    It's a great day to be alive

    Wonderful post, thank you.

    My hardest buseniss lesson , what is yours?

    MINDSET 
    Mine is actually quite similar. Some years ago I went into business with a woman who was really NICE but I didn't do my due diligence - it also turned out she was unreliable, quite lazy, irresponsible and quite the fantasist. Big mistake and at the end of the day MY mistake for not checking...

    Living like a king without working - a man living on government assistance for over 30 years

    I doubt this gentleman is lazy - look how immaculate his place is. Some people have serious illnesses and disabilities you cannot see by looking at them e.g. heart conditions, lupus, Crohn's disease, brain injuries, rheumatoid arthritis, mental health issues. There are some which cause chronic...

    What business would you start with $50,000 to help save bees

    HOT! 
    Sell wildflower seed mixes at reasonable prices. I already do here in NZ and they go like hot cakes. Just sold a big order to a guy who is going to plant an entire river bank on his property. I make a modest profit on every bag sold but I also have the satisfaction of knowing thousands more...

    This simple rule of success from Jeff Bezos can change your life

    EXECUTION 
    I really like what you're saying here - thank you. I am a farmer/gardener and have a small seed company. I think it provides another good example of what you're saying. We have to save the seeds over the summer and autumn or there will be nothing to plant in the spring or to sell. We have...

    Deep Analysis Of Instagram (you will delete it after reading this... hopefully)

    Truth. Thanks for this.

    What business would you start if you had a ranch?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    We have a small farm and I'm from generations of farmers so this is something which really interests me. Is your aim to make as much money as possible or are you prepared to have a more enjoyable lifestyle and less money? What expertise and experience do you have? What do you enjoy doing...

    Learning for learnings sake... How to add a “why”?

    I think a good question to ask is "what is the most valuable use of my time right now?". Usually the answer comes to me pretty quickly. On the other hand I think we all need some down time. I would ask myself, is this productive time or down time? I generally allow myself 1 - 2 hours down...

    Ashamed of business?

    PEOPLE 
    Cleaning is good, honest, essential work. I've no idea why anyone would be ashamed of being a cleaner or having a cleaning business, especially such a successful one. Is there a bit of snobbery going on here? Because that's kinda sad.

    I Built A Worldwide Business From Broke.

    GOLD! 
    Thank you Carol, I love reading what you write and appreciate you sharing your words of wisdom and inspiration. I am across the ditch from you, Kiwiland! South Island. I have some pretty significant health problems I am working on but I'm not going to let that stop me. In fact two years ago...

    I was always tired - then changed my life

    HEALTH 
    Great stuff - thank you for this. My number one is also plenty of sleep. 7 to 8 hours a night is about right for me. Next is prayer, meditation and deep breathing for even 5 to 10 minutes before I really start the day. It helps me a lot with feeling centred, grounded and focussed. Diet -...

    CHART OF THE WEEK: Mapped, Countries With the Highest Housing Bubble Risks

    House and property prices in NZ are insane. I think we're at a point in some areas now though where sales have slowed markedly because everyone knows there is probably a correction coming and no one wants to be the one left holding a house or property which has dropped in value.

    Man's Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl

    HOT! 
    Incredible, very poignant book which took my breath away on occasion - how anyone can live through such horrors astounds me. I found this passage especially moving: One day, a few days after the liberation, I walked through the country past flowering meadows, for miles and miles, toward the...

    INTRO 
    Hi @Cherith, a very warm welcome to you. I loved what you wrote. I'm new here too and share some of your sentiments. I read The Millionaire Fastlane a few weeks ago and think MJ de Marco is brilliant, however I didn't agree with everything he said and am thinking about a lot of it long and...

    Creating Your Digital Library At A Fraction Of The Price

    Thanks for that OP. Quite by chance I saw Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill was free on Kindle the other day. I have two hard copies I've acquired over the last several years but it's quite handy to have it on Kindle too so I downloaded it. I also got the Millionaire Fastlane for $1.04...
