The four things that make me good at what I do.

Communication – I ring when I say I will and reply to emails in a timely manner. I speak in plain English rather than accounting speak.

Timeliness – I get your work done in a timely manner. Individual tax returns are generally done in less than 2 weeks (there are exceptions to this though). SMSF are generally done within 4 weeks.

Listening/Compassion – I listen and have compassion for your individual needs, I don’t just assume I know what you need from me.

Technical Knowledge – I have been in the industry a long time so am extremely knowledgeable. I can get you the best result (i.e., highest refund) but will always ensure I stay within the law.

Now more than ever, it's harder for to manage their finances. I was interviewed recently about how to get started with a - even if you have a fear of your own finances.

From getting clear on your goals to having time on your side, here are the five things I learnt when visiting a financial advisor.

21/01/2022

Do you know what your financial advisor is talking about?!

We know from working with our clients that many have had bad experiences from working with other advisors. Common tactics are:

➡️Confusing you with jargon
➡️Speaking arrogantly as an "expert"
➡️Not clearly explaining what the advice actually means in the real world

We are not that advisor. And we never will be.

We love that all our clients are unique and one-size just fits you and your family.

We're stoked that you want to know more and understand how your advice works to protect you, your family and your future.

That's why we have ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google reviews and a whole portfolio of happy and knowledgable clients, like Katrina 😁

We're super excited to welcome all our newest Wealthy Selfer's to the family! Winston is pretty excited too 🐶🤣

At we LOVE working with ambitious, like-minded young professionals who are just SMASHING their life, business and career goals! We had the pleasure of working with Alyce, founder of .copywriting and now we're all super excited for her 👩‍💻

"I came to David looking to get in financial shape. I’ve worked with a financial adviser before and to be honest, they didn't come close to David at Wealthy Self. He has a realistic approach that still allows young professionals to reach their goals. David is so down-to-earth, easy to talk to and now I feel SO much more in control, motivated to save and excited for what's to come!" - Alyce

Thanks for your trust, ambition and awesome words Alyce!

How does money make YOU feel?

A healthy mindset is so important to feel calm and in control of different areas of your life - and money can certainly trigger stress.
Heather, our Digital & Communications Manager (plus resident coach!) shares her deep-diving tips with Your Money and Your Life to explore your own money mindset so you can feel calmer and more in control of your situation.

Creating a healthy money mindset comes from first understanding and developing a good relationship with money. Take these steps to get there.

At Wealthy Self we love working with our clients! I recently chatted with Money Management about how we make financial planning accessible and affordable for millennials.

With a significant generational wealth transfer on the horizon, wealth managers and financial advisers will have to adapt their business models to take advantage, writes Laura Dew.

From Backpacks to Babies...

17 years ago I picked up my first backpack and took off to the other side of the world. I explored the (pub) life in London and Edinburgh for a couple of years before ticking off nearly every country in Europe. I lived out of my backpack and loved every minute of it...
..fast forward to 2021 and life couldn't be more different. Not being able to travel, of course, we're now exploring QLD with my bubba on my back - in a baby backpack! And I'm still loving every minute of it!

As Millennials and Gen Ys, we really get our clients dreams and goals - and how they change as you grow. Because we're going through it all together too.

We know that at the moment, so many of our Wealthy Self clients and community are still in lockdown and travelling is a distant dream...keeping families (like ours) apart from loved ones overseas and interstate. Keeping our travel dreams on hold to an undisclosed date.😭

But whilst we're living with uncertainty, there is one thing I know for certain...how important it is to plan for your financial future, so when life opens up again, you're on track to smash your life goals 🐶🏡💰🔑💍👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🚵‍♀️👶😻🏝✈

➡️ Our September calendar is open for your FREE 30 minute Discovery Chat with David.

In your chat we'll discuss:

➡️ Your life goals
➡️ Where you are financially now
➡️ Where you want to be
➡️ How we can help you grow your 💰

Sound good? Book your FREE Discovery Chat through the link on our Insta bio or visit wealthyself.com.au today!

Super stoked to be interviewed this week for Financial Review piece on Square's acquisition of Afterpay. I share my thoughts on what you could do, if you currently hold Afterpay shares and are unsure if you should hold on or sell them.

It's behind a pay wall, but check it below:

Faced with the prospect of a scrip-for-scrip buyout of the buy now, pay later stock, investors are wondering whether they should hit, stay or fold.
