Eat That Frog - Now!





I appreciate having all your professional connections and I am pleased to know from your feedback, that you are reading posts you find valuable.  However, to make our connection really work, we may have to Eat that frog. 

As author Brian Tracy of “Eat that Frog!” says, “Your frog is your biggest, most important task, the one you’re most likely to procrastinate on if you don’t do something about it now”. 

Australian investment markets are currently at the same levels as they were ten years ago. The struggling resources sector has weighed heavily on investment markets.   Not great if you're planning on retiring and accessing your super now, however an excellent opportunity if you've got time up your sleeve. Markets will recover. They are presently at ten year lows.  This represents a massive discount, and if you want to give your super the best opportunity for growth, it should be well placed to take advantage of the recovery now.

Maybe a review of your Superannuation has been a personal fat frog for you?  It’s time to eat that frog!  As Brian Tracy says, eating that one frog [task] “can have the greatest positive impact on your life and results at the moment."

Let’s make a time in the diary to eat that frog.  Either in person, phone, skype, face time or email.  Maybe you have time over your Christmas break or hitch break.  Maybe a Superannuation review could be one of your New Year resolutions?   Granted, you may have more than one New Year fat frog to eat.  As author Brian Tracy suggests “eat the ugliest one first."

Enjoy reading my posts and blogs in 2016.  If you ever have a query, concern or topic idea – message me and I will do my best to provide you with a timely and accurate response.

Together, let’s protect the future you, now.

Times are tough. How can you position yourself to minimise the impact?

The last few weeks have been extraordinary to say the least. We’re battling a world wide health crisis and we face uncertainty in many aspects of our lives.  It’s true that there are simply some things beyond our control and we will more than likely see many changes to our everyday lives for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. So, what can be done?  On the other side of this, many people will be left with dramatic financial stress, whether it be periods of unemployment, depleted cash reserves or battered superannuation balances.  And for many, timing will be an issue. Those who were weeks ago contemplating retirement may now need to change their plans. And those that are still accumulating for retirement have more than likely just seen their investments and superannuation return to levels of 5 or 6 years ago. Essentially the clock has be wound back in one way or another.  It may well be a good time to take stock and lay some foundations for when things do recover (which they

When Socks and Jocks don’t cut it anymore.

We have a solution  to avoid the old favourites: socks and jocks this Father’s Day.  As this weekend is Father’s Day, the focus should be on Dad.  You can purchase the actual book or the digital copy  so Dad can access year - round savings from his smart phone.  Part proceeds from your purchase, also helps a local Brisbane charity:  Be Uplifted Inc Breast Cancer Charity – so everyone wins!  Click here  to purchase Dad his Entertainment Book subscription.

Financial advice is not the same for everyone.

Financial planning . That’s for people with lots of money to invest, isn’t it? Not necessarily. Sure, investment planning is an important part of financial planning, but underpinning the whole process of creating wealth in the first place is having a good financial strategy. For many people that strategy is taking each day as it comes and letting the future look after itself; but in a complex and ever-changing world, isn’t a more active approach a good idea? Each of us has specific needs and desires, of course, but there are a number of common challenges that we need to think about when developing our financial strategies. Stage of life. Baby boomers (born 1946-1964) are moving into retirement in droves so Gen X (1965-1976) is taking on the mantle of being the great wealth accumulators. For the most part, this generation has their strategies in place: pay down the mortgage, contribute to super, maybe buy an investment property, and wait for the kids to leave home. Ge
