    Send us Fan Mail

    Goals versus Strategies - What's the difference?

    Hands up if you have said you have a goal to be mortgage free!

    Tune in to this weeks episode where Tim and Brodie discuss the difference between a Goal and a Strategy and why it is so important to differentiate the two when considering financial planning.
