agent 007, are you after a personal development programm or information on how to do something? i had gone to listen to Roy Mcdonald, a long time ago though. My opinion - it was a waste of time, too much hipe on personal development and no substance. except i got a reference to a couple...

Mike, like-minded for me means not only someone who has same interests but most importanly someone who has same values and believes. as for dealing with like-minded people - if we are talking business/property/investment deals, i would try and do as much as i can to check their credibility...

i am just glad Sunstone started this thread! thank you i strongly believe in surrounding myself with likeminded people and always seek to learn/listen. m an immigrant from a former communist country, i had to find people with "prosperity" psychology to interact with or succumb to...

geoff, very good point to raise by posting this article! another point related to land taxes is calculating the true net return on investment. i actually wonder what proportion of all property investors know exactly what their costs are? a few people i spoke to don't even account for...

Stephen, the next best thing after recommendations is a bookstore (if you have time to spare). the way i find good books (most of the time) is go to borders store and look thru relevant sections. i spend time reading the contents of the book, about the author and (if i have time) skim read...
