This one is a bit harder to start. Despite what I write about and the intention to educate [you] the reader about value of financial education and literacy, it has to be honestly said that what I promote comes from sources before me. Just like the skillset I promote in teaching for profit. What I know – I learnt from someone else.

To that end, I tend to keep my ear relatively close to the ground when it comes to learning what some of the ‘bigger’ players out there do when it comes to their money, lifestyles and success. After all, learning from those before us, is the ultimate shortcut, and education right?
