The Importance of Mindset: How this Investor Plans to Achieve Freedom in the Next 3 Years with Shaun McGeachin
Season 1 Episode 82
Have you got a plan to take you from where you are now, to where you want to be?
What actions make up that plan?
You see, most people are just bumbling along in life, haphazardly executing on random activities, without ever clearly knowing where they are going, or why.
In fact, the key difference between those who find success, and those who settle for mediocrity is having the right mindset, and having the right goals.
If you’re reading this, then almost certainly property investing is a key factor in your quest for better.
And, with the right mindset and due diligence, your property journey could lead you to a life of freedom, choice, and abundance.
In today’s investor story, we have Shaun McGeachin, a property investor who started his journey overseas, skipping the Australian market and investing in New Zealand straight away.
Join us as we chat about his property portfolio's future pathway and how this plan plays in his grand goal of achieving economic independence in three years.
