The 5 Biggest Mistakes Investors (And I) Make

I've got my good friend Michael Yardney on the show 🎙️, because there's a lot to be worried about everywhere we look at the moment 🤔, potentially.

And Michael's been through over four decades of investing ⏳, seen a lot of these things come up in different ways, shapes and forms before. So I wanted to get him on to give us some larger perspective 📊 as to what we should be worried about and what we shouldn't.

But it also raises an important question ❓

What if the biggest headlines worrying investors right now are actually creating the next wave of opportunity 🚀?

Interest rate rises 📈
Capital gains tax reform discussions 💰
Political uncertainty 🏛️
Global economic noise 🌍

Everywhere you look 👀, there seems to be another reason to pause or panic 😬.

So in this episode 🎧, Michael and I unpack what rising interest rates 📊 and potential CGT changes could really mean for Australian property investors 🏡 heading into 2026 📆.

Rather than reacting to short term news 📰, we talk about how experienced investors are positioning themselves for the next phase of the property cycle 🔄 and why periods of uncertainty can often create the best opportunities 💡.

If you're trying to make sense of what's really happening beneath the headlines 🧠 and how to make smarter investment decisions in today's market 💼, you're going to get a lot out of this conversation.

Timing the Market: When Should Property Investors Sell?

Most people say they want life-changing wealth.

Very few are willing to pay the price.

Not financially.

Personally.

Because wealth isn’t just built with money…
It’s built with trade-offs.

Time.
Focus.
Relationships.
Comfort.
Ego.
Patience.

And the hardest part?

There’s a long stretch where you sacrifice…
And nothing seems to happen.

In this episode, I share some truths I wish someone had told me earlier — including a question that completely changed who I listened to and who I didn’t.

If you’ve ever felt pulled between building something bigger and keeping everything balanced…

You’ll want to hear this.
