    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    I think part of the problem is when people start to take a relationship as a business proposal and that's as someone who is absolutely terrified at the prospect of marriage and the related exposure, despite having no doubts about my partner. Human emotions are NOT a predictable science. You...

    I'm leaving

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Been at a place of hating my job, most of my life (which thinking about it, was my job!) And felt trapped. Applied for an opportunity on the other side of the world, had three weeks to sell everything I owned or get it stored somewhere and get on a plane with $2k to last me. Turns out It was...

    'change' starts with an event. Events only take a moment.

    MINDSET 
    I do agree with that and I suppose bad probably would have read more with the tone I meant it in as ''bad''. I do believe that everything that happens is merely an occasion and it's what you do with that occasion ie what perspective you approach it with that dictates whether it really is 'good'...

    What's stopping you?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    So, I didn't want to post until 'something' changed, and today something has so wanted to stop by and thank you for some simple but effective guidance. I tried to put it into practice, focused on one advertising stream and focused on fixing the issue that meant that variations of my products...

    'change' starts with an event. Events only take a moment.

    MINDSET 
    Apologies if this is in the wrong section.. Change isn't always instantaneous, but It only takes one event to start the process of change. An event occurs in just a second. It's not a huge event in this instance, which I'm sure many on here have had several of; but I thought I'd share as it's...

    The Finality Of Life

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Sorry to hear of your loss of a friend Vigilante, I am in a similar position with my father and it's a strange process but at the best it leaves time for appreciation. He sounds like a hell of a guy

    Niche sorted - how do I choose from hundreds of products?

    Without knowing the niche, the only thing I'd be wary of with that is that it depends why it is being discontinued - if it thereis something 'better' or more cost effective then you could be pouring cement in your own boots, unless you can get it at a knockdown price. But being the monopoly...

    Because I Can

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    And do you know know what? Because of this forum and the people within it, for the first time in life I genuinely believe that and see it as more of an inevitability than a possibility.

    Light vs. Dark -Thoughts On Controlling Emotions

    MINDSET 
    I think you've raised two contrasting reactions there (in my opinion). I think it's important to realise the difference in 'letting go of what you can't change' and accepting it. I think the former is inadvertently trying to push it out, ignore it, it doesn't exist, it doesn't matter, 'toughen...

    Light vs. Dark -Thoughts On Controlling Emotions

    MINDSET 
    I live my life by a simple rule. Acceot the things I cannot change, Change the things I can and know the difference. It was my gran's favourite saying from the serenity prayer, and I'm in no way religious but over the years I've come to find that in any given situation it slows things down and...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    thanks for that and while I'm at it the thread in general. reading some of the other replies has been indirectly real helpful :) So from the sheer purpose of driving conversions you think like chasing is wasted effort? Find it hard to gaige the link between credibility, rep and conversions and...

    What was your biggest business and life lesson in 2014?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Both my business and life lessons are the same. Have the Courage to change things that can be changed, have the Serenity to accept the things that can't be changed, have the wisdom to know the difference. and just generally learning that one action is worth a million what ifs, whatever the goal...

    Sorry -thought I had responded but with the internet as slow as it is here it must have timed out! Funnily enough I had started toying with the idea of Facebook marketing when stuck in Denpansar airport a few days before reading your post, so after reading it I decided to start experimenting. I...

    Can business and love mix?

    PEOPLE 
    Thanks all for the responses. All part of why I love this place! Great food for thought and as I started digesting and replying to these posts, the more I was leaning to the decision that it wouldn't be conducive to involve her. Apologies for the ramblefest! Thanks v much for that MJ. Would...

    Can business and love mix?

    PEOPLE 
    So I've read the 'what to do if your partner is a slowlaner' thread, but I'd like to hear from people who have partners who are supportive of their ambitions? And to what degree, ie does anyone out there actively work with their partners? It's a strange one for me. I haven't been with my...
