Here in the UK its the start of the new financial year and as I've clearly been away from updating this site for a while, today seemed a good day to start adding more to it again in order to help people move forward.  The last year or so has been a bumpy ride for many and so I thought I needed to come back to this site in order to help people. A few weeks ago, the UK saw a demonstration in

I didn't actually go anywhere. I've just had a few things to do and looking at what I can do to improve my future.All the time I've been away I've been learning more and more. It's been a great experience. Oddly enough it's been an eye opener all the time the world has been changing around. It looks like the world has come down crashing down around our ears. Banks collapsing, industries

That's some statement isn't it?It's true though. I wish I'd been wrong about something I spotted years ago. In a previous job I worked in marketing for the financial services industry. During that time I could see the coming credit crunch. I watched as companies kept marketing credit to people yet at the same time saw these companies show increasing concern at the number of people defaulting

Looking at the stores you could be forgiven for thinking Christmas starts in the next week. Well for the retail giants it effectively does. It seems Christmas has it's own "surge" evey year where there is a battle between them and you the customer.Over the last few years, we've seen new elements to Christmas. What am I talking about? I'm basically speaking about the fact that every year there

Having been ill recently I've not been able to do much. I did however have a period where I was able to watch the movie that Oprah has been talking about The Secret.I've commented on it before but I hadn't actually seen it. Now I have and I'm glad I did. I wanted to share what I'd found but realise it may not be for everyone and many will not yet be ready for what I consider it's profound

I've been quiet on here recently. Mainly because I've been unwell. While I have been ill I've not totally wasted my time.One of the things I do is keep a book which I use as an ideas file. If I think of something I jot it down so that I can refer to it at a later date. I don't dismiss any of the ideas at first, by think no it won't work. In fact by the time I get back to it and think properly

or why you should start creating your golden future right nowI've spoken endlessly about Robert Kiyosaki and his work. To be truthful I'll probably bore anyone who will listen to me for more than five minutes.The reason is that he has something worth listening to. In his latest book along with his co-author, Donald Trump he came up with a very stark observation. It reminded me of the scene at the

I know - I've spelled it wrong (but this time it was deliberate)I haven't seen the movie yet but I was itching to go out and buy the book after I read a little about Chris Gardner on whom the book is based. From what I read this guy has a life story we could all learn from. From flat broke, homeless and with his son in tow to a multi-millionaire who sold his own trading company. Now I've got the

I've read time and time again that in order to succeed you really need to change your mind and how it thinks. One of the key things that keeps coming out is to expect success. Anthony Robins calls it making superior evaluations. In other words you have to approach your day with the expectation that it will turn out just the way you want it. Jack Canfield talks about you becoming an inverse

Just before Christmas I got a bit of inspiration reading a thread on a forum. One of the posters was a guy called Big Mike. In a very short post I learned that the guy not only ran Internet businesses but also offline businesses. Reading that jolted me into action and put me back on track.I finally found out Big Mikes real name. Because I wanted to know a bit more I googled his name. Try it for

I didn't sleep too well last night. I'd had a long day in London, but as I love the buzz of the place it was very motivating. I've paid for it today and struggled to do much but I pushed on nevertheless.Tonight, instead of pressing on with my business, I started to crash in front of the TV. Part of me thought here I go, watching garbage show after garbage show. Fortunately I managed to pick a

Pick Your Friends CarefullyIf you've heard it said, be careful who you mix with because they help create the environment in which you live, you would have received sound advice.You should be selective because it will turn out to be correct more often than it's wrong. In fact I had an example of it recently.Last week a friend and I were talking. He like me thinks working towards financial

Why The Old Me Had To DieHaving read the Donald / Robert book and the others I've done plenty of thinking. In agreeing with the principles of the book I must do more to take care of my financial future.If you haven't seen the books, it's a realistic question to ask what I'm on about. What's the coming 'disaster'? I'll come onto that but for the first section I wanted to talk about a few

Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki & I See a Similar FuturePretty much all of us probably have an expectation that our welfare systems will catch us when we fall. To some degree we've been raised to accept that principle. Unfortunately it's generalised. More of the population expect more for giving less in return. ore money - shorter working hours. Credit for those must have purchases because we

Some ChangesI'm going to change this a little bit. I have to admit I took my eye off the ball at the back end of the and as a result some things have slid a bit. I've realised I need to knuckle down more this year with hopefully more action to deliver success in my business ideas. To help me I'm looking to post a lot more often because I'm sure I'm not the only one who has these ups and downs.

A quick message to wish everyone a happy new year.I'll be posting later today and look to be a more regular poster. In time honoured tradition I'm looking for this year to be an improvment on last year. Fortunately I've been thinking a lot more leading up to the new year and about the things I want to improve and am a lot more focussed on what I want to achieve.Be back later.

If you’re new to the world of Internet Marketing (IM), chances are you’ve joined in order to make you’re life financially better. Most likely you’ve been attracted through an information product offered on the internet and will be very excited at the possibility of making sums of money that will be yours and not paid to your employer. This can be hindered by a problem which makes no sense but

Get out of debt by turning it on its head – Part One.There is an ever increasing reliance on the use of credit to fund the lifestyle demands of the 21st Century consumer. With that demand however is coming an additional problem. Over indebtedness. Credit appeals to so many. Take it away now and pay for it later. Psychologically that use of later almost conjures up images of something for free

There's now more about me on the webIt's taken me a little while to get going but I've now got my website up and running.I decided I wanted people to be able to see more about me and understand more about where I'm coming from in wanting others to make money and to help them become financially free. Plus I wanted to be able to give people a bit more. As a result I've set up a chat room where

How The Rich See MoneyAlthough I mentioned in my last post that people need to understand how they spend money, one of the key points I was trying to make is that in order to become financially free you have to understand how you look at money. Even though there seems to be nothing about how to work from home, this understanding is a vital step on your way. The reason; in order to work from home,

Did You Really Need All That Stuff?Before I started on plan to work from home and own my own business I needed to understand money and my approach to it. I would say it's the same for others. Part of that was understanding why I was in debt. What had contributed to it.As ever, Robert Kiyosaki in his Rich Dad books supplied an answer - in the form of a question. It was:"Do you need all those

The odd thing about my conversation with my friend was that although he wanted to be like me he couldn’t actually put his finger on what it was he wanted. That also showed through because he didn’t actually ask me how I achieved what I had. Again to cut a long story short he had seen me work for someone and then work for myself and he wanted some of that. He wanted financial freedom. Freedom

I was talking with a friend of mine recently who was telling me what an awful time he was having at work. He complained about his wages, his boss, his working hours and the debts he was trying to keep up with using his wages. He sounded really dragged down about it and very bitter and kept saying how he wished he could be like me. When I asked him what he proposed to do about his situation he

Wherever you are in the world, this lesson applies to you. So many of us have turned not only our finances, but our whole future to others in the belief they will look after us when we can't look after ourselves. Unfortunately it's not as true as it once was.Our money is not being spent well by our governments any more. They splash it around to impress people who don't care who's money it is -

As promised I've added something new to my links section. It's an amazing product for those looking to create an income stream that could give them something within 30 days. It's called The One Month Magnate and its quite unique.It's a popular claim by very rich people that if they lost every penny they had, they could make it all back. Not because of who they are, but because of how they

So many of us hate the job we get up to do every day. We dread the feeling we get in the pit of our stomach on a Sunday evening. That horrible sinking feeling that means when we go to bed that night, we will wake the next day and have to go to a job that is literally draining the life out of us. All so many of us want is the money to have the freedom to decide what we will do each day without our
