Wealth Management

Too many entrepreneurs and business owners have succumbed to the notion that they cannot shake off from their present job highway and move on. If that's the way you feel too either have some serious personal leadership issues that need to be worked on or you need to remind yourself that you don't have forever to plant a cash tree. You might think you are indispensable where you are or are warming yourself in your own glow but unless you exercise the freedom of stepping off the beaten tracks from time to time your rainmaking ability will slowly collapse and you will become nothing more than an employed Asimo.

We don't have free minds only to enslave them to averageism, being contented with or philosophize about our choices. We are not meant to drift aimlessly without purpose and direction. We must engage in and use our talents and skill technologies to their fullest in ways each of us sees best. To do otherwise is to waste our lives by personal choice. Impoverished communities or captive men and women caught up in prison camps or slavery know too well the banality of waste:human life of tremendous potential reduced to mere existence,slithering in and out of the days of their life. Denied all will to make use of the best of their talents and energies their lives wither away into oblivion.

If your economic productivity is handcuffed or your rainmaking is closeted in a tower of self erected mediocrity then your life has lost it's sense of purpose. Don't seek refuge in a rat hole. Wherever you may be,whether a baker or in an office,on an assembly line or a teacher don't plant yourself in a place too small to grow in. You expand your life by using your talents and imagination. Remember the beginnings of the electric bulb or the wheel or the torch?

Starting your own internet business is one breakaway. You'll have the freedom to concentrate on a passion. The freedom to set your own work hours. The freedom to work from wherever you are in the world. Best of all you take the first steps towards financial abundance.

Secrets Of The Super Young - What You Can Do To Keep Age At Bay

Who Are You Calling Old?
When Frank put on water skis in 1939 they were wooden planks with rubber straps screwed on top.Now he's past a century...... Your Age Is What You Make It! It's never too late in life - or too soon - to strive for a dream or cherished goal.With enthusiasm and optimism here's a short chronology of some who ate life up greedily :
Age 3 : Mozart plays the harpsichord
Age 7 : Chopin composes .
Age 10 : Thomas Edison sets up his lab in the
basement.
Age 10 : Jason Hardman creates a library for his town - Elsinore , Utah
Age 12 : Gertrude youngest world record breaker in women's freestyle swimming
Age 21 : Jane Austen begins Pride & Prejudice
Age 25 : Charles Lindbergh makes solo flight
across Atlantic.
Age 42 : Fonteyn begins her dancing career.
Age 43 : JFK becomes President
Age 50 : Henry Ford begins mass production of autos
Age 53 : Thatcher becomes British Prime Minister.
Age 64 : Chichester sails alone around the world.
Age 65 : Karl Wallenda was still wire walking.
Age 80 : Grandma Moses exhibits her paintings
Age 88 : Pablo Casals still performing
Age 94 : Goerge Bernard Shaw's first play produced.

The men and women envied most are those who accept age as a series of challenges. For them each new infirmity is an enemy to be overcome by force of will. Renoir had his brush strapped to his arm to continue painting magnificiently even after he was crippled by arthritis. At 78 , Goya deaf and his sight failing continued producing splendid work even though he had to wear several pairs of spectacles in order to work.As you enter life in the land beyond youth take on your projects that demand your best efforts but not so big as to dishearten.Benjamin Franklin was a newspaper columnist at age 16 and a framer of the Constitution at 81. You are never too old if you've got talent.Age has little to do with ability. So go invite yourself to live!

Boxing: Older, lighter, smaller? No problem, says Holyfield

He may be significantly older, lighter and smaller than WBA heavyweight belt-holder Nikolai Valuev, but challenger Evander Holyfield insisted at Friday's weigh-in he will be crowned world champion for the fifth time.
ZURICH (AFP) -
He may be significantly older, lighter and smaller than WBA heavyweight belt-holder Nikolai Valuev, but challenger Evander Holyfield insisted at Friday's weigh-in he will be crowned world champion for the fifth time.
At the Grand Casino in Baden, Switzerland, ahead of Saturday night's fight, a lean Holyfield tipped the scales at 97.2kg, while giant Russian Valuev weighed in at a huge 141kg.Holyfield is 11 years older, 43kg lighter and nearly 30cm shorter than Valuev, 35, the heaviest and tallest champion in history, who at 2.13 metres is a high target to hit.The Russian has only been beaten once in 51 fights when he lost his WBA title to Ruslan Chagaev last year, before he regained his belt by beating John Ruiz in August.But Holyfield, 46, has beaten the likes of Mike Tyson, James 'Buster' Douglas, Lennox Lewis and Riddick Bowe in his long career with a blemished record of 42 wins, 27 knock-outs, two draws and nine defeats.
He beat Douglas to win his first world title in 1990 and 18 years later insists he will be a champion for the fifth time at Zurich's Hallenstadion on Saturday.
"Yeah, he's bigger and heavier than me, but a fight is a fight," Holyfield told AFP.
"Everybody is talking about my age, but we'll see on Saturday night. I don't think age will be a problem."And although we are less than a week from Christmas, Holyfield knows Valuev will not gift him the title in front of a sellout 12,500 crowd.
"I am not into the whole wishing thing," said Holyfield when asked what he wanted for Christmas. "I will win on Saturday and then I want to enjoy Christmas."
Having been one of the best fighters in the heavyweight division in the 90's, Holyfield has lost four of his last eight fights and last held a world title in 2000.
The manager of the Klitschko brothers, world champions Vladimir and Witali, has said the Valuev-Holyfield is a 'disaster' for boxing's credibility.And even as recently as October, Valuev's manager Boris Dimitrov described a fight against Holyfield the fading star as 'ridiculous', but a sizeable purse seems to have smoothed over any misgivings.The Valuev camp now say they are using the fight to attract some publicity for the champion in the United States.This will be Valuev's second appearance in Switzerland having stopped Jameel McCline in the third round when they met in January 2007.And the winner of Saturday night's fight will have to face former WBA champion Chagaev in a mandatory defence after the Uzbekistan fighter was forced to relinquish his title through injury this year.SOURCE
