Did you have a listen into last week’s episode? I talked about Planning for 2024.  I spoke about 3 things to think about when it comes to planning for your 2024. Not really things you probably think, just, trust me, crucially important things to consider. If you haven’t already listened in, to and do so after this podcast! www.socialmediaandmarketing.com.au/269

My guest this week, Matt Raad is probably going to blow your mind. Our chat goes from looking at the assets in your business you never thought of as assets before, we talk about buying and selling online businesses and so much more.

Matt Raad has created financial freedom in his life, starting from zero and using a very unconventional method. Both he and his wife Liz Raad grew up on farms, but these days are website investors, which means they use digital assets to generate their cashflow and wealth. They were one of the first in the world to realise that they could buy websites, renovate them like real estate, and then sell or keep them for cashflow.

I have asked him to share his insights into his journey as a successful entrepreneur and full-time investor, starting out as a zoologist, buying his first business, raising a young family and having lots of great business adventures on the way!

This is such a timely and amazing discussion.  Moving into 2024 it is, hopefully, going to change the way you think about your business and perhaps even your financial investments.

So, let’s get into it – here’s my chat with Matt.

How good was that? Recording it and then relistening as I edited to put out really made me sit back and think about my assets, my businesses, my investment into business and websites and so much more.  If you want to tough base and learn more about Matt’s business, all the links are in the shownotes.
