THE WORLD YOU LIVE IN TODAY WILL MOST LIKELY NOT BE THE

SAME WHEN YOU GET MARRIED, HAVE KIDS, HAVE GRANDKIDS,

BUY YOUR FIRST HOME…….

DON’T OBSESS ABOUT HAVING A PLAN

EVERYBODY HAS A PLAN….UNTIL

THEY GET HIT“

MIKE TYSON

THERE WAS NO PLAN BUT THERE

WAS A DIRECTION

I FOUND AN OPPORTUNITY THAT MATCHED MY DIRECTION

WHEN OPPORTUNITY AND DIRECTION MEET

PLANS FEEL GREAT BECAUSE THEY CREATE A SENSE OF CONTROL

OPTIMISE YOUR LIFE FOR GROWTH NOT

SECURITY

THE THINGS YOU OWN END UP OWNING YOU

AN OVER RELIANCE ON MONEY AND POSSESSIONS FORCES YOU TO

MAKE PLANS THAT MAINTAIN SECURITY, NOT ENCOURAGE GROWTH OR REINVENTION

ANYONE WHO STOPS LEARNING IS OLD, WHETHER

AT TWENTY OR EIGHTY. ANYONE WHO KEEPS

LEARNING STAYS YOUNG.

“HENY FORD

TO SUCCEED IN THE FUTURE OF WORK YOU MUST

NEVER STOP LEARNING

WORK IS NO LONGER JUST WORK. IT IS ABOUT MEANING

SOME OF YOU MAY BE THINKING RIGHT NOW…. ALL I WANT IS A JOB. JUST

GIVE ME A JOB!

OUR GENERATION IS THE LEAST LIKELY TO JUST

WORK A JOB… YOU WANT MORE THEN JUST A SALARY

62% OF MILLENNIALS IN THE US ARE MORE LIKELY TO SEARCH

OUT WORK THAT HAS A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE WORLD

TO FIND MEANING, MILLENNIALS ARE BUILDING

THEIR OWN FUTURES

THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THE BUILDERS

BUILDING YOUR OWN FUTURE HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER

PEOPLE ARE BUILDING THEIR OWN FUTURE VIA FREELANCING

34% OF THE AMERICAN

WORKFORCE FREELANCE 53M FREELANCERS

FREELANCERS ARE ADDING $715

BILLION ANNUALLY TO THE AMERICAN

ECONOMY

APPROXIMATELY 32% OF THE AUSTRALIAN

WORKFORCE ARE FREELANCERS

SOURCE - FREELANCING IN AMERICA REPORT 2014

FREELANCERS ARE ADDING $51

BILLION ANNUALLY TO THE AUSTRALIAN

ECONOMY

THERE ARE PLATFORMS DEDICATED TO HELPING YOU RUN YOUR OWN ENTERPRISE

YOUR #1 QUESTION SHOULD NOT BE

HOW DO I GET EMPLOYED?

YOUR #1 QUESTION SHOULD BE

HOW DO I BUILD SOMETHING?

IN 2014 A STUDY BY THE EWING MARION KAUFFMAN FOUNDATION

FOUND THE AVERAGE COST OF STARTING A NEW BUSINESS FROM

SCRATCH WAS $30,000.

ANY GUESSES HOW MUCH IT COST TO

START BROSA?

KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO START IS EVERYWHERE

WE AREN’T ALL CALLED TO BE BUSINESS OWNERRS

BUT WE CAN ALL BE BUILDERS, NOT MERELY CONSUMERS

ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS NEITHER A SCIENCE NOR AN ART. IT IS A PRACTICE“

PETER DRUCKER

BE AMBITIOUS

THE SIZE OF OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO YOU ARE AT LEAST 5X LARGER THAN WHAT

YOU SEE RIGHT NOW

THIS IS JUST ONE SMALL PART OF THE INTERNET

THIS IS THE POTENTIAL OF THE INTERNET

IT IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WORLD

DON’T BE AFRAID TO TAKE RISKS AND TAKE THEM OFTEN

MY ADVENTURE IN TAKING A RISK

PLAY THE LONG GAME BE PATIENT

DO OR DO NOT. THERE IS

NO TRY “

YODA, MASTER JEDI

THE BEST WAY TO PREDICT THE FUTURE

IS TO CREATE IT“

PETER DRUCKER

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT BE AMBITIOUS

BE GREAT
