Get yourself sorted.

Get out of survival and status type mode.

Start looking around.

What things do you really care about?

What do you believe in?

What are your values?

How can you make a difference?

And use those abilities and resources that you have to go beyond what you're currently doing.

So for me here, okay,

Is it better for me to chuck 50K into a term deposit?

Or is it better to use my financial resource here to help in a small way for these guys to have a crack to help thousands and tens of thousands, hopefully hundreds of thousands of people in New Zealand automate some wealth building?

That's a pretty simple answer, isn't it?

You might not be in the position to do that, but it's the same thing with volunteering, mentoring, helping out, picking up some rubbish off the ground, not being a dick, whatever.

It's the same principle and it's the same concept.

And if we want to bang on in New Zealand about how we need to be backing small businesses and business people and entrepreneurs and people having a crack, well...

We've got to put our money where our mouth is eventually, right?

And hey, you know, not saying that I'm the leading role model of the country doing it with 50K, but, you know, if I want to talk like that too, I probably got to walk the walk a little bit.

So this is my first foray, I think, I learned a new word, foray, F-O-R-A-Y.

Shit, I should check the spelling, foray.

It's like your first sort of dabble in something, first attempt.
