I used to be a veterinary surgeon.

Most people don’t know this about me.

I worked as a rural vet and a city vet, in both New Zealand and in London, Surrey and Southhampton…

On our great big family adventure, recently we stopped in at my alma mater. Massey University, in Palmerston North, New Zealand…

So the kids could see where Dad learned all about helping animals…

Some of you will be wondering… “How the hell did he end up coaching REALTORS?”

My first answer is simple…

Because life is a great big giant adventure…


The truth is, it was at Veterinary school that I heard one of the best, most life-changing lectures of my life…

The person speaking was an ex-veterinarian who had become a political leader…

He simply said…

“Own your degree, don’t let your degree own you.”

In other words, all your training in life, your past jobs, your experiences, your successes and your failures…

These are simply tools, things you can use on this great big adventure, to do absolutely ANYTHING you want to do in life…

And that is what I have done…

I love all the things I have done in my life AND I absolutely love the work we are doing with REALTORS right now…

Life wants to be beautiful…

Let it be so...
