    My story...

    I had 2 properties in my early 20's which due to not realising the opportunity sold up and used the cash to fund travelling overseas for a year (amongst other irresponsible although life learning experiences).
    Came back into investing a little after my mid 20's only to get stung by trusting the wrong people and not putting the time into my own education.

    Looking back at this point I felt I had wasted so many opportunities and found it extremely frustrating, demotivating and depressing.
    After some releasing of this negative energy, I made a decision to use these 'mistakes' as fuel to succeed. I educated myself, spoke to people who walked the path and started to think more about what I wanted in life.

    Fast forward to 30, I had a set of life goals (which included building wealth through property) fuelled by my determination to succeed. Now with a deposit saved, I purchased a property in the view to accumulate and execute my goals.

    Over the last 5 years I have managed to buy 8 properties in Sydney, Brisbane & Adelaide and feel confident I'm on the right track to succeed in reaching my goals.

    Looking back and seeing the journey I've taken up to where I am now I'm pumped for what the future holds.
    The most important things for me were to learn from my 'mistakes', educate, set a plan and believe I can achieve it.

    Scotty

    Well done Scotty, love the way you learnt from the mistakes and used it as motivation rather than let them bring you down.
