Investing is easy. Staying invested is hard.

Glen James knows his WHY when it comes to investing and wants to help others do the same.

Because knowing your why will help you stay invested long-term.

Kate Campbell chats with Glen about some of the interesting insights from his new book, including the WHY behind his personal finance journey, how he invests right now, and how to stay invested (even when things get hard).

What’s your WHY? Here are some examples:

  • Get rich
  • Change your family’s financial path
  • Quit working ASAP
  • Increase your choices
  • Stop trading time for money
  • Provide for kids
  • Plan for a dignified retirement

Build wealth to fund your planned life. Don’t walk along aimlessly looking for wealth and money to create your life.

In his new book, The Quick-Start Guide to Investing: Learn How to Invest Simpler, Smarter and Sooner, Glen discusses everything from his 3-point plan for managing money to why it’s so important for us as Aussie investors to  ‘get off the island’.

Want to hear more from Glen? Listen to this episode he recorded with Owen last year on how he invests and the importance of looking after your mental health.
