In this week’s episode of Talking Trading NLP Life Coach Rik Schnabel shares key mindset factors to create wealth beyond limits.Rik SchnabelWealth creation starts in the mind and in this interview we discuss the power of imagination, the law of expectation, the role of action and the power of passion.ImaginationImagination leads us to be wealthy when we embrace it. Einstein said “Imagination is more important than knowledge’, and Einstein himself used to imagine riding on a beam of light through space to help him uncover the theory of relativity.Law of ExpectationRalph Waldo Emerson said ‘Man becomes what he thinks about the most.’If we are going to become a multi millionaire we need to know how do they walk, talk, think, and act. One of the best questions you can ask yourself when you are starting out on the road to Wealth Creation is WHO? Who knows how to create incredible wealth and who is willing to mentor me?ACTIONCary Grant said ‘I acted like Cary Grant for so long that I became him.’A survey of the richest and most famous of celebrities found that every single one of them admitted to wanting more CONFIDENCE. We often spend our adult life building the confidence we lost as children and as adults we need to move ourselves into an I CAN PATTERN.PASSIONPassion starts out as a stranger before it becomes our best friend. Be brave enough to enter its castle, there may be dragons at the door, crocodiles in the moat, but get across and take a leap of faith to discover home.To find out more Rik, his NLP wisdom and his coaching services go to: www.lifebeyondlimits.com.au

Michael YardneyOn the BRW Rich 200 List, property was a major source of wealth for Australian multi-millionaires.Real Estate is an asset class that is stable and secure with long-term consistent capital growth in Australia. There are two major factors, which underpin growth of real estate in Australia:Population growth Wealth of the nationAustralia’s population is growing faster than any other Western nation. Our population is predicted to grow by 2% every year, which is twice as fast as the UK, USA and Canada. People in general want to live in the same four big cities around Australia and they all want to live in the same suburbs of these capital cities.The wealth of Australia is the second reason real estate is a stable long-term investment. Whilst Australia is an expensive country to live we are also one of the wealthiest in the world.In 10 years from now our cities will have grown, people will continue to trade backyards for balconies and gentrification of suburbs will continue. There is an old Chinese proverb:When is the best time to plant a tree? Twenty years ago. When is the second best time? Now.Also, the event of the year has arrived.Wealth Retreat is the ultimate mastermind networking conference for real estate investors, share traders and entrepreneurs.

When the tsunami in Japan almost wiped out Jeni White’s trading account she enrolled in the Mentor Program. In this week’s episode of Talking Trading we look at Jeni’s trading journey and how she realised what was possible. Louise Bedford also tells us her definition of financial freedom and the amount of confidence and security it gives her… and how all traders can feel like that too. Jeni WhiteJeni White gathered her trading float by sweating away in hothouses growing hydroponic tomatoes. She tried trading on her own and she was up in profit… but the tsunami in Japan caused destruction within her trading account and nearly wiped her out.She knew then it was time to do the Mentor Program.During the Mentor Program Jeni realised how much she could take control and she didn’t have to be at the whim of what came her way and she could “grab life by the nuts”.She could make it happen.Her biggest curve ball was when her beloved Grandfather died and left her money which doubled her trading float.It threw her into a spin.The fear of losing the money that he had given her was far worse than the thought of losing the money she had made. The Mentor Program opened a whole new world for Jeni where she is in charge of her financial future and looking forward to that golden bull equity market. Louise Bedford - MindpowerThe Solution Is TradingLouise Bedford’s definition of financial freedom is: If you took everything away from her she could recreate it from scratch, and the second time around she could do it faster, bigger and better.To Louise, having this knowledge, confidence and skills is the feeling of TRUE FREEDOM.Trading does that for you.You can have this feeling too.

Get ready to launch into space this week as Chris Tate shares his views on astronaut Chris Hadfield. Fresh from seeing Hadfield live on stage, Chris Tate shares why he admires this test pilot, turned astronaut, turned Commander in Chief of the International Space Station. Hear how what he learned in space can be applied to trading the markets. Put on your space undies and prepare to fly to orbital speed. Chris HadfieldWhen Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield dreamed of becoming an astronaut Canada didn’t even have a space program. Against enormous odds Hadfield rose from a being military pilot, a test pilot, a NASA astronaut, and then Commander in Chief of the International Space Station and the first Canadian to walk in space.By the time he landed back on earth from his last visit to space as Commander In Chief of the ISS he had orbited the planet 2336 times and traveled 62 million miles. Prior to astronaut Greg Kelly touching down to Earth last week, Hadfield had the record of the longest time in space of 146 days.He was in Australia recently promoting his book An Astronaut's Guide to Living on Earth, educating people about space as well what he had learned from his many years of preparation on earth.He said:"You see a funny thing happened on the way to space. I learned how to live better and more happily down here on earth."Chris Tate attended his talk and here are parallels between Hadfield’s success and the success of share traders who make real returns… and who also sometimes dream about wearing fancy space undies and walking in outer space.
