A little while ago Robert Tuchman reached out to me to see if I would write a review of his new book “Young Guns: The Fearless Entrepreneur’s Guide to Chasing Your Dreams and Breaking Out on Your Own”. I gladly agreed since his book was right on topic with this blog as it discusses paving [...]
The Disposable Age We live in the disposable age. We eat take out, use disposable dishes, and look for a quick and easy fix for everything. The current bestselling books talk about doing less and enjoying more like “The Four Hour Work Week” by Tim Ferriss (which I am all for by the way). We [...]
To get lucky, you need to constantly be learning and opening up new horizons. Whatever area it is that you want to get lucky in, you need to involve yourself in your interest and surround yourself with tools to increase your knowledge of the specific area. Hang around people who are where you want to [...]
This past week I read, (well actually listened to) Tim Ferriss’ book, The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich. I have been meaning to read this book for some time now and I finally had the chance to listen to the audio version on a road trip I took this [...]

Truth be told, a person can learn new things from a single lecture or book each time he hears or [...]
Another piece of advice from The Richest Man in Babylon is to discipline yourself when it comes to saving your money. They give the example of a man who decides that he is going to throw one pebble in the river each day. It would make sense if this person would miss a day that [...]
Back to the book “The Richest Man in Babylon”, here is another lesson that I feel is important to share. “Put in 10 pieces of copper into your purse but only take out 9”. When working for pieces of Copper keep 1/10th of what you earn and save it. That will start building your ultimate [...]
I started reading the book, The Richest Man in Babylon this morning on the subway on the way to work. I have read a few reviews on the book, added it to my amazon.com cart and it arrived this past week. I knew that it was a must read but I didn’t realize how useful [...]
