The regular contributor to magazines such as Australian Property Investor and Your Property Investment describes every step along the way before and after that fateful night, including the chance meeting with a client-turned-mentor that catapulted him to where he is today.Despite the bumps in the road, Andersen has emerged triumphantly every time to build the empire he thought impossible. He delves into how having passion for what you do really does make all the difference— not just to your happiness but also to the overall trajectory of your life. Even with less than 5 cents to your name, Andersen is proof sometimes all it takes is one person to see that spark within you to get that entrepreneurial fire blazing. Hosted on Acast.
