This is Wave One in a new housing mindset. And almost nobody sees it. You know me, I love a good deal. But I also love a deal that does good things. So If I can find something that delivers a great return, and does a lot of good in the process, then it’s winner, […]
TBT: Defusing the fear of the unknown
There’s nothing wrong with being scared. I overheard a conversation at one of our gatherings a little while back.

I ended up in a mastermind group in Adelaide this week. It was a group of what I call “Mates in the market” You know what I was so amazed by? This was a group of students and they are all using different strategies to invest and succeed in real estate. This is exactly […]
WTF? The boom still has 20 years to run?
Glenn Stevens lays down some cold hard truths about a so-called property crash. There’s still 20 years left in this boom. That’s what Glenn Stevens seems to be suggesting. (You remember Glenn, right?

Truth Bomb Tuesday: The one key to living YOUR life
Pretend to be someone else and you’ll end up with someone else’s life. “You don’t look like an economist!” I take that as a compliment these days. I like to think I don’t look like an economist. That’s not really a style I’m going for. I don’t walk into the hair salon, and say, “Something […]
Truth Bomb Tuesday: Make it about the money
Money can teach you how live a better life of service. No, seriously… You’re not here to make money. I know this is probably so obvious that it doesn’t need mentioning, but still… We live in a world where we still get a gauge of something’s value by asking about its price. “Ohh. Nice car. […]

And then over in the […]
Truth Bomb Tuesday: Don’t build… “work” your life
This country-girl-come-builder had the framing all wrong… I was thinking about the phrase “build the life you want” the other day. I think I’ve been getting it all wrong. I use this phrase a lot. It’s one of the ways I describe what I do. “I help people build the life they want.” But lately […]
A budget to annoy real investors
Investors keep taking hits as budget disappoints. Ok, a few people have been asking what I made of the budget. Here’s my thoughts: The Godot Surplus First up, overall, this budget looks like another piece of fiction – like every budget in the past ten years. We see the budget returning to surplus four years […]
Truth Bomb Tuesday: Love Your Zombie
Why are zombie movies so popular? Are they giving us a reflection of something? I once read about a fascinating account an alcoholic had with his demon. He was talking about his drive home from work. He went through different stages. At first it was. “I’m getting in the car, but I’m going straight home.” […]
