Skill Mastery Takes 7 Years and 10,000 Hours

Mikael — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 09:14:36 +0000

Have you made a habit out of listening to motivational and personal development talks and lectures yet? What about reading books on personal development and achievement as well as biographies of people that have accomplished great things in their lives? If you answer is “no” then you REALLY need to start making this into a habit ASAP. If you haven’t even considered listening and reading material like this I can only encourage you to stop reading this post right now and go pick up your first book or CD. But enough “call to action” What I really wanted to talk to you about is something I re-learned from listening to a 2004 Jim Rohn leadership event training. In that training, one of the speakers is the well known Denis Waitley and... Read more

Should a Child Spend The Whole Dollar?

Mikael — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 19:51:06 +0000

Listening to Jim Rohn is something that I do on a regular basis in order to get my head strait. Life happens to all of us and sometimes we all need a reminder of when, why and what to keep our focus on. Luckily I have learned to get my head strait prior to anything negative happening (in most cases) by listening to people like Jim and Tony Robbins. BTW, if you didn’t see the interview that Tony had with Frank Kern and John Reese, you should go check it out. But back to the story… When I was listening to Jim’s audio program “Challenge To Succeed” I stopped at a passage where he talks about children and money. Since this blog is all about being able to retire rich and retire early I think this is a very important topic as it all st... Read more

If You Don’t Know Jim Rohn You Are Missing Out

Mikael — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 20:21:42 +0000

I’m sure you have heard that personal development is important and you might already be spending your time and money developing your personality and refining your philosophy so that you can become the kind of person you would like to become. If you’re not already working on it I would like to recommend a place where you can start out for free. My first encounter with the “world of personal development” was through the MLM Company I was working with at the time. The founder of the company was a long time friend of the great business philosopher and internationally renowned speaker Jim Rohn so naturally we were very lucky to get some extraordinary training sessions. Ever since I was exposed to his audios, books and seminars I have bee... Read more

Pick Your Peer Group to Retire Rich

Mikael — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 18:21:45 +0000

Have you ever considered the fact that your limited success might be caused by the group of friends that you have and that by replacing the friends with another group you can literally change your financial destiny? Now don’t get me wrong. When I first learned about this fact I was stunned and very resentful of the fact that the people I call my friends might actually be holding me back and limiting my chances of financial success and the likelihood of me making a lot of money. Despite the fact that I didn’t like the sound of this “wisdom” I have also learned that even though you might not believe in something or agree with something, you should always listen and evaluate the message as keeping an open mind can sometimes lead to gre...

Why You Need a Financial Planning Course

Mikael — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 21:40:44 +0000

The latest post I wrote turned into quite a bit of a discussion or rather a conversation since we all agreed that you need to take personal responsibility for what happens in your life. The post was about retirement investing but it might as well have been about financial planning. All in all it is the same thing because to achieve anything significant you will need to plan carefully as well as act and follow through. Whether we want to become wealthy or just financially secure there is no way around the planning and preparation part. The process (and it IS a process) consists of a lot of different parts that works together but one of the vital aspects is the educational part. Whatever we do in life we will need some kind of training or ed... Read more

To Retire Early You Will Have to Keep Focus

Mikael — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 19:00:28 +0000

Being able to retire early from your job or from the work that you are currently doing is a dream for a great deal of people. Not having to get up in the morning and not having to go to work for someone else is seen on more and more people’s wish lists. Even people that are self-employed or own their own company and run it like its president or CEO can have this feeling of wanting to be “free” and not being tied down in a situation where someone or something requires them to do something. Unfortunately for the majority of people this dream will forever remain a dream and retirement will come when they hit the age where the laws tell them that it is time to retire. In some cases retirement will come earlier than that and especially in ... Read more

Like most people reading this blog you are probably looking for a way to make more money than you are currently making. Some of you might want to become very rich and some are just looking for an extra monthly income that will help pay the bills or make room for some fun like traveling or purchasing some extra goods without having to think about every penny you spend.

Ask For Help – But Be Ready To Take It When It Comes

Mikael — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:55:54 +0000

From time to time I receive emails from people asking me all kinds of questions (mostly Internet marketing related) and I have to admit that I actually enjoy getting these kinds of emails and I love helping people move forward in any way I can. All through my time online I have been able to find people that have been willing to help me move forward in my online business and to this day I am still asking a lot of questions to the people that have gone before me. Naturally I am not asking the same questions over and over but instead some new questions that will help me get from where I am currently at toward where I would like to go. Asking the right questions to the right people is one of the keys to making faster progress online and if you ... Read more

Are You Keeping Yourself From Being Successful Online?

Mikael — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 16:15:12 +0000

Today I want to talk about a subject that I had been struggling with for years when I started out online but over time I have come to avoid doing the things that would keep me from becoming successful. In the free 9 Money Making Mistakes report I talk about a lot of these things in depth but for now I would just like to take one of them and elaborate a little on it because it was when I once read what someone else has written that I realized that I was doing that very same thing to myself. But first please answer me this question: Are you at the point in your online business where you are making the amount of money you want, have the lifestyle and free time you want? For most people trying to make money online the answer to that question i... Read more
