Achieving Financial Freedom in Times of Financial Turbulence

Newdawn — Tue, 08 May 2012 22:40:09 +0000

As the business climate seems to get more hostile, we tend [...]

Newdawn — Tue, 01 May 2012 22:36:52 +0000

Knowing “how to” is often less than half the story, when it comes to achieving anything worthwhile. We are daily inundated with “how to do this” and how to achieve that”, “six steps to this” and “seven steps to that”, but it is often easier said than done. Knowing how to do something is a [...]

The Trouble With Cheap

Newdawn — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 22:30:27 +0000

Deep deep down, we don’t like cheap things. More often than not, they are lower quality and are not as durable as their top of the range cousins. When it comes to cars, they have fewer safety features, poor road stability and the interior is bare bones. When it comes to clothing, the color runs, [...]

Turning Financial Setbacks into Stepping Stones

Newdawn — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 20:15:00 +0000

We all make financial mistakes. They are often quite painful. More often than not, we get to part with our hard earned money. Someone we trusted collected money from us and did not deliver the goods, or delivered inferior goods. Somebody borrows and does not pay back. A business deal goes sour due to bad [...]
