Who The Heck Am I & How Did I End Up In The Top 1% of Super Forecasters...

It was the early 1980's...

I was fortunate enough to have a wise and rich uncle who in the early 1980's told me my future. He told me I was going to have a fantastic life, make many millions, and that I would help a lot of people. For some reason I knew he was right. 

In the 1980's a couple of years later I trained as a Cabinet Maker, mainly through my Mum's insistence.  It was a three year apprenticeship and, most of the time, it bored me to death. I wanted to leave and go and figure something else out.

But Mum threatened to kick me out of the house if I didn't first get a trade by finishing the apprenticeship. She was worried I was going to go off and do mad things and she wanted to know that when I fell down I always had the trade to go back to.

My time spent there was not for me, it was what my Mum thought was best. Turned out she was right, just not for the reasons she intended. I learnt Cabinet Making and got really good at it. If someone was a machine operator I wanted to be able to do his job better than him. If someone was fast, I wanted to be faster than him. The time was boring, so I had to make a game of it. I like games and I'm good at games. So I saw everything I had to do there as a challenge to be done faster, to a higher quality, and in a more efficient way than the experts could do it who had been there all their lives.

This was great until the Union noticed and basically told me to slow down or else.

I had to do something to keep my mind active. Just after my apprenticeship ended I used the skills I learnt there to move on to a new company. I went to work for piecework in a factory a fair distance away. It was much smaller than the company I worked for before. I think there were around 50 people in the factory.

I took the job because they were going to pay me for what I produced rather than just get paid an hourly rate.

Within two weeks of being there, I was the highest paid person in the company. Within eight weeks of being there I was producing 48% of the company's output. I had deployed my production techniques and skill and I was now being adequately compensated for my time.

As you can imagine, earning six to ten times what the people around me were earning made me a lovable person to others in the company…not! So my time there was brief. I used my skills and now my reputation for being the fastest and the best to move into a highly paid business as a window installer.

During this time, I manifested my future wife on purpose. She's happy for me to do anything I want to in the business world. So we are a good fit because I ended up working for 21 companies in 3 years, left 7, got sacked from 7 and 7 went bust. It was an amazing crash course in all sorts of things. I used to love going to a new company and showing the best window fitter in the company that I was at least twice as fast as he was... Well I was a kid at the time. But I have always loved winning and proving the experts wrong. As you can imagine, I didn't make a lot of friends but I did garner a lot of respect.

One particularly proud moment came years after I'd left those businesses when my wife Alison was attempting to sell to other window fitters. She went up to a group of them and told them her husband used to fit for their company.. Someone asked what my name was and whether was I any good. She said I was the fastest and the best. The fitter replied, “Well we’re all that”. Then another fitter said he used to work with me and then said, "No. Andy was the fastest and the best!" 

Then, as the recession was really biting at the start of 1991, I decided to start my first business with almost no idea of how to do it. Took me and my business partner at the time about four years before we started making regular money again. After several years we turned that business into seven businesses employing somewhere between 100 to 150 people.

By then I'd realised  I loved reading books. So I consumed them at a voracious rate. 

But I soon found out  I was reading books that weren't giving me much. I had already used the law of attraction countless times to manifest all sorts of things. So I decided to use it to manifest only the books I must read. This transformed the knowledge I gained, and my thinking transformed it into wisdom at an increasing rate.

Then one day I thought “I need more fun and success in my life, and I don't have time to fully learn marketing, so why don't I manifest a genius to help me so that I can help him too?”. That failed as I manifested two geniuses almost straight away! 

We used their genius, along with my first book, to turn me into the UK's best selling author on property investment just months after writing it. I in turn brought big thinking to the table and we turned that book into a business that, although it was only a fledgling company, sold €8,000,000 of real estate in just 60 seconds, as well as  many other things, including training courses and membership sites.

It was in that business that, for the first time, I got to experience the pleasure of helping other people make money. I liked it. I liked it a lot!

We were literally flying on cloud nine... Everything I touched turned to gold... But it wasn't to last.

Northern Rock and the Great Recession hit just as I was negotiating the sale of another one of my businesses to a major bank. Obviously the sale didn't go through.

From there it was like a slow motion train wreck which took about 15 months to hit the inevitable conclusion.

In my first book, I had actually predicted this failure by writing, "the only way this system I've come up with can ever fail is if all the banks stop lending money at the same time." 

They did exactly that in 2008. This led to my bankruptcy in 2009. There were a few angry people but most people understood the powers that be had changed the rules on us and we were over-exposed financially, so cashflow killed us.

As my financial world fell apart, I focused on building my mindset for my future life once this train wreck had happened. I developed all sorts of mindset training techniques for myself which I created as a result of reading and re-reading six to 10 books. This led me to go on a somewhat enlightening journey.

I had a front row seat at the end of my old financial life and thanks to this enlightening experience, I was actually enjoying what would normally be the worst of times.

In 2010 my new life began.

The people who had trusted me asked me to talk about making money again. Given that I had just lost north of $50,000,000 I said that was ridiculous.

But I was also getting asked about how the heck my mindset was so strong given the national coverage of my bankruptcy, the death threats and the other nasty threats too.

People have sent me tens of thousands of thank you messages and I am grateful for each and every one. I sold tens of thousands of books and I know they sold in over 140 countries. Which meant I got to travel around the world teaching my structured thinking techniques to all who would listen.

This is me with my friends Tim & Pete taken at Heathrow airport as we began our world tour in 2013, and then again at another airport (San Fransisco I think)

As I only had to do one webcast a week, plus being retired, I had a lot of time on my hands... So, for a couple of years, I taught my son David how to build. And while I was doing all of that I was learning a new hobby... Which recently turned into something a lot more.

I became a talented amateur in stock trading in the precious metals market. So much so that I got extremely efficient with it and mastered it in a way that no one I could find was teaching. I had found the secret to keeping my money in the market still be able to keep taking profits, and not sit in losing stocks. 

In other words I had created another money-machine. But it did take me four and a half years to get there! So when you combine this system with my mindset capability and my understanding of macroeconomics,(which for some reason I've always just had), you end up with a pretty impressive system for generating large amounts of profit.

So now I'm getting to help people make money again, which is a good way to make friends in my opinion.

So that's my story in a Cliffs Notes way.

I began this by saying to you that I have always thought differently to most people. Though that said on any subject we discuss, most people find themselves agreeing with me when they've had a chance to process my thinking on it.

This is because I bring more to the conversation and understanding than I look like I do.

My discernment and my predictive skills are why I thought people would benefit if I did a webcast discussing world events and their ramifications.

Simply put, I see things others do not. I make connections others cannot.

That is what is different on our webcast. We offer a unique perspective and guidance when dealing with all sorts of good things, and all sorts of bad things. 

To be honest I never imagined for a second that people would subscribe to a webcast in 2020 and not quit it soon after. Yet here we are in 2025 and about 25% of the people who originally signed up are still here.

Then I thought, well my co-hosts would get fed up and quit… Well not yet anyway, and they don’t even get paid!

So it appears that an old, bald, fat white man with an ability to discern well between all of the world's actual experts on what is known and unknown and what is maybe known appears to hold some value.

What Could Put You Off Joining?...

Firstly a few things which may put you off from joining. If they do that's a good thing.

1. I advised a friend who wanted to sign up recently that he would like and dislike it in equal amounts.
2. As a newcomer, we've got to play you in. We don't want you crashing the party in a big way. For the first month you'll only get the replays. We'd like you to watch what's going on. Feel free to submit questions, and then, after you've seen how we work, we'll invite you to join us live if you would like to.  
3. I was born in 1967 and there isn't a socialist bone in my body. I am libertarian meaning I don't like or in any way trust the government. Given that profile, watching the memes alone would be challenging to a socialist.
4. After you subscribe, it is a manual process for us to add you, so please give Phil (my business partner) a little time to sort your subscription out.

Will This Be Right For You?

The chances are as you've read this far, then yes it will.

What I recommend people do is join for a month then, if they like it, come back and get the six months or one year access because it is cheaper.

What's The Guarantee?

P.S. When I first offered this webcast in 2020 this was the headline and the copy I used to convince people to join us. Five years on and this copy has aged VERY WELL:

Today, Your Ability to Respond Instead of React To All The Constant Changes Will Be What Separates You From Those Who Are Being Crushed By Them!

Our World Is Changing By The Hour, People Are Panicking, Stressed, Anxious, Afraid, & Acting Just Darn Stupid!

There will be winners and losers that come out of this, and the losers will be in the vast majority.

The winners will be the tiny few Rational Thinkers, the informed, the enlightened, the prepared, those who are acquainted with, 'what's probably going to happen next'.

These tiny few, can and will, put themselves in the right position to endure, grow, learn, raise their consciousness, and then be in the right position to profit as the opportunities present themselves.

The Ability To Adapt To Change & Still Think Rationally Is Today's Key Skill
