Episode 1: What they won’t teach you in school

Alex Robertson explains his journey to entrepreneurship, escaping the system, and the corporate machine.

The Real Wealth podcast is aimed at opening your eyes to the potential of financial freedom and living a life on your own terms. We are all brought up through a system that is designed to pump out employees into the workforce and pay the majority of your earnings to the government through direct tax, indirect tax and stealth tax.

Episode Highlights

Learn to Master the 4 C’s in Wealth

• Control – learn to manage your money, budget and save
• Create – Learn all the different wealth creation strategies, all of which we will be exploring in future podcasts
• Compound – the power of growing wealth through reinvestment
• Conserve – learn to protect your newly created wealth, with diversification of investment and tax avoidance strategies.

The Game Changer: Read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

• Pay yourself first: Never increase your outgoings to a point where you can’t first save a targeted portion of your income
• Buy Assets not Liabilities: An asset puts money in your pocket, a liability takes it out. NOTE: Your house is not an asset.
• Master your mindset to master your money.
• Risks = Rewards: To create wealth you must take risks.
• Two thirds of your life you are working for the government. Understanding tax (and how to avoid it) is fundament to building wealth.
• Use good debt to build your wealth and avoid bad debt (buying things you can’t afford and don’t need).
• Learn the power of compounding.
