    The Inner Game of Investing

    Play Episode Listen Later May 10, 2025 89:10


    This conversation isn't about interest rates, the property cycle, or strategy. It's about the emotional friction that keeps smart investors from moving forward — even when the plan is clear. "I just need to save a bit more first""I'll wait until the market settles""I'm not quite ready yet" These aren't just personal thoughts — they're a pattern. One we've seen hundreds of times. And it's not a strategy problem. It's not about the data, the plan, or the timing. It's the inner game. In this episode, we dive into why so many smart, capable people stay stuck on the edge of investing — and what actually moves the needle. We unpack the psychology of waiting, the emotional loops that masquerade as logic, and how to break free from a mindset that keeps you on pause. We pull apart: The real reasons smart people stall, even when the strategy is sound The mindset patterns we've seen keep people stuck in planning purgatory How to tell when your 'caution' is actually avoidance A better question than "Should I invest now?" How to start moving — even if you're not 100% sure See you on the inside, WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/live/cHKxGK5O3W4?si=iZZwg7AcDpXlLV57 IMPORTANT: The Investor Lab is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

    Bitcoin: Why Every Property Investor Needs to Consider Owning It

    You already know that property is one of the best ways to build and protect wealth — that’s why you’re here. But here’s the thing: our money is broken. Governments keep printing more of it, eroding its value, and making it harder for everyday investors to get ahead. Property has been a tried-and-true hedge against this for centuries… But what if I told you there’s another asset that solves the exact same problem, but is more scarce, more portable, and more accessible to everyday investors? Bitcoin. In this week's episode, we dive deep into why every property investor should consider owning Bitcoin and what happens when these two worlds — real estate and digital property — collide. Here’s what we cover: The fundamentals of Bitcoin and why it matters more than ever. Why every property investor should own Bitcoin as part of their portfolio. How and why Bitcoin is could reach $1 million per coin by 2030. Real estate is scarce. Bitcoin is even scarcer — with only 21 million coins ever to exist. While governments can (and will) keep inflating the money supply, nobody can create more Bitcoin or land. If you’re serious about wealth preservation, you need to understand both. This episode could reshape how you think about wealth preservation in the digital age.

    Is flipping properties the secret to building wealth? Or is the buy-and-hold strategy the key to long-term success? Mathew Russo thinks he has the answer. A seasoned builder turned property investor, Mat started with renovations and flips, leveraging his construction background to chase big profits. The returns were rewarding, but the 24-hour workdays and constant hustle? Not so much. When their family grew, Mat and his wife knew they had to shift gears. With Dashdot’s help, they adopted a buy-and-hold strategy, securing a property in Bunbury, WA, that gained over $100K in equity within a year. Now, Mat’s growing his portfolio while balancing family dinners, running a business, and keeping his sanity intact. So, if you’ve been wondering whether flipping or holding is the better path to financial freedom, Mat’s hard-earned insights are a must-hear.

    Ever feel like you're navigating the property market blindfolded?  You're not alone.  Claire Westra, our guest on Dashdot Insider, has been there.  She went all-in on a DIY approach, thinking she could handle it solo—until she found herself frustrated with a property in Toowoomba that sat stagnant for a whole year.  Her first property investment in Brisbane brought some early success, but when the stock market crash hit, it made her rethink everything. That's when she realised the real cost of relying on emotions and outdated market data. Claire found Dashdot, and suddenly, everything changed.  Using predictive data and a team of experts, she stopped guessing and started investing. Her goals shifted, too—from dreaming of a forever home to focusing on building a life that gave her freedom. She's now well on track to early retirement with a thriving portfolio. Claire's advice? Don't go it alone. Get yourself a team—solid professionals who can guide you through the ups and downs. And be open to new strategies, like rent-vesting or even Airbnb.  She's learned that with the right support, those big, scary goals start to look a whole lot more achievable.

And today we're lifting the lid on just how broken the system is, and more importantly, what you need to do.  You see, now, more than ever, it's simply impossible to save your way to wealth.  Imagine being able to save upwards of $60K a year and the properties in today's market are still running away from you.

The way banks lend money without sufficient reserves is a ticking time bomb.  In this episode of the Dashdot Insider, Goose pulls no punches in venting his frustration at our debt-based monetary system and its impact on property investing. Join us as Goose and Emil break down how this system creates an unfair scenario where the rich get richer simply by understanding and playing the game better. And if you want strategies on how to secure your financial future in a system that's set up to work against you, then keep watching ‘til the end.  Remember: in a world where the money game feels like a puzzle, being savvy about your investments is key to staying ahead.

Well, for starters, we've got models all powered by machine-learning algorithms.  We're talking about crunching numbers and zapping them with AI magic to predict prices 15 months down the road. We're talking confidence intervals, and predictions so accurate they put weather forecasts to shame. And did we mention the accuracy? Our models hit the bullseye within 1%, nearly 75% of the time. We're at 85% accuracy on predicting price shifts, and a whopping 98% on foreseeing the not-so-great ones. But we're not just about numbers and data.
