Route to Savvyness

While searching the net in August last year about wealthy men in Australia and how to become one, I found this website of 21st Century Academy, www.21stcenturyacademy.com. This website made a big impact on mu outlook about money, employment, business, investment and life. Although I'm a fan of Robert Kiosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and Warren Buffet, currently the richest man in the world, I still became fascinated by the story of this young Australian guy who managed to raise himself up from being broke with $150K debt to being a multi-millionaire in just a couple of years. His name is Jamie McIntyre.

At first ,I thought this website might be another get rich quick scheme like some scams on the net. But because I was really that curious about the ways to be rich, I still went on to his site and read his story and some of his financial strategies.

I found out that his ways to financial freedom is not really different to what I've read on some How to Become rich books. The principles are still the same. You have to be involved in Business, Properties or Shares in order for you to be wealthy. What interest me in his teachings was that he explained most of his strategies in Australian setup. As an Australian Migrant who aspires to be rich one day, it is but right to listen to successful people who made it too in Australia, Isn't it?

He also tackled good questions like If Australia is considered to be one of the wealthiest nation in the world and why 90% of its people are not rich? Why working 40 years of your life and relying just on your superannuation upon retirement is not a good plan and Why working smart not hard is the better way in the 21st century and etc... It also struck me when he said that with internet and faster communications being available, wealth can also be accumulated rapidly and transferred than ever before. This means that even new migrants like us can be wealthy too and get the dreams we always wanted.

Though I have not applied 95% of his teachings, I hope this blog would be the start. That someday, I may also be known to many readers and to many advertisers as well but most importantly be able to share what I knew and have learned to help other aspiring to be rich person like me.
