Aussie finance guru's disposable income tips
An Australian property investing expert has left thousands of his followers bemused after a seemingly innocent post about looking forward to babysitting his granddaughter morphed into advice on working hard to build wealth. Scott Kuru, founder and CEO of Freedom Property Investors, posted an image of a portable baby cot, change mat and play area to his company's Facebook page on August 1. The image showed all the gear next to a window overlooking Sydney Harbour Bridge. Kuru started the post by describing how his granddaughter would be staying with him during the week. 'I was able to go out and buy a set of baby stuff to accommodate her and keep her safe happy and comfy. Made it super easy for her parents,' the post read. What appeared to be the excitement of a doting grandfather quickly turned into a philosophical line of thinking about money and advice for Australians to build their own wealth. 'Having the funds to do that is a true blessing. Yes, money is not everything. But it sure as hell gives (you) options and ability to make some really special moments happen,' the post continued. 'Remember, whether it's your career or property investment or your business it's gonna take 10 years of focused concentrated effort to make real gains. Plant seeds today and reap the blessings tomorrow.' Kuru's Facebook page has more than 32,000 followers and more than a few of them were happy to share their views on the property expert's advice to Aussies. 'Reminds me of the photos of people in car looking outside and happen to get the Rolex or Ferrari badge in the picture,' said Matthew Porch. 'Imagine being this much of a w**ker you turn an innocent post about your granddaughter into a flex,' Deb Leung said. 'Said from the penthouse overlooking the harbour and bridge,' Michelle Mancini said. 'This is what grandmothers do but don't need to post about. The audacity,' Michelle Wentworth said. Kuru founded Freedom Property Investors alongside business partner Lianna Pan. The duo utilise research data and insights to identify property locations in Australia they believe to be primes for growth. 'Scott has personally managed more than $4 billion in property transactions on behalf of over 10,000+ Freedom Members, helping them unlock wealth and financial freedom,' Freedom Property Investors' website reads.

Mark Cuban on How To Use Luck and Timing To Your Advantage
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban recently acknowledged that luck played a vital role in his success. In a recent Money Mint Media clip, he explained that he would have been just some other guy if he hadn't been alive at the right time to capitalize on the internet stock market mania. Read More: Try This: Great timing allowed Cuban to become a billionaire by selling to Yahoo. However, there were many people alive during the internet stock market boom, and not everyone became a billionaire. There's more to Cuban's story than luck, although it plays a key role. He mentioned some of the things that allowed him to capitalize on that opportunity when most people missed it. Work Harder Than the Competition Although Cuban was born at the right place and time, his ability to work hard allowed him to profit immensely from this timeframe. If you outwork your competition, you put yourself in a better position when once-in-a-lifetime opportunities become available. Working harder than the competition means putting in more hours, looking for ways to work smarter, and building your network. When you have a vast network, you learn about more opportunities and can get a head start on any venture. It's not easy to work long hours. Most people want to call it a day after coming home from a 9-to-5 job. Some people work a few extra hours after their regular job to launch a new business or get better career opportunities. Short-term pain often comes with long-term gain, but you can get yourself in trouble if you let short-term pleasures pull you away from long-term goals. Discover Next: Learn New Skills Cuban didn't start with his internet company and tech. In fact, it was quite the opposite. Cuban was originally a carpenter because his parents wanted him to learn a trade. He also had a bunch of side jobs before he became an entrepreneur. The only reason Cuban could make the pivot was that he was willing to learn new skills. Networking, outworking the competition, and discovering opportunities came later, but knowledge built the foundation that made everything else possible. It's easier than ever to learn new skills. You can read books and articles, watch training courses and videos, and listen to podcasts and audiobooks about the skill that you want to learn. If you build your knowledge each day, you will be prepared when a lucky moment comes your way. You Will Make Mistakes Everyone makes mistakes in life, and the same truth applies to billionaire entrepreneurs. Cuban had setbacks before getting his big break, and he continues to make the occasional stumble to this day. However, you can't let your mistakes define you. Your ability to rebound from mistakes will help you profit from luck and good timing. Many people were born at a similar time to you who also lived in the right place and had good support growing up. Some of those people don't take big risks after mistakes add up, while others take reckless risks instead of calculated risks. Short-term blunders don't have to define long-term results. Continuing to put in the work while expanding your knowledge can get you closer to your lucky break.

Gridiron Boot Camp: Buckeye Trail football builds brotherhood with 'Military Games'
OLD WASHINGTON −The July heat isn't the only thing cranking up the intensity for the Buckeye Trail High School football team as they prepare for a new season on the gridiron. Trail head coach Donnie Kerns has set about trying to mold his players into an cohesive, tough and hard working unit, and has split his Warriors' squad into four separate "military-style" teams for a unique "Military Games" competition. Those four squads, the Scout Snipers, Navy Seals, Green Berets and Force Recon have been waging daily battles in a Military Games series of competitive athletic events such as tug of war, relay races with players carrying weights, and others drills specifically designed to challenge them both mentally and physically. Each day in July, the teams face off in these various challenges that test physical strength, mental toughness, and the ability to work as a team to accomplish a goal. Traits that will hopefully lead to some successful Friday nights this upcoming fall. "Anytime we have a chance to breed competition we want to do that," Kerns said. "Football is not an easy game, and I tell the kids its not for everybody. It's a lot of hard work and comes with a lot of responsibilities, expectations and requires lots of sacrifice from the players." "Sometimes in summer workouts it gets a little dry and kind of complacent almost," the Trail head coach continued. "But since we started the Military Games here in July, it's been super intense and the kids have just been getting after it with everything they have. They battle every day, and it just brings out the best in all of them." A helping hand from veteran football coach Kerns credits former Massillon Perry head coach Keith Wakefield for the idea about putting in the Military Games program into his off-season workout schedule. "A few years ago coach Keith Wakefield came in and gave us the idea, and helped us get started," Kerns said. "It was an idea that he brought about the values, hard work, and the grit that our military forces show every day.- And we kind of emulate that into our football team with this program." "By no means at the same level as our military forces," Kerns added. "We just want to take some of their work ethic, ability to battle through hard times and a strong working together mentality. Coach Wakefield was a highly successful coach at Massillon Perry High School. Who I would venture to say was one of the best football coaches in Ohio." Kerns mentioned that both legendary college football coaches Nick Saban and Urban Meyer both included military style workouts within their highly successful football programs. "Heck if it's good enough for Urban Meyer and Nick Saban, I think it's good enough for Donnie Kerns and the Buckeye Trail Warriors," Kerns joked. "So maybe we are on the right track by implementing this into our program. Just like the military, it builds a brotherhood among the players by pulling together towards a common goal." Senior captains confident Military Games can aide return to playoffs Buckeye Trail is coming off a strong 6-4 regular season a year ago that earned the Warriors a berth into the Ohio High School Athletic Association postseason. And despite dropping a hard fought 30-22 first round setback to Fort Frye, the Warriors have their sights set on a return trip to the OHSAA playoffs. A pair of Buckeye Trail seniors, 4-year lettermen fullback/outside linebacker Mason Todd and wide receiver/cornerback Sammy Brown are convinced that hard work being done with July's military games workload will help the Warriors return to OHSAA postseason action. "We are building a really strong brotherhood with our military game workouts," Todd, who serves as the captain of the Navy Seals squad said. "My teammates are pushing me and getting the best out of me with our tough competitions. I think this will really show up in tight games, knowing we have each others back. And will pull together to get those wins on Friday nights." "It's kind of sad this is my last year with being a senior," Todd added. "And I want to make it the best year we can. And I think our military games experience can make a difference for us. It gives us a huge advantage over our opponents by already pushing through the adversity of these intense, physical battles we are going through now." In addition to the playoffs, Brown, the captain of the Scout Snipers team pointed out another Warriors' goal this season of wanting to add a championship season in the always tough Inter-Valley Conference. "We want to win the IVC this season, and then make a return trip to the playoffs," Brown said. "And I think these workouts have helped us push each other to our limits. By going through these together, gives us confidence we can lean on each other. And know nobody is going to quit when it gets tough on Friday nights." Military games champion already decided?? Despite the Military Games competition continuing until Friday, July 25th, a confident Todd feels a champion has already been decided. "My team and it's not even close," Todd said with a big smile when asked about who was leading the way atop the leaderboard. "We've got it wrapped up already." Kerns explained whichever squad takes the title will receive some sort of award that has yet to be decided. Maybe with a pizza party, or special Military Games championship shirts or pullovers. But Kerns feels his entire team will be winners having gone through the experience. "It's just been a great thing for our entire team," Kerns said. "Everybody wins by all of them getting stronger, tougher and forming a great brotherhood with each other. It's been a truly rewarding experience for our entire program, and we are excited for the upcoming season."

Military Games will be what we do in July every year as long as I'm the head football coach here at Buckeye Trail. I'm a believer in the benefits it brings to our team." Buckeye Trail travels to Caldwell to open the new season on Friday, August 22nd, 7 p.m. KSutton1@ X: @KSuttonDJSports; Instagram: kevinsutton_dailyjeffsports This article originally appeared on The Daily Jeffersonian: Buckeye Trail football embraces hard work, mental toughness with Military Games program
