The new television Series of Masterchef Australia is here. Masterchef Australia was compelling viewing for me last year surprisingly not just for the delicious looking food, wonderful recipe ideas, hints & Tips – but also for the ambition and passion of the contestants involved.
Without exception, every one of the Masterchef finalists were successful in other professional careers but had always wanted to pursue a career that involved their passion in life – food.
They all had similar stories to tell, basically that involved them going into careers that they were almost expected to pursue but which, in some way or another, were never truly fulfilling for them.
They all felt that fear, risk and the expectations of others had prevented them from acting upon their true purpose in life.
Masterchef or Master Of Your Own Destiny?
It made me think – What makes someone want to give up a successful professional career to pursue a career in cooking under the glare of the Masterchef Australia spotlights where their trials and tribulations, failures and successes are all laid bare for the world to see?
Professional cooking is a fast paced, high pressure environment that involves working long hours in uncomfortable surroundings – much harder than most of the contestants current professions. Masterchef contestants were exposed to these kinds of pressures on a daily basis throughout the series with each of the challenges set becoming progressively harder as the series went on.
The contestants met and overcame these challenges each time and this to me demonstrates perfectly how a persons drive and determination to pursue and achieve their dreams and do something they are passionate about in life can be accomplished no matter what obstacles are placed before them.
Each of the Masterchef contestants knows with certainty that they will bring more happiness and fulfillment into their lives once they have achieved their burning ambition.
iNetPro Training – All Your Ingredients To Change
Interestingly it wasn’t the most gifted chef that won through in the end, demonstrating that Skill is developed though practice and coaching. The Best Training makes all the difference because, whilst a “god given talent” may be important, it’s the drive, persistence, determination and self belief that are more important in the end.
So if you have ever felt like there was more that you were put on this earth to do, that life has somehow got in the way of your dreams and ambitions, take some time to think about what you really want to do – and then watch Masterchef Australia to see how some people take steps to make it happen for their dreams.
In order to make progress to where you want to be in your life you have to commit to making change. If you don’t make changes to get to where you really want to be then tomorrow is going to be just the same as yesterday – with the exception of you being a day older and your dream still being just as far away.
If you have a dream, an ambition, a desire or a need in your life – take actions to achieve it.
Check out iNetPro Training and YourNetBiz to see how I can help you to take steps towards achieving your personal goals and ambitions in life.
I can guarantee that there will be just as many Masterchef Australia contestents this year with a burning ambition to fulfill their dreams as last year. I suggest you make the time to watch some Masterchef Australia. It might just be that you will be inspired not simply by the food on show – but by the contestants themselves.


Fantastic Dave! The world is filled with people living what Thoreau called “lives of quiet desperation.” Going for a career that you can be passionate about instead of something that “makes sense” and is “practical” and “makes a good income” takes courage! But the rewards for those that refuse to compromise their dreams are endless!
Be present. Expect Success. Live with Passion!

Fabulous and well linked post Dave.
There is a huge difference between people who just wish to make money and people who want to build a business.
The proof is in the pudding. Success comes from passion and dedication, not just flirting with dreams of a free lunch.
The producers of the buffet are the successful ones, not the people standing round wishing they could cook like that…
The answer…. “Go & Learn How”

Absolutely right Nick.
If you are passionate enough about something in life you will find a way of reaching out and grabbing it – people just need to know how to focus on it to achieve it.
