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. When I decided to invite Arnold Schwarzenegger to Australia, I really didn’t think it was ever going to happen. But one of Arnold’s rules is ‘Have a vision’, so I put that principle to work. …

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’.

When The Buggles recorded “Video Killed the Radio Star” in 1979 they couldn’t have possibly predicted how the Internet would create ‘video stars’ out of real estate agents in the 21st Century.
