The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Robert Ringer says, “I have long believed that the difference between success and failure — in any area of life — is not nearly as great as most people might suspect.  And as the years have passed, I have become increasingly convinced that action is perhaps the single biggest factor when it comes to determining how an individual’s life plays out. “Nothing happens until something moves” are the words of the greatest scientific mind of the twentieth century, Albert Einstein.  The Theory... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Susan Fujii says, “My goal at Kung Fu Finance Headquarters is to expose the truth of how wealth building really works (and how falling prey to hype such as “buy this ONE stock and make 300% in 6 months!” really doesn’t work). Today is one such occasion, and I would like to expose a dirty little secret about building wealth… A few weeks ago I talked about the #1 predictor to your future wealth (your wealth chest or net investible income, commonly referred to as your “savings”)... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Craig Ballantyne says, “On the cold, clear morning of December 27th, 2010, I had to rush my mom to the hospital. She had been experiencing chest pain for a couple of days, she later told me, and things were getting worse. As I waited in the Emergency Room to hear from the doctors, I thought about all of the things – both personal and professional – I wanted to achieve while my mom was still around to see them. Fortunately, I expect her to be around for many, many more years. She was lucky that her chest... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Craig Ballantyne says, “I was livid. It was a Friday afternoon and during our weekly sales review, one of my publishing partners gave me an invalid excuse for poor performance. “Sales are down because it’s a slow time of the year, so don’t worry about it.” Grrrr. This is WRONG thing to say to me. Because I don’t believe it”. ‘Early to Rise’ Newsletter  [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Brian Tracy says, “There are more than 2,000,000 books published each year and yours can be one of them. You have the ability, right now, to write and publish a book on a subject that is important to you. Like riding a bicycle, learning how to write a book is a skill that you can master with practice and repetition. According to USA Today, 82% of adults dream of writing a book someday, either to express a heart-felt concern about a subject, or to earn a living, and even become successful. The key to writing a book... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Paul Lawrence says, “When I found that I could earn college credits by taking judo, I jumped at the chance. I’d been taking karate for a couple of years, and I was pretty good at it, if I do say so myself. I was used to getting punched and kicked, so I figured judo wouldn’t be any big deal. As I entered the first class, I felt pretty confident. The instructor gave me a hearty welcome and explained that judo was basically like wrestling. I paired up with a guy about my size, and the instructor said to... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Robert Ringer says, “A healthy perspective has allowed me to view so-called physical handicaps in a different light since my daughter was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at a relatively young age. Like most parents confronted with the illness of a child, I went through the usual stages of denial, anger, and despair. However, as the years passed, I increasingly focused on how lucky my daughter was that she did not have the chronic-progressive type of multiple sclerosis. People with the latter form of the disease... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Craig Ballantyne says, “Over the last four decades of her life, my mother’s health has been on a gradual decline. Today, she suffers from high blood pressure and pre-diabetes symptoms. Poor lifestyle decisions and a paucity of knowledge about healthy living have taken their toll. She also spent those years putting off care of herself, as she worked hard at her low paying job while raising two children practically on her own. But since she retired she’s been busy making changes. Every month when I visit... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Susan Fujii says, “I graduated from college in 1996. For four years afterwards (four really fun years…) I did not focus on investing or on “personal finance” at all. These were the boom years, the party days, the “sure I’d love to buy all fifty of you another round of drinks, who’s counting?” nights. Good times, indeed. My attention was directed on other things at the time, and sure enough, while those things flourished (I did meet and eventually marry Kung Fu Guy, so it... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Craig Ballantyne says, “There must have been enough food for an entire army. His team had filled jar upon jar with roasted nuts, chocolate covered almonds, and trail mix. There were a dozen bags of chips, and more candy was overflowing from the kitchen. Plus, he had a professional catering company on-site to serve up burgers, flatbread pizzas, and steaks during the game. But with only fifty-five guests- all of them fitness professionals or their partners- that meant there was plenty left over. Of course, such a... [...]
