Chapter 1 - Introduction

How we educate people to identify and follow their dreams.
How we can collectively provide the financial tools to help increase your wealth.

Chapter 2 Financial Freedom

This chapter helps you expand your vision, identify what makes your heart sing, and begin to identify where you want to be. It helps you establish what financial freedom means to you in all areas of your life. You need to know where you want to go and what you want to be, so it is important that you are consciously aware of the endless possibilities and keep your heart and mind open to receive them. This is about removing al barriers and dreaming like a child.

Chapter 3 Now

This chapter requires interaction - what is your monthly income and what do your expenses cover on a monthly basis? How much do you have left over after all of your expenses have been paid? You will need to identify your assets, associated liabilities and the categories of assets that they comprise. You will be examining your current skills, available time, and existing current income flows. You need to know where you are now so that you know where you are able to go.

Chapter 4 Where and When

You will be getting more specific about your goals in this chapter. You've identified your dreams using your dreams/vision board, so now you need to work out what your goals are. Your dreams need numbers, so you'll discover how to determine the dollars anticipated to zoom to your state of financial freedom in your desired timeframe.

Chapter 5 How

Discussing the HOW to get to your financial freedom defines the strategies which, when implemented, will determine the appearance of your investment portfolio. Strategies will be influenced by your passion, your available time, and the asset classes that interest you, together with your perception of investment risk. Pervading those influences is whether you are a passive or active investor.

Chapter 6 Structuring Effectively

Here we look for a number of parameters comprising asset protection, future estate planning, and flexibility, and if there is a tax benefit we take it. We never structure solely for tax as legislation is constantly changing and what is planned for today can change tomorrow and make it completely ineffective.

As this chapter assumes a certain level of knowledge about trusts and their uses, it only briefly discusses asset protection. Rather the focus is to illustrate effective tax strategies to be implemented in conjunction with your investment portfolio.

Chapter 7 Superannuation

Every investment portfolio at some point should encompass superannuation. Whether a retail fund or one that is self managed will depend on a number of issues. This chapter dives into some exciting strategies for investing using your self managed superannuation fund no matter what your age. Nature doesn't have to be dyeing your hair before your can take advantage of the tax concessional environment. Creative use of existing and future trusts in JV arrangements enables access to projects otherwise unattainable.

Chapter 8 Mindset

Remember the seminar junkie? Don't feel bad if you identify yourself as one - it's the first step in freeing yourself from limiting financial beliefs. In this chapter you may stumble on some blockages that are preventing you from perceiving, receiving and being that which is truly you. There are oodles of examples showing the most common limiting financial beliefs to which you may feel an immediate affinity. Work through this chapter carefully, as the next chapter introduces several modalities to smash these limiting belief systems.

Chapter 9 Tools

We have been exploring the many modalities that can asist you in changing your mindset. Once you have identified your limiting beliefs, the next step is to remove them from your abundance blueprint. You no longer want those beliefs as they don't serve you. Prosperity consciousness, affirmations, Emotional Freedom Techniques and feeling wealthy are some of the modalities we have found that work in breaking out of the old patterns and into financial freedom.
