Perspectives: Your Relationship With Money

If you know you were born to be successful, rich and fulfilled ...
If you have an inkling of wanting more from your money ...

Read this short piece. I believe we all possess the brilliance to achieve
our deepest desires.
Good day!
Or is it? What have you been thinking about today? What have you done?
Is a majority of your thoughts and actions aligned with what you say you

want? Do you find you react rather than being pro-active?
So much of the time we say we want to have more money or have better habits with it. Then life gets in the way and we start thinking, stressing, and
creating good intentions. Some of us actually create a plan and start following it. Then what?
Time is like money. We're either spending it or investing it. How are you
using it? Is yours working for you or you for it?

I recently co-led a workshop, "The Next Step to Wealth." We had the
participants look at how they spent a typical day in relationship to money.
From the time you wake up in the morning 'til bedtime, what are you doing
and thinking? You are usually doing one of the following:
• Worrying about money
• Spending it
• Working for it
• Planning what to do with it
• Avoiding it
• Denying it's impact on you
• Being creative with it
• Investing it to make more $ for you

Or do you forget about it?

It's important to be conscious about your practice with money. Whatever
you currently do is what you practice. If you want to practice something
new, you have to know what you want as a result. Practicing takes
practice. Taking small consistent steps is great! Give yourself some
space and time to make the changes. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just
enough to make you feel like you're moving towards the target. What
resources and support do you need to start your new practice or expand on
your current ones.

Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
Making Money in 2011 - Hello forum members! As we draw closer to the new year I thought it would be appropriate to change the title of our forum category "Making Money in 2010" to "Making Money in 2011" - I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions and wish everyone a prosperous New Year!
QuickBooks vs. Microsoft Money vs....? - I have always used Microsoft Money to run my business - accounting, invoicing, etc. It came with my computer when I got it and integrated well with my online banking system so everything is a breeze. It only takes 30-60 minutes every quarter to do the bookkeeping (keep in mind that I have a very simple business - no inventory, very little invoicing, I do all my payments by credit card, etc). Is QuickBooks or Money the best accounting tool for small business owners? Or is there something even better?
Removal of Director paperwork - Hello I have to remove a director from my company, does anyone know where I can find director termination paperwork, and paperwork to terminate officer status in a corporation. Also, I am looking for information on the legality of diluting existing shareholders shares when I have the controlling block. Relationship with business partner went sour. Regards, Peter
Re: What or Who Sparks Your Business Interest - It's interesting to see what the different motivations are by Age Category. I've noticed this around me: 20 to 29yr olds: Motivator: Money 30 to 39yr olds: Motivator: Success/Ambition 40 to 49yr olds: Motivator: Family comes first 50 to 59yr olds: Motivator: Leaving a legacy i've only gone that far in my analysis. Of course this is a braid generalization but I find that it helps direct my marketing to individuals in different age brackets. The product/service can be the same but the Marketing message (Benefit Statement) to a 20 year will revolve around "Money" vs. a 30-something would be on their "Self Image"
