Why Scott built the room he wished he'd had
Scott's father did everything he was told: school, university, financial director, taxes paid, money saved. It still wasn't enough to set him free. At 59, he died broke. Scott set out to find a better way, and to share it.
Building alongside his dad
Long before the book, the building sites and the investors, this is where it started.
A sweeper's contract and a note from home
In 1999 Scott signed on as a labourer, a sweeper, on a London building site for £5 an hour. Two years later his parents sent him Rich Dad Poor Dad, with a note he still keeps. It set him on the path from employee to investor.
From labourer to global investor
Scott learnt from some of the world's best investors and entrepreneurs, invested across continents and wrote it down in his book, Property Going Global. His biggest lesson: the wealthy never try to do it alone.
Why it's called Wealth Hackers
On Necker Island every entrepreneur brought a "life hack" to share, and everyone moved faster with the hacks on the table. So Scott built his community like a hackathon: people from around the world working on the same problem, wealth, sharing what works so everyone gets there faster and more simply.
Sharing the stage with Robert Kiyosaki
The labourer who read Rich Dad Poor Dad went on to share local and international stages with the man who wrote it, and joined his Investor Inner Circle. The lesson Scott brought back for members: proximity is power.
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
That's the whole idea behind Wealth Hackers. You don't have to work out your money alone, late at night, from whatever you can find online.
