Discomfort is the Measure of Success

Discomfort is the Measure of Success

by | Feb 23, 2018 | Finances

Are you constantly avoiding all the difficult conversations in your life?

Most people make up excuses as to why they shouldn’t ask their boss for a pay rise or promotion, why they shouldn’t talk to that attractive man or woman, or why they shouldn’t be honest with their partner about how they feel.

Fact is, so much success and happiness is on the other side of an uncomfortable conversation, which we are too afraid to have.

In most cases, when people do embrace the discomfort, they tend to realise that the worse part wasn’t even the conversation, but the overthinking and avoidance of the conversation in the first place.

Stop making excuses, stop beating around the bush, and stop suffering from the resentment of not facing those difficult conversations.

Invest in Growth, Not In Comfort

Thinking About Getting an Investment Property Next Door?


When getting started with property investing, most people choose the “comfortable route” of investing in something locally. Sure, this will give you peace of mind, but will it bring you the returns you’re looking for?

More often than not, it won’t.


When looking for a property that has high capital growth in a short period of time, you need to start looking at regions of Australia where population growth is expected to boom in the next 8 – 12 years.

Using Your Borrowing Capacity To Build A Property Portfolio

Using Your Borrowing Capacity To Build A Property Portfolio

by | Feb 15, 2018 | Property Investing

When getting into property, many people are unsure what borrowing their capacity is, the different funds they can tap into, and what they can do with those funds.

People all around Australia tend to use their borrowing capacity to buy their principal place of residence, before really exploring the possibility of building a property portfolio.

Your borrowing capacity the amount of money you can tap into to further build and expand on your current financial situation. Many people also use their managed and institutional funds to explore possibilities of building a property portfolio.

When we come along and use our borrowing capacity to buy our principal place of residence, we tie ourselves into that property for years and years.

On the other hand, when we use our borrowing capacity to build our property portfolio, go through a property cycle with the borrowed funds, and then return the money, we avoid locking ourselves out of the property market.

The 2 Paths to Success: Don’t Go It Alone

The 2 Paths to Success: Don’t Go It Alone

by | Feb 9, 2018 | Property Investing

There are 2 paths you can take in life in order to achieve success.

You can choose to create your own path, which is filled with uncertainty and doubt as to whether or not you are going in the right direction.

Or, you can follow in the footsteps of the giants who have come before you.

A great demonstration of this is the McDonald’s Vs Hungry Jacks (Burger King) route. Year after year McDonald’s will spend exorbitant amounts of money on research and development, while Hungry Jack’s just follows them around and moves in next door.

McDonald’s are the giants, Hungry Jack’s are the followers of the giant.

When embarking on any new business or investment venture I urge you to ask yourself…

Which one am I?

Forget Your Past, Create Your Future

Forget Your Past, Create Your Future

by | Feb 2, 2018 | Retirement

Are you leading your life based on your past experiences?

So many of us are walking around in life totally corrupted by subconscious thought patters, which in turn start to become the patterns that create our future.

If you wake up in the middle of the night, you don’t need to turn on a light because you know exactly where the bathroom is.

This same kind of unconscious behaviour is also present in the day to day decisions we make.

Try something new? Nah, last time I did that I failed.
Apply for a new job? I will rejected
Start a new business venture? I am not smart enough

These thought patterns are like channeled out rivers streaming through our sub-conscious, but much like the beggining of a new stream, all you need is a small deviation of the water to create a new channel, and new pattern.
