“Can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen” was purportedly said by US president Truman to the moaners in his team.

In this impromptu video blog, I chat to Chris Ludwig on the seeds of his success. Prior to this video blog, I had never met Chris before or knew how amazing he is. Chris was standing next to me in a long queue and we just got chatting. Five minutes into our chat, I just
Thanks for reading despite the lack of images, I’m currently on an island in Indonesia (here) and the Internet isn’t great. If you’re going to succeed in business, then you’re going to need to further your abilities. Educating yourself is the easiest way of increasing your value to others, and increasing the amount you can
A while back I was in overload mode walking around like a weird zombie (or is that my usual state?). During my Zombie-like state, I met Canadian property investor and realtor, John Mark Wilderspin. John is unique. He has so much information on how he became successful in property that he was like a fast
Yesterday, I had a fight with my girlfriend. Nothing major, but something she said really stuck out to me, she told me “You focus so much energy on personal development and no time on liking who you are”. This level of insight is one of the many reasons we’ve stayed together this long. After thinking about
One aspect of being successful that we emphasise at Five Years To Financial Freedom is to follow your passion. Laura Timm’s dream was to come to the UK and make it big. First in a job, then as an entrepreneur running her own businesses. You can imagine the types of challenges Laura had to face in just beginning
Small is beautiful I love small. Small is fantastic. There are two types of fantastic small. Starting small Looking after the small things. In this article, I want to focus on starting small because so many people ignore the basic concept of small. As a result of ignoring the small things, many people experience unnecessary
Okay, so I’ve just got off a plane from Spain – had two hours sleep and was dragged on pain of death by my good friend Frazer Grant to a UK JTFoxx event. Thinking about it, most of 2015 I was living on two to four hours sleep a day. Anyway, I have no clue how I
At Five Years To Financial Freedom, we have a lot of queries on how to make money fast and how to make large sums of money. However, we believe this should be the last question that people should ask us. Financial freedom is not just about finance, it is also about freedom. Just think how much
Hey readers! Thanks for all the private messages and Likes you’ve given us for parts one and two of our interview with Swedish property entrepreneur, and all-round hard worker, Daniel Wood. Many of you may not know this but Daniel Wood was not a university graduate. He was just a very hard working family guy who hopes
Overcoming finance and property team challenges Thank you all so much for all the great feedback we’ve already had from part one of this two part video. Due to the limited time of these short videos, we only had time to discuss Daniel’s phenomenal success climb. Part three is a non-video interview with Daniel which is
It’s funny how in a large environment certain people synchronise and vibe with each other. Daniel Wood and I first met at the JT Foxx family event in Orlando, and somehow connected in spite of my walking around in a sleepy daze. We subsequently met at a Tigrent (Legacy Education) property education course on how to
Ah paperwork! Why is it that such a vital part of running a business results in so much time-consuming busy work?! When I first started in the property game 20 years ago I had no idea how to properly manage my receipts, bank accounts, and insurance forms. I lost so much time going through stacks of
At five years to financial freedom, we like to publish articles and stories to inspire you, our fab readers (by the way thank you for all the love you’ve given us in the first two weeks of 2016). One authentic person I was privileged to meet (interview coming soon) at the JTFoxx family reunion was
I like it but I don’t like it “I don’t like it and I don’t like it. But I want to like it. When I get education I like it. But every time I like it, I don’t like it. So when I like it, I like it, but I don’t like it. And when
An interesting chap called Mike (not his true name) came to visit today. We discussed many aspects of life and business and who knows we may one day be business partners. As a reminder – before becoming a business partner with anyone, we want to have a healthy scepticism and so try to ascertain how
Last night I was walking along a crowded railway platform. Walking behind me was a lady who kept swinging her bag into my legs. I said, “there is no rush” but she kept banging her case on my legs and she kept on. I eventually let her get by and she walked a few metres in
At the JTFoxx reunion event 2015, we had several great talks from Damien Elston CEO of the JTFoxx empire, but one stood out to me in particular. Damien Elston’s thoughts on fear. One important aspect of business Damien felt was essential to move ahead in business is the matter of fear. I had never really thought
I just got an unexpected call, and am still reflecting back on the experience. Through years of difficult living conditions, family struggles, and racism something inside me changed and now I can never give up! Even when all seems hopeless I can’t stop looking for ways to achieve my goals, because I know that even if I
Every business I know has suffered when an ego got involved. Every single one. No exception. Either the business has gone under or the business has suffered a massive financial blow because of egos. In addition, when egos get involved, betrayals and other underhand behaviours surface. Behaviours such as a partner setting up another business
Watch out people, I’m about to drop a truth bomb! There is no such thing as the “rat race.” Everywhere I see people reluctantly talking about “joining the rat race” or saying things like “I really need to escape the rat race.” Even at wealth development seminars, and investing workshops, a whole bunch of us
If you’ve found yourself on this website, I’m willing to bet that you are the kind of person that has a lot of great ideas… and can never find a way to actually put then into action, you’re probably suffering from success paralysis. I love talking to people about their ideas, dreams, and goals. But after they’ve
A short rant from me this week on the use and abuse of affirmations. If you have not yet come across the psychology of affirmations, then very simply, it is any positive or negative statement that you make over and over. Here are some examples: I am useless at chores I’m very clever I’m not
The title cerebral palsy, paralysed, blind and successful reminds me of the song Pinball Wizard. The catchy line in Pinball Wizard is that deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball. “Pinball” in the context of this article is personal and financial success. In many of our articles, we share formulas, steps to
One wealthy lady, Dr. Niki Shuhada had this to say about the steps she took to reach her own success. From her business coaching experience, Dr Shuhada has found that these steps are actually essential habits that one should adopt to become successful.

Life can be monotonous. One reason I believe so firmly in helping you guys seek financial freedom is so your lives can be more VIBRANT. However for some, financial freedom isn’t what they need, what they really want is change. We’d like to buy better things, do more interesting projects, and have exciting adventures. The
I read Brian Tracy’s The Luck Factor when I was 12, one of his “universal laws” is the “law of attraction” which essentially states that anything you make your dominant thought will be attracted into your life. Being so young at the time I wholeheartedly accepted it into my life. Once I grew up a bit I
Not content with sharing all his incredible property knowledge, Ryan Windsor sat down with us once again. This time he tells us his own incredible journey to financial freedom, from dropping out of school at 16 without a penny to his name, to owning 11 properties and having a net worth of roughly £1,500,000. In
In the long distant past, in a location far far away, the following conversation occurred Attendee: “I’ve taken twelve different property courses. Which company do you think is the best one?” Me: “What do you mean?” Attendee: “Well I really like the speakers at XYZ company as I think they are quite polished.” Me: “Uhhh
Alright, I’m done. I’m finished. I can no longer be positive about reading personal development books. They are, by and large, terrible. How many times can I put myself through reading the same pieces of information chopped up and regurgitated into endless lists, faux-ancient “laws”, and new age spirituality? “Success” books are a fantastic way
“The gift of betrayal” part two is a supplement to part 1 so don’t read further until you’ve read The Gift of Betrayal Part I. “.. We live in a world of hypocrisy, where people greet you with a smile whilst holding a knife in your back, where people hide their true intentions to “survive,” and this life
