Les Western-Russell

Les was born and educated in Wanganui NZ, he spent a number of years racing saloon cars (working three jobs for the money), established NZ’s first off-road saloon car track and wrote and coordinated a monthly motoring page. During his OE he ski’d professionally at some of the world’s top ski resorts.

Returning to NZ he entered broadcasting as a D.J. assisted in the establishment of a closed circuit radio network at the Waikato Hospital and became programmes manager to a number of Nth Island stations. Competing in sport at National levels in dirt bike racing, water skiing, scuba diving he also obtained senior ranks in three styles of martial arts.

It was during this time he heard the words from Dale Carnegie which were to change his life: “Help as many as you can to get what they want in life and you’ll need suitcases to carry your money to the bank”. Holding a NZFFBS certificate and charging no fee, Les spent a number of years in South Auckland teaching money management, budgeting and wealth creation to the new immigrants. As a result a number of these families now own multiple investment properties.

Les runs his own joint venture companies in finance broking, property management, property investment and property development. He is passionate about creating wealth for families through property investment. After all as Multi-millionaire author Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad’s Retire Young, Retire Rich) states: “In property, I can make money, and the Government will let me count it as a loss of money. The Government gives me a tax breaks on my gains rather than making me pay taxes on my capital gains.”

The other clues you get as to why property is such outstanding investments are: Over 90% of the worlds millionaires made their wealth through prudent property investment, and as Les says “You don’t have to be wealthy to invest, but you do need to invest to be wealthy...it’s a no-brainer really”
