Have you ever felt like the classic Aussie dream -  you know, owning your home, maybe a few investment properties, and creating a secure future for your family -  is getting harder to reach?

You're not alone.

Today, I'm joined by Mark Matson – a renowned American entrepreneur, wealth educator, and author of Experiencing the American Dream.

Now, before you switch off at the phrase "American Dream" – I get it – this isn't a US flag-waving episode.

In fact, Mark's message is about something we all care about: taking control of your financial future, transforming your mindset around money, and aligning your wealth with your life's purpose.

 

We discuss the psychological aspects of wealth, the impact of media on mindset, and the necessity of shifting from a scarcity to an abundance mentality.

 

The dialogue also addresses common investing myths, the significance of problem-solving in financial decisions, and the distinction between being rich and being fulfilled.
