This week on the podcast, Sam Gordon is accompanied by Jimmy Ibrahim and Luke Teeuwsen to delve into the Australian Property Scout mission of retiring 500 by 2030. The trio discusses the metrics involved with setting and managing the goal along with the essence of retirement and what it means to each client. Sam shares insights into what his initial goals were when he first began in property, how he reached them, and offers advice on the importance of resetting and pursuing goals persistently, something he has practised himself numerous times.Sam, Luke and Jimmy explore the reasoning behind choosing an ethical and sustainable goal rather than an arbitrarily grand one. They discuss the importance of taking the first step of the journey and celebrating each little step along the way, rather than postponing happiness until the ultimate goal is reached. This episode totally highlights the passion and care everyone in APS has for their clients, and in turn this mission.Don’t forget there’s a special discount for Sammy Gordon’s School of Property for our Scouting Australia Podcast listeners, use the code SAP for the 10%  discount.

Sammy Gordon welcomes a special guest and long time friend to the studio this week: Leon Cusack. Leon's story is incredibly inspiring from a childhood with parents who sacrificed everything for himself and his siblings, to his pivotal light bulb moment after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, and his discipline to commit to his strategy whole heartedly. Over the span of 4 years, Leon has built an impressive $2.5 million property portfolio, with a huge $1 million in equity. Leon and Sam reflect on the beginnings of their friendship playing soccer as young kids, and the reason that Leon decided property investment would be his vehicle to create wealth. Leon's pure dedication and determination is clear at every point in his story, and his commitment to the speed at which he is growing his portfolio and the clear trajectory that he is on is contagious.   If you enjoyed this episode, please write in and let us know!

Sam Gordon welcomes a special guest to the studio this week: Jake McGregor, a close friend and Buyers Agent at Australian Property Scout. Jake’s story is incredibly inspiring from a pivotal moment in high school that set off a fire in his belly, to overcoming a $52k loss and turning it into a triple win with his next investment. Over the span of 7 years, Jake has built an impressive $4 million property portfolio, with a huge $1.6 million in equity. Jake and Sam reflect on the beginnings of Jake’s investment journey earning $9 an hour as an apprentice plumber, influenced and encouraged greatly by his parent’s own journey and hard work. Jake’s pure grit and determination is clear at every point in his story, and it’s obvious in his success how resilient and focussed he has remained and the challenges he's overcome.  Please let us know what you think of our new segment at the end, and whether you’d like to continue seeing this 🔥😉 Join us on Saturday, April 13th in the Gold Coast for our inaugural LIVE Australian Property Scout End of Quarter Summit.

It's probably a question we get asked at least 5 times a week so in today's ep we're going to cover: Lessons on government loan schemes such as the (first home buyer schemes).
