419 | Proof Is In The Portfolio: From Leaving School At Year 11 To Owning A $4.5M Property Portfolio – Chat with AJ

 It’s finally here folks. It’s the time of the year we’ve all been waiting for (that’s almost better than Christmas 😉).

Today we’re kickstarting the VERY FIRST episode of our 2022-23 Summer Series!!!  

And boy do we have a FANTASTIC lineup of guests for our 5th Summer Series, each with their own absolutely amazing, jaw-dropping stories which are all about this year’s theme… 

What Drove You To Act?   

Inspired by the crux in every movie.

The inspirational light bulb moment.

The Penny Drop “A-ha” moment.

These are the pivotal moments that every successful investor has faced in their property investing journey.  

From their origin story to their darkest-before-dawn moments to their “rising from the ashes”, we’re kickstarting this awesome series with the unique story of AJ.  

 

 

 

We’ve all heard the idea that life’s about making the most of your youth and you can “figure the rest out” later, but what happens when you choose the life-changing and highly rewarding path of delayed gratification?   

Well folks, you’re about to discover what happens because this is the inspiring story of AJ. 

From growing up in a financially tight household to the pivotal moment in his childhood that transformed his entire family’s dialogue around money… 

He’ll be sharing how he invested in his FIRST property at just 16 years old (Yep. You read that right! And did we mention he COMPLETELY self-funded it?! Tune in to 15:22 to find out how!) 

The failproof investing style that’s bought him his successful 6-property portfolio (and you can implement it too!)… 

And all of life’s journeys in between, taking him from Afghanistan to Antarctica to Darwin and beyond. 

There are also NO budgets, a divorce and some truly great words of wisdom from AJ tucked in between the pages of this week’s episode. 

A truly impressive and stirring story. A ginormous thank you to AJ for taking the leap of faith with us this year and sharing his amazing story with our community.  

 Listen now folks for an instant boost of motivation! 😊  

 

 

 

P.S. And for those parents who are tossing up, ‘how much should I be telling my kids about money?’, listen to 1:03:58 to find out how Bryce & Ben are navigating this tricky question.
