What if the government isn’t coming to save you and never was? In this episode, I get real about what’s holding too many Australians back from building wealth: misplaced reliance on systems that were never designed to serve the individual.

Joined by my team, we unpack the role of personal responsibility in wealth creation, expose the myths around government support, and walk through the exact strategies our clients are using to buy not just one, but multiple properties this year.

This isn’t just about real estate. It’s about mindset. About refusing to hand over your future to policymakers, and instead grabbing life by the horns.

We dive into real scenarios, probation, maternity leave, self-employment, HECS debt, and show you how to overcome each one with a clear, strategic plan.

If you’re ready to stop waiting and start building, this one’s for you.
