Dolf de Roos - Biography

2007-02-24T17:53:00.000-08:00

Although born in New Zealand, Dolf de Roos started kindergarten in Europe, and went on to attend school in a variety of countries. This early introduction to travel no doubt contributed to his present propensity to move around. Today, speaking six languages and holding business interests in a number of regions, he considers himself a citizen of the world.

While studying Electrical Engineering at the University of Canterbury, Dolf realized electrical engineering, though inherently interesting, was not necessarily lucrative. A subsequent nine-month study of the rich followed to determine what qualities they had in common. Attributes they did not share were age, gender, race, creed, country of origin or education. Surprisingly, it did not even matter whether or not they were born into rich families.

Dolf did note one common denominator; almost without exception, the rich either made their money through property, or held their wealth in property. This finding marked a shift in Dolf's focal point. Although he continued on to earn a PhD in Engineering, Dolf began investing in property as an undergraduate student.

Over the years, as his successes with property became apparent, Dolf was cajoled into sharing the "why" and "how" of his real estate investment strategies. He has run public seminars throughout Australia, New Zealand, Asia, North America, and Europe, trained real estate agents, written and published eight best-selling property books including the New York Times Best Seller Real Estate Riches, as well as introduced software to both analyze and manage investment property.

Consequently, his views on property are esteemed, and he is often asked to address investors' conferences, appear on radio shows, and take part in television debates.
In the late 1990s Dolf launched a public company, "Property Ventures Limited" of which he is the chairman. Property Ventures is now gaining momentum as an innovative property investment company, with holdings ranging from high-rise apartment buildings to high-end vineyards.

People who are familiar with Dolf know him as being passionate about the psychology of wealth in general, real estate in particular, and more than willing to share the fruits of his ongoing quest for knowledge.

Book Review - Awake The Giant Within

2007-01-18T07:06:00.000-08:00

"Awaken the Giant Within" - How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny! was written by Anthony Robbins back in 1992.

It is 544 pages of the man's motivational techniques and self help tips. Awaken the Giant Within covers a wide range of topics, from goal setting, to Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), personal finance, and relationships.

The book comes across as fast paced and entertaining, just like he is on his many infomercials. It covers a lot of material, with much of it requiring you to make positive changes and work on yourself. So it is probably best skimmed, before going back to chapters that relate most to your life.

Robbins uses a lot of techniques that are either influenced by or are taken from the pseudoscientific principles of Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). But Awaken the Giant Within is more than a book derived from NLP, it is a manual for life. If one technique or chapter does not work for you, there are plenty more in the book that can.

Anthony Robbins has copped plenty of criticisms for his infomercials, his personal life, and his high priced seminars, but Awaken the Giant Within is a self help classic. Awaken the Giant Within Book Quotes

"After making a true decision, even a tough one, most of us feel a tremendous amount of relief. We've finally gotten off the fence! And we all know how great it feels to have a clear, unquestionable objective." Tony Robbins

"The truth is that we can learn to condition our minds, bodies, and emotions to link pain or pleasure to whatever we choose. By changing what we link pain and pleasure to, we instantly change our behaviors." Tony Robbins

"The past doesn't equal the future. All great leaders, all people who have achieved in any area of life, know the power of continuously pursuing their vision, even if all the details of how to achieve it aren't yet available." Tony Robbins

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill

2007-01-09T15:01:00.000-08:00

Suatu hari di usia tuanya Winston Churchill mengunjungi sebuah sekolah dasar dimana ia pernah bersekolah saat masih kecil dan akan menyampaikan sebuah pidato. Sang kepala sekolah berpesan kepada murid-muridnya "Ini adalah saat-saat bersejarah, Winston Churchill adalah pembicara berbahasa inggris yang paling hebat.

Tuliskan semua kata-kata yang diucapkannya. Ia akan menyampaikan sebuah pidato yang tak terlupakan"

Ketika Churchill berpidato, sejenak ia memandang ke anak-anak itu dengan kacamata yg dilorotkan, kemudian berkata :"Never Give Up....Never Give Up....Never Give Up....!!" lalu ia kembali ke tempat duduknya.

Sebagian besar murid sekolah tsb sangat kecewa dengan pidato yang sangat singkat itu, namun sang kepala sekolah merasa bahwa itu adalah pidato Churchill yang paling hebat.
Sebuah ciri khas Churchill yang paling menonjol adalah keuletannya. Ia tidak pernah menyerah dan sikap itulah yang menginspirasikan Inggris saat Perang Dunia II untuk terus berjuang ketika yang lainnya telah menyerah.

Keuletan artinya terus berpegang pada perjuangan kita. Keuletan artinya kita konsisten dengan kata-kata kita. Keuletan adalah tentang "mengamalkan ucapan kita dengan perbuatan nyata".

Anthony Robbins - Biography

2007-01-02T06:40:00.000-08:00

Anthony Robbins (Tony Robbins) is a best selling self help author, motivational speaker, and advisor to many world leaders, sports professionals and business people.

He is an internationally recognized personality and has appeared on countless infomercials, television interviews, talk shows, radio programs, and has even appeared as himself in the romantic comedy "Shallow Hal" starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Jack Black.

Tony Robbins was born on the 29th of February 1960 (leap year), California, USA. He became determined to change his life after a particularly low period in his life where he was struggling to pay his bills, over weight and without direction.Robbins transformed his life and developed systems to change the lives of thousands more. Neuro-linguistic programming or NLP became an integral part of Robbins' current philosophy and teachings.

His popular motivational technique "neuroassociative conditioning" was developed from the teachings of NLP. Anthony Robbins gets his message out to an international audience of millions through his best selling motivational books, audio programs, motivational seminars, motivational coaching and the philanthropic work that he and his companies do with the less privileged members of society.

Some of his popular motivational products include:Awaken the Giant Within: Book & Audio ProgramHow to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical, and Financial Best selling self help book where Tony Robbins sets out to teach the reader strategies to achieve success in life, overcome phobias, improve relationships, and to make lasting change by eliminating destructive habits.

The organization now feeds more than 500,000 people each year worldwide during Thanksgiving, Easter and December holidays.

Amazing Community, Think Like A Winner in 2007

2006-12-31T20:46:00.000-08:00

Donald J. Trump, Chairman of Trump University, knows that success begins in your own mind.
So as the year 2007 begins, I'd like to share with Amazing Community his thoughts on success, taken from the pages of my new book,

"Ask yourself whether you're doing what you want and what is right for you."

"Be positive every day. If you're not, no one will think you can succeed."

"Believe in yourself, exude confidence, and get in your competitors' way. Project yourself into their picture and upset their status quo."

"Break loose from your comfort zone by moving forward with the power and momentum that positive thinking creates."

"Zap negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. Whatever energy you expend will build the positive stamina that is vital for success."

"Ignore the expectations of others. Stand up to your friends, family, teachers, colleagues and those who think that they know what's best for you. Plug into your own energy."

Robert's Teachings

2006-12-26T06:17:00.000-08:00

A large part of Kiyosaki's teachings focus on generating passive income by means of investment opportunities, such as real estate and small businesses, with the ultimate goal of being able to support oneself by such investments alone. In tandem with this, Kiyosaki defines "assets" as things that generate money, such as rental properties or businesses, and "liabilities" as things that cost money, such as house payments, cars and so on. Kiyosaki also proclaims financial leverage to be critically important in becoming rich.

Kiyosaki stresses what he calls "financial education" as a means to obtaining wealth. He says that life skills are often best learned through experience and that there are important lessons not taught in school. He says that formal education is primarily for those seeking to be employees or self-employed individuals, and that this is an "Industrial Age idea". And according to Kiyosaki, in order to obtain financial freedom, one must be either a business owner or an investor, generating passive income.

Kiyosaki speaks often of what he calls "The Cashflow Quadrant," a conceptual tool that aims to describe how all the money in the world is earned. Depicted in a diagram, this concept entails four groupings, split with two lines (one vertical and one horizontal). In each of the four groups there is a letter representing a way in which an individual may earn income. The letters are as follows.

E: Employee — Working for someone else
S: Self-employed or Small business owner — Where a person owns their own job and is their own boss.
B: Business owner — Where a person owns a "system" of making money, rather than a job to make them money.
I: Investor — Spending money in order to receive a larger payout in return.

For those on the left side of the divide (E and S), Kiyosaki says that they may never obtain true wealth. Conversely, those on the right side of the divide (B and I) are supposedly following the only road to true wealth

Make It Happen in Your Life

2006-12-24T09:40:00.000-08:00

by Donald J. Trump

"You cannot teach a man anything; You can only help him find it within himself." - Galileo
In a recent issue of Business Week magazine, I was voted, by their readers, as "the world's most competitive businessperson" and voted by the staff and writers of Business Week as one of the top 10 most competitive businesspeople on the planet. To me, that is a great honor. It also underscores why I emphasize taking the initiative in order to "make it happen in your life."

I am a competitive person and to me that's a good thing, because it's the opposite of being complacent. I've talked before how complacency can keep you in a comfort zone, which isn't always the best place to be. I also compete with myself, which is the ultimate form of competition. Trying to best yourself can make your aspirations even more significant.

For example, I have achieved great success as a developer. I'm the biggest developer in New York. Who do I compete with in that case? The answer is pretty simple: myself. I've mentioned the importance of self-motivation before, and that's one reason why. It's also a great way to challenge yourself and to keep your momentum where it should be-moving forward. I'm always looking for ways to do things better, no matter how much success I may have encountered.

Some people say that's a good way to never find satisfaction. Well, I don't believe in being self-satisfied, or for very long anyway. There's no reason we can't toot our own horns once in awhile, but hey, we all know that the world is moving forward quickly and keeping up with it is important. I like being on the cutting edge of progress. I don't like being someone who sits back and watches it go by.

Unless you plan to spend your time in a café, sipping cappuccino and watching life go by, I'd advise you to take some steps towards making what you want to happen in your life actually happen. The fact that you are reading this now gives me an indication that you're not a café type, but a person who is serious about success and achievement.

There is an old riddle that brings this to light: Five frogs are sitting on a log. Four decide to jump off. How many are left? Answer: Five. Why? Because there's a difference between deciding and doing. Think about that one for awhile and see if it pertains to you. Let's hope it doesn't, but if it does, there's still time to get going and start making things happen in your life.

The first step will be to find out what you love doing. As you know, I'm a firm believer that passion is absolutely necessary in order to achieve comprehensive success. I say 'comprehensive' success because in order to be truly successful, it's important that you feel fulfilled by what you are doing. Otherwise, what's the point? Empty success is success without passion. It's like going to school and tuning in just enough to pass so you can get out and do what you really want to be doing, or having a job that makes you watch the second hand ticking on the clock.

As Galileo said, a teacher's job is to help you find it within yourself to do what it is you should do. Then again, maybe you already know. We've all heard stories of how people bucked the system and defied their teachers and families, and became huge successes. They were persistent and steadfast, but above all they had tremendous passion for what they were doing. That made them indomitable. Michelangelo's family was dead set against him becoming an artist. He became one anyway, against great odds. Einstein wasn't a great student, but he had an amazing mind and he exceeded all expectations.

Either way, the point is to find out what you love and then take the steps to make it happen for you. Learn to compete with yourself and see how much you can accomplish. It's a great feeling to know you have the ability to make things happen in your life. In short, don't watch life from the sidelines. Get out there and go for it!
Donald J. Trump is Chairman of Trump University. He shares more of his advice for achieving ultimate success in the new book, Trump 101.
