254 | NRL Star Unpacks His Money and Property Story – Chat with Matt Srama

Top athletes often have a big spike in their income over their lifetime. That is, at the top of their game they’re looking at earning some serious coin… but beyond that… their income can plummet right down, sometimes to ground zero. And things get a bit tricky if the skills they possess aren’t necessarily transferable to the workforce too!

So, folks, what we want to tackle in today’s episode is this… how does a top athlete — or anyone on a fluctuating income for that matter — juggle a small window of time where they’ve got access to more cash than they’ll potentially earn in the future?? How can they maximise this so they can set themselves up BEYOND their time in sport?

Here to help us answer this question, and unpack his money and property story, is someone who has been there, done that… Matt Srama!!!

For those playing at home who might not be familiar with who Matt Srama is… he’s a professional NRL rugby league player for the Gold Coast Titans who had to park his career at the ripe young age of 26 due to injury. Meaning… after a solid career in the NRL, he’s personally experienced with what it’s like to be back “in the real world”! And he’s going to share A LOT of this gold with you today… and folks… you’ll see why what he’s learnt has set him up to work in a development role for the Gold Coast Titans, where now he helps other young players navigate this space!

Oh, and if you’re one of our folks who… ahh… aren’t particularly chuffed with our footy banter… …then you can breathe a sigh of relief!! Because we promise this ep is NOT just sports talk! There’s some pearls of wisdom in here that we can ALL learn from and apply in our own lives 😉

Pssst… and, yep, we got a new intro!!!

 

Folks, we’re doing Relay For Life!!

On October 26th our office is donning our runners and active gear (let’s be honest… ol’ mate Kingsley will probably where his black and white stripes) to participate in Relay For Life to help raise much needed funds for Cancer Council!!

Our goal is to crack $5,000 so we can help fund ground-breaking research into new and better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer! So if you’d like to chip in — even if it’s just a couple of bucks — we’d love it if you could donate to our team here.

251 | What’s NOT Going To Change in Property Investing?

By in Podcast

Subscribe On Itunes Subscribe On Android

We all love questioning what the future holds and speculating on what’s in store for us. And, of course, investing in property is no different. But the thing is… is it helpful to put all that emphasis on the things we can’t control?

See, today’s episode is all about looking through the lens of this quote by Amazon Founder and one of the richest men in the world, Jeff Bezos…

 

“I very frequently get the question, ‘What’s going to change in the next 10 years?’ And that is a very interesting question; it’s a very common one. I almost never get the question: ‘What’s not going to change in the next 10 years?’ And I submit to you that that second question is actually the more important of the two — because you can build a business strategy around the things that are stable in time.” Jeff Bezos, Amazon Founder

 

Folks, when we ask ourselves “What’s NOT Going to Change in Property Investing?” we are actually asking ourselves a higher quality question. And this higher quality question not only helps us to see things more clearly and make smart chess moves, but also, it empowers us to remain the ones in charge despite what future changes occur.

So… what’s always gonna be the same in property a decade from now? Or 20 years from now? Or 40? What are the things that’ll always influence property prices?

Well, tune in folks… and we’ll tell you exactly what’s NOT going to change in property investing!

The Top Highlights…

  • Realistically, will property prices always grow?
  • What type of infrastructure coming into an area does NOT always mean gentrification?
  • Which human behaviour traits will always occur, no matter what?
  • What’s going to happen to Property Spruikers with their “get rich quick schemes”?
  • What specific things are NOT going to change in property investing???

 

 

 

 

250 | Roger Montgomery – Chat with Australia’s Warren Buffett

By in Podcast

Subscribe On Itunes Subscribe On Android

Warren Buffett is probably the greatest investor in the world. And when we say “probably” we really mean…“is”.

Sure, Buffett is estimated to be worth $US83 billion (not incl. the billions he’s already given away to charity)…… and, yep, he sure did make the majority of his wealth after his 50th birthday.

The question is… HOW did he become a self-made billionaire????

…… Value-investing!

In other words: he invested in stocks that were priced for LESS than their true worth. And he held onto them for the long term. That’s it.

So as a very special treat for OUR 250th EPISODE… WE’VE GOT “AUSTRALIA’S WARREN BUFFET” in the house!

And that brings us to today’s guest….

Roger Montgomery, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Montgomery Investment Management, which is a Sydney based specialist boutique equity manager that manages $1.5 billion on behalf of private investors, their advisors and families. Through a simple, common and time-tested philosophy, Montgomery manages several VALUE-ORIENTED FUNDS focused on the various aspects of quality to generate superior return over the very long term.

Before we unpack all this completely, Roger’s 26-year background in financial markets includes Equity Analysis, Equity and Derivative Trading and Investment Banking. After founding, listing and selling a financial services business and listed investment company, Roger established his boutique investment management office.  In 2010, he published his first best-selling book, Value.able – How to Value the Best Stocks and Buy Them for Less Than They’re Worth.

… the clincher, folks?? … His book, of course, sets out his three simple steps for value-investing and online trading.

So. Shall we get on with it… and simply chat to Australia’s version of Warren Buffet????

… You betcha!!!

 

AND DON’T FORGET….. WE HAVE A 250TH EPISODE “BIRTHDAY” GIFT FOR YOU….

Yes, YOU CAN GET A COPY OF MAKE MONEY SIMPLE AGAIN FOR FREE!!!

Huge heads up: there’s a couple of cool surprises tucked behind it that we think we’ll blow your socks off 😉

Roger Montgomery
