Yvonne had been trying to get me to pay attention to Mike Maloney for some time – and failing! However, as luck would have it, on Wednesday last week 16th November she finally sent me something which caught my eye. Mike Maloney is one of Rich Dad’s Advisors and he’s written the book called Rich Dad’s Guide To Investing in Gold & Silver: Protect Your Financial Future. This is the link she shared from which I discovered that Mike was speaking in the UK with Max Keiser that very upcoming weekend and it seemed too good an opportunity to miss, [...]
“Most Entrepreneurs Are Driven By Self-Doubt”: Sir Tom Hunter
Dragon Peter Jones made an excellent attempt last night, where many have gone before, to discover whether the personality traits of one entrepreneur have anything in common with another. Mr Jones was comparing and contrasting Michelle Mone of MJM International, the makers of Ultimo bras, with Richard Reed one of the three founders of Innocent Drinks. I like Peter Jones, he’s easy on the eye and I much prefer the programmes where we get to see him being chauffeur driven and flying in private jets to the tedious Dragons’ Den itself which, to my mind, does not showcase entrepreneurs very [...]
My Favourite Song About Money. What’s Yours?
I’ve just passed a peaceful half hour cruising round YouTube looking at lots of songs about money. This has been done a million times before, but I thought it would be fabulous for a while to dwell in money songs and try and work out what’s my favourite. It’s an impossible task. Do you pick it for the lyrics, or the feelgood? I’ve tried to come up with the best combo I could. Songs I have looked at and rejected for my top spot – in no particular order - include Price Tag by Jessie J, Rich Girl by Hall & [...]
A Pleasing Definition of Success by Coach Wooden
Another bonus of my day out yesterday was being able to listen to Father Brian D’Arcy on Chris Evans’ radio show on BBCR2 in the morning in the little section towards the end called Pause for Thought. As I read somebody else say in the paper over the last few days, never mind two minutes silence on Remembrance Day, 11th November, how about a moment of silence every day? I couldn’t agree more and these little windows of opportunity to be thoughtful for a while are always welcome. Father Brian D’Arcy, a Catholic priest, was in charge of yesterday’s PFT [...]
Taking A Welcome Break And Making A Profit
I drove up the M11 yesterday morning, to visit a client I’ve known and loved forever, but I’d never been to see her place of work before. I don’t get out much these days in my peaceful gap year, and en route I passed the new Olympic Park and was totally, utterly amazed and delighted by it. It was an OMG moment as it loomed up at me, out of the fog. As I was running a bit early, I stopped at a service station to check my emails and use their loo. When I came out of the loo, [...]
Hooray! I Can Walk On The Grass – At Last
I was born a rebel. One of the strongest urges I feel all the time is to rebel. If I wanted to overcome that urge, and I don’t very often, I would have to either speak very sternly to myself, get angry, or just surrender to being normal like everyone else. Three not very nice choices. So usually I just rebel. Gentle Reader, I wish I could tell you I was proud of this. But I’m not; it’s just how it is round here. One of the expressions I use to explain how it feels to be me in this [...]
Debt: Most Of What We Fear Never Comes To Pass
Right now, in my Money-Making Magic group, we are having some very honest discussions with people making brave decisions about when the time is right to admit you can’t pay your debts and what happens when you relinquish your credit rating as you go into a debt management plan. And yesterday I posted this following message, in the spirit of optimism even thought it doesn’t necessarily read like that. One of our members suggested I might share it here on my blog for a wider audience. “Very rarely, over the years, but especially in the last say five or six [...]
Creativity: A Reason To Do Nothing
I am indebted to Karen Gilbert, Natural Skincare and Fragrance Expert, for sending me this quote today. She knew I would like it. It’s from a book called The Alchemy of Scent written by Jean-Claude Ellena who has created some of the world’s best-selling perfumes. J-C lives and works in Grasses, the French capital of perfume. “I am sorry to admit I have lost the gift of boredom. I write. I read. I garden. I paint. I cook. I vacuum. And although my subsidiary activities are more or less linked to perfumes (apart from vacuuming), I wish to pay tribute [...]
Good News For Savers: Best Rates with Smaller Building Societies
Good news for savers. Moving your money just got easier. Now you can shift your savings without the hassle. Have you heard of Governor? Me either until today. Just look at their really simple website which explains that all you have to do is open one account with them, and they will alert you to the best savings rates if you want to put your money on deposit for 1 year plus or three years or even four. And when you select one of their products with the smaller and lesser known building societies, you will not need to open up [...]
British Families Are £6,000 Worse Off Than 3 Months Ago
The Daily Mail reported on Saturday that British families are £6,000 worse off than three months ago. “Savers with large pension pots were the worst hit after the stock market collapsed in August. But soaring energy bills, dwindling house prices and the high cost of groceries have also taken their toll on households’ total wealth.” The third quarter of the year between June and September saw the biggest drop since reports beginning in 1997 by investment company Alliance Trust. Economic activity has slowed, there’s been a rise in unemployment, higher inflation causing higher basic goods prices and a loss of [...]
