PUBLISHERS FOREWORD
We all know that the South African and global economy are always changing at a rapid rate. September is the
start of a new season: Spring, a great time to get yourself focused to take action for the last part of the year. I have
attended more than 10 property and wealth events over the last two months to improve my own education
and personal economy, from IPD, NAC and Buy Below Market Value to our own Wealth Master Class with Donald
Trump Jnr. This is our annual Green Issue and we also look forward to the forthcoming inspirational Green
Building Council event in October.
Robert Kiyosaki says the type of education needed to make people wealthy is very different from the formal
education they got to make them become middle class. Real estate experts are all predicting upticks in business
and investors say this is the time to rebound in property. One caveat is that investors will only prosper and achieve
financial success if they are prepared to work on their own personal development and get out of their comfort
zones. Get dedicated to your education and financial freedom is within your sights.
