Property Twin's Story

Not everyday, but often enough and eating out on smashed avo equivalents and 3-4 $4-5 coffees per day.
Ouch...

 

Exactly, income seldom surpasses your personal growth/your philosophy. He is my hero and mentor too. I can listen to him forever! Well done and keep posting your progress years ahead.
I have summarised his FIVE MAJOR PIECES OF LIFE PUZZLE, perhaps others can benefit from it? So I will paste it below:

THE MAJOR KEY TO YOUR FUTURE IS YOU!

IF YOU DO NOT LIKE SOMETHING CHANGE IT, YOU ARE NOT A TREE!

FIVE MAJOR PIECES OF LIFE PUZZLE!

1. Philosophy (your view on everything in life – you need to change you, your habits). Ideas can be life changing that can turn your life around. Major determining factor in how your life works out! You have to think, have ideas, process experiences, thinking. It is like a set of the sail, not circumstances in your life, not what happens to you but rather how you deal with it. It is easy to blame government, taxes, colleges, schools, negative relatives, the weather, being raised in obscurity, blaming the company and their policies, having lousy job, these are all circumstances which will happen, they are out of your control, this is not your personal philosophy (that makes you different from all!). In winter goose can only fly south even if it doesn’t look good, tough luck, but humans can go north or west, other ways, so we can plan, we can process what is available. We can learn, solve, deal, think, and strengthen our philosophy! You don’t need better company you need a better sail! You cannot blame circumstances as that is all you have, that’s all there is, and if you blame that you only have to work with, it is mistake colossal! So you don’t change the sun, sunshine, seasons, day and night, you need to take it as it comes so you have to start with your philosophy, you mind, your thinking! So refine your sail, you don’t have to wait tomorrow, next week, next year, or when you are 90, you can choose to change right now!

FAILURE DEFINITION:

A FEW ERRORS IN JUDGEMENT REPEATED EVERYDAY! An apple a day keeps the doctor away, it is not the Hershey Bar or Oreos, imagine eating them for six years, what will that do to your health? It will accumulate to your disaster. Doesn’t matter whether it is applied to your health or finances or relationships, etc.!

SUCCESS DEFINITION:

A FEW SIMPLE DISCIPLINES PRACTICED EVERYDAY! So if you decide to eat an apple a day, you have started this process, to healthier you. It is your choice to start this process it is that simple! Whether it is applied to your health, or finances, or relationships, etc.! So amend your errors…

Personal change - Your own philosophy will determine whether you will go with disciplines (good habits) or continue with errors called potential disasters. You don’t have to change countries/governments but you do have to change your own philosophy, then you can turn around your income, bank account, skills, your grades, your health, your relationships, you can become influential, sophisticated, capable, powerful, all other equities you want from your life, then you don’t have to worry to change ALL that other stuff, no need to find a new planet, ask for another book, ask for another idea, ask for another seminar!

So as simple as apple a day, walking each day, reading 15 minutes a day, etc.… Simple steps, without having your future well designed you will take hesitant steps!

2. Attitude (how we feel, self-worth, use it as a school, don’t beat yourself about the past, set goals for the future). Life change starts with education not just motivation and inspiration. If a guy is an idiot and you start with motivation you will motivate an idiot! So start with education!!!

3. Activity (work, labour part, taking action, do what you can and do best you can). God said, “If you plant a seed I will make a tree”, miracle has been already set up by God, but God just needs somebody to plant. Turning wisdom from attitude and philosophy and investing into action, you will create a miracle!

Make a personal list, what are you neglecting, your errors in judgement, what to do today, make a list. How many books will it take to solve it, whatever it takes! “Go fishing” as simple as Jesus said to disciples! If you should fish, and you could fish and will fish than miracle will belong to you. So if you should change, could change and will change you will create your miracle, your great life!

1. Do what you can, what you haven’t done, postponed, you cannot start a better life change process unless you start now, so make a list, start action on your neglects.

2. Do the best you can, it will not be the economy that will determine your next 6 years, it is your philosophy, about labour, activity, economy, banks, money, schools, your equities, what is going on, and then take action!

4. Results, (is the name of the game – what other game is there, LESSON IN LIFE - make measurable progress in reasonable time) see how you are doing, take a measure, don’t let too much time go by without checking. How much money have you saved an invested, how much time have you dedicated to study, how many walks you made to a healthier you, etc. How many books have you read in the last 90 days, wisdom of the world available, and you haven’t read any books, you have messed up! How many classes have you taken in the last 6 months? How many sails have you set?

Success is a numbers game! How committed are you?

5. Lifestyle, (learning how to live well), after applying above then “fashion” for yourself the good life. “If you wish to be wealthy study wealth” (how to do well). Show me your personal economic plan? So study, and change and within 5 years, if you make your commitment, this will be the most exciting day of your life. “If you wish to be happy study happiness” (how to live well). Happiness is something you design, a culture, a study, an art, it doesn’t happen by chance.
