National Achievers Conference
Gavin Scholes, CEO of 1300 Australia recently had the privilege of attending the National Achievers Conference in Melbourne and would like to share with you some highlights of the event. The conference was pitched towards entrepreneurs and like-minded people. The main reason for his attendance was to listen to three main speakers:
1. Anthony Robbins – I have been a fan of Anthony for 25 years. I credit him and his books for giving me the energy and direction to get my business life on track when I was in my late twenties. Robbins isn’t a motivator; he is a life coach who spends his time working with the who’s who of business and sport around the world. He is an outstanding presenter and seems from the outside to be a very happy and well balanced guy. Anthony spoke for 5 hours and not once was I distracted, I hung on every word.
2. Robert Kiyosaki – was the second guy I wanted to hear. Robert wrote the bestselling novel Rich Dad, Poor Dad one of the worlds all time, bestselling personal performance books. The book sold 38 million copies, an amazing feet.
3. Donald Trump- what can I say about this guy? He was $90 million in debt at the height of the stock market crash in the late 80’s. Unlike most people, he never went bankrupt and found a way somehow to not only repay the debt, but move on to be in the top ten richest people on the planet. Seriously you could listen to Trump talk all day long and surprisingly, he is very funny.
The balance of speakers over the three days were from a myriad of successful backgrounds. This re-opened Gavin's mind to quite a few things and certainly stimulated some thinking.
