What Arnold Schwarzenegger Taught Me About Success
HAVING PERHAPS PULLED OFF THE greatest ‘coup’ in Australian real estate events, Glenn Twiddle reflects on the things he learned from the Hollywood superstar turned politician at this year’s QREAS conference.

Be Phenomenal or Be Forgotten
Clichés easily come out of speakers’ mouths, including mine. Living by those clichés is hard. We’ve all heard sayings like ‘Good is the Enemy of Great’ or my favourite, quoting one of my mentors, Eric Thomas: ‘Be phenomenal or be forgotten’.
