Why are some people, be they property investors, business people or entrepreneurs, more successful than others? One of the key philosophies of my Mentorship Program is that successful people not only do different things from the average Australian, but they think very differently.

I ski the back-country a lot, so I pay close attention to reports of avalanches. In particular, I pay attention when a skier is caught and killed by one.

Over the years I have seen many people think about getting rich, proclaiming affirmations, visualizing and meditating yet they don’t get rich. Let’s be realistic… to get ahead in the real world you have to take action. Why is it that most people don’t take action? Sometimes it is a lack of knowledge, but more…
This statement contradicts just about every evolutionary instinct we possess. We tend to seek out safety and avoid risk whenever possible. A classic example has to be the instinct that (still) tells us we are safer staying with the group. If members of the herd stray, they are easier for predators to pick off. Staying…
