"Make a Million While You’re still Young Enough to Enjoy It" by Peter Bielagus
I had the pleasure of listening to this young entrepreneur and writer speak at the last M2 Wealth Masters Int’l. Conference. He was energetic, humorous, wise for his years, and has a message for young adults (primarily college age) ….. HE speaks their "lingo". I purchased his book and after reading it this past weekend, I will be purchasing numerous others to give to the young adults in our lives for holiday gifts.
Like his speaking style, Peter discusses a variety of financial topics and breaks them down in simple language. Here are some general categories that he explains with examples that kids "will get": continue reading »

Are you one of the 20 plus million people who work from home?
Forbes estimates that 70 million more people will start a business in the next 5 years. Does this tell you something - that the possibilities are limitless for those who
pursue their own home business…..
To quote economic advisor Paul Zane Pilzer , author of the New York Times best seller, The Next Millionaires - entrepreneurship is on the rise. "Home-based businesses are one of the fastest growing segments in our economy, and that trend will only continue, as the age of the corporation now gives way to the age of the entrepreneur". He also says, "In today’s world, working for yourself or a small company is actually the safer route, and working for a large corporation has become the riskier proposition".

If you have previewed any of the videos I have completed and posted on YouTube , you know one of them addresses my difficulties with technology and the intuitiveness of it (or lack of)! I found this great little device that makes it easy though….. even for me! It’s called a Flip Ultra Camera - here are some of it’s benefits:
- It’s lightweight and fits into your pocket
- It uses a couple of batteries so never needs charging (60 minute play time)
- The speaker and photo quality is decent (not professional quality, but good)
- Built into the camera is a program which converts videos into the correct format for uploading to YouTube (my favorite feature!)
- It connects directly to your computer with the "Flip" of a switch (I would recommend the accessory cable though - it will make it easier)
PS - To make it easy for you to order…. you can use the info below or there is an Amazon icon / box to your left if you’d like something else. You can enter the product name and order it from there!
Please leave a comment about what you use for creating videos - love to hear from you
Until next time, J.

"Why We Want You to be Rich " is a New York Times best seller by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki . I was initially hesitate to read it because I didn’t think the two men could possibly come from the "same place" and work as a team. But their sub -title "Two Men - One Message" says it all…. they really did come across as a team.
I have found myself referencing comments and quotes frequently from this book, because their perspective and insight on world affairs and our economy is eye opening. They hit things right on the head such as the "entitlement mentality " I mention at times. Those people who expect their employers, families, or countries to take care of them. Both of these men are on a mission to help educate people in our society through "financial education "…. the only way to solve our countries money problems.
One of the quotes from the book, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."
I would encourage you to get a copy and read it for yourself . There are some good "How To’s" in the book in getting you started on the right path to educating yourself. Your future depends on you!
Please leave a comment about your thoughts on their perspective and if it got you "thinking"…
