Dear Mr. who cares good 4u,

I haven't even got close to the big time here "down under", but I enjoy my life style.

I have Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. I start consulting at 3pm on Tuesdays and finish at 5:30pm. Every Thursday I start at 3:30pm and finish at 7pm. So yes... I live a good life.

Income...
Your words in your post suggest you do not own a practice yet. One of my practices earns me a salary of just over 80k after all expenses... wages, staff, business loans, rent and all other expenses. I pay tax on this, NOT the amount it grosses. As a business owner many expenses can be claimed as business expenses (refer to Robert Kiyosaki's "Cashflow Quadrant" and "Rich Dad' Poor Dad"). This will help to explain things more clearly than I can in one post.

My practice provides all Podiatry services, is 75% biomechanics and performs nail surgery only. The guy down the road is a Podiatric surgeon... that's all he does so the scope of Podiatry here in Australia is quite broad. We can do anything we like below the knee.

I understand your loans can appear overwhelming when you first graduate.

I have learnt a great deal from successful Americans and can only express my appreciation towards them. I don't make the rules of success, I just try to observe them and whenever possible copy them. People like Michael Gerber, Blair Singer, Robert Kiyosaki, Tony Robbins, John Burley, Henry Ford, Dale Carnegie,etc. etc. They all share the secrets. Unfortunately, some people just aren't ready to move to the next level and don't apply the rules for success. There are also those that do without even knowing it. I chose a mentor then "When the going got tough", well... you know the rest.

I only hope you achieve success in all you choose to do.

Good luck and best wishes.

Gavin
