  • Post Navra Rush

    Nella and I just flew back from Steve Navra’s Optimising Investment Structures course. If you want to get financially independant, are pushed for time, and are less than a genius, then book into one of these before Steve decides he has enough Australian clients and goes off to revolutionise the USA. If you are based…

  • Brains or Money 2

    Sim’ is shaking up my thinking again. He focused on my A students working for C students quote. ‘A’ students are not renown for thinking outside the box. There is a bias within western education to look for the single right answer. This normally means that A students need someone to grade their work and…

  • Anthony Robbins Wealth Mastery (TM)

    After posting about Steve Navra’s Optimising Investment Structures course earlier, I got home to find a brochure for Anthony Robbin’s Wealth Mastery. I registered and attended Wealth Mastery in 1998 or 1999. I admire Tony Robbins very much, the man is extremely talented as a motivator, influencer and coach. There was also a good discount…

  • Steve Navra :: Optimising Investment Structures

    Nella and I are attending Steve Navra’s Optimising Investment Structures course this weekend in Melbourne. A little bird told me this may be the last formal course Steve will run in Melbourne. Nella normally hates going to courses, preferring to put into practice the things she’s learned over the years. We could once have been…

  • Following the pack

    Nova 96.9, the Sydney radio station, are running a contest called Double Dilema. They give a tricky situation and ask you to SMS your choice, then tune in at 5pm and see if Sydney agrees with what you think. Random prizes are offered to induce participation. Sydney’s Channel 7 Sunrise program also uses Yes/No phone…

  • Brains or Money

    Further to yesterday’s post on smarts being an obstacle to wealth. I remember reading ‘A’ students go on to work for ‘C’ students and ‘B’ students go on to work for the government. I don’t remember where I read it, but it was during the late 1980’s. let me know if you have a reference…

  • Sim’ Rhymes with Time

    Sim’ is a very smart friend of mine. So smart in fact that I think he would already be filthy, stinking, rich if he weren’t so smart. It’ll take him a few years longer, coz he’s finally learned that making money can be simple. That should be a compliment, comment below if it came out…

  • Flu and Harry Potter

    I thought I was doing very well, having ducked 4 flu’s around the office this winter. Pride goeth before the fall. So I’m feeling miserable with a box of tissues. I’ve been reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (HP4) with my 9 year-old daughter, Gaby, then burning a little midnight oil reading Harry…

  • Navra Funds

    I finally found time to meet with an advisor from Navra Financial Services. We discussed property and share investments as well as an investment in the Navra Blue Chip Australian Share Retail Fund. The financial plan is being prepared and will be ready in a couple of weeks. Very exciting stuff. Hopefully we’ll buy another…

  • Second Correct Answer

    I was interviewing for new distributors today. It was strange as I had my Queensland manager down to help. One interesting side-effect of the shuttle interviews was two correct answers to the same questions. But our answers were often diametrically opposed, even contradictory. How can this be? One sign of maturity is recognising there is…
