What does freedom mean to you? How much freedom do you have and enjoy? Freedom, fulfilment and happiness seem to be what we are all chasing – but what does freedom really mean? Freedom for me is having the choice to do what I like, when I like, where I like with who I like. It is about choice. On one hand, we have never had so much freedom of choice. But at the same time, our level of perceived happiness seems to be decreasing and there has never been a higher growth in the incidence of anxiety and depression. So today I want to explore this conundrum in some detail, drawing on Barry Schwartz’s excellent observations and insights from his book ‘The Paradox of Choice – Why More is Less’, and share some strategies on how you can fully enjoy your freedoms without suffering some of the apparent side effects. Get Invested is the podcast dedicated to time poor professionals who want to work less and live more. Join Bushy Martin, one of Australia’s top 10 property specialists, as he and his influential guests share

We continue our mini-series on property investment learnings and insights.  Did you know that over 555,000 of residential properties are bought in Australia each year and between 25- 35% of these being investment properties? Now I know first hand how good property investment can be to help you enjoy a great lifestyle, yet sadly only 5% or 1 in 20 investors achieve sustainable success. And unfortunately property investing is the second most common reason that Australians lose money. Why is this? Many private property investors and home buyers want to invest in property and ‘live the dream’, but are often not informed enough about the risks that come with it due to: - The sheer volume of investment information providing conflicting advice - Interested parties such as real estate agents and developers providing biased advice - Reliance on existing property reports that only focus on current or past market values, data or conditions So one of the key secrets for success in property is to access current, high qual

As we start a new year and a new decade, it is a great time to reflect on the past, learn from it and plan what we’ll do to optimise our opportunities in the future.   So that’s exactly what we’re going to do in this two-part special on the Get Invested podcast.  In part one, we focus on what has happened in property nationally over the last couple of years and what lessons we gleaned from it.  In the next episode we will focus on the future – what’s in store in the year ahead from the macro to the micro level, what impact will this have on property in Australia and where should you invest if you’re looking for sustainable success.  And to help shed some light on this there’s no-one better qualified or better positioned than special guest Doron Peleg.   For those of you who have been listening to Get Invested for some time, you will remember Doron from episode 24 where he opened our eyes to successful property investment principles and the benefits of his unique forward projecting research from his company Ri

Now this time of the year is a great time for reflection and a chance to recharge your batteries, so I’m going to challenge you to make the time to read and listen to podcasts as a way of filling your tank with inspiration and motivation. Just trade some time that you spend watching or listening to the news or scrolling through social media and replace it with some good book or podcast listening time – you will be amazed at how you start thinking and seeing things differently. As a constant reader I have a library of books, both in hard copy and on my kindle reader that goes everywhere with me. Because to me, to stop learning is to die on the inside. I’ve always got at least three to four books on the go at the same time, so I read to suit my mood. I generally start the day with self-development books and podcasts when I’m at the gym. I listen to something inspirational and motivational when I am in the shower, and I finish the day with fiction books so I can relax into sleep. And yes, I love to read in the u

Luke is an extreme adventurer. He now calls himself a full-time author, speaker, climber and ocean rower and part-time base jumper - but he’s much more than that. After hitting rock bottom in his early twenties from drug addiction he managed to set himself straight after finding a sweaty salvation in the Muay Thai training camps of Thailand.

I want to wake you up to help you to see differently – so you can see in the same unique way that all of the 5% who achieve sustainable success see the world. Today we’re going to break with Get Invested tradition to bring you the audio of the keynote presentation I delivered at the Wake Up conference in Adelaide in 2019. This is the first time I revealed the unique way of seeing things that all successful people adopt, whether they are consciously aware of it or not – a special way of seeing that I’ve distilled from my continuous study of success over the last 35 years – a way of seeing differently that has formed the basis of our living by design way of life and our freedom formula. So if you’re feeling stuck, drowning in despair and trapped on the treadmill and you cant see a way out – if  you’re wondering how you need to see differently to start enjoying better results in any area of your life, this episode will wake you up and give you the GPS that you’ve been looking for.

John Mihailidis is the Founder of Project My Profit - an online program teaching people how to build real wealth investing in stocks. He’s on a mission to inspire others to build real wealth over time by investing in stocks based on his own personal success in becoming a self-made millionaire. In 2006, for the very first time, John picked up a book about investing by Warren Buffett, and read it cover to cover. By the time he finished that book he was inspired to become just like Warren and build wealth by investing in stocks so he could retire early and live financially free.

When you talk with John the first thing you notice about him is his genuine humility, and down to earth nature.

Saxon and Sinclair Fisher-Gray are living proof of the game-changing physical, mental and emotional benefits of fasting. So what is fasting? How can you benefit from it? Well today you are about to find out. Saxon and Sinclair have turned it into a science and used themselves as living guinea pigs – and as you will hear from them, the results are astounding and life-changing. I’ve personally benefited from fasting since the beginning of the year. By limiting my eating to eight hours a day and fasting for the other 16 hours, I’ve not only dropped 10kg (which has been impossible for me to achieve previously due to my Hashimoto’s thyroid condition) but the mental fog has gone, I enjoy much better focus, clarity and creativity and some nagging body aches and pains have disappeared. All this by essentially skipping breakfast and starting eating at midday. But this is just the tip of the iceberg compared to the ground-breaking work that Saxon and Sinclair are doing in this fasting space around self-healing – and
