    By buying the book for $2, you've proved that you have the millionaire mindset, and therefore you don't need the book.

    touché :p

    But what if I missed a powerful line in the book...One of my favourite teachings from another book is " far better eating alone then to mingle with those whose conversations are negative".

    Most people who read this stuff just read it and its all forgotten. Its only when you actually apply it and live it, that your life starts to dramatically change.

    At the moment my office seems to be my car as I'm here there and everywhere with 2 projects finishing up and needing a lot of onsite attention and 2 projects about to roll on that need a lot of tile shop etc visits. I'm really looking forward to moving into new PPOR in a few months and having a proper office.

    Had to do a Pano, I work on multiple devices.

    DesktopPano.JPG

    The triple screen setup is my normal use surface pro, that has a couple of VM's on it which are used for various report to run on. The blacked out screen is for my .NET coding surface pro (off the domain) and also for Raspberry Pi devices. The last screen is for a distributed music and image signage solution (called RedRox) which I use to push content to screens in our 54 sites around the country.

    Including the VM's I am running around 8 devices at any time. I much prefer for extra computers to do my work for me than do it myself ;).

    All the investy stuff has happened from my standard triple screen setup, I don't do anything from home for this stuff because I use the scanner at work to create digital copies of absolutely everything I receive and sign then file off onto my work machine and my home machine for safe keeping.

    My wife is definitely not OCD. That stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and she can't stand any sort of disorder whatsoever. She's more into OCO.

    I'm much more the disordered one.

    Perhaps it should be CO. Obsessive and Compulsive mean almost the same thing, so COO is a tautology. So even though COO is in alphabetical order, it should just be called Compulsive Order.

    MTR where is yours? Sorry, cannot share, would need to move much personal stuff, however it is much larger then Leo2413, I am amazed at some people how productive they are with such minimal space, just goes to show we are so different.

    Well I've always been a book person. Love reading and learning. At the very beginning of my journey I was super hungry for knowledge and would read almost everything related to wealth creation and real estate to see all kinds of opinions, perspectives and styles. That's the single most empowering (investing wise) thing I have done to this day. :)

    If I had to pick one of his favourite teachings it would probably be "your personal philosophy is the greatest determining factor in how your life will eventually turn out".
