    Why Most Australians Never Buy A Second Investment Property | Mia Shilkin - EP165

    Property investing isn’t about buying houses, it’s about creating choices. Mia Shilkin’s journey from drug and alcohol counselling to becoming one of Australia’s most values-driven property investment strategists reveals how wealth creation starts long before you purchase your first asset. You’ll learn why mindset matters more than market timing, how to approach investing with clarity, and why financial freedom is really about having more choices.   -   Get in touch with Mia Shilkin - https://www.miacasastrategy.com.au   -   Mia Shilkin’s Quick Fire Answers   What does success mean to you? “Success means choice. It’s not an emotion, it’s a structure. It allows me to make decisions based on my hard work without having to second guess them.”   What does happiness mean to you? “Happiness is the enjoyment I get out of those choices. It’s being able to make a cup of tea and watch the mountain outside my house without having to check emails.”   What’s your normal morning routine these days? “Exercise, grounding, drinking water first thing, and keeping my phone off. I focus on getting 1% better every day.”   What piece of advice would you put on a billboard for the world to see? “Stop worrying about what other people think of you.”   Who would you suggest as a future guest on the show? “James Yates or Mark Pridmore from Free Song Records.”   -   Listen To The Podcast https://pod.link/1683066164?view=apps&sort=popularity   -   Find Us On Social Media https://www.instagram.com/sxhpod   -   Chapters   (00:00:00) - Introduction   (00:00:43) – Chapter 1 | From Counselling to Property Strategy   (00:11:35) – Chapter 2 | Building Wealth Through Purposeful Investing   (00:30:14) – Chapter 3 | Financial Freedom, Choice & The Future of Property   (00:42:52) - Quick Fire Questions   (00:46:20) - Outro   -   #podcast #propertyinvesting #financialfreedom
