The One-Page Investing Plan: How to Get Started the Right Way

Learn the essentials of investing for beginners, the importance of a clear investment plan that keeps you focused on your financial goals regardless of market noise, and learn share market basics to refine your current stock market strategy. Scott Phillips is the Chief Investment Officer at Motley Fool Australia. We talk about his new book The One‑Page Investing Plan. Scott explains why investing feels complex, how to strip it back to what matters, and why compounding only reveals its magic decades down the track. This episode covers risk, behavioural traps, index investing, direct shares, and the mindset required to stay invested through the valley of death. Scott also shares his “last double” compounding concept, the importance of starting early, his $2M investing mistake. Here's a link to find the book on Booktopia.
