DEREK & SHELLEY PIPER

Derek & Shelley live on a cattle property near Coolah, in the Central West of NSW. 

“For a long time we had been working on ideas on how to manage succession, plan retirement and how to create extra off-farm income and didn’t know where to start.”  

 

 

“We felt that the information we were receiving was not making things any clearer. We became aware of Brian Costello and attended the NIFS two-day Strategies for Financial Advancement workshop in May 2002.”

"We really appreciated hearing Brian’s philosophies and values and it gave us great direction. We set a few goals and started to implement them immediately.  We have regularly consulted with Entello and NIFS to keep us on track.”

 Derek has taken a particular interest in the stock market and charting, whilst Shelley is more involved in how to make the strategy happen and all of the nuts and bolts issues that come up along the way.    

Shelley has a background in self development training and computing. She believes these skills will assist her convey information and help others to achieve their goals.   

Derek has lived on the land all his life and understands the barriers that can make off-farm investing difficult to implement. He hopes that he can help others identify strategies to overcome these hurdles. 

“We will be more than happy to speak to anyone to give support and provide a friendly ear.  It can help to reassure you to share your experience with someone who has been through it”.
