When The Pupil Is Ready, The Teacher Appears

July 21st, 2007 by Ian

I was reading an article the other day and one of the quotes in it was “When the pupil is ready, the teacher appears” and it got me thinking about how blessed I have been with finding great and even brilliant teachers. And most of the time I didn’t go in search of them, they were presented to me. Each and every one has proven to be a gift in my life, often teaching me about something far great than their subject matter. Take Gwenda for example.

Gwenda is a singing teacher in Sydney NSW. And here’s the story …… 

A friend gave me a gift of 2 singing lessons. Yes, I know, I’m Welsh and I should have been able to sing in the womb (and I probably did). My father was a Baptist minister, so my sister and I were expected to “perform” from an early age and that is what we did. Probably my biggest audience was at the age of 6 singing in the Easter Festival in front of 1500 people all by myself!!!!! I can remember it as if it was yesterday, but you know, that’s another story!

At the age of 11, the rebellious age, I didn’t want to sing in chapel anymore especially one Sunday at the Children’s service. So, out of stubbornness, I chose the shortest song possible and didn’t practice, so on the Sunday morning it was a complete disaster. My voice seemed to break. So there I was, in front of a “live” audience, no voice and wanting God to answer my prayer of opening up the pulpit so I could drown in the baptism pit underneath. God didn’t answer my prayer that day. And he certainly didn’t answer when I had to face the wrath of my mother! Ever since that day I was convinced I couldn’t sing. 

But I love to sing, dance and entertain. So to compensate (or some would say, overcompensate) I would burst into song at the most inappropriate times and very loudly! Usually catching everyone off guard and probably not in key but with a lot of gusto. So you can probably guess why my friend gave me the singing lessons!

Anyway, I went for my 2 singing lessons and got hooked. But what was it? You see it wasn’t about the singing. It was finding my voice, it was realising something that was in me and having the confidence to use it with great guidance and direction from a great teacher. A teacher like Gwenda. And I believe in each and every one of us there’s a voice saying there’s something that we need to get done and we just need some help. 

Learning about money, investing and business has been exactly like that for Ian and me and again we have been blessed with great teachers. And we’d like to think that that’s what we are able to do for you: present you with an opportunity to learn from the best, be surrounded by people who have a mission to help you, to support you, and provide you with an ideal solution to help you find “your voice”.

So, if you haven’t checked out the Homestudy Program we recommend you do now (go to www.InvestmentSuccessNow.com/homestudy.html). It has allowed many people to give up their day jobs within 90 to 180 days. Is that something you would like to do? If you’re not ready yet, then we will always be here, waiting to help the student when they are ready. 

In the meantime we wish you all the best and keep dreaming
