186 - Pete Wargent (Finance and Real Estate Expert, Author)

Pete Wargent is an international property buyer, finance and real estate expert and author. To put it more succinctly, Pete is an expert in wealth creation and spends the majority of his time teaching others how to maximise their money through financial knowledge and education. Starting off as an Accountant and moving out to Australia from the UK many years ago, Pete has been collating a wealth of knowledge obtained from personal experiences in striving toward his own financial goals. These days with the Accountant job long left in the dust, Pete's full time gig see's him having a large impact on others to not only dispel many myths around money and investing, but also helping to create better mindsets towards the way we handle and take care of our money. No doubt many of us have been in the same boat when it comes to the psychology of money. Brought up from previous generations who may not have had an abundance of opportunity, money was something to be desperately held onto. Extreme sacrifice was needed in order to create the basic stabilities in life. In many cases this resulted in an anxious view and fear toward the topic of money. It wasn't discussed positively, if at all, around the kitchen table at home and very few were exposed to relatable financial education. Life is dramatically different these days with the internet continuing to connect the world together. Opportunities are endless. With financial education you have every possible bit of information at your finger tips and within seconds. There is almost no excuse to not be better prepared when it comes to your own money. The only thing that holds most of us back now is the battling the old fears and allowing ourselves to take those first few steps to get started and begin to make better decisions. Pete is one of those financial experts who is helping to lead the way with an array of books, blogs and video content to help others overcome their own perceived views and limitations. Pete's ability to be able to convey helpful information and insight, no matter what level of knowledge or experience, has placed him as one of the more popular and well respected experts in Australia. We cover a lot in this chat from Pete's own story growing up in the UK and later moving out to Australia all through to mindset strategies and some investment insight. Lot's of great information that will hopefully help us all work toward a better financial future. (Disclaimer: Remember folks, no specific financial advice in this episode.
