We may be out of the woods, but we’re not home-free.🏡 In this week’s Shared Lunch, independent economist Tony Alexander looks at the forecast for the national economy and urges caution and patience. Tony predicts that there’s still some pain to come for business owners and that challenges remain for property—but he also tells us which sectors are starting to perk up. There’s still plenty of uncertainty in the air, especially with all the global political drama (looking at you, US elections). But overall, Tony’s cautiously optimistic. Discover where our economy may be looking promising—and what remains tenuous—in the latest Shared Lunch. 💚Spotify:https://lnkd.in/g7Z8Y-td 🍎Apple: https://lnkd.in/gHd9q9N6 📺YouTube: https://lnkd.in/g-7Kr4Fc Shared Lunch is brought to you by Sharesies. Appearance on Shared Lunch is not an endorsement by Sharesies of the views of the presenters, guests, or the entities they represent.

🧐 Overthinking your investing? Are you stuck in analysis paralysis, waiting for the perfect investment time, or letting fear hold you back? You're not alone! In this week's SHared Lunch episode, we’re joined by accountant and grassroots financial educator Luke Kemeys (CA) (Keep The Change NZ), who shares the five biggest blockers to growing your wealth– and how to overcome them. 💡From the importance of goal-setting to embracing imperfection, Luke reminds us that investing isn't about being perfect–it's about starting small, staying consistent, and thinking long-term. 🗣️“You’re never going to perfect it. You’re never going to time it. When you get stuck in analysis paralysis, you just have to have a chat with yourself and go: How realistic is this? And how long is it going to hold me back from moving forward in my life?” 🎧Tune in for practical tips on breaking through procrastination, simplifying your strategy, and taking those first steps toward building wealth. 💚Spotify:https://lnkd.in/gRbitdVk 🍎Apple: https://lnkd.in/gTBAEhQX 📺YouTube: https://lnkd.in/ggf22viB Shared Lunch is brought to you by Sharesies. Appearance on Shared Lunch is not an endorsement by Sharesies of the views of the presenters, guests, or the entities they represent.
