In this episode, we tear apart one of the biggest misconceptions in business: your accountant is NOT your advisor.

Too many business owners stay stuck, broke, and burnt out because they rely on accountants for strategic advice, when most accountants have never actually built or run a business themselves.

In this episode, we break down:

• The real difference between an accountant and an advisor
• Why mindset, psychology, and embodiment matter more than spreadsheets
• How personal growth and leadership fuel financial results
• The CFO-level decisions that make or break a business
• What to look for in a real advisor who can guide you to sustainable wealth

If you’re a founder, CEO, or business owner tired of generic financial advice, this episode will help you see the game differently, and start building a business that actually works for you.

In this episode, we reveal why property, when done the right way is the most reliable path to financial freedom, breaking down the simple, systemised strategy that turns property from a risky guess into a calculated wealth-building machine. From mini-markets to building the right team (buyer’s agent, broker, advisor), you’ll see how to cut through the noise, reduce risk, and unlock 10X returns without the chaos of business or the volatility of shares.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

In this episode of Strategiq Chess, we dive deep into the mindset shift that separates high performers from everyone else, and why so many people stay stuck in the same identity, same results, and same limitations for years.

We break down:

• The identity trap keeping underperformers stuck

• Why most people defend their limitations without realising it

• The Be Do Have model that changes everything

• What true coachability looks like (and how to hire for it)

• How to rewire your mindset and execute like a weapon

• The difference between people who evolve and those who never do

This episode is raw, unfiltered, and packed with real talk around growth, leadership, and breaking through performance plateaus. If you’re serious about becoming the kind of person who creates results and not excuses, this is the one to watch.
