Despite all the excuses people have, there is only one way to go broke. It’s always too much debt. Sometimes people have manageable debt until they lose their job and have a drop in income. Sometimes rising interest rates turn a manageable debt into an unmanageable one. Sometimes other life circumstances cause change to your debt load and ability to service it. My wife and I managed to work ourselves out of debt before we retired, and we managed to accumulate sufficient funds to be able to retire a year earlier than initially planned. It makes all the difference. Neither of my two brothers is in anything like our financial position despite my attempts to help them. There’s only so much you can do for people who cannot see the truth of what’s offered. I refuse to do anything for them until they take the first steps, but once they do that, I’ll be right there to help and guide them. It’s not going to happen, though, because they both think they know better. Comparing our current circumstances should be sufficient for them to see that what they’ve been doing isn’t working that well. It’s the same with my marketing. I’ll show you where to start, and you can then ask for as much help as you need. Regards, P.S. Here’s a dumb offer for you. You can ask me any questions you like about marketing via email three times a week for a year. I’ll reply to your emails within 24 hours and give you homework to do in those replies. The whole point of this is to progress your business and income, not to fill up my inbox. Find out more at https://nomad-productions.convertri.com/mentor.

Too many good ideas to focus on one.
Most people have hundreds of good ideas and talk themselves out of them. One of the biggest problems with those ideas is that we never complete any of them. We may start with enthusiasm, but it often doesn’t take more than one or two setbacks before the enthusiasm leaks out like air from a punctured tyre. Then it gets difficult to pump up that enthusiasm again. Anyway, there is that next great idea to work on so we can abandon that one with the flat tyre and move on. Looking back over my online career, I can see many wasted opportunities and incomplete projects. There are many courses that I haven’t completed, books not quite finished either read or written, websites with only a couple of posts, etc. That means that I’ve wasted hours of time and hundreds of dollars. Sure, I’ve had successes along the way, but I’m sure there would have been a few more if I’d been more focused at the right time. For example, one of my Twitter accounts has 5.886 followers, and my last tweet was May 6th 2014. At the time, I didn’t tweet regularly. The previous tweet was on April 3rd 2014, where I announced that I had deleted 2,499 inactive people. I had been more active before that but didn’t feel that I got much engagement there. Apparently Twitter is much more active now, so I will ramp that up again. That’s not my only Twitter account, but it is the biggest. Do you have any inactive accounts, unread or unwritten books, unfinished courses, dusty and cobweb-covered websites? Email me and tell me about them, I might be able to help you get them firing. Regards, P.S. If you don’t like to complete courses, don’t click this link. Is the average IQ dropping rapidly?
