CREATING WEALTH 4 SUCCESS

In my last post about positive mindset, I outlined the basics of what mindset means to me. In the next few posts I will introduce you to some of the people and books which have contributed to my own positive mindset and assisted me in getting started with my wealth creation strategies.

Tony Christiansen

In this post, I’ll introduce you to an extraordinary man who epitomises positive mindset in action.
If you have ever seen or heard a talk by Tony Christiansen, then you are unlikely to ever forget the experience. He is extremely funny, modest, self-effacing, informative and open. He has achieved more in his life than most people ever will;

• Successful Businessman
• Race Car Champion
• Triple Olympic Gold Medallist
• 2nd Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do
• Motivational Speaker
• Mountain Climber
• Surf Lifesaver
• Best Selling Author
• Qualified Pilot
• Qualified Scuba Diver

He appears to have no fear, no hang ups and he refuses to acknowledge the words ‘can’t’ and ‘won’t’.
You may be thinking that these are praiseworthy attributes and indeed they are, but the really inspiring thing about New Zealander Tony Christiansen is that he has achieved all these things despite having no legs.

Tony Christiansen on Youtube

Here’s a short Youtube clip so you can see for yourself how inspiring this man is;

Tony Christiansen has many inspirational quotes it seems, but the one that I feel sums him up best is:

“Don’t let people take your dreams away, life is for living, it’s full of passion. Believe that success is going to come to us because one of the challenges we face in life is just the belief in success”.

What better quote to remember and apply on the path to creating wealth for success.
