You know story. Everyone whinges about their job but they keep turning up year in, year out........ still whinging.......... Allways saying "I don't want to do this job for rest of my life"......blah blah blah ...... whinge whinge whinge.

It has turned into some weird Australian culture of entrapment.

Anyway, after talking to Bob I realised what it took to change. I had to educate myself. So off I went. I enrolled in a night course on PLC's (programmable logic controllers). Basically computer programs that run machinery.

What a waste of time that turned out to be. I got a piece of paper saying that I was qualified, but in actual fact I knew nothing about bloody things. I came out of that course more confused than when I started.

Oh well I'll chalk that one down to experience. So next I thought I'd enroll in university (part time at night) because my next door neighbor had done this course on adult education. I thought "If she can do it, so can I".

To cut a long story short this great adventure into academia lasted one whole semester. I dropped out of this course thinking that university teachers were a bunch of jumped up twerps that wouldn't know if their arse was on fire. And when they discovered it was on fire they would spend next ten years writing a thesis on "the discovery of anal self combustion".

I guess I was looking for something a little more practical.

I was at a mates place one night and after a few beers we started talking about future and what we were hoping to achieve. As a result of this conversation he pulls out this folder with some investment information in it and gives it to me to have a look at.

So I take it home and read through it and it talks about stock markets and real estate. I thought "this looks all right". Then I started looking around for courses on subject.

I soon found a number of these courses by so called guru's. I pondered for a while and thought bugger it I'll borrow some money ($5,000) and attend a couple. They really opened my eyes. This gave me a new focus. Now it was time to make some real money.

So that's how I got started. I made a decission to improve my situation and I took action. It took a couple of years before I even got on right track. At first I thought that you had to get an education through some form of college or university. Boy was I wrong.

The best form of education you can get is self education. Buy books and look at web sites. Find a mentor or like minded individuals. Don't re invent wheel. Find out what other people have done and copy their system.

So even if you don't have any money ta spare, go to library and borrow some books and make a start.

And that habbit is what will take you far.
