Learning to make money doesn’t have to cost you money.  Unfortunately, it often does because in your quest, you come across all sorts of people who will just compile a bunch of information that is available free on the internet and put it all together into their e-book and sell it to you.  The problem with that is that many of them have not tried any of the techniques they give you, so they don’t really know if they works.  But they have heard that selling e-books works.

Think and Grow Rich Action Summary is a free e-book, where I have highlighted in red the actions that Napolean Hill gave as part of the process in his book Think and Grow Rich.  The entire book is available as a free download, and in red are all the “actions” he instructs you to do for success. Every time without fail that I work this process, it works for me.  The degree of my success in each instance is directly related to the degree of my focus and daily practice of the techniques. Note:  The actions alone are not sufficient for success.  In reading the book, there is a definite progression of thoughts building one upon the next.  There is a psychological reason for the language, and sometimes absence of language.  So reading the words in red alone will not give you the entire insight that reading the book will, and indeed you may miss the best part. Having said that, even if all you read are the lines in red, your world can change literally overnight.  Really.  And it didn’t cost you a thing.

Using The Secret For Successful Marketing: How the Law of Attraction Can Bring You More Business

You know how when you walk along the beach at sunset or sunrise, the line of the sunlight seems to follow you wherever you go.  The same with the light of the full moon.  If there was a line of people all holding hands 20 miles long along the beach and all all looking out at the sun, the line of the sunlight would seem to each one that it is directly across from them.  Is that just an optical illusion, or does the Light really follow us everywhere we go?

Dating in the Dark. In this 2009 reality show, three men and three women are matched via a compatibility profile, chosen to live in a house and take part in various dates, which all take place in complete darkness.  Both parties interact sight unseen, judging each other by personality alone. Cameras catch all the action using night-vision technology. At the end of each episode, contestants get a chance to see each other in the flesh.  Without the other seeing their reaction.  Sweet. After that, they can decide whether to meet their partner on the balcony, signalling a yes, they want to know them better!  Or they can opt to slink out the front door and get away without talking about it (snap!)

Cast of NYC Prep

I’ve been watching the Bravo TV reality show NYC Prep, where the cameras follow 4 teen girls and 2 teen guys through their teen life.  You’ve got Taylor, Sebastian, PC, Jessie, Camille and Kelli, an unlikely mix of public school and private school kids in New York City.  A hilarious and right on review is here.  PC and Jessie, both 17, are prep school kids who used to date, then parted ways, now reconnect for the show as bffs.  With all the arrogance and ignorance of youth, PC and Jessie act condescendingly toward the others, continually making remarks about immature children.  Yeah, I know. The cliffhanger last week was PC and Jessie at dinner concocting their plan to take on – as a charity project – the sweet, quiet, drop dead gorgeous and doesn’t know it, 15 year old Taylor, the only public school kid among the group.  Jessie, the plain one with no real personality, definitely does not like the idea of PC being anywhere near any of these girls.  Every scene with her and PC is edited to make her look as though she’s mooning over him. Half of PC’s scenes are edited to make you think he might be gay or bi (stay tuned).  Sebastian, 16, is another snob, this one with no real cerebral capacity, he relies on his looks to keeps the girls interested.  His attempts at conversation are like his dancing: awkward, halting, spasmodic.  I grew up with a brother who did the hair flip motion, constantly flipping his hair out of his eyes.  The girls eat that up.  But dude, develop a personality.

I think I am figuring it out. I wrote earlier at Online Dating and Hot Singles about a dozen + friends I have on the different online dating services.  They report to me all their adventures and it’s a great peek inside the dating life.  I love it when I can see enough of the same thing going on that the patterns start to emerge.  I am never surprised by someone’s kinks and pecadillos, no matter how conservative they may outwardly appear.  I learned, working for criminal defense attorneys for 22 years, that people are seldom who they seem to be.  I’m never surprised to learn the person I thought I knew for 30 years was either the secret philanthropist or the serial killer.  And we see this in movies all the time: the pretty, sweet young thang is attracted to the bad boys.   Some of my buddies are very conservative looking and acting, intelligent, successful women who are spiritual seekers, yet they have a definite wild side and like the drama.  Why is that?

I just watched the pilot show for Drop Dead Diva.  The series revolves around a confident but superficial blonde model named Deb Dobson, who is killed in a car crash. As her soul enters the pearly gates, she begs for a chance to return to Earth, gets her wish, only to be bought back to life in the body of a recently-deceased, smart, plus-size lawyer named Jane Bingum.  Jane has always lived in the shadow of her prettier colleagues, whereas Deb has always relied on her external beauty. Now, by a twist of fate, Deb must learn to deal with inhabitating Jane’s chubby bod.  The plot has been described as a cross between Freaky Friday and Heaven Can Wait. Brooke Elliott is Jane, and Margaret Cho is glowingly understated as her gal Friday – so much so that I was not sure it was Cho until I looked it up.  Cho blogs about the show here.

Well, I finally got enough final layout work done for the next Horizons Magazine last night that I know it will be on time.  Actually, I’m typing this at 3:30am and I’ve just returned from a walk in my little patch of woods here.  I love being up in the wee hours and sitting in my woods at midnight.  No matter how frazzled I get doing my work, it always unwinds and relaxes me to take a walk outside and be surrounded by Nature. Of course, this is Florida in the summertime, so I treat it like stepping outdoors in any subtropical climate: insect repellent, sturdy jeans and boots.  My nights of stepping outside for a walk barefoot in my nightgown ended about the second time I was chewed up by misquitoes, got a tick and stepped in raccoon scat.  Continue reading →

I don’t feel very organized today so I won’t try to be coherent or motivating.  I’ll just talk.  I’ve let myself get behind this week in final layout for the August Horizons Magazine.   I get behind by goofing off when I should be working.  But I know that goofing off is essential to me being able to work efficiently, so I can’t really beat myself up for goofing off.  It’s part of the process and I’ve learned to factor it in.  Like when I am flustered after taking 23 phone calls in a row and then decide to chat with a friend on the phone about nothing for an hour.  Oh, that’s what I can talk about.  Well, actually it’s a story example of vibrational matching.
