John comes from a successful entrepreneur lineage with grandparents on both sides quite different and equally successful. John Vincent Ratcliffe, John’s grandfather, taught himself tax law and accounting initially working in the Australian tax office. He had a highly successful Independent Tax advisor career post Tax Department days which entailed helping multinationals saving millions in tax legally and earning grand fees for his work.
This talent for investing being both an astute property investor and share investor were equally impressive. John’s other grandfather, Federick Bowker, pioneered X-Ray machines in Australia. So no slouch on the Entrepreneurial front either.

John says, ‘I have never not been trading, investing, whether full time as I do nowadays of part time’. A great advantage to start young for any investor.
Initially, John studied Economics and worked in Accounting. Then followed a self directed career in the computer industry with roles in Operations, Networking and Programming. John found myself working in a call centre which helped him realize that he was meant to be self employed.
It was at this time that John realized that it ok to be self-employed and in fact you can be enormously success in that way too.
John built his own investment property portfolio later turning it into a successful furnished apartment rental business and executive accommodation service provider. Also John grew his own self managed super fund for retirement savings through active share investing trading. At the same time he was trading his own portfolio that funded his passion for travel and learning about other cultures and civilizations.
John mentioned that seeing the movie and reading the book, The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne led him to discovering Jack Canfield who featured in the movie. John went on to study Jacks’ book, The Success Principles.
