Some of us are rich, but are we wealthy? For Sean D’Souza, founder of marketing strategy company Psychotactics, wealth is having enough time on your hand to do what you want — whether that’s travelling, cooking, spending time with your family or anything else.

 

By all means, Sean is wealthy. He takes three months holiday every year, and spends plenty of time with his family and pursuing his hobbies.

A good property manager can be crucial in the success or otherwise of a property investment over the long term. But choosing the right one can be surprisingly difficult – so where do you start? What do look for? And what should you expect from a good property manager?

I’ve gone straight to the source on this episode of Get Invested. My guest is Lauren Robinson. The great thing about this chat with Lauren is that she comes to the topic from two perspectives, both as an award-winning property manager with her own successful business, Rental Results, and as a long-term property investor in her own right. In fact, when it comes to property management and investors, she wrote the book on the subject – it’s called Rented. And as you’ll hear, Lauren really knows her stuff.

Here’s just some of what we check off the list in this episode:

 

•      What makes a good property manager
•      Top tips for choosing a good one
•      Why you should never self-manage a property
•      The benefits of using a dedicated property manager
•      How to minimise risks and maximise returns
•      Why she doesn’t manage her investment properties
•      The advantages of rent-vesting
•      Co-ownership – risks and rewards
•      Key reasons why landlords fail
•      Thoughts on pet-friendly rentals

When it comes to podcasting, there are few bigger names than John Lee Dumas, host of the hugely popular Entrepreneurs On Fire podcast. And it’s a very great pleasure to have him on this episode of Get Invested. 

With ‘Entrepreneurs On Fire’, John has really been an inspiration for so many people, from Silicon Valley heavyweights to wantrepreneurs looking for a place to start. It’s easy to see why. He’s a guy filled with generosity of spirit and knowledge, and in this episode we get some great insights into his business and investment journey and what he’s learned along the way.

Compared to some of our other episodes, this one’s an absolute machine-gun dance (under 20 minutes), but I think you’ll agree it’s packed with gold.

Here are just some of the nuggets we unearth:

•      Why John believes the best investment he ever made is himself
•      Why he’s passionate about dollar cost averaging and index investing
•      How John invests in practice, and his big wins
•      Why he recommends getting your hands dirty before jumping into a degree
•      The importance of investing in a team
•      Why he thinks he’s so bad at many things
•      Why it’s better to be a person of value than success
•      The difference between in-vestors and out-vestors
•      Why he lives in Puerto Rico (and maybe you should too)

It can be tough to take care of ourselves nowadays. We’re so busy and burdened with the demands of a fast-paced world, that we tend to ignore our bodies and let stress, illness and discontent pile up. The remedy, according to our latest guest on the Get Invested Podcast, lies in coming back to natural foods and healthcare products.

On our latest episode, Sally was kind enough to chat with me and share her fascinating story, which took a turning point when she was undergoing a thyroid disorder and finally decided to slow down her life and heavily involve herself in yoga, mindfulness and holistic living. If you’re finding yourself overly stressed by modern life, you’ll have to give this podcast a listen.

Sally and I chat about all of the above, as well as the following:

• How modern cosmetics are causing a host of health problems
• Why “I don’t have enough time” is a poor excuse for not taking care of yourself
• The issue with modern education
• How a combination of health and emotional issues brought Sally to improve her health
