As I said in my article over the weekend. I’m on a quest to help three people: Andre, you and me! And you came through! But Andre still needs your help!

Here’s the story in a nutshell.

I have a colleague called Andre who has been a powerful force for driving our big innovation — Switzer TV. I want to reward him by helping him achieve his goal and that’s why I’m appealing to you to help me help Andre!

Yep, I’m asking for what is really a new age sale. When free websites like Switzer Daily give you information, the implied price is your eyes and your time, which then can be seen as valuable by advertisers, sponsors and so on.

I’d love our website to be ad-free but we do employ a lot of people and we’re not a taxpayer-funded like the ABC. And anyway, even Aunty runs ads for all of their stuff, including the magazine Gardening Australia.

Andre has a goal to get 15,000 subscribers to our Switzer TV show by the end of 2020. Right now, he’s trending higher each week and is now at nearly 13,000. I’d love him get to 15,000 by Christmas — it would be a nice gift.

Oh, by the way, it’s a win-win gift, as our Switzer TV Investing programme has thrown out some great stock market tips as we have some of the smartest share assessors in the country on our Monday night show.

OK, I know I’m selling but it’s for good causes — Andre’s goal, your potential to get wealthier and the success of my site! That’s win-win-win and you have to love that.

One thing I learnt when I started teaching at the age of 21was that I was in the sales game. If I didn’t come to class with something that would grab those potential teacher-killers’ attention, it was going to be a damn hard 40 minutes in that classroom, that was going to be a great excuse for getting sloshed after I escaped the school grounds at 4pm!

Fortunately I learnt this lesson quickly being the competitive so and so that I am. And as a consequence, I avoided a drinking problem, unlike a lot of other teachers.

When we started our financial planning business, our goal was to be the most honest and helpful assistant to our future clients in achieving their money goals. The whole advice business is goal-dependent and the first important question we ask our possible client is: “What are your goals?” Next comes this question: are you on track to achieve these goals? And if they’re not, that’s where we come in with a plan to do exactly that.

Thankfully, most of the people reading this have read my stuff before and you know I’m in the information/advice giving business and I’ve been a big giver for decades. So I have no problem asking you for the business. And if you don’t want to do it for me, at least do it for Andre and yourself!

Switzer TV (both the investing and property show) will give you insights that will help you get richer, which is a pretty useful gift!
