Welcome!!!
You're in for a real treat, a series of amazing revelations...
What you are about to read may appear strange and in many instances to be completely wrong,
even quite absurd! Yet at the same time, you will notice that much of it is curiously familiar,
and will appeal to you at a deeper level that most other information that you might have read before now.
At various times, you may even feel your heart beating slightly faster, or a sense of deja vu occurring,
almost as if you already know what you are about to read. It will be somewhat uncanny, but a lot of fun!
This will all make sense soon, but I do need to ask just one favour of you. All I ask is that you please
temporarily suspend your usual critical thinking and give me the benefit of the doubt, but only for as
long as you are actually reading what I have to say. With that in mind, may your visit here truly
lead you to a greater understanding of the human condition, and ultimately more success and joy than
you've ever imagined possible...
For the best experience of viewing this web site, please allow yourself to believe (I encourage
you to pretend if you have to!) that all that you will read here is the truth. Once you have
finished reading, then use your own judgement and discretion to discard any or all of what I have
said that does not serve you. Let only what you feel will work for you stay with you.
You may choose to come back as many times as you like to re-read this as you feel comfortable. You'll
be sure to pick up a little more here and there each time.
The following is my truth. I choose to tell it because I believe it will help you on your journey
to finding your truth. And I know where you are coming from - for as long as I can remember I had
asked myself what was the purpose of life, and indeed many times felt like I wasn't really here with
a sense of purpose (Or rather, I was sure there was a purpose - I was just having an incredibly difficult
time discovering what it might be). It was as if I was just floating along on a small raft in a large ocean,
wondering where the waves and currents would lead me. There was a sense of wanting to find direction, but
I didn't really feel in control of where I was going. What should I be doing? What will fulfill me?
Thinking back, quite early on in my childhood years, I started to believe that material possessions (heaps
of money, a nice house & car, etc) were the ultimate goals of life. Naturally, sharing these items with my
existing (and future) family was then to be the icing on the cake - but mostly I would have to admit that
my main priority was to just have the lifestyle that I personally thought that I wanted.
It's funny how we end up many times thinking that we want something, only to find out that when we eventually
achieve it, something still seems to be missing. I wondered if we were destined to never truly find happiness?
Since leaving High School, I did everything in my power to gain investment knowledge. I read books, talked to people
about ways of investing and making money, attended seminars, etc... I started my own business when I was aged just 19,
and managed to buy my first investment property at 21. Just a short 8 years later, aged 29, I felt that I had worked
enough in my own business, and decided to close it. Yes, just close it - not even try to sell it. I had no need for it
anymore, and it didn't really occur to me until a year or so later, that I had actually retired at age 29. From that point
on, my lifestyle has been exactly how I want it to be. I'm 31 right now as I write this. I don't tell you this to impress you,
but rather to give you a little background of where I am coming from. I would say that I was about 24 years old when I was
fortunate enough to have had a life-changing experience. In fact, two life-changing experiences...
The first was extremely unexpected, and occurred one evening while I was driving in a car that I had recently purchased.
I'd only owned the car about two weeks, and on this particular night I did something REALLY silly. I had a friend in the
car with me, and thought I would show-off as to how well the car handled during high speed cornering in a section of road
that I was quite familiar with... Unfortunately, once you lose control in a high speed corner and your untrained reflexes
force you to jump on the brake peddle (locking all four wheels), there's not much you can do except notice time slow down
around you as you slide surreally into the nearest power pole across the other side of the road.
That experience was very profound for me. One thing that sticks in my mind is that time truly did seem to slow down,
it was like I was watching a movie of what was happening in slow motion. I remember sparks floating down gently from
the top of the pole, while I was just sitting in the driver's seat in a cross between a daze and bliss for still being
fully conscious and experiencing what was going on. The car was a write-off. The bonnet had crumpled up as if it
were made of cardboard, and the impact somehow caused a fire to start in the engine bay (the fact that there was an
aftermarket turbo bolted to the engine that had been running red hot due to my driving was probably the contributing
factor!). The radiator was competely busted, fluid splashed all over the road. The engine sump must have also been
violated by the impact, as it'd emptied oil all over the place. Even the driver's door had buckled under the impact,
I remember feeling how strange it felt to push the door open while hearing creaking noises as I pushed past points of
resistance.
Somehow, I was simply able to step out of car, virtually unharmed in any way other than some cuts and bruising to the
top of both my knees. In every other regard, I felt fine. I watched from a small distance as the fire continued to burn
in the engine bay, and within no time arriving to my aid were Tow Trucks, a Fire Truck, Ambulance, and Police. Obviously
someone in a nearby house had called the accident in, thinking the worst. The friend who was my passenger in the car,
remarkably also pushed his way out and, other than a tender neck and a sore knee, was basically uninjured also. Thinking
back, we were very, VERY fortunate. I know of plenty of accidents at much slower speeds where there are all sorts of horrendous
injuries, not to mention fatalities. I remember laughing to myself, laughing with the joy of being alive despite the
distorted car body just metres away from me. I didn't have insurance on the car, and I guess that little oversight cost
me about $20,000 even after selling what was left of the car to a wrecker (maybe they could use the tail lights??
Even the transmission was destroyed by the impact I was told later on). Additionally, I had to pay for repairs to the
power pole which had actually snapped at the top and contributed to all the falling sparks that I remember seeing.
Fortunately, the police didn't see any need to charge me with anything, as no-one was hurt and there were no other
cars involved in the accident. Maybe they thought since my friend and I were lucky enough to be walking around to
tell the tale of what happened that I'd experienced a better lesson in the event itself than any penalties they could
dish out to me. The police showed genuine sympathy that I wasn't insured, and I appreciated that they left it at that.
My second life-changing experience was the next seminar that I decided to go to after my car accident. Usually I was interested
in only investment style seminars, primarily with property based strategies, but this seminar was quite unique in that it promised
simply "happiness" as its goal. Nothing was mentioned about how much (or how little) you own, and for whatever reason
I felt compelled to attend. Even though at the time of attending, I didn't particularly feel like I'd benefitted that much,
in hindsight this event definitely marked a huge turning point in my perceptions which gradually emerged and became more and
more dominant with time. It was as if a seed was planted in my subconscious, and gradually it grew and started to affect my
conscious decisions... More and more I felt compelled to look into a path of "self development" as opposed to just an investment-specific
approach to my learning. It was through my self development work that I ultimately became comfortable with closing my business, and
I had a sense of "knowing" that I would be happy in my life from this point forward, no matter what happened. It's quite amazing just
how confident I felt (and still feel to this day, and even more so with time), and now as you can see even a horrible experience such
as a costly car accident (by the way, I promptly insure all my cars now!) was actually a blessing in disguise as it became the starting
point for the complete turn-around in my life. Prior to this, I was working very long hours (7 days a week for quite a while) in my
business, and although I was paying my bills and comfortable financially, my life was generally a struggle and involved doing a lot of
things that I didn't particularly wish to be doing.
Ok... enough of my past for the moment, now let's think a little about You. If you stop and think about it, is your life in a bit
of a rut right now? Obviously you're surviving, but is what you desire coming to you easily? Do you feel you are missing out, or
having to sacrifice in some (or many) areas of your life out of necessity due to the situation you are in right now??
Oh, I see... Hmmmmmm... I don't have to be psychic to know your answer. I don't even have to be psychic to know what has caused
your life to be this way. In fact, if you're ready for a little deja vu, I can tell you a few things that have happened in your
life which are playing a strong and very limiting role to your present level of happiness and personal success... Here goes:
Let's start when you were a lot younger... Did you know of any family or friends who struggled with money? Or maybe they had money
but didn't really seem to be all that happy despite their wealth. Some people may have seemed quite stressed, afterall if you have no
money you greatly limit your freedom and choices - but even if you do have money, as the saying goes, "Money can't buy you happiness".
Do you remember hearing that comment from anyone as you grew up?? How about people telling you that everytime they got a payrise
(or maybe a small win on a casket ticket or horse race) that something seemed to happen and their car needed repairs that week,
or some other unexpected expense popped up and before they knew it they were just as bad off financially (or maybe even worse off if
they'd gained a substantial amount)? Did you know anyone on a pension...? Did you notice that they were older than you were at the
time, and they went without a lot of life's luxuries?
I do have a point to my questions... and maybe you're already starting to figure it out, but in case you're not, consider this:
As you have been growing up, you have been exposed to other people whose adult life was a day to day struggle. They may have been close
family members (maybe in your own childhood you were limited to what you could do because of a lack of money), or perhaps friends or even
just nextdoor neighbours. If you're honest with yourself, you will certainly remember at least some of the people who you've met over the
years who complain when they receive a bill in the mail, or whinge about the price of bread or milk going up yet again...
Now, here's the crux of it all... Whether you like it or not, the fact that these other people have crossed paths with you has had a
subconscious impact on you. Part of who you are today is a culmination of subconscious programming by EVERYTHING that you've been
exposed to during your whole life. I firmly believe that even though we are not consciously aware of it, every detail of every event
that you have ever experienced is held within you, at a subconscious level. This can be easily verified by seeing the amount of detail
that a person under hypnosis can reveal about their past - they can describe minute details of an event as if they are reliving it right then
and there, even though consciously they may not remember any part of it. You know this is true. Sometimes you experience yourself a sense
of deja vu or a flashback to a memory you'd "forgotten" about for years, yet there it is, you vividly recall various aspects of the experience
with clarity and even the associated emotions.
One of the most significant things that I have learned is that our conscious decisions, that is the decisions we make day to day in our lives
(whether it's whether we go to work that day, or call in for a sick-day, whether we buy a lotto ticket, whether we buy an investment property,
whether we go on a holiday, etc) are all driven by subconscious programming. The decisions which you feel "right" with, are in fact not truly
of your "free will" in the sense that you would believe. Your subconscious is influencing you every second of every day. Make no mistake about
it, the conscious thoughts of most people are simply "puppets" to be manipulated by what your underlying subconscious programming would have you
do. Let me explain a little more about what influences/programs your subconscious:
The media and advertising can affect it... Why does a certain brand or type of product outsell others, despite not being superior when tested
objectively? Do you ever feel you want to do something because "everybody else" is doing it? Fancy a newer better home or car? Ever considered
that to a large extent you're a victim to what you subconsiously think OTHER people would expect you to have or do to be considered successful??
Did you catch what I just said?!?
How many people (if they are really honest with themselves) would choose many of the bigger, better "things"
that life had on offer if there was no-one else around to "show it off" or compare it to? If you stop trying to rationalise it (amazing how your subconscious
is defending itself even now by the thoughts your conscious mind is receiving), you'll realise the significant truth in what I am saying.
Would women be so worried about their appearances if they weren't being compared to other women (often artifically enhanced to be on the cover of
magazines), and would men be so appearance fanatical if they weren't exposed to "picture perfect" women in the media all the time? I think not!
If you take this line of thinking far enough, you'll see that MUCH of what we do is more a matter of doing what we "think" we should do to appear
successful to others.
Even going on an overseas holiday, when you really think about it, is in many ways about impressing others when we re-tell our experience. Or
perhaps it is because we "think" we need to get away from things for a while to find happiness? That really sounds quite sad to me - spending the
the majority of your life doing what makes you unhappy just to have a tiny snippet of the time each year where you feel happy with your situation.
After a typical holiday (and let's ignore the negative impact on your wealth creation that your holiday usually causes - that's a whole other story),
about all you have to show for it are some memories. Hey, I get memories from the dreams that I have, and they're just as vivid and great value!!
(my comments on lucid dreaming are yet another story!). So, your holiday is over, what then - oh no, you're right back doing what you don't want to
be doing again, desperately wishing for another holiday. What a vicious cycle this is!? Please don't take this wrongly - I'm not for a moment
suggesting that all the things you do/buy for pleasure should be avoided. I'm just suggesting that your desire for such things is largely generated by
your subconscious influencing you based on all that you have experienced in your life so far. I'm more heading towards the idea of choosing to do that
which truly serves you - in other words, if you feel that a holiday is something wonderful that you would really enjoy, then by all means take it!
But try to notice whether the desire for the holiday has anything to do with impressing others, or perhaps even more insideously is caused by a
subconscious signal that makes you "feel" that somehow you could be happier in a different location to where you are right now. This leads me onto my
next significant point:
Your happiness or anger, pride or shame, greed or fear, or any other emotion that you might typically associate with a certain event, experience or
place does NOT have to be an automatic recurring reaction to that situation. I'll take this a step further, and state that for most people, they
think that a given event causes a particular emotional response in themselves. While this appears true on the surface, there is a vital piece of
information missing. I'd like to share a little formula that I fully believe in. It is:
Outside Event + MY RESPONSE = My Emotional State
While the event may trigger a predefined (subconsciously generated) emotional state if you just allow yourself to react to it, you in fact always have
the ability to choose to respond to an event rather than react. Let me clarify this:
React = Re-act. This means "To Act Again", and locks you in to repeating the past re-action for similar circumstances (as influenced by your subconscious).
You've allowed yourself to become a victim to the event or circumstance.
Respond = This means to take a moment to consider the situation, and choose to respond appropriately, in the manner which serves you best. You are taking
control of the situation and what happens next is based on your choice (response) at this point in time.
This may seem difficult to agree with... but consider how two totally different people might handle the exact same event... Here are two example scenarios:
EVENT 1: You're casually shopping for some grocerys, taking your time, and someone insults you rudely and unnecessarily for being in their way.
Person 1's Reaction: Feel Anger! Maybe swear back at them, tell them off one way or another. Feel angry for the rest of the shopping experience.
Person 2's Response: Takes a gentle breath in... Realises that the other shopper must be in a huge hurry (maybe they've left their child in the car waiting
outside?), feels glad that there's no rush for themselves today... Smiles and keeps shopping in a relaxed manner.
EVENT 2: You're running late for a work (there was a black-out and you didn't realise the time, plus you were out late with friends the night before),
you're a bit disorientated, but manage to quickly get dressed and ready for work, go to your car, but try as you might, the car won't start!!
Person 1's Reaction: Feel Stressed, worry about Bosses's reaction. Panic - what to do now? Catch a taxi?? Call in sick?? Confusion.
Person 2's Response: Takes a deep breath... Realises that it's Sunday morning - no work today! Enjoys a relaxed breakfast at home. Laughs about the morning's fiasco.
Notice that in each event, the cirumstances were the same for both people. In Event 2 above, it's quite likely that by the time Person 1 realises that it's
not a work-day they're already in a bad mood and angry at how the morning's events went. Person 2, on the other hand, took the time to calmly respond to the
situation, and inevitably stayed relaxed and will have a much better day.
You're probably thinking that the examples were too easy, and there are plenty of situations where you can't help but be stressed when things aren't
going your way. But let me say this - eventually, once you really get what I'm saying, you'll realise that even when things don't appear to be going
your way, there is even a positive side to that. I now know that when things seem to not be going my way, there is a good reason for it which I will
discover sooner or later... Maybe I need more information, or maybe to do what I thought I wanted to would end up with a result that isn't really what I
want. Maybe my timing is wrong, and I should wait until later. Once you identify and improve limiting or sabotage patterns in your subconscious,
then you will be amazed at just how "perfectly" everything fits together to help you achieve your goals. Now I will move onto another significant
point I feel I need to make.
I would say that almost everyone limits their success at any endeavour (or in the least increases the difficulty of achieving their goals) by simply
not having a strong enough belief that the correct decisions are available to them in a flowing, effortless way and that regardless of what obstacles
may arise, a solution (or indeed an even better goal!) will arise. If your subconscious programming has been restricting you regularly in life,
then it's understandable that you could easily lose your faith that life can be completely carefree and that your best interests are always looked after.
I will stop here for a moment. I could go on and on, but it is quite likely that you already have too much resistance to what I have said to allow
anything further that I say to have any value for you for the time being. This is not a problem, however, as even just by reading this far you have placed
the foundation to allowing yourself to accept and trust more and more in ideas such as those that I have stated. The best is yet to come, and gradually you
will come to not only believe, but to KNOW without doubt the truth in what I have said. It'll become quite clear that many times you are acting in a manner
which you think is based on your conscious, free choice - but in actual fact is an illusion provided by your subconscious. There's no blame to place, as
this is the natural way that human beings assimilate and process information. It's just a fact that in most people's upbringings their subconscious has
grasped onto certain concepts which disempower them from achieving a state of absolute happiness. Indeed, your growing awareness will be the key to
unlocking which choices you've been making which are were not truly of our own conscious creation, and are holding you back in some way.
If you can see at least some truth in my words so far, then I would like to implant the following thought into your conscious mind, so as to help you
overcome some of the excuses your subconcious may provide you with to keep you living in a situation that you are not completely happy with. Please read
this carefully and grasp the extent of its meaning:
You are creating your own life, your own reality, completely by the choices that you have made (or have chosen not to make) throughout your life.
If you experience a lack of money, struggle achieving what you want, or anything else that is less than your ideal, please realise that it is completely
due to your current decision making process which has put you into this situation. It is nothing to do with the outside circumstances around you. It's
not the city you live in, nor the government, nor corporations, nor your job, nor your education, nor the shape of your body or the colour of your skin
which is limiting you (although if it were, it's your choice as to whether you allow such a so-called limitation to have power over you). It is simply
the choices you have made. Once you acknowledge this as your truth, you begin to open the door to the understanding and knowing that your life can truly
become anything that you (a) Desire and (b) Believe is possible. Without realising this, and without acting on it, you are destined to continually repeat
certain less than ideal patterns in your life. The universe wants you to have a wonderful, joyous life, which is why you keep repeating your mistakes - you
are given the chance over and over to start making the correct choices and turn your life around almost instantly. The change at any point can be miraculous.
If you're ready, willing and committed to improving your life in ways that you previously could have only imagined, then I have listed for you a few
important steps (a duplicate of something I Emailed to someone else who questioned me directly). If now is not the right time for you to accept this, then
that is quite Ok. You truly have my best wishes no matter what you do from here - whether you return and re-read this information periodically or you
leave never to return. Whenever you are ready, this information will be here waiting for you. And if not by my hand, you will find it elsewhere at
just the time that you truly seek it. Trust in this and it will be so. Here are a few steps if you wish to take this further:
Step 1: As already mentioned, but absolutely crucial: Realise and believe wholeheartedly that your life is completely a result of your own actions
and decisions (or lack thereof) up until now. Do not blame anyone or anything else.
Step 2: Refer to Step 1 until it REALLY, REALLY sinks in!
Step 3: Take some quiet time to really consider what you want, and WHY do you want it? Is it just because you're "supposed" to want/have it, because
of other people's opinions? What really matters to you? Dig deeper... What REALLY matters? Try to still your mind and see what just comes to you.
Step 4: Learn to meditate, or at the very least take the time to relax for at least 20 minutes a day. Be open to feelings, intuitive flashes,
memories, impulses, i.e. anything outside of your ordinary sequences of thought. Realise that many truths in life will go against your
current (pre-programmed) beliefs. Be open to this and be prepared to change your views completely, despite other people's opinions and influence.
Step 5: Repeat Steps 3 & 4. Notice that once you really figure out what's important in life and what truly matters to you, things in your life will
start to change virtually automatically. Be prepared and in fact look forward to stepping outside your comfort zone - try something new every day if
possible! Open yourself to the teachings of enlightenend people. Learn more about people like: Michael Domeyko Rowland, Neale Donald Walsch, Wayne Dyer,
Deepak Chopra, The Dalai Lama, Louise Hay, James Redfield, to name just a few. These are all wonderful people to learn from. Read some of their books,
watch some videos, or listen to their audio tapes if that's more comfortable for you.
Step 6: Enjoy life, realise that no matters what happens, you always have the choice of how to respond. Keep positive. Look at obstacles or
challenges as a way to improve your approach, a chance to learn, or sometimes even as a guide that you don't really want what it is you thought that
you did. Believe in yourself. Trust that you are a part of something much bigger, a universal intelligence, God, or whatever you like to call it.
Step 7: Realise that in helping others, you're actually helping yourself. Be the source of that which you wish to experience in life.
Step 8: Given a choice between "being right" and "being kind", pick kindness. If everybody remains "righteous" about what they believe, this
becomes the seed of war and disagreements. In any case, what societies consider as right and wrong changes with time and location.
(If you think about this you'll be amazed at how much variation there is!)
Step 9: Have compassion. Some people just want to be heard, but are not willing to change and don't want to be pushed. Live and let live.
Finally, let me thank you for taking the time to read this. It has flowed for me over a period of 4-5 hours this evening, and it's been a
pleasure to share this with you. Just a quick note - I may make available an Audio CD Set which explains these ideas in much more detail,
including specific techniques and plenty of examples to successfully reprogram your subconscious and start your life on a path of happiness,
contentment, abundance and success. Please Email me if you're interested in being contacted with more information and/or availability. Thank you.
Best wishes and prosperity,

P.S. For everyone who's enquired about the progress of my book, it's on hold due to the fact that I realised that I needed to make a prequal
which covers a lot more about the subconscious, personal development, the concept of a "universal intelligence", and the infinite potential that
is available to us once we undo all the restrictive programming we've grown up with and really start KNOWING the truth. This may take the form
of a printed book, or a set of Audio CD's, or perhaps a combination of both. Meanwhile, I'll leave the wealth related topics below for those
still interested, but I now feel the full investment book must wait as the prequel is now the priority.
P.P.S. Thanks to everyone who has Emailed and shown that I've touched them in some way. I appreciate you taking the time to write.
Welcome to the special online preview of my new upcoming book offering some never-before
published information on investing and wealth creation. (Plus a whole lot more...)
My book doesn't even have a title yet, and is presently just in the early preparation
stages. As an investor first, and author second, I will tell true stories of actual real-life
experiences I have had in various investments, along with my own results of many years of research
into how people become wealthy and why a lot of accepted ideas and techniques are either inefficient
and slow you down by many unnecessary wasted years, or even worse hold you back from true financial independance.
I'll reveal a lot more about myself over time. Please be prepared to discover knowledge
and many ideas that you normally just wouldn't find when it comes to investing.
For now, here is a limited selection of some of the topics that will be discussed in my upcoming book...
[] Many of the wealthiest people who ever lived started out extremely poor.
I'll explain what the key factor is that stops most people from becoming
financially successful, and give new meaning to the saying, "you should
never judge a book by its cover". Find out also why it hardly matters
where you're starting from and what you already own (or owe!) - it's
simply a matter of "time".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] We should all know that borrowing money to buy depreciating assets (e.g.
cars, furniture) is financially not a good idea. But there can be
exceptions that will astound you, and even make you more money!
Also, find out if those tempting "Interest Free" deals are a benefit or
a hindrance to your financial well-being. You might be surprised!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] A very popular debate - "Rent vs Buy". Is owning your own home really
a good investment? My analysis will give you the true facts on this!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] Buying a new property or a pre-existing one..? Which is really the best
investment? How about buying properties with built-in profits? A gain
of just 10% in property value could mean you've DOUBLED your money, with
wise use of financing! Imagine if you could do this every few months?!
Also, find out why you usually SHOULDN'T sell any properties (even when
you retire, no matter how much debt you may still have). However, there
is one good reason to sell occasionally! Do you know what it is??
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] "Interest Only" vs "Principle and Interest" Loans - There's more than
you might realise to making the best choice here. A correct approach
will put you YEARS in front, without costing you a single dollar more!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] "Line of Credit" vs "100% Offset Accounts" - They have similar benefits
until you look at them as closely as I have. There is a distinct
difference that could damage your wealth creation significantly if you
don't understand it.
PLUS, learn ways to minimise your taxation legally for life... Afterall,
what you don't pay in tax you can keep invested. This is a huge boost!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] An ongoing debate - "Shares vs Property". Find out how the correct mix
of BOTH wins every time. Learn how to "have your cake and eat it too"!
I will also explain why anyone who simply compares shares and property
investments by looking at the historic rates of return is really giving
a misleading & totally inaccurate comparison. Don't be misguided!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] What is the real effect of saving 0.5% interest on a loan? When is it
worth it and when isn't it? Also learn why some of the most popular
lenders are unknowingly holding you back and limiting your ability to
invest further in the future. This information is worth many $1,000's!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] The reality of making losses in the Share Market. Why cutting your
losses early is such a golden rule, yet so hard to stick to. You'll see
real case studies where profitable trades end up losing, as well as why
losing 50% of your capital means you need to return 100% just to break
even again! This research will change the way you trade shares forever.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] Simple tips to improve your percentage returns on shares by upto 3% PER
MONTH, WITHOUT increasing your risk if the share price falls! And if
that doesn't sound exciting enough, with a small advanced variation on
this technique, you can return upto 59% per annum on the value of your
shares - even if the share price remains completely flat!! It's so easy
when you know how, and you'll be wishing you'd started this years ago!
Think about this...
If you have access to $200,000 (in shares, cash, or even as equity
available in a property), you could be making as much as $118,000 income
per year from this technique! Even if you'd borrowed the $200,000 at a
rate of 9% interest, you could still clear $100,000 per year after your
interest costs. Why would you put up with the insultingly low (or even
negative!) returns of superannuation or other "managed funds"? I can
also prove that this approach has less risk than simply buying and
holding shares. Don't be fooled into always thinking that "the higher
the return, the higher the risk". There are exceptions to this popular
view, and once you have the knowledge to invest wisely yourself you will
find that high returns are often achievable with much less risk than you
had first thought. YOU are truly the best one to manage your own money,
if you put in the effort to expand your knowledge and learn the best
ways to invest. With knowledge comes confidence, and with confidence
comes action - and with action you'll get results...!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] Learn how two popular games ("Chess" and the board game "Monopoly") can
boost a child's future financial potential, & how you can help children
develop the right mind-set for a happy future free of financial worries.
Most parents realise that very little is taught in schools about wealth
creation and financial planning. These days, having a good "job" just
simply is not enough, unless you can also effectively manage your money.
Understandably, parents want to make their children's lives as easy as
possible, but you'll discover how giving too much (money and/or material
possessions) to a child can, in fact, make their adult life financially
more difficult than it need be. A little restraint now can go a long
way towards a better future... One day your children will thank you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] There are many more topics, but one that's guaranteed to shift your
thinking to a whole new level will be when I reveal exactly how I have
made average returns of over 91% per annum on my invested money since
1996... My performance for the last two years is exceeding 156% per
annum, even though one year I lost over $44,000 in one investment type!
Find out exactly what I did wrong and what I've learnt from it. Learn
that true wealth just requires making the right decisions and taking the
appropriate actions. Discover why some people always seem to get what
they want in life, and others seem "jinxed" and can't get anywhere.
I'll reveal an understanding of how our mind works and you will realise
its abilities can move you forward, hold you back, or send you broke,
even despite your best intentions in everything you do. Your mind makes
a terrible master but a wonderful servant.. Learn to take full control!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] Discover why you've managed to find this information, and why you've
read it all, and how it can unleash potential in you beyond your highest
expectations. And I'm convinced that once you start on this path, EVERY
SINGLE ASPECT of your life will improve, from relationships, to finances
to even your health. We all underestimate how much control we truly
have of our own lives... Let me explain "coincidences", and "being in
the right place at the right time". "Luck" seems to be with you, but
you'll realise there never was any such thing as luck afterall!
It's almost unbelievable how things can all start to fall into place,
once you start taking the appropriate actions. You'll find that with
persistance, you'll be able to move past the various obstacles that get
in your way (challenges and resistance are a part of life, but they are
there for a good reason and can be used to help you as you progress!!)
Before too long, you'll start to notice "life itself" (for want of a
better term) start to help you, by providing you with the opportunities,
information, people, etc, that you need to find to achieve your goals.
This may all sound like rubbish, but I assure you I am speaking from my
own real experiences (and there are many other successful people who
have also experienced the same phenomenon). It is a real challenge to
describe just how easy, natural and flowing life can become, and each
day you feel wonderfully positive and happy despite almost anything that
happens along the way. There's a sense of purpose for everything that
happens to you, whether or not things initially appear good or bad.
The most difficult part is simply STARTING on this path to success.
To just "want" something is not enough, you have to actually take ACTION
(This sounds so simple, but it is an important "secret" to getting what
you want in life, whatever that may be). There is usually resistance to
change, but once you start on your journey of self-development, you'll
gradually discover beyond all doubt that your life can be and will be
exactly what you plan and create for yourself...
I hope to update this site gradually over time, and intend to put some full chapters of my book
online explaining some of the topics listed above in detail. If you have any feedback or questions,
or perhaps have a topic or real-life story (good or bad) you'd like me to incorporate in my book,
I would love to hear from you. Your first step, first ACTION to take, I hope will be to Email me and
let me know what you think of what you've read. I will use your feedback to help determine which topics
I should treat with priority and will provide the most sought-after information here on this internet site.
With your permission, I'm considering selecting some of the specific questions I'm asked in Emails and
placing them directly on this internet site, along with my response. In this way, everyone else in a similar
situation can learn and benefit... Please visit this site periodically to see how things go. Thank you.

P.S. I haven't written a book before, but somehow feel compelled at this point in my life to do so. I have
no idea how long it'll take me to publish the book, and I'm yet to decide whether to make it available for
free on the internet or to try to sell it. Time will tell. Meanwhile, please remember that your feedback
will help me to make this book the best it can be, and I expect everyone reading this to tell me about it if
they disagree with anything I say. My intention is to explain to anyone who is interested the investment
knowledge that I wish I'd known prior to even leaving school, which I feel will be of benefit to anyone who
genuinely wants to improve their lives financially (and in other ways, as will follow naturally).
DISCLAIMER: I should probably point out about now that I'm not in any way licenced to give financial advice, nor have I
done any formal courses on financial planning or investment advising. Please be sure to consider all the pros and cons (risks)
of any form of investment prior to investing any of your money. Also, please consider seeking independant financial and/or
taxation advice (although I expect many in these industries will disagree with a lot I have to say anyway! But then I
wonder just how financially successful are the people in these careers anyway?!?) My knowledge of taxation law is only
relevant to Australia, so please do be sure you seek the appropriate taxation advice if you will not be living and investing
in Australia. I cannot and will not be held responsible in any way for any results (both good and bad) which you may achieve
having read this information, as afterall it is YOU who have chosen to act (or not act) on any part or all of it. I am
simply giving you additional knowledge and information which I have personally found useful in my own investments. Past
returns can never guarantee future performance, and you should always be aware of the various factors that may influence
any particular investment you are undertaking. Finally, I'd recommend you truly do make your own investment decisions,
and don't just blindly hand your money to any other person or organisation, regardless of how successful they may
appear to be. I believe the best one to manage your money is YOU, providing you take the time to expand your knowledge
to make good investment decisions. If you're not prepared to learn or work at improving yourself in some way on a
continual ongoing basis, then you will be at a disadvantage and may be best only choosing the "safest" investments.
Where possible I will explain the risks associated with the investment possibilites I discuss, but it is impossible for
me to list all the possible problems. If in doubt, this usually means you need more information before you should act.
Heed this and educate yourself further. Do not expect to wake up a rich person overnight, it will take time and a
considerable amount of effort. But I feel it is more than worth it in the end. May you achieve your best and beyond...

The following is my truth. I choose to tell it because I believe it will help you on your journey to finding your truth. And I know where you are coming from - for as long as I can remember I had asked myself what was the purpose of life, and indeed many times felt like I wasn't really here with a sense of purpose (Or rather, I was sure there was a purpose - I was just having an incredibly difficult time discovering what it might be). It was as if I was just floating along on a small raft in a large ocean, wondering where the waves and currents would lead me. There was a sense of wanting to find direction, but I didn't really feel in control of where I was going. What should I be doing? What will fulfill me?
Thinking back, quite early on in my childhood years, I started to believe that material possessions (heaps of money, a nice house & car, etc) were the ultimate goals of life. Naturally, sharing these items with my existing (and future) family was then to be the icing on the cake - but mostly I would have to admit that my main priority was to just have the lifestyle that I personally thought that I wanted.
It's funny how we end up many times thinking that we want something, only to find out that when we eventually achieve it, something still seems to be missing. I wondered if we were destined to never truly find happiness?
Since leaving High School, I did everything in my power to gain investment knowledge. I read books, talked to people about ways of investing and making money, attended seminars, etc... I started my own business when I was aged just 19, and managed to buy my first investment property at 21. Just a short 8 years later, aged 29, I felt that I had worked enough in my own business, and decided to close it. Yes, just close it - not even try to sell it. I had no need for it anymore, and it didn't really occur to me until a year or so later, that I had actually retired at age 29. From that point on, my lifestyle has been exactly how I want it to be. I'm 31 right now as I write this. I don't tell you this to impress you, but rather to give you a little background of where I am coming from. I would say that I was about 24 years old when I was fortunate enough to have had a life-changing experience. In fact, two life-changing experiences...
The first was extremely unexpected, and occurred one evening while I was driving in a car that I had recently purchased. I'd only owned the car about two weeks, and on this particular night I did something REALLY silly. I had a friend in the car with me, and thought I would show-off as to how well the car handled during high speed cornering in a section of road that I was quite familiar with... Unfortunately, once you lose control in a high speed corner and your untrained reflexes force you to jump on the brake peddle (locking all four wheels), there's not much you can do except notice time slow down around you as you slide surreally into the nearest power pole across the other side of the road.
That experience was very profound for me. One thing that sticks in my mind is that time truly did seem to slow down, it was like I was watching a movie of what was happening in slow motion. I remember sparks floating down gently from the top of the pole, while I was just sitting in the driver's seat in a cross between a daze and bliss for still being fully conscious and experiencing what was going on. The car was a write-off. The bonnet had crumpled up as if it were made of cardboard, and the impact somehow caused a fire to start in the engine bay (the fact that there was an aftermarket turbo bolted to the engine that had been running red hot due to my driving was probably the contributing factor!). The radiator was competely busted, fluid splashed all over the road. The engine sump must have also been violated by the impact, as it'd emptied oil all over the place. Even the driver's door had buckled under the impact, I remember feeling how strange it felt to push the door open while hearing creaking noises as I pushed past points of resistance.
Somehow, I was simply able to step out of car, virtually unharmed in any way other than some cuts and bruising to the top of both my knees. In every other regard, I felt fine. I watched from a small distance as the fire continued to burn in the engine bay, and within no time arriving to my aid were Tow Trucks, a Fire Truck, Ambulance, and Police. Obviously someone in a nearby house had called the accident in, thinking the worst. The friend who was my passenger in the car, remarkably also pushed his way out and, other than a tender neck and a sore knee, was basically uninjured also. Thinking back, we were very, VERY fortunate. I know of plenty of accidents at much slower speeds where there are all sorts of horrendous injuries, not to mention fatalities. I remember laughing to myself, laughing with the joy of being alive despite the distorted car body just metres away from me. I didn't have insurance on the car, and I guess that little oversight cost me about $20,000 even after selling what was left of the car to a wrecker (maybe they could use the tail lights?? Even the transmission was destroyed by the impact I was told later on). Additionally, I had to pay for repairs to the power pole which had actually snapped at the top and contributed to all the falling sparks that I remember seeing. Fortunately, the police didn't see any need to charge me with anything, as no-one was hurt and there were no other cars involved in the accident. Maybe they thought since my friend and I were lucky enough to be walking around to tell the tale of what happened that I'd experienced a better lesson in the event itself than any penalties they could dish out to me. The police showed genuine sympathy that I wasn't insured, and I appreciated that they left it at that.
My second life-changing experience was the next seminar that I decided to go to after my car accident. Usually I was interested in only investment style seminars, primarily with property based strategies, but this seminar was quite unique in that it promised simply "happiness" as its goal. Nothing was mentioned about how much (or how little) you own, and for whatever reason I felt compelled to attend. Even though at the time of attending, I didn't particularly feel like I'd benefitted that much, in hindsight this event definitely marked a huge turning point in my perceptions which gradually emerged and became more and more dominant with time. It was as if a seed was planted in my subconscious, and gradually it grew and started to affect my conscious decisions... More and more I felt compelled to look into a path of "self development" as opposed to just an investment-specific approach to my learning. It was through my self development work that I ultimately became comfortable with closing my business, and I had a sense of "knowing" that I would be happy in my life from this point forward, no matter what happened. It's quite amazing just how confident I felt (and still feel to this day, and even more so with time), and now as you can see even a horrible experience such as a costly car accident (by the way, I promptly insure all my cars now!) was actually a blessing in disguise as it became the starting point for the complete turn-around in my life. Prior to this, I was working very long hours (7 days a week for quite a while) in my business, and although I was paying my bills and comfortable financially, my life was generally a struggle and involved doing a lot of things that I didn't particularly wish to be doing.
Ok... enough of my past for the moment, now let's think a little about You. If you stop and think about it, is your life in a bit of a rut right now? Obviously you're surviving, but is what you desire coming to you easily? Do you feel you are missing out, or having to sacrifice in some (or many) areas of your life out of necessity due to the situation you are in right now??
Oh, I see... Hmmmmmm... I don't have to be psychic to know your answer. I don't even have to be psychic to know what has caused your life to be this way. In fact, if you're ready for a little deja vu, I can tell you a few things that have happened in your life which are playing a strong and very limiting role to your present level of happiness and personal success... Here goes:
Let's start when you were a lot younger... Did you know of any family or friends who struggled with money? Or maybe they had money but didn't really seem to be all that happy despite their wealth. Some people may have seemed quite stressed, afterall if you have no money you greatly limit your freedom and choices - but even if you do have money, as the saying goes, "Money can't buy you happiness". Do you remember hearing that comment from anyone as you grew up?? How about people telling you that everytime they got a payrise (or maybe a small win on a casket ticket or horse race) that something seemed to happen and their car needed repairs that week, or some other unexpected expense popped up and before they knew it they were just as bad off financially (or maybe even worse off if they'd gained a substantial amount)? Did you know anyone on a pension...? Did you notice that they were older than you were at the time, and they went without a lot of life's luxuries?
I do have a point to my questions... and maybe you're already starting to figure it out, but in case you're not, consider this:
As you have been growing up, you have been exposed to other people whose adult life was a day to day struggle. They may have been close family members (maybe in your own childhood you were limited to what you could do because of a lack of money), or perhaps friends or even just nextdoor neighbours. If you're honest with yourself, you will certainly remember at least some of the people who you've met over the years who complain when they receive a bill in the mail, or whinge about the price of bread or milk going up yet again...
Now, here's the crux of it all... Whether you like it or not, the fact that these other people have crossed paths with you has had a subconscious impact on you. Part of who you are today is a culmination of subconscious programming by EVERYTHING that you've been exposed to during your whole life. I firmly believe that even though we are not consciously aware of it, every detail of every event that you have ever experienced is held within you, at a subconscious level. This can be easily verified by seeing the amount of detail that a person under hypnosis can reveal about their past - they can describe minute details of an event as if they are reliving it right then and there, even though consciously they may not remember any part of it. You know this is true. Sometimes you experience yourself a sense of deja vu or a flashback to a memory you'd "forgotten" about for years, yet there it is, you vividly recall various aspects of the experience with clarity and even the associated emotions.
One of the most significant things that I have learned is that our conscious decisions, that is the decisions we make day to day in our lives (whether it's whether we go to work that day, or call in for a sick-day, whether we buy a lotto ticket, whether we buy an investment property, whether we go on a holiday, etc) are all driven by subconscious programming. The decisions which you feel "right" with, are in fact not truly of your "free will" in the sense that you would believe. Your subconscious is influencing you every second of every day. Make no mistake about it, the conscious thoughts of most people are simply "puppets" to be manipulated by what your underlying subconscious programming would have you do. Let me explain a little more about what influences/programs your subconscious:
The media and advertising can affect it... Why does a certain brand or type of product outsell others, despite not being superior when tested objectively? Do you ever feel you want to do something because "everybody else" is doing it? Fancy a newer better home or car? Ever considered that to a large extent you're a victim to what you subconsiously think OTHER people would expect you to have or do to be considered successful??
Did you catch what I just said?!?
How many people (if they are really honest with themselves) would choose many of the bigger, better "things" that life had on offer if there was no-one else around to "show it off" or compare it to? If you stop trying to rationalise it (amazing how your subconscious is defending itself even now by the thoughts your conscious mind is receiving), you'll realise the significant truth in what I am saying.
Would women be so worried about their appearances if they weren't being compared to other women (often artifically enhanced to be on the cover of magazines), and would men be so appearance fanatical if they weren't exposed to "picture perfect" women in the media all the time? I think not! If you take this line of thinking far enough, you'll see that MUCH of what we do is more a matter of doing what we "think" we should do to appear successful to others.
Even going on an overseas holiday, when you really think about it, is in many ways about impressing others when we re-tell our experience. Or perhaps it is because we "think" we need to get away from things for a while to find happiness? That really sounds quite sad to me - spending the the majority of your life doing what makes you unhappy just to have a tiny snippet of the time each year where you feel happy with your situation. After a typical holiday (and let's ignore the negative impact on your wealth creation that your holiday usually causes - that's a whole other story), about all you have to show for it are some memories. Hey, I get memories from the dreams that I have, and they're just as vivid and great value!! (my comments on lucid dreaming are yet another story!). So, your holiday is over, what then - oh no, you're right back doing what you don't want to be doing again, desperately wishing for another holiday. What a vicious cycle this is!? Please don't take this wrongly - I'm not for a moment suggesting that all the things you do/buy for pleasure should be avoided. I'm just suggesting that your desire for such things is largely generated by your subconscious influencing you based on all that you have experienced in your life so far. I'm more heading towards the idea of choosing to do that which truly serves you - in other words, if you feel that a holiday is something wonderful that you would really enjoy, then by all means take it! But try to notice whether the desire for the holiday has anything to do with impressing others, or perhaps even more insideously is caused by a subconscious signal that makes you "feel" that somehow you could be happier in a different location to where you are right now. This leads me onto my next significant point:
Your happiness or anger, pride or shame, greed or fear, or any other emotion that you might typically associate with a certain event, experience or place does NOT have to be an automatic recurring reaction to that situation. I'll take this a step further, and state that for most people, they think that a given event causes a particular emotional response in themselves. While this appears true on the surface, there is a vital piece of information missing. I'd like to share a little formula that I fully believe in. It is:
Outside Event + MY RESPONSE = My Emotional State
While the event may trigger a predefined (subconsciously generated) emotional state if you just allow yourself to react to it, you in fact always have the ability to choose to respond to an event rather than react. Let me clarify this:
React = Re-act. This means "To Act Again", and locks you in to repeating the past re-action for similar circumstances (as influenced by your subconscious). You've allowed yourself to become a victim to the event or circumstance.
Respond = This means to take a moment to consider the situation, and choose to respond appropriately, in the manner which serves you best. You are taking control of the situation and what happens next is based on your choice (response) at this point in time.
This may seem difficult to agree with... but consider how two totally different people might handle the exact same event... Here are two example scenarios:
EVENT 1: You're casually shopping for some grocerys, taking your time, and someone insults you rudely and unnecessarily for being in their way.
Person 1's Reaction: Feel Anger! Maybe swear back at them, tell them off one way or another. Feel angry for the rest of the shopping experience.
Person 2's Response: Takes a gentle breath in... Realises that the other shopper must be in a huge hurry (maybe they've left their child in the car waiting outside?), feels glad that there's no rush for themselves today... Smiles and keeps shopping in a relaxed manner.
EVENT 2: You're running late for a work (there was a black-out and you didn't realise the time, plus you were out late with friends the night before), you're a bit disorientated, but manage to quickly get dressed and ready for work, go to your car, but try as you might, the car won't start!!
Person 1's Reaction: Feel Stressed, worry about Bosses's reaction. Panic - what to do now? Catch a taxi?? Call in sick?? Confusion.
Person 2's Response: Takes a deep breath... Realises that it's Sunday morning - no work today! Enjoys a relaxed breakfast at home. Laughs about the morning's fiasco.
Notice that in each event, the cirumstances were the same for both people. In Event 2 above, it's quite likely that by the time Person 1 realises that it's not a work-day they're already in a bad mood and angry at how the morning's events went. Person 2, on the other hand, took the time to calmly respond to the situation, and inevitably stayed relaxed and will have a much better day.
You're probably thinking that the examples were too easy, and there are plenty of situations where you can't help but be stressed when things aren't going your way. But let me say this - eventually, once you really get what I'm saying, you'll realise that even when things don't appear to be going your way, there is even a positive side to that. I now know that when things seem to not be going my way, there is a good reason for it which I will discover sooner or later... Maybe I need more information, or maybe to do what I thought I wanted to would end up with a result that isn't really what I want. Maybe my timing is wrong, and I should wait until later. Once you identify and improve limiting or sabotage patterns in your subconscious, then you will be amazed at just how "perfectly" everything fits together to help you achieve your goals. Now I will move onto another significant point I feel I need to make.
I would say that almost everyone limits their success at any endeavour (or in the least increases the difficulty of achieving their goals) by simply not having a strong enough belief that the correct decisions are available to them in a flowing, effortless way and that regardless of what obstacles may arise, a solution (or indeed an even better goal!) will arise. If your subconscious programming has been restricting you regularly in life, then it's understandable that you could easily lose your faith that life can be completely carefree and that your best interests are always looked after.
I will stop here for a moment. I could go on and on, but it is quite likely that you already have too much resistance to what I have said to allow anything further that I say to have any value for you for the time being. This is not a problem, however, as even just by reading this far you have placed the foundation to allowing yourself to accept and trust more and more in ideas such as those that I have stated. The best is yet to come, and gradually you will come to not only believe, but to KNOW without doubt the truth in what I have said. It'll become quite clear that many times you are acting in a manner which you think is based on your conscious, free choice - but in actual fact is an illusion provided by your subconscious. There's no blame to place, as this is the natural way that human beings assimilate and process information. It's just a fact that in most people's upbringings their subconscious has grasped onto certain concepts which disempower them from achieving a state of absolute happiness. Indeed, your growing awareness will be the key to unlocking which choices you've been making which are were not truly of our own conscious creation, and are holding you back in some way.
If you can see at least some truth in my words so far, then I would like to implant the following thought into your conscious mind, so as to help you overcome some of the excuses your subconcious may provide you with to keep you living in a situation that you are not completely happy with. Please read this carefully and grasp the extent of its meaning:
You are creating your own life, your own reality, completely by the choices that you have made (or have chosen not to make) throughout your life. If you experience a lack of money, struggle achieving what you want, or anything else that is less than your ideal, please realise that it is completely due to your current decision making process which has put you into this situation. It is nothing to do with the outside circumstances around you. It's not the city you live in, nor the government, nor corporations, nor your job, nor your education, nor the shape of your body or the colour of your skin which is limiting you (although if it were, it's your choice as to whether you allow such a so-called limitation to have power over you). It is simply the choices you have made. Once you acknowledge this as your truth, you begin to open the door to the understanding and knowing that your life can truly become anything that you (a) Desire and (b) Believe is possible. Without realising this, and without acting on it, you are destined to continually repeat certain less than ideal patterns in your life. The universe wants you to have a wonderful, joyous life, which is why you keep repeating your mistakes - you are given the chance over and over to start making the correct choices and turn your life around almost instantly. The change at any point can be miraculous.
If you're ready, willing and committed to improving your life in ways that you previously could have only imagined, then I have listed for you a few important steps (a duplicate of something I Emailed to someone else who questioned me directly). If now is not the right time for you to accept this, then that is quite Ok. You truly have my best wishes no matter what you do from here - whether you return and re-read this information periodically or you leave never to return. Whenever you are ready, this information will be here waiting for you. And if not by my hand, you will find it elsewhere at just the time that you truly seek it. Trust in this and it will be so. Here are a few steps if you wish to take this further:
Step 1: As already mentioned, but absolutely crucial: Realise and believe wholeheartedly that your life is completely a result of your own actions and decisions (or lack thereof) up until now. Do not blame anyone or anything else.
Step 2: Refer to Step 1 until it REALLY, REALLY sinks in!
Step 3: Take some quiet time to really consider what you want, and WHY do you want it? Is it just because you're "supposed" to want/have it, because of other people's opinions? What really matters to you? Dig deeper... What REALLY matters? Try to still your mind and see what just comes to you.
Step 4: Learn to meditate, or at the very least take the time to relax for at least 20 minutes a day. Be open to feelings, intuitive flashes, memories, impulses, i.e. anything outside of your ordinary sequences of thought. Realise that many truths in life will go against your current (pre-programmed) beliefs. Be open to this and be prepared to change your views completely, despite other people's opinions and influence.
Step 5: Repeat Steps 3 & 4. Notice that once you really figure out what's important in life and what truly matters to you, things in your life will start to change virtually automatically. Be prepared and in fact look forward to stepping outside your comfort zone - try something new every day if possible! Open yourself to the teachings of enlightenend people. Learn more about people like: Michael Domeyko Rowland, Neale Donald Walsch, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, The Dalai Lama, Louise Hay, James Redfield, to name just a few. These are all wonderful people to learn from. Read some of their books, watch some videos, or listen to their audio tapes if that's more comfortable for you.
Step 6: Enjoy life, realise that no matters what happens, you always have the choice of how to respond. Keep positive. Look at obstacles or challenges as a way to improve your approach, a chance to learn, or sometimes even as a guide that you don't really want what it is you thought that you did. Believe in yourself. Trust that you are a part of something much bigger, a universal intelligence, God, or whatever you like to call it.
Step 7: Realise that in helping others, you're actually helping yourself. Be the source of that which you wish to experience in life.
Step 8: Given a choice between "being right" and "being kind", pick kindness. If everybody remains "righteous" about what they believe, this becomes the seed of war and disagreements. In any case, what societies consider as right and wrong changes with time and location. (If you think about this you'll be amazed at how much variation there is!)
Step 9: Have compassion. Some people just want to be heard, but are not willing to change and don't want to be pushed. Live and let live.
Finally, let me thank you for taking the time to read this. It has flowed for me over a period of 4-5 hours this evening, and it's been a pleasure to share this with you. Just a quick note - I may make available an Audio CD Set which explains these ideas in much more detail, including specific techniques and plenty of examples to successfully reprogram your subconscious and start your life on a path of happiness, contentment, abundance and success. Please Email me if you're interested in being contacted with more information and/or availability. Thank you.
Best wishes and prosperity,

P.S. For everyone who's enquired about the progress of my book, it's on hold due to the fact that I realised that I needed to make a prequal which covers a lot more about the subconscious, personal development, the concept of a "universal intelligence", and the infinite potential that is available to us once we undo all the restrictive programming we've grown up with and really start KNOWING the truth. This may take the form of a printed book, or a set of Audio CD's, or perhaps a combination of both. Meanwhile, I'll leave the wealth related topics below for those still interested, but I now feel the full investment book must wait as the prequel is now the priority.
P.P.S. Thanks to everyone who has Emailed and shown that I've touched them in some way. I appreciate you taking the time to write.
I'll reveal a lot more about myself over time. Please be prepared to discover knowledge and many ideas that you normally just wouldn't find when it comes to investing.
For now, here is a limited selection of some of the topics that will be discussed in my upcoming book...
[] Many of the wealthiest people who ever lived started out extremely poor.
I'll explain what the key factor is that stops most people from becoming
financially successful, and give new meaning to the saying, "you should
never judge a book by its cover". Find out also why it hardly matters
where you're starting from and what you already own (or owe!) - it's
simply a matter of "time".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] We should all know that borrowing money to buy depreciating assets (e.g.
cars, furniture) is financially not a good idea. But there can be
exceptions that will astound you, and even make you more money!
Also, find out if those tempting "Interest Free" deals are a benefit or
a hindrance to your financial well-being. You might be surprised!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] A very popular debate - "Rent vs Buy". Is owning your own home really
a good investment? My analysis will give you the true facts on this!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] Buying a new property or a pre-existing one..? Which is really the best
investment? How about buying properties with built-in profits? A gain
of just 10% in property value could mean you've DOUBLED your money, with
wise use of financing! Imagine if you could do this every few months?!
Also, find out why you usually SHOULDN'T sell any properties (even when
you retire, no matter how much debt you may still have). However, there
is one good reason to sell occasionally! Do you know what it is??
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] "Interest Only" vs "Principle and Interest" Loans - There's more than
you might realise to making the best choice here. A correct approach
will put you YEARS in front, without costing you a single dollar more!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] "Line of Credit" vs "100% Offset Accounts" - They have similar benefits
until you look at them as closely as I have. There is a distinct
difference that could damage your wealth creation significantly if you
don't understand it.
PLUS, learn ways to minimise your taxation legally for life... Afterall,
what you don't pay in tax you can keep invested. This is a huge boost!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] An ongoing debate - "Shares vs Property". Find out how the correct mix
of BOTH wins every time. Learn how to "have your cake and eat it too"!
I will also explain why anyone who simply compares shares and property
investments by looking at the historic rates of return is really giving
a misleading & totally inaccurate comparison. Don't be misguided!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] What is the real effect of saving 0.5% interest on a loan? When is it
worth it and when isn't it? Also learn why some of the most popular
lenders are unknowingly holding you back and limiting your ability to
invest further in the future. This information is worth many $1,000's!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] The reality of making losses in the Share Market. Why cutting your
losses early is such a golden rule, yet so hard to stick to. You'll see
real case studies where profitable trades end up losing, as well as why
losing 50% of your capital means you need to return 100% just to break
even again! This research will change the way you trade shares forever.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] Simple tips to improve your percentage returns on shares by upto 3% PER
MONTH, WITHOUT increasing your risk if the share price falls! And if
that doesn't sound exciting enough, with a small advanced variation on
this technique, you can return upto 59% per annum on the value of your
shares - even if the share price remains completely flat!! It's so easy
when you know how, and you'll be wishing you'd started this years ago!
Think about this...
If you have access to $200,000 (in shares, cash, or even as equity
available in a property), you could be making as much as $118,000 income
per year from this technique! Even if you'd borrowed the $200,000 at a
rate of 9% interest, you could still clear $100,000 per year after your
interest costs. Why would you put up with the insultingly low (or even
negative!) returns of superannuation or other "managed funds"? I can
also prove that this approach has less risk than simply buying and
holding shares. Don't be fooled into always thinking that "the higher
the return, the higher the risk". There are exceptions to this popular
view, and once you have the knowledge to invest wisely yourself you will
find that high returns are often achievable with much less risk than you
had first thought. YOU are truly the best one to manage your own money,
if you put in the effort to expand your knowledge and learn the best
ways to invest. With knowledge comes confidence, and with confidence
comes action - and with action you'll get results...!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] Learn how two popular games ("Chess" and the board game "Monopoly") can
boost a child's future financial potential, & how you can help children
develop the right mind-set for a happy future free of financial worries.
Most parents realise that very little is taught in schools about wealth
creation and financial planning. These days, having a good "job" just
simply is not enough, unless you can also effectively manage your money.
Understandably, parents want to make their children's lives as easy as
possible, but you'll discover how giving too much (money and/or material
possessions) to a child can, in fact, make their adult life financially
more difficult than it need be. A little restraint now can go a long
way towards a better future... One day your children will thank you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] There are many more topics, but one that's guaranteed to shift your
thinking to a whole new level will be when I reveal exactly how I have
made average returns of over 91% per annum on my invested money since
1996... My performance for the last two years is exceeding 156% per
annum, even though one year I lost over $44,000 in one investment type!
Find out exactly what I did wrong and what I've learnt from it. Learn
that true wealth just requires making the right decisions and taking the
appropriate actions. Discover why some people always seem to get what
they want in life, and others seem "jinxed" and can't get anywhere.
I'll reveal an understanding of how our mind works and you will realise
its abilities can move you forward, hold you back, or send you broke,
even despite your best intentions in everything you do. Your mind makes
a terrible master but a wonderful servant.. Learn to take full control!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[] Discover why you've managed to find this information, and why you've
read it all, and how it can unleash potential in you beyond your highest
expectations. And I'm convinced that once you start on this path, EVERY
SINGLE ASPECT of your life will improve, from relationships, to finances
to even your health. We all underestimate how much control we truly
have of our own lives... Let me explain "coincidences", and "being in
the right place at the right time". "Luck" seems to be with you, but
you'll realise there never was any such thing as luck afterall!
It's almost unbelievable how things can all start to fall into place,
once you start taking the appropriate actions. You'll find that with
persistance, you'll be able to move past the various obstacles that get
in your way (challenges and resistance are a part of life, but they are
there for a good reason and can be used to help you as you progress!!)
Before too long, you'll start to notice "life itself" (for want of a
better term) start to help you, by providing you with the opportunities,
information, people, etc, that you need to find to achieve your goals.
This may all sound like rubbish, but I assure you I am speaking from my
own real experiences (and there are many other successful people who
have also experienced the same phenomenon). It is a real challenge to
describe just how easy, natural and flowing life can become, and each
day you feel wonderfully positive and happy despite almost anything that
happens along the way. There's a sense of purpose for everything that
happens to you, whether or not things initially appear good or bad.
The most difficult part is simply STARTING on this path to success.
To just "want" something is not enough, you have to actually take ACTION
(This sounds so simple, but it is an important "secret" to getting what
you want in life, whatever that may be). There is usually resistance to
change, but once you start on your journey of self-development, you'll
gradually discover beyond all doubt that your life can be and will be
exactly what you plan and create for yourself...

P.S. I haven't written a book before, but somehow feel compelled at this point in my life to do so. I have no idea how long it'll take me to publish the book, and I'm yet to decide whether to make it available for free on the internet or to try to sell it. Time will tell. Meanwhile, please remember that your feedback will help me to make this book the best it can be, and I expect everyone reading this to tell me about it if they disagree with anything I say. My intention is to explain to anyone who is interested the investment knowledge that I wish I'd known prior to even leaving school, which I feel will be of benefit to anyone who genuinely wants to improve their lives financially (and in other ways, as will follow naturally).
DISCLAIMER: I should probably point out about now that I'm not in any way licenced to give financial advice, nor have I done any formal courses on financial planning or investment advising. Please be sure to consider all the pros and cons (risks) of any form of investment prior to investing any of your money. Also, please consider seeking independant financial and/or taxation advice (although I expect many in these industries will disagree with a lot I have to say anyway! But then I wonder just how financially successful are the people in these careers anyway?!?) My knowledge of taxation law is only relevant to Australia, so please do be sure you seek the appropriate taxation advice if you will not be living and investing in Australia. I cannot and will not be held responsible in any way for any results (both good and bad) which you may achieve having read this information, as afterall it is YOU who have chosen to act (or not act) on any part or all of it. I am simply giving you additional knowledge and information which I have personally found useful in my own investments. Past returns can never guarantee future performance, and you should always be aware of the various factors that may influence any particular investment you are undertaking. Finally, I'd recommend you truly do make your own investment decisions, and don't just blindly hand your money to any other person or organisation, regardless of how successful they may appear to be. I believe the best one to manage your money is YOU, providing you take the time to expand your knowledge to make good investment decisions. If you're not prepared to learn or work at improving yourself in some way on a continual ongoing basis, then you will be at a disadvantage and may be best only choosing the "safest" investments. Where possible I will explain the risks associated with the investment possibilites I discuss, but it is impossible for me to list all the possible problems. If in doubt, this usually means you need more information before you should act. Heed this and educate yourself further. Do not expect to wake up a rich person overnight, it will take time and a considerable amount of effort. But I feel it is more than worth it in the end. May you achieve your best and beyond...
