September 4, 2007 Because You DESERVE ItIn This Issue:Feature Article: "Because You DESERVE It" Quick Tips: "The Biggest Trap - and OPPORTUNITY - In Trading and Investing" Fast Facts: "The Most Versatile Vegetable On Earth?" * FEATURE ARTICLE * “Because You DESERVE It”Last week my family and I enjoyed a holiday at the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia.The Gold Coast is a thriving, vibrant city overlooking spectacular beaches (literally kilometres of white sand and warm, Pacific Ocean). The city is unabashedly touristy and commercial and FUN... with plenty of great cafes and restaurants, four major theme parks, tours of stunning canals, hinterlands to explore, and more. We had a FANTASTIC time. But you know what? I was reluctant to go on a holiday. It was only because I felt that my husband and my two children deserved it that *I* felt "justified" in having a holiday myself. By some strange logic I didn't feel as though I had earned it. Do you sometimes feel this way? Not necessarily about holidays, but about other "rewards" that you don't think you deserve? Well, I'm here to tell you that YOU DO deserve the good things in life. I mean, why wouldn't you? Because you haven't received "permission" to have those good things? Because you haven't "earned" them yet? Because you haven't reached some level of achievement that signals that you're entitled to those good things? That's how I used to think. And thinking like this can be good. It can motivate you to achieve something worthwhile. It can also ensure that you don't, for example, spend money that you don't have. But taking this kind of thinking too far will HINDER your happiness. You may end up thinking like you NEVER deserve good things. Which will also prevent you from sharing the good things in life with those you care about. Like family and friends. Given that life is short - and can be taken away from you as fast as a bus can knock you down in the street - that's a shame. What's more, thinking like this just isn't logical. After all, who decided that you must do one thing (e.g. achieve some self-proclaimed indication of success) in order to enjoy another thing (e.g. a holiday)? It was YOU, right? But does your "reward for effort equation" REALLY make sense? Is there actually too much effort for too little reward? Obviously, in relation to rewards that cost money, you need to earn a certain amount of money before you can spend it. But apart from that, there's NO RULE stating that you must do one thing in order to achieve another. You created this rule yourself! And you can change it. And if it's not serving you or your family, that's what I suggest you do: change it. I'm not saying it's going to be easy. This is a challenge for me too. But I bet it will be worth it. * HIGHLY RECOMMENDED * “The Most Bang for Your Buck - Ever!”Get $1004.87 worth of rock solid, business expanding training and techniques in the most cutting-edge areas of modern business for less than a cheap dinner for two... ...and help save a child's life in the process! Read on, to learn how you can become a hero at home and to a child who was born with a condition that's easily curable - but fatal if not treated: * QUICK TIPS * “The Biggest Trap - and OPPORTUNITY - In Trading and Investing”Seen any claims like these before?-- "You should be sitting on an approximate 65% gain..." -- "Gains of 2,000% or more practically overnight..." -- "Rake in Street-stomping gains of 68%, 85%, 133%, even 768% in just 6 months..." All of these are from a popular financial newsletter. Now, apart from the fact that these are pretty bold claims, here's the trap - and OPPORTUNITY - that could cost or make you a fortune if you invest in something based on such claims. You see, these "gains" are NOT necessarily the gains YOU will make... When you invest in a particular asset, you don't simply plonk down a sum of money, sell the asset at some future point in time, and rake in the SAME percentage gain as that stated in the ads. There are actually FOUR FACTORS that will SIGNIFICANTLY impact the ACTUAL return you receive. They are: 1. Leverage In many cases, one or all of these factors can DECREASE your actual gain. BUT if you're smart, you can also manipulate these factors to INCREASE your actual gain. Take taxes. Some investments have preferential tax treatment. Which means that your actual, after-tax return may be higher on one investment than on another - even if that other investment actually increases in value by the same or greater percentage. So, when it comes to trading and investing, it LITERALLY pays to take these four factors into account when comparing and choosing trades or investments. This month's Investment Success Formula discusses these four factors in detail. ==> Download your copy here. * HIGHLY RECOMMENDED * “What Investment Opportunities Should You Consider?”Download the August 2007 issue of Investment Success Formula and discover the answer (although it might NOT be what you think...)

Reduces high blood pressure... And it also fights the common cold, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and other diseases. It's a good source of dietary fibre and potassium, low in calories, and contains anti-inflammatory, anti-cholesterol, anti-cancer and anti-oxidant components such as quercetin. What's more, it might just be the most versatile vegetable on Earth, adding flavor to dishes from just about EVERY CUISINE! Fried, sauteed, caramelized, baked, tossed in a salad, pickled... even added to a famous cocktail. It's enough to make you cry... literally! Yes, I'm talking about the humble onion, available in red, white, brown and "pearl" varieties. I heartily recommend that you make onions part of your diet and enjoy the associated health and culinary benefits. Oh, what to do about "onion breath"? Eat a few sprigs of parsley! Parsley is very high in chlorophyll, which neutralises onion breath. |
