for overall fitness, mind and body.  On the physical side yoga, walking, pilates, cycling and swimming are all regular activities and on the mental front a never-ending diet of self-development including meditation and working with mentors who continue to bring out the best in him. Never resting on his laurels and always challenging himself, he has taken his long term interest in comedy and public speaking to the next level and  performed at the recent Adelaide Fringe, and he’s been selected to perform at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. His passion for life is infectious and you’re really going to learn some great lessons and enjoy this great conversation with Rob Newman.

Maybe you have been thinking about investing in property for years but there has always been something or some reason why you have never quite stepped through the sliding door and onto property train. This has been exactly the case with today’s guest Sam Buckby, who explains why he has almost invested in property over 20 times over the last decade or so. Sam’s a great bloke, an author, podcaster, speaker, consultant, electrical expert and guru at using intelligent design to create a more simple life. Sam is the owner and founder of Buckby Electrical, the creative mind behind Smarter Buildings and host of his hot new podcast Spaces. He has over 20 years experience in electrical contracting, functional design and the built environment. Sam also manages a highly successful contracting business that has shown growth every year since inception and has even appeared on the hit house renovation TV show, The Block. Through his whole working life, he’s seen the evolution of technology become part of our everyday lives but wants to see our built environment evolve so that advanced functionality isn’t just simple, but the norm. Sam’s the expert when it comes to designing the functionality of state-of-the-art buildings and has written a book on the topic called Homes with a Heartbeat. But what I like most about Sam is that he puts life’s big rocks of family, friends, fitness and health first and the rest of life fits in the gaps – he lives a great lifestyle of his own design.  So if you’re like Sam and have been thinking about investing for ages but have never quite got around to it, today could be your sliding door moment – so I challenge you to reach out to me at bushy@khgroup.com.au with the header ‘Sliding Door Moment’ and join me on our Freedom Flight video webinar education series so you have all of the information you need to make a fully informed sliding door decision.

What’s your relationship with money? Is money your friend or your foe? How much do you focus on spending versus saving? On your income versus your investments? On your work versus your wealth? How proactive are you in managing your money? My old man Bushy Senior always used to say that it isn’t what you earn its what you spend that counts. So how sticky are you with money? How quickly does it slip through your fingers? How difficult do you find it to save money and set it aside when you are inundated with one cost after another with expenses always increasing? What if there was a way to automate your money management that creates a saving system by remote control without you having to do anything or worry about it once it’s set up? Would this make your life easier and reduce your stress and worry about the future? Would you be interested in learning more? If so, you are in luck as today we’re re-releasing my interview with Josh Blakeley on his popular Master Your Money Show where I outline the kick ASS Money Management system that I detail in my book The Freedom Formula, as a foundational starting point to anyone who is looking to build wealth by stealth. In our engaging discussion, I also share my views on: Where you should start The importance of the right money mindset and what your money mindset needs to looks like if you are going to achieve sustainable success Becoming passive aggressive and what this means The criticality of having a rainy day war chest How you can grow your parallel savings shadow  How I earned my first dollar and where this led to I’m also interested to hear your best saving techniques, so email me at bushy@khgroup.com.au and the best and most innovative approach will win a copy of my book Get Invested.

Just about everyone in Australia is an ‘expert’ on property. It doesn’t matter whether you’re at the pub, a BBQ on the weekend, the hairdressers or at work, someone is always happy to share their opinion. The funniest thing about all of this is that those with the strongest opinions and who talk loudest about property investments often don’t own any (or not for long).  As a wise person once said, ‘talk is cheap because it’s the only thing broke people can afford’.  The legitimacy litmus test on investment for me has always been about what you have actually done, not how much you talk about it. Unless your family and friends are active investors, don’t ask them. Even Jesus’ early friends didn’t believe he was the Messiah.  You need to seek out other like-minded, successful investors who have done what you are looking to do and learn from them. And if there is one person in the country that best fits the bill for independent objective and quality advice that you can trust it is Kevin Turner. Kevin is a regular here on Get Invested for the very reason that his humble insights are always worth listening to and he is just a great bloke who is always generous with his time – if you want to learn more about Kevin, have a listen to the indepth chat I enjoyed with him here on Episode 7. As the host of the most popular property shows and podcasts in the country, including Real Estate Talk, RE Uncut and Property TV, Kevin gets to see and hear from everyone in the industry, and as an active property investor himself, his broad spectrum of exposure at the crossroads of all things property and finance means that his thoughts are always well informed and as an industry facilitator, he has no barrow to push. So if you are looking for current educated advice on what is likely to happen in property in Australia this year and what you should be doing about it, then enjoy Kevin’s annual outlook on the influences and the impacts.

I want to open your eyes to the importance of managing risk and uncertainty when you’re a property investor. Specialised landlord insurance is one of the best ways to do that, and there is no better person to talk you through this than our guest Sharon Fox-Slater. Sharon has worked in the industry for more than 30 years and is well equipped and passionate about delivering insurance solutions and outstanding service that better protects your investments and income. Sharon joined EBM back in 1993 and was part of the core team that helped launch one of Australia’s first specialised landlord insurance policies into the market. Since then, she has worked tirelessly to transform EBM RentCover from a small start-up into a national operation of more than 100 employees who work hard to educate property professionals and protect more than 150,000 property owners. We can say from personal experience that at the heart of Sharon’s business is a team of amazing specialists who operate with integrity and honesty – values you don’t typically associate with insurers. In this episode you’ll learn what investors and landlords should look for with landlord insurance policies, the risks that landlord insurance mitigates and what is and isn’t covered along with a host of other very interesting insurance considerations. You’ll then be able to assess whether you have the right landlord insurance to cover your risks. If you haven’t got a landlord insurance policy through a specialist provider like EBM and you’re not aware of the financial risks you are exposed to with a generalist policy, then email us here at hello@khgroup.com.au and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
