So what was your formula for success Arnie?

I gather its been through property investment but do you have any specific investment strategies that have worked the best for you?

arniegang · Jul 06, 2006

i follow the 3 rules of life, without which success is not possible

Risk , Luck and Determination, knowledge helps but it is always dependant on my 3 principles

This advice is free of charge.

ajb · Jul 06, 2006

Thanks .... so does that mean that you provide a mentoring service or property consultancy at a fee?

ajb · Jul 06, 2006

Knowledge is good but you can always hire it from someone else

arniegang · Jul 06, 2006

noooooooooooo

it means one has to make it oneself, never be reliant on others. If you dont have it, no one can give it to you

i disagree, you are only buying someone else's opinion.

you should never buy knowledge, it is freely available.

ajb · Jul 06, 2006

not sure if you understood my post .... I mean that when I need legal advice I hire a lawyer (as I do not have the knowledge myself) tax advice an accountant etc etc

To acquire the levels of knowledge to function at a competant level in all those areas would take most of your life with little or no time to spend creating wealth.

arniegang · Jul 06, 2006

ok i got you, but i was referring to that which contributes to success. In the case of say hiring a lawyer, this is not relevant.

I would view this as merely a tool to be used on the road to success.

good twist to this thread. Ajb did you read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" ?

arniegang · Jul 06, 2006

ohhh i wrote that book

:lol:

A book by a man with a strategy he never followed. Makes it kind of hard to swallow. Personally, I feel Robert T. Kiyosaki will the demise of many people's 'fortunes'. Overgearing is always problematic.

The message of leverage though is a good message, I've read it in many business books.

Interesting i never researched his life but why do you say he never followed his own advice ? I am not exactly sure of what you mean by "overgearing" too.

MaaaD · Jul 06, 2006

Thanks that was interesting !

ajb · Jul 07, 2006

Yeah I read a few of his books and while they were useful for changing ones perceptions they didnt seem to carry a huge amount of weight. However it was his book that at age 19 made me realise that whilst driving a WRX was "cool" I was in fact driving around in my first house deposit .... so the car went and the properties started to come.

Personally I much prefer John Burley and Steve McKnights work though.

Hi All, Thanks for changing the subject

that's a good what of twisting reality. I have joined a club which has a dance class, i didn't like it that much but i have to admit that it was fun. I have this thought that dance isn't nice without a partner unless there was someone cute in that class which is totally not the case at all. Conclusion i'm back to my regulars!

Poor cutie... Actually I was having some serious thoughts of joining a salsa class but I am just afraid of ending up with some old ppl... Like you said it's important to at least attend one class before registering

cutielb · Jul 08, 2006

You know this salsa thing reminds me of a class i went to once at wafi. i ended up with a sweaty guy (God!) so i said khalas! but i said oh here is another dance class let me try it was even worse!!! haha ( so no more dance classes for me until i find my partner )

Still on topic I thought?....just discussing the ways of escaping the work>home >work > home > work rat race that your first post was about.
