"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink"
Did you catch the article on Nathan Tinkler, the wealthiest Australian under 40?
Here is a quote:
"His big break came in 2006, when he borrowed $500,000 against his business to buy a coal mine in which others saw no potential. He lobbied Asian investors for the balance, about $29.5 million.
Within 13 months he sold his company to Macarthur Coal for $275 million."
