Get Invested With Bushy Martin

Despite the busyness of life, at some stage you are going to need to make the time and take the time to invest in yourself. And today’s conversation with Stuart Wemyss, spread across this and the next episode, will give you the inspiration and the information to start making it happen. Because, as Stuart has made famous, it’s the start that stops most people. One of the great privileges of hosting this podcast is that I get to connect with all of the people I have respected and admired over the years, and in this regard today’s guest Stuart Weymss is another of my virtual mentors.  In many ways Stuart  is another one of my Siamese twins from another mother because we both think and act the same in relation to investing in yourself and living by design, along with adopting a holistic integrated approach where investing is an elite team sport and a game of finance. In his words, he also ‘eats his own cooking’ in terms of personally investing in the same way he advises his clients.   Stuart is a qualified charte

All the traits and behaviours of the most successful people who live by design can be learned and inculcated – it is just about mirroring these people and developing your own set of happy habits and rewarding rituals. And a great place to start is by mirroring the approach of today’s guest Jim Smith. Jim has successfully set up his life so that he is now devoting his time to building Focus Tours. Focus Tours is a fusion of Nepali and Laos charm combined with Australian focus on detail, creating a truly unique and personal experience for travellers looking to enjoy trekking, sightseeing, volunteering and unwinding. If you’re looking to travel to Nepal or Laos and really enjoy the local culture then check it out at www.focustours.com.au.   You’ll love Jim’s down to earth genuine, generous and very caring approach to helping others in everything he’s done and continues to do. Jim lives a very fulfilled life of freedom where he combines his love of travel with the ability to teach others and help others less fort

Anything you decide to invest in, and the way you invest in it, needs to satisfy this criteria: it must be simple and easy, time-effective, low-cost and high-growth – meaning you just need to pick investment vehicles that tick these boxes and the job’s done! In this regard, Jason McIntosh’s Motion Trader service is a perfect fit as the medium term nature of his investment trading system lets winning trades run for one to two years on average. This is a low touch, high traction approach. The beauty of Jason’s Motion Trader approach is that his algorithms do all of the homework and research for you, and because the work is technically based, the trading rules remove our subjective emotional judgement and reactivity - which, as you’ve heard, is the cause of most investment underperformance. But of course there’s much more to investing than just buying and selling stocks. The technical trading algorithms need to be aligned with your mental algorithm behaviour rules and your evolved AI, ancient intelligence automa

Nowadays he manages his family's investments from his home in Sydney because at the end of the day investment should be all about lifestyle. And what Jason enjoys most is teaching every day hard working Aussies to invest like the pros. He loves helping struggling investors to become successful. And if you're ready, he’d love to help you too. In technical terms, Jason is a share market algorithm investor. He’s developed a proven, profitable and robust share investing system that has personally returned his investment portfolio over 10-12% per annum, as you’ll hear during our discussion. Jason’s Motion Trader is a medium term trend following strategy. The aim is to use proven algorithms to identify stocks which meet

If you want to change your financial future by learning more about who you are, what you value and what is best suited to help you live the life you want with the money you have, then today’s guest Vince Scully is here to help you in Part 2 of our deeply engaging and informative discussion. If you listened to the last episode, you’ll know that Vince is a veteran Financial Adviser, Author and Financial Wellness Advocate and the founder of Life Sherpa – an online platform that helps you make money and investing accessible and affordable. He’s realised that what makes you comfortable with your money and allows you to live the life you want with the money you have isn’t about how much you earn or save or where you invest it. What makes the difference is truly understanding what you want and spending your money in a way that gets you closer to achieving it. It is about you getting clear on your true life goals and values. What I call 'living by design, not default' in my book The Freedom Formula. And Vince’s book

A lot of people are operating on defunct money myths that are misleading at best and destructive at worst. Myths that appear to make sense at first glance but have often passed their expiry date. This is where today’s guest Vince Scully comes in to help you clear the money myths. Vince is a veteran Financial Adviser, Author and Financial Wellness Advocate and the founder of Life Sherpa – an online platform that helps you make money and investing accessible and affordable.  He helps you to master the art of living the life you want with the money you have. Many myths sound credible but are dangerous to your wealth and happiness. Some of these myths include: “Money doesn’t buy happiness” “Rent money is dead money” “Two incomes are better than one” “You need a lot of money to start investing” And the biggest myth of all … “Cutting out your morning latte will make you rich.” This has prompted Vince to author his great book ‘The Latte fallacy and Other Money Myths.’ It addresses the commonly held, but incorrect

What's a quick and easy way to overcome your money fears and to start embracing money as your friend rather than your enemy? This is where today’s guest Julia Newbould and her new book ‘The Joy of Money’ comes to your rescue.  I’m betting that not many of you associate feelings of joy with money.

We need to think about our financial future differently. We need an entirely new approach that enables us to use our progressively increasing financial position to live our best lives now, rather than putting things off to a future date that may never come. And this is where todays guest introduces us to his unique concept of financial autonomy. Paul Benson tells us all about it and how you can do it. Paul has been helping Australians achieve their financial goals as a financial planner for over 20 years. He’s also host of the popular Financial Autonomy podcast centred on an observation that what we all really want in life is choice.

And his podcast lead to publishing his recently released book Financial Autonomy which is helping Paul reach even more Australians achieve their version of Financial Autonomy.

If you’re always looking through the rear view mirror, you can’t see the road ahead. So the ability to identify future outperforming hotspots by being borderless and adopting a national property approach has and is becoming increasingly important, especially if you want to join the ranks of the sustainably successful 5% - because 80% of the growth of a property comes from its location and a minor difference in the growth rate between one location and another can make hundreds of thousands of dollars of difference to the value of your property nest egg over time.
