Q Do you subscribe to visualising your end result? Yes absolutely, our minds are like a “laser guided missile”. We need a target to move towards, subconsciously more than anything. Humans are a “goal oriented” species…so its essential you visualise a clear picture of your target so that your mind can get to work and manifest. The alternative, worst case scenario, is that you feed your mind with aimless distractions such as trash tv, tabloid news, pointless news feeds on social media. My advice to all of you is be selective, if you knew how powerful your own mind was in creating your present reality, you would nurture it so much better!
Q When you were moving from optometry, to real estate, to FX trading. Did you ever have a goal for this grand plan, or was it micro planning? Yes absolutely…I did all the points I mentioned above. I had one very clear goal however. That was that I wanted to be in business and never employed. Life gives you the answers when you remain obsessed with the end goal. The exact detail in the ventures were not always thought out, they came into alignment after I knew where I wanted to go and who I wanted to be in the process. The IPO venture for example is one area I had no idea I would ever get to, but as a famous person once said: “when you get to your goal, you can always see the next one”.
Q How do you handle disappointment or something not going as planned? There are so many set-backs and I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t feel a sense of disappointment at times. However, it’s all about how long you stay in that state. Sometimes I am disappointed for just 5 minutes, perhaps because I recognise the problem from one similar in the past and thus know immediately how to deal with it. If it’s an unforeseen problem, one that is a complete curveball, then yes, I may be disappointed for a few hours, but I get to work immediately on understanding the root of the problem and how it can be fixed. Believe it or not, every problem has a solution. A great shift in how I deal with problems came from a spiritual angle. I discovered total detachment from a monetary or status driven outcome. This is something trading financial markets forces you to discover, but it was by far the greatest discovery I have had to date.
Q How did you set goals when you began Fortune Academy? In exactly the same way – obviously then it was more about how I could serve my students best. That is where I came up with the Lifetime Education offer, for which we are the first in the world as a wealth education company.
Q Do you teach goal setting at your Millionaire Mindset workshops? Yes, the workshops are a preview to the lifetime mentorship I provide through the Millionaire Mindset Program, so I go through the SAME training here that I do with Credit Suisse Private Bankers in Switzerland. It’s an intense process and I keep the group to just 15 people, to keep the quality of the training high and very powerful! So many breakthroughs come from this event! It is my favourite program for sure!
Q For people who may feel a little disempowered and directionless, would you subscribe them to having some kind of mentor? Always. It is difficult to see past your own limitations. A mentor’s job is to push you to a level where you’ve never been, because you didn’t know you could. Take for example my business owner student who embarked on this Millionaire Mindset Training just over a year ago. She was earning approximately £20k a month through her online business. Having attended the Millionaire Mindset retreat (part of the lifetime program) where I take them through the 6 step process as described briefly in your top question, I made her hit a £50k monthly revenue target a month. Six months later, she reattended the retreat and I forced her to double her financial goals. Within 2 weeks she made £100k a month and casually made £91k in a single day in December 2019. She now says that making money is something she perceives as “easy” now that she follows the step by step process in the program! She recently joined her husband to the program so that he too can experience the success she has had. Note that I make all my students set goals for family, health and their business life together. There is no point making wealth when all else is falling apart around you! This same student goal set her “daughter” and lo and behold, she gave birth to a beautiful, healthy girl in early January this year. Its beautiful when a student follows the process I teach and so much wealth, success and happiness manifests in her life. She remained a humble student throughout the process which was crucial to her using my mentoring effectively throughout the process. P - 29
