My story

I am not a financial whiz kid, guru or even a university graduate—I’m an ordinary Australian who has created an extraordinary lifestyle for myself and my family through some very simple, yet effective, investment strategies.

Born in South Africa, I experienced my fair share of discrimination and poverty. But it was when I was eight years old that an event occurred that stuck in my mind, as I watched my mother weep with despair.

Even though my family was poor, the one tradition we always shared was a big Sunday lunch. However, on this particular day, all my mother could feed us was bread and jam. That memory forever haunted me and I vowed to never let my own children feel the poverty that I experienced.

After my family migrated to Australia in 1984, I spent many years climbing the corporate ladder and was eventually fortunate to land a job with Hewlett Packard. I was finally making good money; however, my pleasure at my rise to corporate success was quickly dampened by the realisation that I was working 70 hours a week and had no social life.

I found myself on what I call ‘the treadmill of a corporate career’ and it didn’t take long to work out that a normal job was never going to deliver the lifestyle I wanted. I decided to look in another direction.

I devoured every investment book I could find. I was deter- mined to discover the right path to financial freedom and spent thousands of hours researching and studying. The trial and error process that followed was emotionally and financially bruising as I regularly took two steps forward and three steps back. Undaunted, I persisted for years as a part- time investor and relentless researcher. I finally discovered the winning formula. I was able to identify the critical components of successful investing and learnt how to consistently make money through investing in property and the sharemarket for income, growth and long-term financial wealth—a specific ‘road-to-riches’ system that anyone could use. Not long after, I quit my job at Hewlett Packard and became a full-time investor, working from home.

Witnessing my growing success, my family and friends hounded me to teach them my investment system. I have since formalised that education process and have been sharing my wealth wisdom strategies since 2002. The word spread and people from all walks of life now flock to discover my remarkable system for creating a quality lifestyle from investing.

Teaching allows me to share my gift with others. My style is passionate and enthusiastic and, despite the nature of the subject, my jovial, light-hearted approach is entertaining and fun and makes it easy for anybody to understand and apply the information. I remove the fears people might have about investing through my easy-to-follow methods.

Successful investment isn’t just about making smart investment choices, it’s about protecting what you accumulate and mitigating the risks. I spent over a decade analysing what really works, and in Wealth Wisdom you get direct access to the solution that took me hundreds of thousands of dollars to uncover.
Now making money as a professional investor, I enjoy a quiet lifestyle in the Byron Bay area of New South Wales with my wife, Frea, and three young children. I don’t commute three hours a day or get stuck in rush-hour traffic. I have no boss and I don’t have to ‘work’ another day in my life.

But the best part is that I love my ‘work’ — I’m always on the lookout for ways to demystify the often confusing and intimidating world of finance and investing. It is that passion to remove the apprehension and make investing accessible to everyone that motivates me to help others.
Now you too can learn how to create an extraordinary life and enjoy an extraordinary lifestyle on your terms.
