I have recently moved house and enjoyably went through all the ‘stuff’ that I’ve amassed in the past four years and decide whether I really wanted it.
The mantra was quite simply – ‘Is it easily replaceable’
The amount of stuff I got rid of was unbelieveable! – Look at my other post about the ‘two year rule’ and it becomes quite obvious how it is so easy to become attached to ‘stuff’, sometimes for no reason at all.
The excuse of ‘My Aun’t Flo gave it to me as present’ just doesn’t work in todays changing society. What does a particular ‘thing’ really mean to you, and can you do without it?
Remember, you will certainly feel better when you have taken some of that old ‘stuff’ down to the tip and cleared a lovely space somewhere!
Happy clearing…and the saving money in storage solutions!

Well, it happens to all of us at some point in our lives – we have to store stuff away in one of those very popular companies who provide storage units.
Now then, how many of those things you have stored have been there for a year or more? – The simple conclusion here is – YOU DON’T NEED THEM! – get rid of them and also save yourself a wad of cash in the process, even more cash if you decide to sell the items on auction sites such as eBay.
As an outside, I give anything I own two years – If it hasn’t seen the light of day, it goes!
The other question you may ask yourself is ‘Is it easily replaceable?’ – In this modern consumerist world, a lot of our ‘stuff’ can so easily be replaced at low cost, so why store old versions of it at cost?
Something to think about eh?

I’ve just booked my tickets to go to this years World Internet Summit in London – This is a not to be missed event that spans four days at a hotel near Heathrow in London – www.heathrow.parkinn.co.uk
I went last year and was bowled over with the sheer amount of useful information to set you up as an internet marketer, or to get you selling on the internet.
Everything from Facebook stuff to You Tube, Social networking on a grand scale, ebay, ClickBank all the top names.
Many speakers talked in depth about just about everything – you will not get bored!
This year however, I’ve noticed that they are asking for a refundable $100 registration fee – I suppose this is to prevent wasted seats from those who apply and then don’t turn up.
Still, it’s well worth the free attendance. See you there!

Today I found myself reading one of those thin ‘Personal Development’ paperbacks (Which I managed to read in a day or so – quite fast for me!) and one of the ‘exercises’ was the ‘wheel of life’ which is a common theme in these sort of books.
Pick eight facets of your life eg. health; wealth; money; relationship; friendship etc. and score them 0 to 10. I thought this would be a good exercise for a trader, to list eight trading related facets and see where any improvements could be made.
The idea is that you will like to improve the ones which already have a high score, but you should concentrate more on those that have lower scores, for an all-round ‘healthy’ life as a trader.
Some of the areas I thought of were: record keeping/Admin; entry/exit strategies, trading plan, goals, routine etc. To be a good trader, you need to be good in all areas of trading, so this exercise can only be tremendously useful – give it a go!

Yes, it’s easier said than done!
We buy various courses from internet gurus, supposedly make us financially free and then get distracted, by buying other stuff.
I suppose it’s human nature to be inquisitive or perhaps feel that we don’t want to miss out on anything.
I’ve realised that the best results are made by sticking to one ‘system’ or plan and not to get distracted.
Follow it through to the letter and learn from it. Focus on one goal – to complete the ‘course’ or ‘system’ that you have bought.

It’s finally a proper Blog! – After many years of just being a website, I’ve decided to take the plunge and make it a proper WordPress Blog.
I know this will be a good move for all my visitors!
