    4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss

    BOOKS 
    The focus of 4HWW is lifestyle design. The focus of TMF is wealth acquisition. Two totally different topics. And ... two of the BEST books ever written. Do yourself a favor ... don't ask "us" how they compare. Find out for yourself. You'll be glad you did. :)

    Connecticut & Rhode Island Meet-Up

    MEETUPS 
    Mohegan Sun definitely has the edge on Aesthetics. The crystal mountain at the center of the casino is gorgeous ... and the Wolf Den is a great venue for live music. I spend most of my time at the Sun. Foxwoods (on the other hand) has its upsides as well. Paragon Lounge has a nice private...

    I've got a black card ... at Planet Fitness. Costs $10 more than a regular membership ... but the tanning beds are worth it.

    I'm in SO MUCH DEBT

    Dan Kennedy once said (something to the effect of): "If you can't make money without money ... you probably can't make money with it." I think there is (some) truth to that. Just means you have to get a little more resourceful than most. Not the worst thing in the world ... go for it.

    A personal relationship is no different than a business relationship. Asking why I can't get the kind of girl I want ... often ... is no different than an entrepreneur asking ... why can't I get the investors I want ...? Well ... what do you bring to the table ...? Maybe you are asking for...

    Dating & Girlfriend

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Attractive single women in their 30s are "probably" (more often than not) the divorcees of wealthy men. They have become accustomed to living a certain lifestyle ... Even otherwise .... Hot ... 30s ... And NO kids ...? A woman like that KNOWS her market value. She would be a fool not to...

    Ask a former fat guy who lost 90lbs anything

    AMA 
    Atkins. It is the only diet I have ever had meaningful success with. I gain weight when I go off diet (bad eating habits) ... then slowly take it off. Up and down. Moderation ... is not my forte. I am either 100% disciplined. Or 100% out of control. But right now ... I'm in the 100%...

    Good question. Hands down: Sexier naked. I don't care about the rest of the stuff (... how much I can do this or that ... or how long ...) It's all about the mirror.

    Got a Question: A new Planet Fitness just opened yesterday right down the road. So I am going to shift my focus away from cardio ... and start focusing on weight lifting. Anyway ... I find that I do MUCH better ... where exercise is concerned ... when I do it EVERY day. For me ... one day...

    Which Pricing Model Do You Like Better ...?

    MARKETING 
    What got me thinking about this (btw) was a product I bought last year. I paid $37.00 ... for the basic service ... then was offered an upgrade at $9.99 per month. I said no ... and then was immediately offered the same upgrade for $4.95 per month ... as long as I don't cancel. I took it...

    Failing Business: Check. 25k Credit Card Debt: Check.

    FAILURE 
    No ... can't say I've ever seen that. A creditor "could" get a "charging lien" ... if you are running an incorporated business ... ordering the business owner to fork over a percentage of profits ... but that is about as close as you would likely get to something like that. Typically a state...

    Failing Business: Check. 25k Credit Card Debt: Check.

    FAILURE 
    Well ... by my math ... 15% - 25% of the principal ... sure as heck beats 100% of the principal plus 23% APR. These two options ... pay a little vs. pay a lot ... are not even close on the "annoying" scale. I'd take Option #1.

    The solution is simple. File a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. It's your "Get out of debt free" card. Use it. That is what I would tell you to do if you walked into my law office. $1500.00 in legal fees ... and just like that ... zero debt. The alternative is ... struggle with out of control...
