    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    CHAT 
    The art business: Last night I finished up a series of graphics I’m calling “Grandma Says:”. It’s a collection of old truisms that we hear all the time. I don’t know if they will sell, but the investment is some of my time to collect and format them -- and a few supplies. I have 2 sheets of...

    Are You ADDICTED to Reading?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Some people do drugs or play video games to escape a painful life. Others cut themselves or commit suicide. I had a very painful childhood. My reading was my escape. As an adult, all that reading has put me light years ahead of the people around me. I have a wealth of knowledge they just don't...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    CHAT 
    I'm trying to get the bookkeeping down to an average of an hour or two per day. It's a tough job with all my rentals and different businesses. I've been paperless for years and I have good equipment to help me with the tasks. I've tried hiring people to do that job, but then I must check...

    What's your Lambo? (What are you working for?)

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    I'm older than you, but I have found the same truths. The things that were important when I was young don't mean much anymore. I have become a minimalist in most areas of my life. My direction is toward helping the people around me. My bragging rights are helping them to find their successes. My...

    What Is the Online Equivalent of a "Boring But Stable" Offline Business?

    HOT! 
    Many years ago when my disabled, adopted son was young, I hired him a tutor. That tutor was wonderful. He also talked me into going back to college for a graduate degree. I was in my early 40s and I ended up going to law school where I got a BSL and a JD. That tutor changed my whole life. I...

    What Is the Online Equivalent of a "Boring But Stable" Offline Business?

    HOT! 
    I knew a guy who had a van and the right driver's license. During our fishing season here in Alaska, he picked up fishermen and delivered them with their fishing gear to the river. He would show up with their favorite coffee and pastry -- which he sold at a profit and transport them every day...

    What would you tell your 18 or 25 year old self?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I think of it a little bit differently. I haven't found money (being rich) to be the answer. You can be totally right and still flatly fail. `I have found that it is better to be in rhythm with the Universe than to be right. I listen for its heartbeat and march to that cadence. I rarely say I'm...

    Your "it" will change over time. Allow your plan to morph and change as you do.

    Thx. I've had a life of work and service to the people around me. Yes, it has been worth the effort.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I don't believe that. I grew up poor. My Dad had a talent. He bought houses with no heat or indoor bathrooms. Yes, he eventually built the indoor bathroom. But, they didn't have heat in the last house until I was grown and gone. I decided when I was a kid, and could see my breath in the morning...

    New Business I'm working on a new business for the last couple of weeks. I feel like I'm crazy and too old to start something new. BUT, this is just for the fun of it. I'm using art I did 30 years ago for the basic graphics, and starting it all again. I've spent two weeks sitting at my...

    The war against your self esteem

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I'm not sure that happiness, success, achievement & fulfillment are "natural" and a "right." I think it's more of a pursuit. I am sure that achieving a huge life-long goal isn't the experience that most people think it will be. The day after you hit that mark, you will get up and put your pants...
