Today’s episode is all about the tools you can use to overcome that overwhelming feeling of uncertainty. We talk about how to create a routine, different health, wellness, and mindfulness tactics for better productivity, how to adjust with working and living in the same space, and how to focus on using your time now to accelerate your position and prepare for the future.

The current SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic is a world-altering issue. Aside from the obvious morbidity and mortality, the fear pandemic seems out of proportion to the infectious pandemic. Consequently, there has already been a severe impact on the share market, shop fronts, consumer expenditure as well as the social ramifications resulting from isolation. Now more than ever people need a critical analysis of the financial effects of the global crisis, and they need a sense of community in this time of forced solitude. This episode will satisfy both of these requirements. How? Through a webinar inviting discussions about the current state of affairs and the impact it has on property portfolios, and by creating a digital connection between people.

Who among us can truthfully say they haven’t been sold a lemon? Whether it is a car, a skincare range from that talkative exotic mall worker, or an inflated bid for your first property. We are all of us fallible and this is known to those less-than-reputable folk who seek to exploit it to their own benefit. In the world of real estate, they can take many forms and distinguishing those that are trustworthy from those that aren’t can be very difficult (from novice to expert). This scepticism breeds inactivity for fear of making a mistake or being taken for a ride.

The legislation of tax depreciation is our topic for today. Does that make you want to switch this podcast off immediately? We wouldn’t blame you, but this is definitely a conversation you’ll want to stick around for. It’s no secret that not a lot of people get super excited about tax and depreciation, but if you take the time to get to know the facts, the benefits can be absolutely huge. There are a lot of misconceptions around what you can and can’t depreciate as a property investor, and on a recent live session within the Dashdot Facebook Group, Goose chats to Mike Mortlock to uncover just how fun tax can really be. It’s all well and good to get cashflow, and growth but what we’re here to talk about today is how to get even more out of everything that you’ve got.

Goose and Gabi return to shepherd their flock of investors safely to the greener pastures of property funding enlightenment, breaking it down into two pathways: investing without the First Home Owner Grant, or using the grant to build your investment strategy. Their compass? Budget.

When we talk about investing, we’re not just talking about real estate, shares, or business, we are talking about investing in life. Finance, spirituality, social life, family, health, education… there is a world outside of real estate waiting to be conquered. Like any goal, it is best approached with a system. Enter the four stages of investing in anything: dream, team, acquire, empire. Analyse your ambition with your investing custodians Goose and Gabi.

Geographical freedom through the internet, success despite adversity, courageous decision-making, and staying true to your purpose are today’s talking points discussed in the context of Ben’s rich life and business experiences and his published literature.

In order to achieve a positive outcome in your investment journey, you have got to establish a process. It’s important to operate in a way that is in alignment with what you want to achieve. Luckily for you, we’re taking the guesswork out of what your process should look like and sharing ours with you. This is the exact process we follow with our clients and we know it works and we’ve broken it down into eight key steps.

So, you’ve decided you’re investing in property. The news says it’s a good time to buy. Your Uncle Tony at the family barbecue says you should have bought 20 years ago. What if you’ve already bought – do you sell? There are websites, podcasts, books dedicated to this stuff and all the researching is driving you bonkers. But you’re paralysed by indecision. What if you make the wrong decision? What if it’s the right move but the people around you don’t agree? Why exactly are you doing this again?
