Have you ever been around someone who you “just know” is going to be successful? Like, really, really successful?! They talk differently. They think differently. It’s like you can see that the “thing” driving them is coming straight from the core of who they are or something… and, almost always, they aren’t afraid of going against the grain, doing things differently, right?!
Well, it can be argued (and rightfully so!) that today’s guest is already REALLY successful, especially from a career point of view… BUT what makes this guest so impressive is something else… there’s WAY more to them that made us go, “Wow!” multiple times during this interview!
Here’s the deal…
Today we are interviewing 25-year old Australian professional football player (or “soccer” player for some 😉) who plays attacking midfielder or winger for the Socceroos and Perth Glory… Chris Ikonomidis!!
Yes, that means he’s playing “The World Game” at an ELITE level, but it also means that his teammates are often cruising around in their new Lamborghinis and diamond Rolexes when they’re not on the football pitch…
But Chris?! Nope. Chris is playing an EVEN BIGGER game. See, he’s resisting the lavish lifestyle now ‘cos he’s fully aware that his sporting career won’t last forever.
And that’s where today’s epic episode comes in… we’re doing a LIVE critique of Chris’s Property Plan… that is, what properties he’s invested in, what he’s thinking of investing in (and if it’s a good idea or not), and how he’s managed to switch his mindset to stay focused on the long-term play!
This episode’s packed with wisdom ALL of us can leverage from and money tips we can apply in our own lives.
Highly recommend this one, folks! Tune in now & let us know what you think!
