Our Mission

We are dedicated to empowering people with a simple and effective framework for high performance fearless living. Our program and events provide the principles to become your own life architect and the tools to constantly review and upgrade every aspect.

We live in an era where self-awareness and curiosity have been ditched in favour of learning that focuses on all things external from trigonometry to Shakespeare. But there is so much more to being human than learning how to pass exams or being a doctor, plumber, accountant or beautician. These are things we do to make money and find fulfilment. But they do not define who we are. We are so much more than that.

At a Higher Branch Success Academy, we take a holistic look at personal performance by using the eight areas of life as the roadmap to life and the five-step method for conscious living as the guide to growing in each of them.

Our aim is to help you live a complete life and not just a balanced one. We will help you find meaning and purpose, not just happiness.

Once you attend one of our Upgrade Your Life events or complete The Power of Eight program, you become a member of A Higher Branch Success Academy community for life. You will receive priority registration for all future events, before they are offered to the public. You will also receive VIP invitations to special one-off events and workshops held during the year by our team of subject matter experts.

What a transformative 2 days. I’ve been to dozens of conferences previously, and have never seen such great leadership to give such structure and glue to the facilitators. The lineup was a top shelf of international thought leadership facilitators. I agree with Sam’s speaker introduction that David Goggins is possibly the most influential man on the planet right now. Thanks Sam and the team for an authentic, caring, community approach to upgrading our lives have several practical and effective tools that I WILL implement.

Thank-You to Sam and all the behind the scenes team who made the event flow & of course all the guest speakers! What an amazing service to gift the community. Maddox and I had such a great time & we connected & strengthened our bond. Maddox is a man of few words & some of conversations that we have had over the weekend I get to see that he is
maturing in well rounded human being & I am so thankful that all the information he got over the weekend will in some way always resonate in the back of his mind while he living & growing his life. I also have a huge THANK-YOU to David Goggins for asking Maddox to sit with him last night downstairs on the cruise while I had my dancing shoes on, he only asked him three questions but that simple invite those simple three questions put the biggest smile on his face and made Maddox feel so honoured he has not stopped telling me about it. Looking forward to continuing to be part of the growing higher branch community.

Upgrade Your Life is an event for those that have a deep passion for exiting mediocrity and clearly breaking down the tools for joy, health and prosperity. If you want to take things to the next level in areas of Charity, Love, Family, Work, Friendship, Learning or Wealth, Sam and his team have nailed the magic formulae.

Who knew that this interview was going to be such GOLD! And I was honoured to witness it! To be in the presence of such a respected, humble, aligned, gracious, humorous, open minded, quick witted individual that is David Goggins. WOW what an experience. I so wish I could watch a replay! Dr Jenn Mann was the perfect interviewer and I certainly loved the touching audience stories of Goggins influence in their lives.

I just want to once again personally thank A Higher Branch Academy for your efforts in putting together the most insightful weekend of my life including giving me the opportunity to meet David Goggins and have 2mins to show him my appreciation. It meant so much to me I’m shacking once again as I write this. Listening to others share their stories with David put me at easy and at home in many ways. With or without Goggins I will be back next year bigger and stronger. Love you all. Cheers, peace out.
