Keep The Change

ASB just dropped a number that made me look twice to see if it was right. They say that ‘households will likelThat’s hard enough for most people. But then an accountant like me says no you don’t. You need MORE! Because that $55 a week is after-tax money.y face a $55 per week increase in the cost of living over 2026'. Let's explore how that works.

Just when it felt like things were improving, here we go again. Multiple conversations I had over the week cited the same thing. People back in fear. People delaying decision making. People not wanting to invest or take out debt. Business confidence has tanked quickly too! Inside my business I’ve noticed business planning inquiry drop. It’s hard to plan for 12 months' time when you can’t see certainty in front of you. And all of this before things REALLY change for NZers.

Chloe McKnight sells businesses and sees the same patterns: the businesses that sell well are organised, have systems, and can prove consistent income. The ones that struggle are hoping someone will pay for their potential.

She's seen young people selling e-commerce empires they built as side hustles, and baby boomers shocked their 30-year business isn't worth what they thought.

We cover vendor finance deals, why banks are getting more flexible with business lending, and how most people leave selling too late and end up accepting whatever they can get.

Mikey and I have both become millionaires through building million dollar businesses alongside traditional investments.

Mikey left a million-dollar income to start Guardian and is only just coming out the other side after four years, whilst Ive grown my accounting & advisory firm alongside my business partner to $2m/year in revenue. We cover the valley every entrepreneur faces, why most people quit when things get hard, and how believing in something for a decade changes everything.

We cover why speed beats perfection, the resilience required to build something meaningful, and how both their businesses reward them for the risk they're taking. Plus the mindset shift from thinking in months to thinking in decades, and why New Zealand is actually perfect for building wealth if you're willing to do the work.

It can still be done in New Zealand. You just have to be willing to do the hard work.

Most people are letting momentum and compounding work against them. They're compounding the wrong things... Debt, bad habits & negative thinking, instead of building momentum toward their goals.

Luke and Mikey break down why momentum is like compounding but for your daily life: once you get it rolling, things become easier, but you have to get your foot on the gas first. We cover the stages of momentum, why it's a cruel mistress that can turn on a dime, and how to harness it when it arrives.

In a country of so much negativity and doom and gloom, it's crucial to be around high energy and momentum. You can spot it in people who are building and creating.

Momentum is your most valuable asset. Are you building it or letting it work against you?
