Riach</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"> </p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong>I can't say enough about this Book, only by reading it for yourself will you truly understand what I mean.</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">The cost for the book is miniscule compared to the knowledge you'll obtain which is priceless and will last you a lifetime.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">I've read things in this Book that I haven't seen anywhere else. Some, who call themselves "Gurus", would charge an arm and leg for this information. But I beleive that this just shows the generousity of Tom, to share with his readers this invaluable information, because he really wants us to succeed in business and in life.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong>Valuable Lessons</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">The lessons Start from the Introduction and do not end until long after you close the Book. The First Book is titled "Freedom". Tom guides us through the lessons contained in the Book using his professional accomplishments and personal stories which, I believe that following them can lead to both financial and personal freedom.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">Because they cause you to look at situations from a different perspective.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">The only one who can determine you success or failure in anything is you. Tom's professional and personal stories along with those of his friends, and business assosciates helped me to reflect on my own personal goals and what could or could not be holding me back from going to the next step.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong>Chapter 4 "Do You Know Who You Are"</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">This Chapter, guides you in finding the answer to that question. There are people who know who they are. However, I would venture to guess, that many more don't for those this Chapter will help you to find the answer that question.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">There is an interview that ask a series of questions, for you to answer. I, myself, printed them out and wrote out my answers. And I enjoyed doing it plus I liked my answers.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong>Power-Points</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">Every chapter ends with a Power Point, Power Points are used throughout the Book. They give you a place for a quick day to day place to reference a solution to a problem you may encounter in any business dealing, or even personal situation.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">At the end all the PowerPoints are listed in a row. Reading them every day has been a great tool for me, to stay on track and practice lessons I've learned</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong>One of the most important lessons in the Book is to love what you do and have fun doing it.</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">I can't say enough about what the power of the lessons and Stories contained in the pages of "The Secret World Of Self Employment" has done for me in my own self employped journey.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">Last but not least is the Book is a page turner it's enjoyable to read, it's hard to put it down.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">This is my honest opinion based on what I've gotten from this investment. I know I will turn to this Book for ideas and guidance many times going forward. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">Thank you for reading,</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">Robin Robinson</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><a href="https://home-bizhelp.com/wp51/book-review-the-secret-world-of-self-employment/" target="_blank">For a more in-depth Review and link to the Book you can go here:</a></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><em>Follow your gut...do what you love...and you can't go wrong.</em></span></p><p> </p></div>Success is The Product of Refusing to Failhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/success-is-the-product-of-refusing-to-fail2018-11-14T12:30:00.000Z2018-11-14T12:30:00.000ZSusan Bostonhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/SusanBoston<div><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Success is The Product of Refusing to Fail</strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-751" src="http://www.pureleverage.com/susanbtx/wp-content/uploads/sites/99401/2018/11/not-an-option-300x300.jpg" alt="not an option" width="300" height="300" /></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>There is a reason these guys wear a mask it's because they are bandits pure and simple. Not only are they bandits they are GOOD bandits. These guys will not give up, they have not a clue what failure even is and they are so focused there is no way they can fail. We live in the country and seem to collect animals. The word is out in critter-ville if you show up the Boston's will feed you. We keep a bag of cat food on the back porch to feed the cats outside. We were keeping it in a nice plastic container with a tight lid, or so we thought. Suddenly the top of the container would be open every morning. My husband caught two of these masked bandits one morning when he took the pup out, they were in the feed. These two are huge! Then the battle began...</strong></span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>We made sure the top was secure, the next morning it was up again, then we shut it and put a gallon of windshield wash on top, the next morning it was open. Fine, we were NOT going to be outsmarted by a critter, so we actually put a two-wheel dolly on top of it. The next morning they had removed the dolly, opened the container and apparently ate their fill. Let me just say, "I can't even lift this thing!" Everything we have done has failed! Every problem we have put in front of them they have solved regardless. Their success is the product of them refusing to fail! </strong></span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Success is meeting problems head on figuring them out, not giving up ever and, when you do this your success will be the product of you refusing to fail. </strong></span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3818738380,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}3818738380,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="3818738380?profile=original" /></a></strong></span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Susan</strong></span></p></div>Ambition The Devils Toolhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/ambition-the-devils-tool2017-02-26T13:30:00.000Z2017-02-26T13:30:00.000ZSusan Bostonhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/SusanBoston<div><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3818735780,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}3818735780,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" width="750" alt="3818735780?profile=original" /></a></p> <div style="text-align:left;"> <p> <b><font size="5">Ambition did you ever really think of this word as a Devil's tool?

Teaching our children about <strong><a href="http://www.frugalsoldier.com/betterment" target="_blank">money lessons</a></strong> early in life will have a dramatic yet positive impact on so many areas of their life when they become adults.</p><p>If we as parents choose not to do so we will see those results play out also in our kid’s lives, as they more than likely will struggle with money issues for most if not all of their adult lives.</p><p>You can start out as early as the age of 7 teaching your kids their first financial lesson. This starts with something as simple as rewarding them with an allowance for doing perceived work around the house. This will teach them the importance that hard work renders pay. They also can learn how to best manage their allowance as time goes on and they get older.</p><p>Children are easy to teach at an early age and you will be surprised at how fast they comprehend things. I would like to share with you some of the significant lessons that children can learn from us relating to money.</p><p>Lesson No. 1:</p><p>Teaching them first about the value of money. There are studies that suggest that as early as 7 years old kids should be taught well about the value of money. Why? Studies indicate that if kids are taught at this very young and tender age they are more likely to be successful financially since adult money habits are dependent on what they have learned from their parents during the adolescent years.</p><p>Lesson No. 2:</p><p>Teach them about the value of <i>need over want</i>. Kids should be taught that it is important to spend money on things that are needed, than those being wanted. Teach them that if wants can be purchased responsibly after needs are met, then that is the mindset they should carry throughout their adulthood.</p><p>Lesson No. 3:</p><p>Teach them about the value of saving money. Saving money plays an important role in our daily life as well as our future. This is where our net worth is determined.</p><p>If we can empower children with the idea of saving money starting at a very early age and show them on paper how much they can have saved when they are our current age, we stand a chance to break the terrible detrimental financial cycle that many young adults find themselves in.</p><p>Lesson No. 4:</p><p>Let them learn from their own financial mistakes. This goes back to allowances. There will be times when you find that your kids will spend their money for something not necessary at all.</p><p>You may from time to time let them experience the consequence of irresponsible spending and then use that as a teaching tool so that they understand their way of viewing and spending money is not the right way.</p><p>By doing this, you allow them to learn from an early age the consequences of being irresponsible with money.</p><p>Lesson No. 5:</p><p>You have to become a role model. This means you have to lead by example when it comes to your finances. Kids are very perceptive and they watch everything their parents do and say trust me! Be willing to make effective choices financially so that your kids see what it takes to be financially responsible on a consistent basis. </p><p>All of these <strong><u><a href="http://www.frugalsoldier.com/betterment" target="_blank">money lessons</a></u></strong> should be taught to your kids as early as possible. You should understand that whatever seeds you plant now will be reaped in the future. Therefore, when you plant good seeds for your children as early as now, in their future you will see wonderful producing fruit financially.</p><p>So, what are some money lessons you have taught or plan to teach your kids? Please share your thoughts. </p></div>Why Dance Lessons are Good for your Hearthttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/why-dance-lessons-are-good-for-your-heart2014-08-22T01:06:26.000Z2014-08-22T01:06:26.000ZTimothy Ellerhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/TimothyEller<div><p><br /> But many people don't get much enjoyment from disciplined workouts.

Dancing allows you to get your heart pumping and your limbs moving without having to endure the monotony of exercising on a treadmill or at a <a href="http://skadoogle.com/sr%2127533/kwGym.10" target="_blank" title="Find more information on Gym, compliments of skaDoogle.com" style="border-bottom:1px dashed;border-top:1px dashed;font-variant:small-caps;font-weight:bolder;">Gym</a>. Dancing regularly keeping not only keeps ones heart healthy, it also helps maintain balance and coordination. Plus, of course, dance lessons and events let you get you out of the house regularly and make and meet friends.<br /> <br /> Local organizations, universities, community and, sometimes, churches hold dancing lessons and events that are open to people of all abilities and skill levels. If you haven't danced in awhile, or even if you've never tried it before, it's never too late to learn. Adding another skill to your list never hurts, and dancing is an ability that comes in handy mighty often. Dance lessons are typically offered by style (ballroom, folk, Latin, swing, et cetera) and ability level (beginner, intermediate, advanced, competitive). Most dances that you're probably familiar with fall into the category of "ballroom dancing."<br /> <br /> Ballroom dancing is performed with a partner (don't worry; there are typically a number of "singles" taking lessons. You'll be able to pair off when you go to the lesson). Everything from the internationally renowned waltz, to the classic American Foxtrot, to the Latin salsa and cha-cha, fall into the category of ballroom dance. <br /> <br /> Folk dancing typically refers to square dancing, contra dancing, or one of several Irish, Scottish, or English styles of dance. Folk dances can sometimes be more social than ballroom dances (since partners typically split up and join with others during the course of the dance). Other popular styles of dance include swing, Latin, traditional and many others. Feel free to explore.<br /> <br /> Books and videos can also be found online, if you just need a refresher, or would rather get the basics in the comfort of your own home.<br /> <br /> If you're looking for a great way to be heart-smart, stays fit, and meet new people, try dancing. Dance lessons allow us to try something new, exercise, and take part in a social activity all at the same time. Find a style that interests you, pick the appropriate skill level, find a place, and dance!</p><p></p><p>Timothy Eller<br /><br />Like us on Facebook<br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheHealthAndWellnessInsider">https://www.facebook.com/TheHealthAndWellnessInsider</a></p><p></p><div style="margin:5px 0px 0px;"><hr /><a href="http://skadoogle.com/sp%2127533/wnzrfn8755"><img src="http://ocmnet.com/tn/wnzrfn8755.jpg" style="float:left;margin-right:5px;" border="1" width="160" alt="wnzrfn8755.jpg" /></a> <b><a href="http://skadoogle.com/sp%2127533/wnzrfn8755" target="_blank" class="cbcat" style="font-family:verdana, arial;font-size:12px;">Swap Fat 4 Fit Transform Your Body</a></b><br /><font class="f10">The Perfect Home Workout Program For The Beginner To Fitness And Weight Los...
