Go Green, Live Rich

There are seven aspects to my personal success wheel: health & wellness, spirituality, job & career, intellectual & cultural pursuits, finances, deep relationships and, very importantly, giving back.

That's why I'm so pleased to share that financial guru David Bach is making a major contribution to the earth - and encouraging you to do the same - with his new book Go Green, Live Rich: 50 Simple Ways to Save the Earth (and Get Rich Trying). It is his passion project. His personal transformation to environmentalist began when he moved into a "green building." He stopped needing prescription drugs for his allergies, his son's asthma disappeared and they both slept better. He started educating himself on the environment and felt compelled to write this book.

Here's an insightful business tip from the "Go Green At Work" chapter:

"By telecommuting just two days per week, over the course of a year an employee will drive 3,000 fewer miles, save approximately $430 in gas and eliminate 3,120 pounds of CO2 emissions. The benefits to an employee include more flexibility, commuting money saved, less stress and overall increased satisfaction in his or her job. Employers can reduce office space, have less furniture, reduce operating expenses, and benefit from lower employee absenteeism, lower turnover and increased employee productivity."

How Quick is That - Just to let you know that as I'm not as sharp as I might be in the ftp sort of world, I had a problem today with uploading a new site. Hostgator 'Live Chat' fixed this for me in two minutes flat and didn't make me feel I was an idiot at all (at least anymore than I felt myself). As I'm in the UK and ringing early am for me here, I thought that 'Live Chat' might have been EST, so off for me, but no, they were there! BTW I'd spelt my nameservers slightly wrong - duh! Now that's what I call service. Regards.
Re: 10 ideas to make you money in 2010 - I think Education would be hard to break into. Baby Boomers, Life Support and Trading Down, however, seem like good markets. As for Green technology goes, I don't think the business has to be entirely based on Green ideologies, but rather a business that embrace Green philosophies and use that as a marketing tool.
Motivational Books for Entrepreneurs - Searched but did not find a comprehensive list of books for us entrepreneurs: Here are some of my favorites: Napoleon Hill - Think and Grow Rich The greatest secret in the world- Earl Nightingale...listen to it, then listen to it again.

Bristol How to Talk to Anyone - Leil Lowndes Get Smarter- Seymour Schulich What are yours?
Re: Are you a Blue, Red, or Green? - Hum... a lot of reds responding... Business owners must be a very aggressive community. Now, I was surprised when I took the course personally to find out I was a Green, secondary Blue. Of course, not believing this, the first thing I did was turn to those around me to get their opinions on my colours (typical Green!). The only thing I can really say about STRUCTOGRAM is that it was fun to explore the depths of my social and physiological make-up... I did this a over a year ago now and still use it in my daily interactions (always be on your toes with Reds).
