POWER

Saturday, July 21, 2012

I believe in the power that exists through the Law of attraction. I've had this book under my "to be bought list" for close to a year now... it got my attention when I read another book that was co-authored by Robert Greene called The 50th Law. Whilst reading that book I bumped into others who were reading the 48 laws of power who offered rave reviews! Just this morning while reading a blog post from Tim Ferriss author of The 4 Hour week (International Best Seller) which was all about PR & Marketing the expert they showcased had dropped out of college to be mentored as an apprentice by Robert Greene going on to produce world acclaimed marketing campaign's for companies like American Apparel. This was my trigger to hop on the net and hit "buy this book now!"

If the pursuit of power and influence matters to you and your future click on the link below and join me as we read this fascinating book unveiling the infamous laws! 



Find below a brief description

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distills three thousand years of the history of power in to forty-eight well explicated laws. As attention-grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers. 

Some laws teach the need for prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), the virtue of stealth ("Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions"), and many demand the total absence of mercy ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally"), but like it or not, all have applications in real life. 

Illustrated through the tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, P. T. Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded--or been victimized by--power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

Who is Frank Lowy?

I've heard the name being tossed around in the Media but until reading today's breaking news on the BRW website I was unaware he was the mogul behind the Westfield Group.

Feeling both impressed and slightly silly for not knowing such an enterprising businessman and the massive success he's achieved over his life.


In the article link below you will find how he's positioned as Australia's richest man beating media giant James Packer with a net worth of $5.04 Billion dollars.

THE BUCKET LIST

Sunday, March 7, 2010


(Poster - THE BUCKET LIST MOTION PICTURE)

This movie is one we should all watch, a message we should all live by and something we all must do before we die!

Corprate billionaire Edward Cole and working class mechanic Carter Chambers have nothing in common except for their terminal illnesses. While sharing a hospital room together, they decide to leave it and do all the things they have ever wanted to do before they die according to their bucket list. In the process, both of them heal each other, become unlikely friends, and ultimately find the joy in life. Written by r2k443

The quiet mechanic Carter Chambers is a man with a great general culture; has been married for forty-five years with his beloved wife Virginia and has two sons - one lawyer the other engineer - and a violinist daughter. The caustic and bitter billionaire Edward Cole owns many hospitals, has many divorces and one missing daughter. Following the policy of Edward, his hospital makes no exception giving a private room to him and he shares the same room as Carter. Along the days, they become close to each other and when Edward finds in the garbage the bucket list that Carter had prepared, listing all he wanted to do before dying, he includes his own items and invites Carter to a journey of friendship, discoveries and redemption. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Edward (a rich man) meets Carter, when they in hospital. They both live different lifestyles, but become friends when they bond because of their common terminal illnesses. They later come together to make a list of things they want to do before they: "kick the bucket" (a positive list, which makes life better). They both start to make changes in life, where they both learn from each other. Written by Jen Whitham

THE TRUMP EMPIRE

Saturday, December 5, 2009














Donald J. Trump has become the most recognized businessman in the world, and the Trump brand is readily acknowledged as representing the gold standard around the globe. As the pre-eminent developer of quality real estate, his acumen is unrivaled, and the diversity of his interests has set a new paradigm in the world of business. His commitment to excellence is legendary, and his work as a philanthropist is an integral part of his ethos. He is the archetypal businessman, and an icon of New York.

See Mr. Trump's biography below for a more complete history, or visit the Trump Blog for valuable business insights and a great variety of commentary from real estate to politics.

This mad has truly been a big influence and part of my business life, he aspire's and pushes you through his experience and stories after reading few of his books you will soon realize what I mean. Many friends dub me as a and I quote "The next Indian Donald Trump" none the less, i have my own vision and ideas for the future which I believe will surely make a statement in the world.

Welcome to the world of Trump website for all the information about Donald J Trump and his organizations and university.

DONALD J TRUMP BIOGRAPHY

Donald J. Trump started his business career in an office he shared with his father, Fred, in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York. He worked with his father for five years, where they were busy making deals together. Mr. Trump has stated, “My father was my mentor and I learned a tremendous amount about every aspect of the construction industry from him.” Likewise, Fred C. Trump often stated that “some of my best deals were made by my son, Donald….everything he touches turns to gold.” Mr. Trump then entered the very different world of Manhattan real estate.

In New York City, the Trump signature is synonymous with the most prestigious of addresses. Among them are the world-renowned Fifth Avenue skyscraper, Trump Tower. Luxury residential buildings include Trump World Tower at the United Nations Plaza, Trump Park Avenue at 59th Street and Park Avenue, Trump Place on the Hudson River, and Trump Palace. In 1997, Trump International Hotel & Tower opened its doors to the world, a 52-story super luxury hotel and residential building designed by the famed architect Philip Johnson. The property is one of only three in the country to have received a double Mobil Five-Star rating for both the hotel and its restaurant, Jean- Georges. In 2008, the 92-story Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago opened and was touted by Condé Nast Traveler as the “hottest new hotel in North America.” The Trump Hotel Collection has projects going up around the world and met with tremendous success.

Mr. Trump is also known as a world-class golf course developer, with award-winning courses in New York, New Jersey, Los Angeles (Trump National Golf Clubs), Palm Beach (Trump International Golf Club), Canouan Island in the Grenadines and one in development in Aberdeen, Scotland (Trump International Golf Links) as well as Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Mr. Trump is an avid golfer and his passion is evident in the spectacular courses he has developed and continues to develop worldwide. His latest acquisitions are Trump National Golf Club/Colts Neck, N.J, and Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C. which fronts the Potomac River for three miles.

As an accomplished and best selling author, Mr. Trump has had numerous best sellers including The Art of the Deal, which is considered a business classic, The Art of the Comeback, The America We Deserve, How To Get Rich, Think Like a Billionaire, Trump 101, Why We Want You To Be Rich, Think Big, Never Give Up, and Think Like a Champion.

In a departure from his real estate acquisitions, Mr. Trump and the NBC Television Network are partners in the ownership and broadcast rights for the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA Pageants. In January of 2004, Mr. Trump joined forces with Mark Burnett Productions and NBC to produce and star in the television reality show, The Apprentice. The show quickly became #1 on television and is currently in its eighth season. Mr. Trump’s production company, Trump Productions, is based in Los Angeles. Mr. Trump also had a successful radio program on Clear Channel for several years.

Donald J. Trump is the very definition of the American success story. He has continually set new standards of excellence while expanding his interests nationally and internationally. Mr. Trump is personally involved in everything that his name represents. This commitment has made him the pre-eminent developer of quality real estate known around the world, and in all his endeavors the Trump gold standard is apparent. He is the archetypal businessman—a deal maker without peer and an ardent philanthropist.

QUOTE OF THE DAY


There should be no age limits placed upon ambition, alertness, creativeness, or in fact on anything that may mark the mental or spiritual progress of any human being...There is an old saying, nothing ventured nothing gained. Obviously true, but on the other hand, even though many of our ventures come to no profitable end, the very fact that we ventured should be to our credit. People who stand still, or just watch from the sidelines of life, only partly live. To venture, and only to get fun out of it, has a constructive angle to it, Keep venturing and you’ll never grow dull!

George Matthew Adams

MAN OF THE HOUR - Reuben Buchanan

Sunday, November 29, 2009

I have been lucky enough to have heard Reuben speak at few events, he is someone who is destined for great success and is the key person I recommend you to source out in your local network (Sydney) in order to pursue many dreams that you may have..

Definitely an individual I recommend you to speak to before you tackle your next big venture


At age 20, Reuben joined listed developer Peter Kurts (now FKP) as an investment consultant where he specialised in investor presentations and project marketing.


A few years later, Reuben became involved in the stockmarket as a lecturer on Technical Analysis in Auckland NZ and also Sydney. At the time he was a member of the ATAA (Australian Technical Analysis Association) and was also a full time trader on the ASX and NZX.


WEALTH CREATOR www.wealthcreator.com.au

Reuben then decided to start a business, and an investment magazine sounded like a good idea. Because of his background in property, shares and general investment experience, a magazine that focused on wealth creation seemed to be a niche that had not been filled in Australia.

Wealth Creator Magazine kicked off in 2001 as a bi-monthly business and investment publication sold throughout Australia and New Zealand through 5,000 newsagents. Reuben gained valuable marketing and media experience by working across all areas of the business including editor, publisher, sales, marketing and publicity. Today, Wealth Creator remains one of the leading business/investment titles in Australia and enjoys a readership of around 60,000 per issue.


In November 2003, Wealth Creator Publishing was recognised by the ABSP (Australian Business and Specialist Publishers Association) Bell Awards as the Highly Commended Small Publisher of the Year. Reuben was also appointed to the board of the ABSP, which represents over 700 consumer titles in Australia.


Through the magazine, Reuben met and interviewed some of the most successful entrepreneurs and business leaders in the world including:

Gerry Harvey, Richard Branson, Brian Tracy, Robert Kiyosaki, John Ilhan,Janine Allis, Siimon Reynolds, Alan Jones, Graham Turner, Justin Herald, Rene Rivkin, Anthony Mundine, John McGrath and many more.

In all he interviewed over 200 self-made entrepreneurs worth in excess of $10 billion.


Line extensions from the Wealth Creator brand were developed into other areas of the financial media space. These included:


Wealth Creator TV Show

A 10 part series that profiled leading entrepreneurs and industry experts. The series aired nationally on Foxtel and Austar throughout 2005. As well as being the executive producer of the show, Reuben attained sponsorship funding and hosted each episode. The show was aired on Foxtel/Austar. Sponsors included Doncaster BMW, Dodo Internet, Onyx Finance, Trading Edge, Lamborghini Australia and Moet Hennesy.


Wealth Creator Radio Show

This weekly radio show was run by small business expert Gary Janson. It aired each week on Sydney radio station 2RDJ FM featuring live interviews with many of the entrepreneurs who appeared in the magazine. The show was then digitally recorded and made available on the website to download.


WealthNet Club

In 2003, Wealth Club Media was launched as a subsidary of Wealth Creator which ran parallel to the magazine business. Through this company a national business networking club called WealthNet Club started in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Within 12 months, it became the largest club of its kind in Australia, with over 7,000 people attending.


Entrepreneurs Course

Wealth Club Media also created the Entrepreneurs Course – a two day course that taught the keys to entrepreneurship. The course featured multiple speakers, each experts in areas that relate to entrepreneurship including accounting, legals, IP, franchising, marketing, capital raising and psychology.


Wealth Creator Books

As a natural parallel to the magazine, WealthCreatorBooks.com.au was established as a joint venture with Exa Business Technology.


Australia’s Wealth Creators Book

This book was compiled by Jonathan Jackson and Reuben Buchanan from the raw interview transcriptions of the first two years of Wealth Creator magazine. The book edited by Jonathan Jackson and published by Wright Books and is available in bookstores throughout Australia.

For more info, click here


HLF (Health, Lifestyle & Fitness) magazine

In 2003, the Wealth Creator Group created HLF Magazine aimed at men and women who were interested in general fitness and lifestyle issues. Editor Jonathan Jackson drew on his many years of experience at Blitz Publications to create a balanced publication that was well received by its readers.

The magazine is no longer published but an article can be read here


Profile

Reuben has done interviews and been profiled by other publications including BT Weekly, Ad News, Publish Magazine and Leadership magazine. Ive also featured on a CPA DVD titled Lets Start a Business, spoken at leadership conferences, RMIT University Entrepreneurship Division, Sydney University (guest speaker) and Australian Institute of Management (entrepreneurship panel).


Exit

In early 2005, the Wealth Creator Group was sold to WCM Capital Pty Ltd. Reuben continued to run the business as CEO before stepping down in August 2005 to pursue other opportunities.


Soon after he took up a presenting role with Channel 7 on a show called Melbourne Weekender, a 13 part series that aired Saturday’s at 5.30pm. Reuben hosted the money segment which focused on business, investment and finance issues that relate to Melbourne. Each show was watched by over 200,000 Victorian’s, making it one of the most popular programs on the weekend.


The 2006 season of Melbourne Weekender commenced on the 5th August at 5.30pm on Seven with the series ending in November.


INTEGRAL CAPITAL GROUP http://www.integalcapital.com.au/


In 2006, Reuben joined Integral Capital Group as a corporate advisory specialising in capital raising and advising clients on becoming investor ready.


Since relocating to Sydney, he has worked with many clients which can be found on Integral Capital's website under the Transactions secion.


WHOLESALE INVESTOR http://www.wholesaleinvestor.com.au/

Reuben is the co-founder and co-owner of Wholesale Investor, a magazine and website which connects private companies who are seeking capital or trade sale, with private investors or acquirers. This is a much needed service within Australia as there is little info or places companies can go to promote their opportunities or to sell their company if they are medium to large businesses.


THINK BIG MAGAZINE http://www.thinkbigmagazine.com/

Reuben is also a director and shareholder in Think Big magazine, which launched in April 2008 with a distribution of over 80,000 making it the largest personal development and success magazine in Australia. Also involved is Ken Wood and Karen Corban, owners of Universal Events, Australia's largest personal development company. Michael Walls is also a director, shareholder and publisher. Think Big is a specialist magazine focused on personal development, success and empowerment.


TELDAR MEDIA www.teldar.com.au

Reuben is the owner of Teldar Media Pty Ltd, a niche media company that specialises in education for business owners and entrepreneurs.

In 2008, Teldar Media currently runs the following events:

  • Building Wealth Through Business (2 hr seminar)
  • Rich Business Workshop (2 day workshop)
  • Rich Business Summit (2 day advanced workshop)
  • Get Into Business Seminar (three hr seminar)
  • Capital Raising Conference (2 day event)
  • Acquisitions Workshop (1 day event)

More information about these events can be found on the websitewww.teldar.com.au
