A roundtable, not a conference
Knowing isn’t doing.
This year is the doing.
Learning how to exercise isn’t the same as doing the exercise itself. The same applies to achieving financial independence.
The FAT FIRE Mastermind is a 12-months program designed to help participants turn financial knowledge into meaningful action through personalised planning, direct mentoring, accountability and a supportive community.
This is an interactive, small-group roundtable experience where participants work on their own circumstances, learn from experienced those who have done it and develop a practical strategic and psychological roadmap towards your own financial freedom.
Your application deposit is fully refundable if you decide not to proceed after your suitability interview, or if your application is unsuccessful. Dates and venues are subject to final confirmation.

Our Philosophy
A conference can change your perspective. A Mastermind can change your trajectory.
Financial independence isn’t achieved through a single event. It requires continuous learning, consistent action, accountability and improvement.
The FAT FIRE Mastermind is designed to help participants build the knowledge, habits, relationships and momentum to keep working towards financial freedom, and towards a life of greater purpose, abundance and fulfilment.
Before you apply
Questions,
answered.
Programme Structure
Do I need to attend all four mastermind weekends?
No. Attendance is flexible, and you’re welcome to attend as many weekends as you like during your membership.
However, we encourage you to attend all four weekends. Repeated exposure helps reinforce important concepts, deepen your understanding and uncover new insights as your circumstances evolve.
When does my 12-month membership begin and end?
Your membership officially begins when you attend your first mastermind weekend and runs for 12 months.
The 12-month programme equates to four quarterly mastermind weekends. Members can attend available weekends in Melbourne or Sydney during their membership, subject to capacity.
What happens if a mastermind weekend is full?
To maintain a high-quality, interactive roundtable experience, each mastermind weekend is limited to a maximum of 24 participants.
Places are limited, so we encourage members to register for their preferred weekends early.
We may review capacity in future years as the programme evolves.

Each mastermind weekend is limited to a maximum of 24 participants.
This ensures our roundtable format remains interactive, allowing meaningful conversations, personal connections and opportunities for everyone to contribute.
