Hey there!
This past weekend, my brother Mike and I had the opportunity to attend the Your Life Your Terms conference in Toronto.
The event was a gathering of minds focused on real estate investing, entrepreneurship, and navigating the changing economic landscape.
It was a culmination of a journey that began for me back in 2012 when I first stumbled upon the organizers while researching how to invest in real estate in Canada.
Back then, I downloaded a free report they were offering and started receiving their weekly emails. At first, I was tempted to unsubscribe, thinking it was just another newsletter cluttering my inbox.
But something about their content resonated with me, and I’m so glad I continued reading.
It was those emails that finally gave me the push I needed to take the leap into real estate investing. They helped me shift my mindset from viewing a rental property purchase as a risky move to realizing that not owning a cash-flowing hard asset was the real risk in the long run.
I was so inspired by their content that I shared it with my brother, Mike, who had a similar experience.
We both credit much of our success in real estate investing to the insights and motivation we gained from following these experts online.
Yet, despite the profound impact they had on our lives, we had never met them in person or attended any of their live events – until this past weekend.
Walking into the conference, I was struck by the energy in the room. Being surrounded by so many like-minded individuals, all eager to learn and grow, was a powerful experience in itself.
The presentations were informative and thought-provoking, touching on topics ranging from wealth-building strategies to the future of our economy.
One theme that emerged throughout the weekend was the idea that the world is changing, and the old rules no longer apply.
The traditional path of going to school, getting a job, saving money, and retiring comfortably is becoming increasingly unreliable in the face of economic volatility and technological disruption.
Several speakers highlighted the importance of adapting our mindsets and strategies to succeed in this new landscape.
They emphasized the need to continually educate ourselves, think critically about the information we consume, and be open to new opportunities.
As someone who has always sought out the wisdom of those smarter than myself, this resonated with me deeply.
I’ve never aimed to be the smartest person in the room, but rather to surround myself with those who can help me grow and challenge my assumptions.
While there may not be a one-size-fits-all formula for thriving in the new economy, I left the conference with a renewed conviction in the power of investing in hard assets such as real estate investing.
As we navigate a future likely to be characterized by persistent inflation and a devaluation of traditional currencies, owning tangible, cash-flowing assets will become increasingly crucial.
If you’re curious about how real estate investing could fit into your own wealth-building strategy, or if you’d like to learn more about the insights I gained from the conference, I’d love to chat.
To your success,
Vince
