Episode # 61: Never Enough!
Do you quit when the going gets tough? Do you let the naysayers bring you down and tell you how bad the economy is?

When you see a mountain do you stop or do you climb? It's time to kill it, period. I am so f**ing tired of the negative dudes out there crying about the economy, about how busy they are, … [Read more...]

I think my investment made a … [Read more...]

Most of the info I tend to find accurate, effective and awe inspiring is at least a few decades old but this book has shocked me! All I can say is this: Holy s**t is this book rockin' my world! … [Read more...]
