  Reject The Average Path! 
  The average path for financial advisors is broken. Prospecting too often becomes sales rather than service. Most advisors don’t last and those that do have a long grind ahead of them. 
  There are two paths advisors can take: the average path or the elite path. 
  You can call a lot of people, have as many meetings as possible, and finally create a successful-enough business after ten or so years. 
  Or you can do something different. 
  In this book, Sten Morgan breaks down the process that helped him become one of the top 40 advisors in the country under 40 at the age of 30. As an active advisor and a coach to thousands of other advisors, he will share what it takes to reject the average path. 
  Packed with more than a dozen bonus resources, videos, and worksheets, Value First Prospecting will help you get to work applying this process to your business right away. 
  "Value First Prospecting" isn't just another sales book. It's your roadmap to help you achieve your full potential as a financial advisor, faster.

  Tech Startups - Building and...

  The foundation of every successful tech startup lies in adopting the right mindset—one that embraces uncertainty, thrives under pressure, and is relentlessly focused on solving real problems. Unlike traditional business models that may prioritize structure and predictability, startups demand a different kind of thinking: bold, experimental, and deeply resilient. The startup mindset is not just about launching a product; it’s about challenging the status quo and envisioning a better way of doing things. 
  At the heart of this mindset is the willingness to take risks. Entrepreneurs must accept that failure is not just a possibility—it’s often a necessary step toward success. Embracing risk doesn’t mean acting recklessly, but rather being comfortable making decisions without having all the answers. It means testing assumptions, learning quickly from setbacks, and moving forward with renewed insight. The ability to pivot when something isn’t working is a hallmark of great startup founders. 
  Equally important is cultivating a culture that thrives on problem-solving. Tech startups are often born out of frustration with how something works—or doesn’t work—in the world. Founders who succeed are those who remain obsessed with their customers’ pain points and are constantly looking for innovative ways to address them. This requires curiosity, empathy, and a drive to keep iterating until a solution clicks. It also involves surrounding oneself with a team that shares this passion and can offer diverse perspectives on how to improve and evolve.

  Australia on the Brink

  In 1996, the first independent national report on the state of Australia’s environment found that we faced serious problems. With increasing urgency, five subsequent reports declared those problems were all getting worse, each calling for immediate action to protect our future. The 2021 report determined that, ‘Overall, the state and trend of the environment of Australia are poor and deteriorating as a result of increasing pressures from climate change, habitat loss, invasive species, pollution and resource extraction,’ and warned of the dramatic impact on our health and living standards. It is now clearer than ever that the consequences of long-term inaction are upon us.Accelerating climate change and the loss of our unique biodiversity are the most obvious signs of the grim outlook for future generations of Australians. But the international trends are equally worrying, with quixotic economic systems casting doubt on the wisdom of running down our domestic production of essential goods and services in favour of a dependence on trade. It is no exaggeration to conclude that Australian society itself is at risk.In Australia on the Brink, Ian Lowe argues that the essential first steps in addressing these threats are stabilising the global climate and protecting our local biota. We must also change the emphasis of resource extraction from a damaging reliance on trade to improving our capacity to meet our own needs. This is our best – perhaps our only – chance of restoring a sense of social stability, and the equality of opportunity that was once a hallmark of this country.
