Business of the Future Now - Proven Recession Resilience.
Hi, I’m Alister & I’m a young 66-year-old still with Big Dreams and a desire to Control my Future.
It is interesting being back in lockdown. Now I have a bit of time to reflect on the past few years and contemplate how my “Future Self“ will look back on the next few years.
Looking back from today - in 2007/8 I was married and living a very belated OE in London. Seemed like a good idea at the time but the GFC changed that opportunity Big Time.
Arriving back in New Zealand with more debt than we had when leaving and no real direction I went on a downward spiral; jobs I did not enjoy, a very flat real estate market, a failed traditional business and a failed marriage. I felt drained and empty. My anxiety levels were high, I had no direction or idea how to get out of the mess I had created but through it all I still held a vision of a life of Abundance and Prosperity !
So, as we head into Spring, I would like to spread some hope and love which may be a little infectious. My finances are under control, I live a simple life with a lot of love and joy, I’m very grateful for what I have and for each and every day.
I did come across the right vehicle to take me on my journey towards a life of Abundance and Prosperity. With my new partner we are failing our way to success.
What is it about our vehicle to success? Firstly, it takes an investment of both time and money (very modest c.f traditional businesses) and also:
• Surrounding ourselves with like-minded people who will support, love and back you with a Win:Win philosophy
• Having the attitude of ‘yes, I can’ (I started with the end in mind)
• Success leaves clues following Leaders that have been there, done that. Follow daily activities for success
• Being willing to let go and to surrender “Hold on Tight to your Dream” leave the how and when to the Universe.
• Have an attitude of continuous improvement to quote Dr Wayne Dyer “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change".
Personal growth is a bit like showering - it needs to be done daily so said the late Jim Rohn.
People will say “I don’t have the money to start”
• Not many do however once you have decided to start use your entrepreneurial spirit and imagination to find the funds.
“Sounds like a Scam “
• With over 16 years of proven success operating globally within legislation backed by award winning personal development and wealth creation products delivered online which cost well in excess of $ 1 million to produce all assisting people to grow. Sounds legit to me.
Is this “too good to be true”
• Great question - there are hundreds of people who say this is So GOOD and SO TRUE. Training and business systems are world class. Our systems work. Do you have the will, energy and motivation to open yourself to learning new skills and developing your self?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
