Next Meeting Wednesday, May 25, 2005: Speaker- Dave Bradley

‘How to become a millionaire’

This was the title given to a DTI sponsored business development seminar I attended in our first year of trading as CragRats. Such an intriguing title, but would I learn the secret? In reality it was the most uninspiring seven hours of didactic lecturing. Even so I learned two of the most valuable lessons of my life!

The first lesson was an instant revelation , one ‘golden’ statement, which changed the way we approached business.

The second has been a gradual dawning over several years and, in truth, it is a far more powerful lesson.

I won’t be doing didactic and it won’t take seven hours to give you these insights.
