Rid Yourself Of Money Worries
I just returned home from a visit with two friends who have worked night and day on a dream. The expenses have drained them financially. A state code inspector left their building about two hours ago and he was one of those people who has no flexibility - "The code's the code, that's what I enforce, the code" - and several stipulations he's enforcing are downright stupid and very expensive. He doesn't care. He gets his paycheck. My friends are down to their last few thousand

Is The Law Of Attraction Really A Law?
Is the Law of Attraction a Law? To answer, let's define the Law of Attraction. "I attract to my life whatever I give my attention, energy and focus to, whether positive or negative," says Michael J. Losier in his book Law of Attraction, The Science of Attracting More of What You Want and Less of What You Don't.nn"We speak learnedly of the Law of Gravitation, but ignore that equally wonderful manifestation, The Law of Attraction in the Thought World," William Walker Atkinson w

The Best Male Music Vocalist You've Likely Never Heard Of
This is the story of a truly great singer, a “crooner” from the 1920’s, whose music I would hope, after I tell you about him, you will say “I’ve got to hear his recordings, especially if he’s as great as the guy writing this article says he is.” My view, a prejudiced one, is that he is the best forgotten male singer who ever sang with a big band orchestra. It’s also the story of the invisible threads of “coincidence”

Dollars Want Me!
The year? 1903. The Wright Brothers' new "contraption" actually flies for a few seconds at Kitty Hawk. Henry Harrison Brown's essay, "Dollars Want Me: The New Road to Opulence" is published in NOW, A Journal of Affirmation," and becomes a bit of a sensation. The reason? I suspect the title "Dollars Want Me" was, for many, proposed a new way of thinking about money. "I want money," "I need more money," "There's not enough money coming in to make ends meet," is what we commonly

How To Make Money
nI just finished, out of curiosity, looking up how to make money on the web. Make money investing in real estate, business ideas that will make money for you, money making ideas, easy ways to make money, ways to get rich, ways to make money fast, and yes I even saw “get paid to surf.” Notice I didn’t mention “make money in MLM’s,” because it appears to me you have to get in at the beginning, usually, to make some money; those who come in la

Self Growth Made Easy
Long before I heard the phrase self growth or self improvement, I was trying, as a teenager, to better myself, to improve my prospects in life. One day, thanks to a churlish English teacher of mine, the answer was given to me out of the blue. I'd like to share it with you the answer that changed my life.nnn“It is told of Balzac, the great French author,” Sidney Greenberg writes in his book Treasury of the Art of Living, “that he once spent a long and unrewar

Making Public Speaking Enjoyable
The incident is still as real in my mind as it was the day I saw it happen when I was a eleventh grader. Public speaking class. We were to give a three to five minute speech about ourselves. They were OK, nothing to get excited about, and then Byron R.’s turn came. Since that April spring day I’ve heard many speeches, but I’ve never seen anyone as nervous as Byron, which was surprising to all of us because he was one of the school tough guys, or so we though
