As a young man Ron Holland was a budding entrepreneur and set up his own motorcycle shop. Very quickly he over expanded and ran into financial difficulties. He tried all the banks and the usual Venture Capital routes in Run Around City, all to no avail. Ron then visualized his practically empty motorcycle shops brimming with motorcycles. In actual fact, in his imagination he saw so many bikes he couldn’t close the showroom doors. Bikes were flooding in. He carried out his visualization for three days. On the third day it hit him Eureka!

His inner voice said to him ‘You don’t need banks or venture capital. All you have to do is buy all the motorcycle papers and phone up people advertising their bikes for sale in the classified adverts.’ This hit Ron like a ton of Bricks! He made hundreds of phone calls offering to sell people bikes on a commission only basis and the bikes came flooding in. Once they were sold, Ron would extract is hefty pre-arranged commission and put a check for the balance in the mail. This is how Ron created his first fortune. He then went on to write the bestseller Talk and Grow Rich which over the past 25 years has created literally thousands of millionaires in over 32 countries.

He loves to tell the story of an accountancy client that came to him wanting to raise a $5,000,000 fund to kick-start a venture capital company. He took on the assignment and immediately started to visualise where $5,000,000 could possibly come from. Within an hour Ron had the solution and it worked liked dream. He helped the accountancy practice create a beautifully crafted brochure for the venture capital company, which they had printed. It showed them to be a VC company anyone would be proud to be part of. They then advertised for a suitable chairman and they were swamped with enquires. They sent out the brochure with a letter stating that the Chairman would be responsible for bringing on board the first $5,000,000 to kick-start the fund, thinking this would separate the men from the boys and pre-qualify and make the selection task a lot easier. It was amazing but every applicant to a man agreed to carry out the fund raising task! They started meeting the applicants and agreed a deal with the most suitable applicant where the chemistry was there and the $5m was on the table. Ron moved onto his next assignment, something he's been doing for the past 25 years, earning him the reputation of Top Biz Guru.
