Tighter than a fishes…..
ByFrom today my written blogs and video blogs take separate paths for a while. I am running a video blog series on how to get healed and deal with the issues in our lives that cause us to fail at investing and life and cause us to make bad decisions or be controlled by fear etc.
This involves exploring ourselves as spiritual beings and as I know some of you may be uncomfortable with that I am going to continue with reloading and updating my previous blogs in written form, whilst the video component will be on an entirely different thread.
So I leave you to decide which you are happy looking at!!
From September 2006
We’re a funny lot us kiwi’s. We all love to make money but boy we hate parting with it. My wife and I have been preparing for our first ever workshop “Behind Closed Doors”. We’re now organising a follow up as the first one is sold out. But the funny thing has been people’s attitudes and reactions in some cases.
I have a motto of making my money out of property trading, not people, so we decided to just cover costs with the workshop fee, rather than make it a money making exercise. So we charged about a fifth or even a tenth of what the workshops real value is.
We have had people ask for discounts, people unhappy about having to pay etc. You name it we’ve been asked it. Now I don’t mind that in one sense, we’re all in for a bargain. But the level of requests amazed me. When you’re already practically getting something for nothing why do us kiwi’s still have to be unhappy?
So my encouragement to you today is learn to get over not investing in yourself. If you think $125, or $1000 or $5000 is too much for a whole day or 2 of fabulous information then you will never get the education you need.
I estimate my wife and I have spent maybe 30 or 40 grand on educationg ourselves in the last 2 years and that education has enabled us to purchase now over 9 million dollars worth of property and increase our net worth by close to 3 million now. And we’ve achieved that by investing in ourselves and then taking Massiveaction!!
I seriously encourage you all to do the same
Since posting this blog we have run one of the country’s largest 1 day events where we were fundraising for our charity work in Fiji so we did charge a lot more than Behind Closed Doors. And you know the funny thing was….. we had very few complaints or requests for discounts. We people are weird!!
And now as we prepare for our final major event again in Wellington and Christchurch we are finding people willing to invest in themselves and support our work with the poor. In fact we are deeply humbled by your support of us personally and Massive Action and we are excited to be able to put top quality information into so many willing hands and be able to bless another nation!!
God is good. Stay safe till tomorrow!!
PS Reminder that Wellington and Christchurch, but especially Wellington, is filling fast. Please book soon as we can’t find a bigger venue and we want to see you there!! BOOKING AND INFO HERE
