* Are you speculating about making money rather than making money speculating?

Reviews & Comments
"Stephen's writing style is conversational, inviting and engaging. I had a sense while reading his book that we were often having a friendly chat. His thoughts were illuminating and challenged me to question widely held beliefs about public speaking. His ideas offer generative, expansive and most importantly living tools for enhancing any speakers' potential to engage an audience."—Dr. John Thoma, PhD

Foreword
By Steven Bowman
"What if having an awareness of the different styles or personas that people adopt, would assist you in your wheelings and dealings in life?
What if a greater awareness of your own personas that you adopt would assist you in looking at things differently?
I have known Stephen for over 10 years now, and have seen him creating his life and businesses from a space of looking at things from a different point of view and his willingness to try new things in ways others would not consider. This book is yet another example of his different way of looking at the world.
My wife, Chutisa, and I have a global business dealing with many hundreds of senior executives and Directors in corporations each year. Looking at how each person chooses to function, and being aware of how they choose to see the world, and working with those awareness’s is what has created our business. This book provides a different way of looking at how people choose to function. The various personas of Treasure Hunter, Collector, Bargainer, Speculator, Investor and Dealer all have implications for how we choose to interact with the world around us, and greater insight into how we choose to be in any situation.
When you read this book, you will ask yourself all sorts of questions like, Hmm, I wonder where I am being that?
or Interesting. How can I use that to my advantage?
If no questions come to my mind, Stephen has provided some very interesting questions throughout the book to jog you into some self reflection.
Congratulations Stephen on sharing your unique way of viewing the world in a way that others may find beneficial and interesting.

Preface
A Great Treasure Hunt
In 2012 I was invited to go antique shopping with author Gary Douglas, Dr. Claudia Cano, jeweler Shari Louise Wright and her husband Roy; we were in Brisbane, Australia. The shopping trip included research that we were doing prior to opening a new antique store, The Antique Guild, in the city. Gary was an experienced antique dealer and it turned out to be wonderfully instructive for me as I observed Gary working, no, playing in a field that he clearly enjoys.
Gary was very generous and included us all in his dealings as we explored some of Brisbane’s most interesting places. It was a great day for me and piqued my own interest in antiques and its business. And it ushered in the gentle whisperings of an idea and was where the first character, Dealer
showed up.
Some months later I heard about an event called Rocky Swap, held in the City of Rockhampton, Queensland and boasting one thousand stalls, including antiques and collectables; a treasure hunter’s paradise
the advertising read. Rockhampton is a six hour drive from where I was living at the time and at 4:00am one Saturday morning, my friend Liam Phillips and I jumped into his car and roared off to Rocky.
We arrived at Rocky Swap around 10:00am and it was huge! And although we walked around it all day, we only purchased two small sterling silver items. It was on the long drive home that Liam and I had a conversation during which two other treasures introduced themselves, Treasure Hunter
and Collector.
I had become very interested in antiques and created a class; an immersive workshop called Making Money with Antiques. The idea was to take a group of people to a large fair held in Nambour called Collectorama, give them tools and send them out on tasks, where they interacted with the various stall holders.
We met for a working breakfast in a local coffee shop, then went to the fair. During the day I went with the various participant groups, learned a lot more about Collector and met Bargainer
at one of the stalls. The day culminated with a show-and-tell, with everyone dwarfed under a huge Morton Bay fig tree like excited elves in the forest.
Following several of these workshops I had enough information to begin writing this book and during that process Investor
and Speculator
let me
