Interview With Paul Swaby


Paul Swaby, Founder, ZOMPAS

Challenge: As a public speaker and real estate investor, each week, I have to talk to people about how to create wealth. I’m challenged because the majority of the individuals who attend my seminars know nothing about real estate investments. However, if they know about real estate they usually don’t understand the amount of long-term wealth they can attain.

Solution: I teach people specifically about the “New Found Freedom” (NFF) the fourth book I’m going to write. It hones in on the specific steps required to create long-term wealth and become financially independent.

Lessons Learned:

  • The world is filled with pessimists and optimists
  • Individual success and failure come from two things:
    • “You become what you think about.” Earl Nightingale
    • The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity. I have realized that only enlightened and passionate people are the ones who are optimistic, and find the opportunity in every difficulty
  • I have learned to only work with passionate people and I leave the pessimists to do their own self-discovery thinking

Formula For Success

Attitude + Expectancy + Knowledge + Action = Measurable Improvement

Daily measurable improvements need to be maintained through discipline to achieve success.

What do you think of Paul Swaby’s challenge and how he resolved it? In Jamaica, they often say “Show me your company and I’ll tell you who you are.” Who do you surround yourself with? Optimists? Pessimists? How do your friends hamper or promote you? Think on these things.
