    Of course. Many do. Think of a blog like a huge billboard on the side of the highway. It's there to get attention, show what you do, and ultimately either make you: more informed purchase something talk about it In essence, a blog gets traffic, traffic goes into the funnel, you convert...

    Habits For Desert Of Desertion

    Ruminate on what your life would be like if you never grit your teeth. I'd rather walk through the desert in search of the oasis than lay down and die at the starting line.

    [Closed] The ship has sailed. Definitely not the last thing I wanted to write in this journal, that's for sure. But it's not a total loss. I took action. I learned. I made a few new contacts. If nothing else, I'm proud I took a shot in the dark and went with my gut. I'm glad I learned...

    Not looking to poke holes on a clearly unbelievable pick of stocks, but how did that break out to 8,264 shares of Citibank? Stock split or something? Furthermore, I'm more curious how you came up with them. Banks were pretty risky at the time, though the bailout made them less so, however Sands...

    Just throwing a new perspective into this already excellent thread... What if Have was removed? What if we assumed there was nothing you could Have permanently? You either become, or you don't. You're wealthy, or not. You're an entrepreneur, or not. You're an athlete, or a slouch. You're a...

    'Pick' Up The Beef Jerky Packaging Industry!

    and add a little pouch of toothpicks. What if every single bag of your favorite beef jerky came with a tiny plastic pouch of 3-4 toothpicks? The cost would be a penny or less per unit addition, and the value of the packaging would instantly create an entirely new benefit which no other brand...

    Your Focus Determines Your Reality.

    Time flies! Trooper is such a big boy now. Everyone loves to talk about how well he can speak, and how much he has improved in such a short amount of time. He knows all his numbers, 0-9. He knows his letters. His age, birthday, address, phone number, and every single name of every single family...

    This sounds like a great plan. The auto-enrollment scheme means more than six million British workers have now been signed up automatically to a pension savings scheme, but fears remain over how much is being set aside.

    Should I stop my 401k?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    This is true, because even a loan can be paid back in. EDIT: A portion can even be used as down payment on a home without tax or penalty, too, if I'm not mistaken.

    Should I stop my 401k?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    It's now qualified money, so it's inaccessible. The only exceptions are reaching age 59.5, or using substantially equal periodic payments under IRS code 72(t). If you do decide to take it without using either method, you get penalized 10%. And, in both cases, with or without penalty, you're...

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Like @jon.a said, you always take the match. Here's the caveat... it has to be a dollar-for-dollar match. You put in$1, they put in $1. When you say 20% match, something tells me this is a you put in $1, they put in $.20 type of deal. You wouldn't want to participate in that.

    Fastest path? Build a new business, RE investing, or buy an existing business?

    EXECUTION 
    The reason you're looking for some other avenue is likely because you don't know the value of reinvestment in your own business. And I mean hard numbers. If you were certain, without a doubt, you could put a dollar in one month, and get out 2 within 90 days, how many dollars would you put in...

    If you don't mind, could you expand? From previous dealings in person, the future opportunity was really the ONLY thing discussed, which, to me, makes perfect sense. I get the aspect of a "well oiled machine" and the whole idea of as much "hands off" as possible, but it just seems a future...
