About a Month ago, I had the opportunity to host what is to be the beginning of a series of Industry Guru Networking Events organised by the People’s Association and.  And what a great speaker they secured! – Mr Jim Rogers – An American investor and Author – who co-founded the Quantum Fund with George Soros back in 1973,  has circumnavigated the world twice – once on a motorbike alone, and the second time with his wife in a customised Mercedes Benz.  This 3 year, 245,000km journey achieved Guinness World Record Status.  He definitely has taken the dream of most people of travelling the world to the extreme!

It wasn’t surprising then to see a full house at the Jubilee Hall in Raffles Hotel all eager to hear Mr Jim Rogers address. He gave an inspiring and humorous talk about his journey in life, his successes and failures,  his travels and when pressed during the question and answer session – the occasional ‘financial tip’ despite him stating explicitly at the beginning he would not:).  Although mostly known for his financial success, his most important message he shared was not sharing what he saw as the biggest opportunities for financial gain to achieve the wealth we all want, but rather a great reminder to do what you love, and the wealth and success will follow.

It was a great evening and I hope to make the next one!

Special thanks to Raffles Hotel for sponsoring the Venue, Lindamans for the selection of wines and the generous sponsorship by Frank Cintamani, Chairman of The Celton Group and Fidé who all made this event possible.
