Win! On the Move – the Autobiography of Garth Barfoot
Whether building a business, tackling a triathlon, or writing a book, sometimes it pays to jump in with both (Bar)feet!
Known in NZ for his real estate empire, Barfoot & Thompson, Garth Barfoot has tackled many challenges in the sporting world during a life well lived.
From his upbringing in Panmure, Auckland, to featuring on the National Business Review’s Rich List and competing in more than 30 Iron distance triathlons, in On the Move, Garth leads readers through his life with the help of co-author, Cushla Innes.
And there’s still a way to go, as Garth (aged 78) explains: “I’m often asked when I’ll retire from work and I struggle to provide an appropriate response to that. To my secretary I say, ‘I’ll leave when I finish the next box of staples,’ but she and I both know I’ll get through those and possibly five more boxes before the joke wears thin.
“I admit that throwing myself into life headfirst isn’t always pleasant; the outcome can be tough, messy, even painful, but all of those things are preferable to me than the alternative, which would be shutting down and missing out – pushing myself and demanding heaps of my mind and body makes me feel great.”
