World gone Mad – Let’ s Focus on the Good!
The world is driven by sentiment sometimes to the point where we think the world and its people have gone mad. Politicians have been dominating the media recently some with negative views and even disturbing policies. World economies are going through challenging times with Brexit, appointment of Trump contrary to the polls, shaky Chinese markets and a European refugee crisis. In South Africa we have our own set of political and economic challenges. We know without problems we cannot grow as individuals or as a nation.
Emotions are high and the bad news flow says markets will crash, interest rates will go up, real estate will go down, currencies will fluctuate and we are still in for more tough times. Uncertain times have opened the window for those with the knowledge to grow their health, wealth and happiness exponentially. Heard that before, read all about how you can manage this sentiment inside the pages of Real Estate Investor, our website and events.
