Home ownership has long been part of the Australian dream, but until recently it was a dream controlled by the banks and out of reach for many Australians. These days the market is wide open and more Australians than ever before are experiencing the joys of home ownership. The catalyst for this change was one visionary man and his brave, revolutionary business idea. Aussie Johnis the story of John Symond's life, from his happy childhood in Brisbane and Sydney's west and his financial failure after the 1987 crash, to his emergence as one of Australia's most inspiring businessmen. But more than this, this book is a manual for how to succeed in business.
