Acknowledgements
Firstly, I would like to thank my wonderful wife, Jessie, who has inspired me, supported me, encouraged me, trusted me and loved me unconditionally. She has shown me how to live a life of love, laughter, happiness and joy.
I would also like to thank Tony Robbins. You are an amazing man and have been a huge part of my life for over 20 years. Your insight, honesty and generosity are at a level I constantly aspire to achieve.
To Jessie Torres, you are an amazing lady who has taught me to be a better me. Your attention to detail and kindness mean a lot to me. Thank you.
To Scott Harris, thank you for your energy and your wisdom (no, not your 4 th child). You have truly shown me the meaning of living deliberately, and I am constantly amazed how much I achieve under your guidance.
To Darren J Stephens, I believe everything in life happens for a reason, and we met for a reason. Without our meeting this book would never have been written. Your knowledge, conviction and resourcefulness are without limits. Thank you for sharing your gifts with me. I am forever grateful.
To Fletcher Searle, you are one of the rare few people in this world who understand exactly how to use the push versus pull principle. Your support and encouragement, at exactly the right time, in exactly the right manner, will never be forgotten. Thank you for your genuine generosity.
To Kevin Enright, Fiona Lane, Basil Nuredini and Karen Blee, thank you all for your encouragement, support and gentle nudging to get this book done. I couldnt have done it without you all.
To Keith Abraham, you are a constant source of inspiration, through your books and your blog. You taught me how to think big, to challenge myself and to commit to making my dreams come true.
To my Dad, you taught me much about work ethic, rapport building and business principles from an early age. That has set me on good stead for the rest of my life. I know you made a lot of sacrifices for me and I am truly grateful.
To my Mum, thank you for all your love, care and hard work raising us three kids.
To my grandfather, Nonno Cordi, thank you for all the sacrifices you made so your descendants could have a better future. You have taught me many life lessons, the most important being age is just a number. As you enter into your 92 nd year, keep exercising, building things and learning new things, as you have always done.
To my other grandfather, Nonno Macri, thank you for all the sacrifices you made so your descendants could have a better future. Although you are no longer with us, your happy, caring and fun nature will never be forgotten.
To my sister Mary-Anne, if I were an architect you would be the builder. Thank you for your tireless efforts to get it done, when it needed to be done. You have been a great sounding board for me, and I know your future is full of success and abundance.
To my brother in law, Darren, you are the ultimate quiet achiever. Thank you for your support and calm level headed advice and opinions.
To Robert Kiyosaki, I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad over 20 years ago now, and played Cashflow about 5 years ago. What a great gift you have given to me. Thank you for inspiring me to get out of the rat race.
To the Criminal and Justice department, thank you for your tireless and meticulous work in gathering and processing all the statistics on crime. It has given me great insight, and your commitment to making our lives safer is greatly appreciated.
To Neil Hibbard, thank you for teaching me all about alarm systems.
To Paul Sheehan, you were my first professional mentor. Your calm focus and entrepreneurial abilities are what I aspire to achieve. You always answer my calls for help, and your level headedness in business has taught me much.
To Anthony Ghosen, thank you for your fairness, generosity and assistance when I purchased your business in 2007. You paved the way for me to take that business to new heights, and to set my sights on bigger and better things. Your friendship and career path have motivated me to strive for greater achievement.
To Geoffrey, my father in law, you are my role model for hard work, property investing, work ethic, family values and generosity.
To John & Ang Startari, you are amazing people who have always trusted in me and encouraged me to reach for the stars. Your support and love in the high times and the low times mean the world to me.
And finally, to my darling children, Chloe and Lucas, you are amazing little bundles of joy. You make me laugh, smile and test my patience. You have changed my life for the better, and have taught me much about simple pleasures.
