Allan PeaseAllan lives a life of passion everyday.In school Allan’s teacher said to him ‘Your career is going to be as a professional smart arse’.And that is exactly what he is…. but he uses it to benefit other people’s lives.He learned positivity and communication skills to work his way out of housing commission as a child to be a millionaire by the age of 30.By the age of 40 he built an international empire in the Body Language series. He was an internationally acclaimed author and consulted to royalty, rock stars and prime ministers.But he lost it all.He went into debt and also got diagnosed with 2 types of cancer.

That is the level of focus he brings to his life.Top performers who are ridiculously successful are rich not because they are chasing a buck but because of the intense enthusiasm they have for their craft.If you are doing something without being under the spell of intense enthusiasm your chances of achieving success are limited.It is a decision ... you fuel it … you fan its flames.Louise is enthusiastic about trading and what it means for Mentorees.

Political Trading
On the back of the recent US election, this week’s episode features Hon. Sandra Nori, the former NSW Minister of Sport/Recreation and Women. We hear a few of the things Sandra learnt in the bear pit of the parliamentary floor, how she harnessed her ambition and what advice she would give to younger people. Hon. Sandra NoriPolitics was in Sandra’s blood.She wanted to be an MP from primary school.So she followed her heart and after years of grinding work and door knocking she was elected as the Minister for Sport and Recreation and Women for 17 years in the NSW Parliament.The hardest thing was getting the confidence in the first place to say you are good enough. But once she started…. she didn’t stop.In the bear pit of Australian politics Sandra learnt how to communicate. She learnt how to be heard by the male parliamentarians - to be taken seriously to get her reforms pushed through the parliamentary floor she learnt to give no extraneous information and keep very focused on each point. She found she had to sound half angry in order to get them to listen to her... in other words, she spoke like a bloke.Sexism comes when men don’t appreciate the skills women bring and they often categorise them into weakness. In Sandra’s opinion men do hear the female voice but often it is categorised into the either the lover or nagging wife role.Her biggest piece of advice to women and to men – GET EDUCATED. Especially for the women. Prince Charming may never come or may not turn out to be so charming after all.Habits of success Sandra learnt along the way:Eat the ugliest frog first in the morning.Put things into bite size chunks and get through 10 or 15% of them each day.And most importantly – follow your dreams. Follow what brings a smile to your face and that is what you are supposed to do.

Realistic objections, which are logistics that you need to get handled.b. Inner critics, which are beliefs created from self-talk.c. Actual people.2) The Imposter Complex wants you not trusting your capacityThe solution is show yourself what you can do. Do an audit of everything you have done. Every time we have filled that YOU shaped hole in the universe and stepped out and stood your sacred ground. Be your own standard of excellence.Make sure you celebrate too: At the end of everyday do a scan and take note where you were truly excellent. Every time you expanded, grown, healed, overcome. So when other people give us accolades and acknowledgements we are more able to receive them.3) Imposter Complex likes you alone.The solution is to get social and assemble your cast.

Blueprint to Wealth
How to be an empowered investor and beat every active mutual fund.Protect your nest egg with this week’s episode. Gary Stone author of Blueprint to Wealth discusses the massive underperformance of mutual funds and how everyday investors can accrue millions more profit over their working life by investing in ETFs and Index Funds. You don’t need to be a share trader…. you just need good common sense…. and 15 minutes every three months. Also hear Louise Bedford assure you that a little more pressure and education will turn you into a trading diamond. Mindpower – Louise Bedford - Act As IfIf you act the way you want to feel your feelings will follow. Action precedes feeling.You want to be a better trader then do the things that fantastic traders do.You may not be a trading diamond yet but you are a wonderful piece of coal. A bit of extra pressure, education and focus then you will become the trader you are meant to be. Blueprint to Wealth - Gary StoneEverybody can be an investor.Everybody can beat EVERY active mutual fund.Everyone can retire on a large nest egg.But the active mutual funds industry doesn’t want you to believe that otherwise they lose money in fees. So they make it sound hard… they spread myths…they give incomplete information about your money and say you can’t manage it yourself.Gary Stone’s interview proves the exact opposite is true. You can manage your nest egg yourself and be millions of dollars better off when you retire.There are major 2 reasons Active Mutual Funds underperform:Fee FleecingDiversificationThese two aspects combined means over the term of your working life you are losing millions of dollars through the power of compounding. A 32 year old starting with $40 000 and planning to retire at 67 and contributing $6 000 per year will forfeit 53% of their nest egg or 1.5 million dollars through fees and diversification.Einstein said ‘The power of compounding was the 8th wonder of the world. And those who understand it earn it and those that don’t pay it.’Research repeatedly proves that the majority of mutual funds cannot match let alone beat the stock market indices over any period of time. Index Funds and ETF’s are the solution for the everyday investor and you don’t need to be a share trader.A long-term strategy taking 15 minutes every 3 months is enough to ensure you grow your nest egg.
