When is the last time you did something for YOU?

Let's face it:

We tend to keep ourselves really busy.

We juggle multiple things.

We try to be a great leader, team mate, spouse, parent, sibling, entrepreneur, etc.

Our focus often is on other people and things to do.

We spend a lot of time OUTSIDE and sometimes forget to look after the INSIDE.

We're IN the woods. Not hovering above the woods.

It's a good idea to give space and time to yourself.

No one else will do it for you.

Therefore: invest time, money and effort in YOU.

We are on a mission to help 2 billion people with business, professional, personal and financial growth. 

One way of us doing so is by granting FREE access to the Success Community. 

The benefits are multifold: 

1. Live Classes
2. Challenges
3. Q&A sessions
4. Resources/Downloads
5. Energize with Bram Podcast

All readily available from your desktop or mobile app 24/7.

If you haven't done so yet, join the Success Community today

See you inside :)

I recorded a 1-minute video to share an important change in the economy that has occurred that you want to be on top of.

If you don't, it will hurt your career, business and income. 👿 😭

If you do, happy days 😃 🎉 

Watch it now and tell me what you think?

Going into Christmas and the festive season, there will be moments of joy and moments of challenge. The thing is: as we spend more time with family and friends, somebody may press your buttons. It's not what happens to you, but how you deal with it, that defines the quality of your life. 

In this video, my wife Andrea and I share strategies that we apply to manage our emotions. We share how we train our brain to think a certain way, and how we align ourselves with the four pillars of great healers and leaders: 

Gratitude + Love + Certainty + Presence.

Let us know your thoughts...

We wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

I'm about to give you the keys to two invaluable assets.

These assets work like a laser scan.

They show you exactly where you are at, and where you could be.

Think about it for a moment...

Your success in business development / sales depends on 3 key growth areas:

• Mindset
• Skills
• System

The stronger you score, the more successful you will be in growing your business.

But what about the weak areas? 

Wouldn't you want to know them and find out what to do about them?

Here's why:

In business development, having the right insights can lead to more clients. You find ways to work smarter - not harder.

As a salesperson, strong scores have the potential to skyrocket your sales.

In full transparency:

Access to our Scorecards is 100% free, it takes only 3 minutes to complete and both provide 4 practical, actionable steps for you to take your success to the next level.

This is such an interesting question, especially now that talent is scarce and companies are all fighting for the same people.

Nicole Swaine from Explore Potential has an interesting perspective, which I thank her for sharing.

Instead of keep trying to attract established people and getting nowhere, why not hire young people for attitude, personal flair, and values so that you attract a great fit for your company and culture? You can then "mold" them and equip them with the right training, coaching and systems so that you set people up for success right from the get go.

While there are good reasons why you'd hire an experienced person, there certainly are many benefits of giving motivated, self starters an opportunity to grow with your business.

It's been a while in the making...

Tuesday 1st November 2022, we moved into our new offices. It took us 2 weeks to modernise and deck it out. Some pieces of furniture are still on their way.

Dare I say so myself: the place looks AMAZING!!

One of the walls is painted in Aztec gold with the words "Think BIG" attached. We had the sign hand made in Portugal.

Another wall has a feature showing a lush green Scandinavian forest. It brings peace and relaxation to the workplace all the way from Sweden.

The idea is to have room to grow our team and share the space with Members as part of "Think BIG Coworking" - a new business we started with my wife Andrea managing it.

We have 10 hot desks in an open plan environment, 10 permanent workstations across three offices, a separate meeting room, and a well appointed kitchen with bar table and stools.

For people that are just looking for a prestigious business address, we have them covered as well. 

Set in the heart of Walkerville on Adelaide's...

I'm keeping you in the know...

Good news!

 A new chapter has started. Exciting times ahead.

You know how we sometimes get stuck in the same old, same old?

Well, I recognised that I got stuck and way too comfortable, and did something about it.

Yesterday is symbolic in many ways. 

1. I signed a lease for new commercial premises after I vacated the previous ones several years ago. I'm exchanging comfy track pants and my home office for professional attire and a business environment again.
2. The team is expanding. My wife left her corporate job after 5 years and comes onboard with me. Yes, after being together for 9 years, we still like each other 😃 
3. We created a new company dedicated to our property ventures in two areas: land subdivisions and co-working space. Our new office is too big for us, so we will make permanent desks, hot desk and a few offices available to others.
4. An interesting name we came up with... But more on that another time.
5. Marketing then... I've engaged a 'SWA...

This is an interesting question.

The answer all depends on who you ask.

Let me clarify this for you by means of three examples.

1. For most people, a 'normal' garage is large enough to accomodate 2 cars. For others, it's 4 cars. For even less people, it's a man cave that counts 8 collectors items and they are beautifully displayed.
2. Equally, for most people, a 'normal' house counts 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2 living areas on an overall footprint of 240 square meters with a comfortable garden. In contrast, for other people, a 'normal' house is the size of a mansion with a nice long drive way, a maze to get lost in, beautifully landscaped gardens and of course a swimming pool and tennis court.
3. And finally, most people think about 'normal' traveling as doing so in economy to save money. However, there are people that consider business or first class as the new normal. Even less people travel in any other way than by private jet.

It all depends on your vision, mindset, beliefs and...

Okay. We're back from "The Edge" retreat for entrepreneurs which we hosted in sunny Cairns in Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺. 

Earlier this year, we surveyed our network of business owners and it was evident that people were yearning for immersive networking and learning while enjoying a 'work-holiday' somewhere else.

We made it happen and took a calculated risk with a new event that brought fresh content as a conversation starter centred around a bold topic such as exponential growth.

"What will it take for your business to grow exponentially in the months and years ahead?"

"Who do you have to become as a leader?"

Questions like these kept us busy...

Instead of the retreat being set up as a seminar or conference, we learned that people value peer-to-peer learning and a safe environment with robust debates in which fellow entrepreneurs challenge each other and bounce ideas of each other.

So my role became that of facilitator and fellow participant. (thank you, guys!)

I have to confes...
