If you're a Property Podcast listener you're already a winner, but in this episode we discuss how to cultivate a winning mindset to push yourself to even greater levels of success.

In property as with anything else, what separates the high-achievers from the rest generally isn't technical ability or knowledge – it's having the attitude to spot and capitalise on opportunities, and overcome the inevitable challenges.

We get into:

• What we can learn from top athletes and business people
• How to turn yourself into a happy and positive person
• The importance of self-awareness
• Why we go to ridiculous lengths to avoid negative influences
• Tweaks you can make to your communication to influence your worldview
• The woo-woo bit: why we both have a gratitude practice

Along the way we mention:

• Rob B's favourite meditation app

This week our friend Pete Matthew is back, guiding us through alternative ways to get exposure to property – without owning it directly.

We discuss different types of "collective investment" vehicles (such as REITs, OIECs and a whole bunch of other acronyms) as well as investments that track property rather than holding it, such as ETFs. During our chat we get to the bottom of:

• Why it's useful to look at alternatives to holding property directly
• All the different options, and how to tell them apart
• The pros and cons of these types of investment
• How to research the prospects of different opportunities

This week on Ask Rob & Rob, Bjorn...

Asks Rob & Rob –  How much of my net worth should be in property?

The Rob's are possibly not unbiased on this frequently asked question, but they do try to give a balanced take on the well publicised adage that you shouldn't keep more that 10% of your net worth in bricks and mortar.     Listen to this week's episode and let us know your thoughts on this one over on the forum.
