Books & People Are Great Change Catalysts
🎧 We've been enjoying listening to an audiobook "Three Feet From Gold" by Greg Reid & Sharon Lechter. It's a modern day version of Napoleon Hill's classic "Think And Grow Rich" written to share the wisdom he acquired after interviewing the most successful business people in the United States ~100 years ago now. A journey that began when meeting the steel industry business tycoon Andrew Carnegie.
🥇 "Three Feet From Gold" is full of pearls of wisdom from people who have created success in their lives. The consensus from successful goal achievers is pretty much don't listen to the OPINIONS of those who have not created success in the area you are interested in doing so (yet we do 🙄).
📚 The below quote is attributed to the co-author of the book & holds some clues about who we should take advice from if we are looking to create success in life -

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

🚒 Our Fire and Emergency crews have been kept busy lately
And they’re once again reminding everyone: please don’t light fires when it’s windy.
Central Otago will move into a restricted fire season from 1 December 2025, which means anyone planning an outdoor fire will need to apply for a permit and plan ahead.
So we’d love to ask you — how do you make sure you’re being fire-safe at this time of year?
