Retiring without enough income is a terrifying prospect for most people.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to build consistent income over time, stories like this 15-year journey to trading consistency show what’s possible with persistence.

But would you be worried about retiring if your investment income was $518k for the past 6 months?

We’ve seen traders achieve similar breakthroughs, like turning setbacks into $200k in trading income through disciplined strategies.

Grab a glass of water, cup of tea or something a little stronger and sit back and enjoy this incredible interview.

Meeting and presenting the Australian Investment Education Trader of The Year is one of my most satisfying aspects of my year.

This year’s very deserving recipients earned this coveted award for so many reasons:

They started early and got the job done – huge message there!

That same early commitment is what drives results like a $300k year built on trading discipline and consistency.

They work hand in glove as a couple forming a seamless team. They pushed through obstacles that would have crushed most people.

They are 100% accountable, being part of an exclusive group who send me their results each and every month.

What’s more their time commitment to building this great income is literally a couple of hours a week (calculate their hourly rate!).

They have traded from some insane places, whether that be the middle of the South Atlantic on route to Antarctica, the Gobi Desert or even from a tent in the Serengeti!

What sort of results are we talking?

  • Calendar Year 2023 $266k profit or 12% vs a market that delivered 8%·
  • A Santa Rally profit of $518k from initial MV of $2.744m over 6 months = 38% annualised·
  • A Year To Date profit of $230k from initial MV of $2.728m over 4 months = 25% annualised

Please join me in most sincerely congratulating Stuart and Jill Garrett, a husband-and-wife team, on their magnificent achievements, particularly their receiving the Australian Investment Education Trader of the Year 2023.

Great job guys – a huge accomplishment and one of the many that have made up your journey.
