1. Leaving it Too Late This is the typical life story for MOST of us. We leave school or Uni and get a job. At that stage we have 100% disposable income, which is the only time in our life that its going to happen, although we don’t realise it at this time. Life is good and long term to us is - Saturday night or our next holiday. We have no concept of long term, let alone retirement. Eventually we might partner up, kids come along, mortgages, careers and all of a sudden 20 to 30 years has gone by. We’ve missed out on 2 or 3 booms, we’ve missed out on that property going from $75,000 to $950,000. That’s what MOST of us do, and its so easy to happen! 2. Procrastination "Most of us treat life like a credit card. It’s heaps of fun till you get the bill." Have you ever said to yourself, ‘I’ll get started after that next pay rise’ or , "after my trip to UK", or"after I’ve paid off the car", or ‘after we’ve fixed the house up". MOST of us procrastinate over money matters until just before we are ready to retire and by then its too late, we’ve missed out on all that TIME, which is so important. 3. Confusion. Not knowing what to do next Firstly, it used to be lack of information, but it has now become too much information. In the world of Google, the world is awash with information. Just Google ‘Wealth Creation Strategies’ and you get over 1,630,000 references. But all that information has just led MOST people to be even more confused than ever. 4. Mindset of ‘Can’t Do’ rather than ‘Can Do’ We all know people who can always tell you why an investment is not right. Interest rates are too high, trouble in Asia, election coming up, GFC Crisis. They always have a reason why not to invest… so they never do 5. Don’t Get Help And lastly, we don’t get help. All successful businesses and successful sportspeople have coaches and advisers, without exceptions! Its only the amateurs that want to work out how to do it themselves. Do you know of any professional athlete that does not have a personal coach or manager? If you wish to achieve success, you need to gain assistance from a person well educated in finance to keep you accountable and assist you in a personal way to achieve your wealth goals.
