Rasheed — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 16:44:26 +0000

When I wrote about how to fire your boss, I didn’t realize that it would become one of the most popular post on this blog. Obviously it is something a lot of people are interested in. So I asked on Twitter and Facebook, “What is the number one concern you have that stops you from firing your boss?” The number one answer was “How would I pay my bills?” And I thought, how would you your bills if your boss fired you instead? Most people, when faced with the situation of losing their job, ...

Tim Ferriss, in his book 4HWW introduced the term The New Rich. These are the people who enjoy the lifestyles that were traditionally linked to the rich people, without having the assets of the rich people. The New Rich enjoy the lifestyles of the rich because they have created passive incomes that allow them to fulfill their obligations and cover the expenses of their desired experiences. In other words, the New Rich have learned to live rich without being rich. I want to introduce the term The New Millionaire. Traditionally, The Millionaire ...

Last week I wrote about inspired writing, or more accurately, writing when I am inspired. I mentioned Steve Pavlina, who uses this method to produce his best work. Steve did something awesome, something totally mind boggling the other day. He put up almost all of his work in public domain. No, it didn’t inspire me to do the same, but it gave me some ideas about making money. No, I don’t intend to take his work from public domain and create e-books to sell, though he himself suggests that you can ...

A couple of weeks ago Karol Gajda and Adam Baker put together a phenomenal package of business resources at a you’d-be-a-fool-if-you-don’t-buy-it price and made it available for 72 hours only. I chose to be a fool. There were several reasons why I chose not to ‘invest’ in the package, despite it’s attractive price tag, proving to myself that a deal isn’t a deal, if that’s not what you want. When I was in college, I received some great advice from another student, who attributed it to his dad, who was a multi-millionaire in India. He ...
