Developing and refining our investment approach
Our own lifestyle is funded by investing and trading
From absolute beginner to advanced options trader
Most of us were taught how to earn money. Very few of us were taught how to make it work for us.
Perhaps you've spent years working hard, saving what you can and hoping it will be enough.
Perhaps you've wanted to invest but felt overwhelmed by the terminology, the choices or the fear of getting it wrong.
Or perhaps you're already investing, but you know your money could be doing more.
Wherever you are today, your financial past does not have to determine your financial future.
Investing is a skill. And like any other skill, it can be learned.
You don't need a financial background, a university degree or thousands in the bank to start building your knowledge.
You need the right education, a clear direction and the belief that a different future is possible.

Investing feels complicated, and I don't want to get it wrong.

I'd like to understand my investments and make more informed decisions.

But I want a clearer strategy and more from my portfolio.

I'm ready to explore more sophisticated investing and trading strategies.

You don't need to learn everything at once. You just need to know what to learn next.

We're Michele and Ricardo, the founders of MindShift Theory.
Neither of us went to university. Neither of us started with a financial education or a blueprint for building wealth.
We've experienced the highs and lows of corporate careers, business, property investing, debt and financial uncertainty.
We've made money, lost money and learned some incredibly valuable lessons along the way.
Over the past decade and a half, we've dedicated ourselves to understanding the stock market, developing our investment knowledge and refining a rules-based approach to building wealth.
Today, we live entirely from the proceeds of our own investing and trading.
But the greatest thing we've gained isn't simply financial independence. It's the freedom to choose how we spend our time, where we live and what we do with our lives.
We created MindShift Theory because we believe financial knowledge should be available to everyone — not just those who were fortunate enough to be taught it.
What we've learned, we're here to teach.
You don't need to be a financial expert to take ownership of your financial future.
Our students come from different backgrounds, different countries and different stages of life.
What they have in common is a willingness to learn and a desire to create greater financial freedom.
Their journeys are a reminder of what's possible when knowledge replaces fear and confidence replaces uncertainty.

Learning an effective trading strategy. I’m a dad of three girls and my oldest started college last year, so money has become a shrinking commodity. Before working with Ricardo and Michele, I had been investing in the stock market for a few years. I’d made a profit but as the market turned, my strategies weren’t succeeding anymore. Working with them helped me better understand the market and find an effective trading strategy that works for me. Through their coaching and guidance, I’ve become more consistent and efficient in the market. What I appreciated most was their ability to explain concepts in a way that made sense to me. They didn’t just tell me what to do—they helped me understand why. That gave me the confidence to make my own decisions rather than relying on tips or guesswork. It’s not easy being an independent investor in a market that’s dominated by experts, but with the help of Ricardo and Michele, I feel I’ve carved out a perfect investment niche that’s going to provide financial independence for my family and me.

Finally have financial confidence! Working with Michelle was AMAZING! I have always been incredibly timid when it come to money and the idea of investing. Michelle spent each week progressing me through navigating the stocks in a digestible way that never left me feeling overwhelmed. Each week my confidence grew and I felt like, for the first time in my life, I was really going to be in control of my money and my financial future. I am now investing on my own and confidently know that my financial future is secure, and have discovered a confidence with managing my money that I never thought would be possible.

From thinking investing wasn't my thing... I went from thinking investing wasn't for me to realising I can absolutely do this! I've always considered myself more of a creative person than a numbers person, so I left all the investing decisions to my husband. I had convinced myself that the stock market was too complicated for me to understand. Michele's course completely changed that! She has such a wonderful way of explaining things in simple, everyday language, without all the confusing financial jargon. Everything was broken down into manageable steps, and there was always room to ask questions without feeling silly. What surprised me most was realising that investing doesn't have to be nearly as complicated as I'd imagined. And more importantly, that I'm perfectly capable of understanding it myself! I've come away with so much more than just knowledge about the stock market. I've gained confidence in my own ability to learn, ask questions and take an active role in my financial future. I would highly recommend this course to any woman who thinks investing isn't for her. You might just surprise yourself!

Michels took the fear of the stock market away by broadening my understanding of the mechanics. She used my own portfolio to explain how and what was happening in the market. My best was how to decipher the graphs and understanding the bear and bull markets. I feel more confident to make decisions because I now have practical tools I use to make those decisions. Having access to the Mindshift platform is also a bonus because I can revisit the videos to freshen up my knowledge. My only regret is that I did not have more time to spend on sessions. I plan to make the time to book more sessions with Michele now that the knowledge has somewhat cemented I am ready for the next steps.

Michele offers an empowering, high-trust learning experience Working with Michele this year has built up my confidence and knowledge around protecting and growing my net wealth. Instead of letting my finances just tick over in the background, I am now more actively involved in what my money is doing currently, and what it has the potential to do in the future. What I have appreciated most is that Michele has never judged my circumstances or life choices, which means that I can just stay focussed on trusting myself and boosting the use of money as a resource.

Demystifying Investing! 👏👏👏 I thoroughly enjoyed Michele’s investing training course. As someone who had always found the world of the stock market utterly terrifying, despite having investments for many years, this course was exactly what I needed. Michele has a real knack for taking what can feel like an incredibly complicated subject and breaking it down into accessible, manageable and easily understandable steps. She genuinely demystified the world of investing for me, without ever making it feel overwhelming. I’ve come away with a much better understanding of how investing actually works, and far more confidence when dealing with my own portfolio managers. I’m even beginning to think I might be brave enough to start making some investments of my own! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand investing but has never quite known where to start.

It was such an eye opener and great experience! The course I followed with Michele was super interesting, energetic, clear (and fun!). I have learned so much from her and she really listens and takes the time to explain something again if it was not clear. She is an absolute expert and loves teaching us all she knows. I am very happy to be more confident about the stock market and look forward to really start investing. Thank you Michele.

Curious about investing but don't know where to start? Looking to understand how the stock market works, without the jargon, overwhelm, or intimidation?
Not at all. Our learning pathway is designed to meet you wherever you are, from absolute beginner to experienced investor. Our free assessment will help you identify the most appropriate starting point.
You don't need money invested to start building your financial knowledge. Learning before you invest can help you make more informed decisions when you're financially ready.
No — and that’s very intentional.
We’ll teach you how to look at an investment, what questions to ask and how to decide whether it makes sense for you. We regularly look at real stocks and ETFs together so you can see these principles in action.
Our goal isn’t to make you dependent on someone else’s stock picks. It’s to give you the knowledge and confidence to make your own informed decisions.
It's never too late to become more financially educated. Your investment goals, time horizon and circumstances may influence which strategies are appropriate, but developing a better understanding of your money is valuable at any age.
Yes! The Wealth Circle is an international community, and you can join us from anywhere in the world.
The principles we teach around investing and building wealth apply wherever you live. However, things like taxes, investment accounts, brokers and available products can differ from country to country, so we’ll always encourage you to check the rules that apply where you live.
Our education can help you better understand your existing investments, ask informed questions and participate more confidently in decisions about your financial future. You don't need to stop working with your adviser.
No. The Wealth Circle is about financial education, not personalised financial advice.
We teach you how investing works, share the strategies and principles we use, and help you understand how to research and evaluate opportunities for yourself.
Ultimately, you remain in control of your money and your investment decisions — and that’s exactly how we want it.
That’s completely understandable — and we’d much rather you approach investing with caution than rush into something you don’t understand.
Investing always involves risk. We can’t remove that risk, but we can help you understand it.
That’s why we focus so heavily on education first. Learn how the market works, understand what you’re investing in, practise where appropriate, ask questions and build your confidence before putting your money to work.
The Wealth Circle isn’t just another place to scroll through posts and conflicting opinions. It’s a focused learning community where everyone is working towards the same goal: understanding how money and investing work so they can confidently build their own wealth.
You’re learning alongside people following the same approach, with access to structured training, resources and ongoing guidance from us.
And when you have a question, you can ask it. You’re not shouting into the void or trying to work out whose advice to trust — you can get clear, practical answers that help you understand what to do next.
Think of it less like a Facebook group and more like having a learning hub, support system and community all in one place.
Many of the principles we teach apply across markets and countries. Investment access, taxation, brokerage accounts and regulations differ by location, and these differences should be considered.
Our primary purpose is education. We teach you how to evaluate investments and understand the reasoning behind different strategies so that you can make your own informed decisions.
Yes. All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of capital. Options introduce additional risks. Our approach emphasises understanding these risks, disciplined decision-making and never treating investment returns as guaranteed.
Start with our free "Find my starting point". In approximately three minutes, you'll receive a suggested educational starting point based on your current knowledge, goals and preferred type of support.
Absolutely. We built the Wealth Grid to be intuitive and user-friendly. If you can use a smartphone, you can use our tools. Plus, we have tutorials to guide you through every click.
No contracts and no long-term commitment.
The Wealth Circle is a monthly membership, and you can cancel whenever you choose.
We want you to stay because you’re learning, growing in confidence and getting value from the community — not because you’re locked into a contract.
