I read and liked his first few books and help me towards wanting to learn more about financial inteliigence. They are good guidelines to start with. Nothing beats experience though and learning from OPM (Other People's Mistakes).

I had the Mark Rolton DVD set (sold it) but I personally think there are better materials out there. I like the Carly Crutchfield DVDs better once you get past the motivational stuff.

I'm currently involved with project marketing and getting more and more involved with property development.…[Read more]

Sorry to be late for the party guys. I did the course around Nov last year and I have mixed results and reactions. First, I'm glad I did the course not because of the content but because I need to 'take action' to move myself forward. I did experience the lack of support from the group not because they didn't want to but how do you cater for 100s…[Read more]
