Millionaire Mind
Be good at what you do and play nice
Over my many years working for a large company, the one thing that I have learned above all else is the importance of managing your reputation. Now, by saying this, I do not mean that you need to become everyone’s friend – far from it. The importance of having a wide range of friends is [...]
Dow to hit 10,000. Why?
As I’ve watched the markets claw their way back from the brink of disaster I’ve begun to wonder what’s causing the market to rise. As I posted yesterday, the true US unemployment rate may be as high as 20%, the credit markets are almost non-existent, mortgage defaults increasing and (although I think it’s a great [...]
Unemployment now over 20%

This site says that we are actually in a period of much larger deflation (according to the CPI) than reported and that the current unemployment rate is actually at about 20% (not the 9% reported in [...]

The Free Ride Is Over in 2017
I was watching a show earlier this evening that had a couple of people talking about the coming Baby Boomer crisis. According to their calculations, there will be a huge market and economic crash in about 2017. This is the date that the government will officially start paying out more in retirement benefits to aging [...]
Do You Know Your Strengths?
As I mentioned in my previous posting, Play To Your Strengths with Marcus Buckingham, I have begun the journey towards focusing on my strengths and removing those aspects of my career that utilize areas that I am weak. When I say this, what I mean is that I’ve decided to take control over my career [...]
I’m Here To…
Yesterday I started a journey towards a greater and more focused life (The Success Principles – 62 Step Challenge).
