Hi Brear 09
I often say to people that it is important to see and appreciate what you have. I have been through a tough 12 months However I also have a wonderful wife who has been my partner for more than 21 years and two great children. At the end of the day this is really what is important.The other things are just in place to support what is important to you.

I find that the reasons that people what change in there lives is rarely about money. It is normally about happiness and enjoyment of life.
Many people just get caught up with life and in many cases a lack of self esteem.

Make a start today do not wait until tomorrow

I work with clients everyday and I help people invest in both the United States and also in development projects in Australia. However the most important work I do is coaching and training. The reason is that most people just drift in life. While I think books like the 4 hour work week are brilliant I also know that often in the beginning people need a more simple approach. They need to start somewhere. The first thing they need to do is work out what they want to achieve. The way to do that is to sit down and write down those things that are important to you. Once you start to do this the plan will slowly take shape. Once the plane takes shape the ideas will start flowing and it will help move you in a direction to do more complex things.

This is what I teach however it is important to start with small things. People often think if I am going to write a life plan I need to make a grand gesture. However in reality we can start with little things. It might be you want a new car a holiday a new partner. It does not really matter. Once you start writing things down it will start to develop. It is not enough to say I want money you have to look beyond that and work out why you really want money. Take the time to think these things through. When you do this the answers come. Is it easy ? No it takes focus. However the end results will help you with your journey and provide you with success.

I believe that if you sit down and focus on what you want then it will happen. Most investors react rather than plan. I mean people wake up and say I will not have enough money in retirement. So they go to a seminar and buy a off the plan property and then pray that they have made the right decision. Instead think about what is important for you. I spend a great deal of time with my clients to help them to develop a life plan. Once this is done your focus on what you are doing will become far clearer.

It is a matter of writing down what you enjoy work out what makes you happy. Most people get dragged on by life and do not stop long enough to see if that’s what they want to do. Therefore may people feel unhappy and feel there is something missing in there life. So start by writing down what you like in life and what you do not like. Imagine yourself in your ideal life. What would it look like? Being successful is not just about money but also about achieving your goals
