At one of our exclusive client events, the dynamic Matt Bazzica of Futurevest shared his wisdom and how transforming how we think can change our approach to wealth creation. 

A Financial Advisor’s Key Lessons: Think Big, Act Strategically 

With 20+ years of experience, Matt has a remarkable ability to break down complex financial strategies into simple, actionable steps. His approach empowers individuals and families to confidently navigate their financial futures.  

At the event, Matt challenged attendees to think bigger and dream boldly. 

“Don’t settle for what you think you can achieve. Define what you truly want – whether it’s a holiday house, five investment properties, or a fishing boat – reverse engineer the steps required to get there,” Matt advised. 

Using a powerful analogy, he compared financial planning to anchoring a boat: “If one chain link is weak, the anchor fails, and the boat drifts. Every link in your financial plan matters.” 

Matt’s presentation encouraged the audience to critically evaluate their financial management by posing a thought-provoking question: 

“If you were the CEO of your finances, would you fire yourself or keep yourself on?” 

This analogy sparked introspection, pushing participants to reflect on their financial habits and accountability. 

Key Insights from Matt’s Session 

  1. Think Big, Plan Smart: Most people underestimate their potential because they aim too low. Matt urged the audience to dream big and then identify the practical steps to turn those dreams into reality. 
  1. Evaluate Your Financial Position: Matt emphasized the importance of understanding where you stand. He encouraged attendees to rate their superannuation, tax strategies, and financial goals on a scale of 1 to 10, identifying areas for improvement. 
  2. The Power of Compound Interest: Highlighting the simplicity of consistent saving, Matt shared a compelling example: “An 8-10% return can compound into over a million dollars by age 65. Small, smart investments now, can lead to significant gains later.” 
  3. The Importance of Financial Education: “We don’t learn this in school,” Matt said, stressing the need for financial literacy. He also reminded parents in the room of their role in passing this knowledge to their children, ensuring future generations are better equipped. 
  4. Don’t Procrastinate on Essentials: Matt warned against neglecting critical steps like creating a will or securing adequate insurance, noting that many overlook these vital components of financial planning.
