EAS-y Do


EAS-y Do I understand the first line of Diane’s post, but I am intrigued by the title (not the mention, the XXXXXXX’s) … Diane laid out her table for her earn/spend/ability/do really neatly … it’s easy to see where the commonalities lie (e.g. writing) … I hope that this helps you, and in return you […]

Gone Fishing!

Baggage Inspection


Baggage Inspection Hmmm … one of my challenges will be working out how to help a 60 year old ‘semi retired’ preacher find his way through the income, debt, and investment mazes.

All Aboard! Well, I guess it seems my bags are packed, I’ve got my map together, my trusty compass. I have my destination in sight and have pretty well chosen my means of travel. I even have a pretty accurate arrival time! What next before departure? I guess it would help to know where I […]

An End… But Not Really A Goodbye


An End… But Not Really A Goodbye As you read in Adrian’s post yesterday about the ‘secret’ book project,  I have accepted (and am totally honored by!!!) his invitation to co-author his book.  So, we had to play by the rules set forth from the start (The 7 Golden Rules) and so this is the […]

A 'secret' book project …


A ‘secret’ book project … When I launched this site – and, found the 6 Millionaires … In Training! – I made sure that everybody who applied knew that I had a book or two in the off’ing … The work we are doing here will the subject of at least two books: one now, […]
