215 | Jordan Bill – How Money S.M.A.R.T.S. Transformed Their Family’s Life

Folks, if there’s one thing we love… it’s a good TRANSFORMATION story!! And today’s guest had a transformation that seriously shocked us!

Here’s why this radical change was so impressive…

Today’s guest and #TPC listener Jordan Bill USED TO think, “He who dies with the most money wins”… AND he knows that being dragged to his dad’s worksite as a kid, and being asked to move all those bricks and straighten those nails taught him a valuable life lesson…

… Working hard pays off.

BUT how??

Jordan has grown to realise that a paycheck (even that $3 bucks he’d get from his dad as a kid to buy some mixed lollies) didn’t always end up with a bigger bank balance. PLUS he now gets that a bigger bank balance, especially when you’re in the ground, is NOT what property investing’s about. And neither is it about blowing your cash on… ah…nothing.

The crux of the story?

The backbone to Jordan’s transformation came from Money S.M.A.R.T.S. This system proved to him that elite money management wasn’t just about “land banking” all of your cash, OR letting it slip from your fingers in one live-for-the-moment swoop… elite money management was putting it to work so it could take care of his family and give him more of what he REALLY wanted.

It transformed his life, his family’s life and those little neurons in his brain…

Here’s what you’re in for…

How’d he get into property?
How did he find his first home?
What was it like to renovate and build it himself?

214 | Fiona Bengtsson – From Near Bankruptcy to 11 Renovations and counting!

Folks, there are some stories that are just meant to be told… and listener Fiona Bengtsson DEFINITELY lives one of these stories!

Here’s the plot line…

Fiona, a teacher by trade, and her husband Andreas, a tradie, had three kids and a small business when things started to go pear-shaped. With their company growing faster than it could fund itself, Fiona and Andrea began feeding their OWN money into the company, hoping the return would pay off. Instead, what happened was this…

They borrowed money to pay off borrowed money. They dug into the gut of their personal finances and entered a debt spiral so out-of-control that Fiona actually stopped sleeping at night. The stress and the embarrassment entered their family home, took up the space in the pantry where the groceries (which they could no longer afford) sat… and the pressure of it all silenced the real conversations between family, friends and, even worse… each other.

Rock bottom was their reality.

BUT — as Fiona is bravely about to share with us — in several years they ended up flipping this debt-spiral on its head, revamped their financial situation and are now ON TOP.

The question is… how on earth did they recover from very-near bankruptcy???
