Steve!

What a bloody dynamite post.  A massive congratulations to you on reaping the rewards of your labour,

and also to you and your wife for your son. I think it's very awe inspiring how you're in a situation to

raise your family in such a wholesome, unique way.

I most definitely agree with not sticking to one person's methods/ideologies, like you said.

Although I'd love to jump into my first IP now, I'm doing a large amount of nation wide research to find

areas that will prove most beneficial to me reaching FF faster. I don't believe it's a case of analysis paralysis, haha.

In saying this, it's not too far over the horizon.

Thanks for your inspiring post.

Seb

Fantastic, I'll definitely look at these.

Thanks for the input!

Seb.

Thanks Jamie & Cjay,

Yes, I've looked throughout the ABS website, and can't find a complete list. It was only the second time I've been

on there, though.

SQM research is also a fantastic resource, except I'm not at that stage of my research yet; still just trying to get a

solid list of town/suburbs/cities with populations next to the name.

Thanks again.

I definitely won't be signing up for anything. Have you had any experience with Ironfish?

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave great advice on this thread.

I still feel as if I would benefit greatly from physically sitting down and discussing broad topics

with a mentor. If anyone has any ideas how to make this happen, please leave a comment.

Thanks heaps,

Seb

I have attended, and will be attending these seminars in the coming months.

Like you said, they're very frequently pushing a product. However, I find I always find they leave me

feeling inspired, and seeing things from new angles; a pro to being so new to this

form of education.

Cheers mate.

Seb

Like I said, I'm interested in developing a friendship as well. I've always enjoyed spending time with people more

knowledgeable than myself.

If a person is willing to spend time conversing with me,  I'd be more than happy to give back.

Regards,

Seb

I very much appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed response. I can now see the downside of just having one person

influencing my opinions, behaviours, and inevitably strategies. This forum seems very active, and I'm excited to fill my brain as much

as possible, and have the communities feed back on strategies ect.

I also really resonated with what you said about getting my head around behavioural aspects of PI, not just the knowledge side of things.

Thanks again, Freckle.
