Paradise Island: 7 Vital Aspects Of A Respectable Online Business

Recently I had a dream that I was once again on my wealthy uncle’s sensational yacht, way out in the center of a vast ocean, all-alone, and feeling incredibly tiny and vulnerable. There were no winds to fill the sails of the 75-foot, luxurious trimaran, and there was nothing but water stretching to the horizon in all directions. Success would be to find an island of paradise, or to be spotted and rescued in the shipping lanes. But alas, I was stranded, out of food and fresh water, and large sharks were now circling ever closer.  Read more... (896 words, 5 images, estimated 3:35 mins reading time)

Financial Abundance: 5 Factors

As an “Abundant Life Coach” I get asked about the meaning of “financial abundance” very often. What this means to you can be the difference between living the lifestyle of your dreams, or settling for something less than your dreams. I want you to live the life of your dreams!

Here, then, are the main 5 Factors of Financial Abundance:

“The Abundant Mindset”

Thousands upon thousands of books, articles, media, programs, and so much more have been produced that discuss the awesome power of our minds, and the influence of our thinking upon our lives. It is difficult to say enough or emphasize enough that truth. As I see it, we are exactly as we think.  Read more... (723 words, 5 images, estimated 2:54 mins reading time)

Pay Dirt: 7 Important Concepts To Understand About Money

In my lower-middle-class youth, I was raised to discuss money almost never; money was mostly to be associated with all the evils of the world. As a result of my childhood, I came to hold internal conflicting messages about having money, which made it tough to go out into the world and build abundance.

As I reach the age of fifty, my money intelligence has evolved, of course. I no longer regard money as evil. Just as a gun becomes evil in the wrong hands, so it is with money. How we go about earning it, keeping it, and using it is what truly counts in the end run. Now that may sound elementary, but the implications are many.  Read more...

Aside From Honesty: 7 Vows To Being Happily Married

Despite all the millions of articles, studies, advice, and other “stuff”, it is not rocket science; staying happily married is much easier when you are true to the 7 vows I will share with you. And I warn you: if you see yourself failing in any of these 7 vows, you either have intensive work to do, or you should not be married! I will add that the success of the traditional vows we take on the day we marry – each of those vows – are made possible by these 7 vows.  Read more...

5 Steps to the Best Idea You Have Ever Had

I love to get movie DVDs that have an additional disc of just special features! Last night I watched all the documentaries about Howard Hughes, from the DVD “The Aviator”. The special features almost always contain tidbits of this idea or that idea that went into making the film. So often these features are inspiring and are just one place to trigger ideas of my own.  Read more... (666 words, 5 images, estimated 2:40 mins reading time)

The 6 “Must Know” Steps to Lifetime Success and Abundance

So much has been written about success. So many success programs, books, CDs, and other media exist on the subject. A Google search (06.29.10) on the keyword “success” returns over 335-million results.

The term is like one tiny star in the cosmos.

I think it’s safe to say that ‘success’ is/has been an over-used word throughout our human world and throughout (recorded) history.

It’s also fair to say that success means something different for each and every person, and yet most would agree that a simple and accurate definition might be: to obtain a desired result (or set of results).  Read more... (1208 words, 5 images, estimated 4:50 mins reading time)

The Sex of Success

Human beings are historically mixed-up, embarrassed, ignorant, and hypocritical about sexuality. So many people have noted, for example, on national network television that we will show much more graphic violence than we will graphic sex, although the boundaries are continually more and more blurred. The taboos, customs, and traditions surrounding sexual matters have evolved and changed drastically from culture to culture and millennia to millennia. What was against the rules at one time is no longer.  Read more... (356 words, 5 images, estimated 1:25 mins reading time)
