When is the last time you did something that stretched you?

Something that made you feel uncomfortable. 

Out of your depth. 😱 

The reason I ask is that growth lives on the other side of comfort. 

I'm inviting you to MOVE UP in life and business this year.

Give yourself permission to shine ✨ 

Three examples...

1. Personal development has always been important to me, which is why I have been investing in it for decades. A few months ago, I went to an exclusive event in Sydney to learn from and network with high net worth individuals including billionaires. There were two ticket classes: general admission and VIP. I upgraded to the latter because it would open up more doors.
2. Late last year, I purchased a Business Class ticket for myself for the first time. It cost me nearly four times as much as Economy. My analytical thinking was looking for reasons to prevent me from moving up, but I did it anyway. As a result, not only did I enjoy a different experience, I also raised my expecta

This is my last blog for 2024.

We better make it count.

More importantly, as my podcast guest mentions, there are 3 core skills to it:

1. How to make money 💰

Until then, let's learn more about Money Mastery with Marshy.

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.

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