What is your hobby?
I love cross-fit which is an intensive gym training program, going to the beach, meditation and walking along the creek near my house.
How did you get started with this hobby? What inspired you?
Tony Robbins says the secret to emotion is motion, so getting into positive states is all about being in motion.
Tell us what you love about it.
I love doing things that have me move around.
Are there any groups you’re a part of or events that you attend related to your hobby?
There are no groups or events that I attends that are related to my hobbies. The things I love to do involve my family and being by myself.

There’s an app called “Breathing zone” which helps me do the meditation.
Where do you buy most of your supplies?
I buy most of my supplies from attending various seminars and conferences.
Are there any good books for beginners?
There are lots of good books for beginners involving property investing. A book that got lots of people started is, “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki.
How has this changed your life?
Rich Dad Poor Dad has changed my life because it’s very much about moving from being self-employed to being a business owner and investor which I am doing currently.
What advice do you have for others starting out with this hobby?
Get educated. It is better to learn from other people’s mistakes than your own.
Are there any other hobbies you have?
The other hobby I have is reading. I have hundreds of books on my Kindle and I aim to read a book a week.
