Summary

There are three things we control with regard to wealth building: how much we make, how much we spend, and the rate of return we earn on our investments.

Those are the only three things you can change and affect. And they're the three things that will make the difference in how wealthy you become.

My personal investment strategy has changed and developed over the years. But, going forward, I've decided to invest in real estate.

In today's show I share with you some of the back story and some of the reasons I've made this decision.

Remember, my goals and skills are different from yours; learn from me, but don't copy me.

Enjoy the show!
