A Grand Experiment Shifts Gear …


I can’t say that it’s the end, but the ‘grand experiment’ is shifting gear: we are moving to the Share Your Number Community site, after all
I ummed and aahed about it, but three sites is one too many to maintain. So, bookmark this page and come and visit us often!
Oh, and feel free [...]

Will it do the job?


As we head into the July 4th holiday weekend it’s an opportune time [AJC: did you think I was just going to let you sit on your deck watching the fireworks when there's serious millionaire-making to be done?! ] to consider your journey: assessing whether the ad that you have placed on [...]

Playing in the sandpit …


This is one of our last structured exercises …
… soon, our paths to our Number will begin to diverge and we won’t be able to neatly keep every one of the 7 Millionaires … In Training! – and, our readers – on exactly the same path.
Right now, though, we have one of the most important [...]

Under the spotlight: Scott


As Josh found out I like to put our 7 Millionaires … In Training! under the virtual ’spotlight’ when they have an issue, question or decision of note. It doesn’t mean that there’s anything wrong, it just might mean an opportunity to examine their current strategy with all of our readers … you [...]

Liftoff!


Liftoff!

Well, as I mentioned before, we actually lifted off before we reached the launch pad …. ooops

Josh is the lucky first participant, [...]

Making Money 201?


Making Money 201?

I now realize that I was a little premature running the photo of the space shuttle actually launching off the pad; where we’ve really been until now is back at the Launch Control Center making sure that we are all prepared for the flight: suits [check]; oxygen [check]; flight training [check]; flight physicals [...]

The 'No Budget Budget'


The ‘No Budget Budget’

I asked our 7MITs to try the little ‘expense recording’ experiment that I just wrote about today on 7million7years.com … I’ll let you click this link to read it over there …
Suffice it to say, that I really found this process to be ‘eye opening’ when I stumbled upon it a few [...]

Making Money 101?


Making Money 101?

Of course, what we’ve been doing over the last few weeks is quietly reviewing the ‘financial picture’ for each of our 7MITs … I hope that you have taken the opportunity to do the same?
Perhaps your financial picture overlaps in part with one or more of the 7 Millionaires … In Training! and [...]

Going For Launch …


Going For Launch …
I would like to open one of the most important discussions that we will have on this site; it starts by summarizing from your Networth IQ profile (you do have one, don’t you?!) the following numbers:
i) Income Statement (actually, this isn’t even in the NWiQ!):
- Your current AFTER TAX income (include spouses/partners, [...]
