July 19th, 2007 under Income Reports, Passive Income.
I made $1532.80 from passive income sources in June, up $90.13 (6%) over May.
The thing I like most about passive income is the cumulative effect. The work I put in each month goes towards increasing my cashflow, not re-creating it. In other words, once I set up an income stream, it keeps coming in. Therefore, I can focus my time on adding to it.
Some of my sources are more passive than others …

July 18th, 2007 under Affiliate Programs, Blogging.
LinkWorth is a Text-Ad broker in the tradition of Text-Link Ads, with a special emphasis on Search Engine Optimization.
I’d never even heard of it until Matt (from the company) read my article on Text-Link Ads and left a comment to let me know that there was another option with quite a few features.
Last month, TLA was my #1 money earner; so I was open to hearing about similar concepts. I was skeptical, as I am with all promotions, but …
Make Vending as Passive as Possible

July 17th, 2007 under Bulk Vending, Passive Income.
The first thing people say to me when they find out that I own a bulk candy vending business is, “have you looked into snack and soda machines? I know a guy who’s making a ton of money off those things.”
I just humor the person with a smile and a nod, knowing that they would never understand why I’d never touch one of those machines.
The Passive Income Mindset
In my way of thinking, the problem with large vending machines that sell packaged products is …

Critical Thinking 101 :: Duality
by Brian Lee. (Visited 4854 times) (9 comments)
July 10th, 2007 under Critical Thinking, Personal Growth.
The foundation of learning to think critically is the ability to recognize duality.
Duality is a universal principle (like gravity, exponential growth, or synergy) existing in multiple aspects of our life, environment, and universe. On the most basic level, duality is the existence of opposing forces in the universe.
“To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction…”
-Newton’s Third Law of Motion
The principle of duality runs deep into the fabric of space and time, and can be found just about …

July 2nd, 2007 under Personal Growth.
When is the perfect time to start a business, lose weight, start investing, become an artist, travel the world, or create the life you have always wanted?

When the economy is just right?
When you’ve taken enough classes?
The truth is: the perfect time to start never comes. If you want to change your life, you have to just do it.

Build Posture To Close Deals

June 27th, 2007 under Personal Growth.
Why is it that two people can offer the same terms, product, or service; and one can walk away with the deal while the other is left empty handed? The answer is what negotiators call “posture.” The way you present yourself can have powerful effects on your perceived credibility, trustworthiness, and authority.
Remember back to the playground, when kids used to pick teams. Who was more likely to get picked: the kid who stood tall, with a confident smile, and an indifference to …
