In 2011, my book How to Retire in 12 Months came out in Australasia. It is a motivational business book that focuses on the art of blogging as a means of creating an income. Blogging is not for everyone, however, and I have many clients who are looking for alternative options for retiring, creating their dream lifestyle, or achieving important goals they are afraid to embark upon.

This sequel, How to Succeed in 12 Months: Creating a Life You Love, is designed to enable you to achieve all your big dreams. Whether you want to travel the world, start a business, make a difference or change the way you live your life, this book is for you.

The strategy behind my success (and yours) is based around acting on the big goals and dreams that many people ignore. It is taking action that will enable you to achieve the things that are important to you.

The book is designed to share what I learned through hard work, luck and dogged persistence. I have a passion for making complex, seemingly impossible ideas and dreams achievable, and I am thrilled to share what I have learned with you.
