Room review: Fable Dunedin is a clever mix of old and new

If first impressions matter, make sure you cross the road and look at the facade of Dunedin’s newly made over Fable hotel before heading inside – its elaborate Victorian Italianate frontage is breathtaking, and looks like something straight from the history books or at least somewhere in … View moreIf first impressions matter, make sure you cross the road and look at the facade of Dunedin’s newly made over Fable hotel before heading inside – its elaborate Victorian Italianate frontage is breathtaking, and looks like something straight from the history books or at least somewhere in Europe.

A quiet revolution has begun in small town Wānaka with growing support for a plan to break free from domineering neighbour Queenstown.

Self-employed mechanic Dean Rankin has initiated the move through a petition calling for the Local Government Commission to review the structure of the Queenstown Lakes District Council.

He needed the support of at least 10 per cent of local voters, or about 1500 people, to push for change and had hit 1200 on Wednesday morning.

Rankin would like to see the Upper Clutha area, including Wānaka, Hawea, Luggate and Makarora, establish its own council.

What do you think of Rankin's proposal? Read more here and tell us what you think in the comments below.

Another great story!
Southland father and son, Robert and Bobby Baird have recently received their forestry qualifications, proving you are never too old to learn.

While Robert has practical experience gained during four decades in the bush, he says vocational training like the qualification he has just done is helping keep people safe.

Competenz assessor Neville Muir worked with Bairds throughout their training programme.

“Bobby is very driven to succeed and very organised. He’s also very keen to continue upskilling his crew and there are a lot of different certificates still to do,” he says.

While Bobby is his boss at work, Robert turns back into ‘dad’ at the end of the day. “I give him a hand during the day when he’s got a lot of work on. We have a great relationship and it’s a magic thing to be able to do to work with your son.”

Business of the Future Now - Proven Recession Resilience.

Alister from Dream Big New Zealand

Hi, I’m Alister & I’m a young 66-year-old still with Big Dreams and a desire to Control my Future.

Hi, I’m Alister & I’m a young 66-year-old still with Big Dreams and a desire to Control my Future.

It is interesting being back in lockdown. Now I have a bit of time to reflect on the past few years and contemplate how my “Future Self“ will look back on the next few years.

Looking back from today - in 2007/8 I was married and living a very belated OE in London. Seemed like a good idea at the time but the GFC changed that opportunity Big Time.

Arriving back in New Zealand with more debt than we had when leaving and no real direction I went on a downward spiral; jobs I did not enjoy, a very flat real estate market, a failed traditional business and a failed marriage. I felt drained and empty. My anxiety levels were high, I had no direction or idea how to get out of the mess I had created but through it all I still held a vision of a life of Abundance and Prosperity !

So, as we head into Spring, I would like to spread some hope and love which may be a little infectious. My finances are under control, I live a simple life with a lot of love and joy, I’m very grateful for what I have and for each and every day.

I did come across the right vehicle to take me on my journey towards a life of Abundance and Prosperity. With my new partner we are failing our way to success.

What is it about our vehicle to success? Firstly, it takes an investment of both time and money (very modest c.f traditional businesses) and also:

• Surrounding ourselves with like-minded people who will support, love and back you with a Win:Win philosophy
• Having the attitude of ‘yes, I can’ (I started with the end in mind)
• Success leaves clues following Leaders that have been there, done that. Follow daily activities for success
• Being willing to let go and to surrender “Hold on Tight to your Dream” leave the how and when to the Universe.
• Have an attitude of continuous improvement to quote Dr Wayne Dyer “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change".

Personal growth is a bit like showering - it needs to be done daily so said the late Jim Rohn.

People will say “I don’t have the money to start”
• Not many do however once you have decided to start use your entrepreneurial spirit and imagination to find the funds.

“Sounds like a Scam “
• With over 16 years of proven success operating globally within legislation backed by award winning personal development and wealth creation products delivered online which cost well in excess of $ 1 million to produce all assisting people to grow. Sounds legit to me.

Is this “too good to be true”
• Great question - there are hundreds of people who say this is So GOOD and SO TRUE. Training and business systems are world class. Our systems work. Do you have the will, energy and motivation to open yourself to learning new skills and developing your self?
